When I watched the preview in the cinema before, I was thinking about it. The scene of Anna walking past the Eiffel Tower in Paris in the sunset was a glimpse. There were also fragrant fighting scenes, Victoria's Secret-level catwalks, frequent golden sentences, and ups and downs. , The ingenious way of narration, the reversal of the front and back... Later, I forgot the name of the movie and never saw it. Today I finally rented a DVD to watch it, and it didn't disappoint me. Some behind-the-scenes stories on the DVD and the director's analysis made me This movie adds a lot of fun, and the feeling after watching it is: this is an underrated good movie.
1. Plot review (spoiler)
It tells the story of an ordinary girl in Russia who was taken in by the Russian intelligence service and then infiltrated by the US intelligence service.
2. The golden sentence of the movie
A good movie must have some memory points. Classic lines are a must. There are two lines that I quite like:
Trouble never sends a warning. Trouble never warns. It makes perfect sense. Troubles always come unexpectedly. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. This is especially true for a well-trained professional killer, because every mistake is fatal. The old lady in the Russian intelligence agency became lame because she fell into the trap of hunting wild beasts during a mission and had no immediate medical treatment. Usually, this kind of person has two attitudes. One is to share his own experience. The lesson tells others not to take detours. The second is to let others die. She chose the latter. If the old lady falls, don't think about it.
Matryoshka dolls are a woman inside a woman inside a woman. Now if there would be a doll made of me, what would she be? The baby was made by me, so what will she look like? This is Anna's perfect definition of herself. Every beautiful appearance is not her true self. Maybe only she knows the innermost true self. She just wants to be free and does not want to be controlled by anyone. This should be the professional quality of all female spies. They hide themselves very deeply and can never be seen through.
3. Behind the scenes
Anna's costumes are carefully designed by the director and the team, and even the film is tailor-made for her. In pursuit of real restoration, the director referred to the real clothes of Russian intelligence officers and American intelligence officers, so the outfits of the two male protagonists are completely different, and they are very close to their respective personalities and identities. The Russian Alex always wears a dark coat , is so old-fashioned that even the male actors can't stand complaining to the director. The American Lenny has a neat suit and a well-dressed look. Needless to say, Anna's clothes are from a professional model background and can easily control any style. The director is not worried about this at all. For example, in order to show her ability, she tries to make her wear boots and vests.
play. The director initially positioned the movie not as an action movie, but as a feature movie, because the movie only has three main fight scenes. It may be because the fight scenes are too exciting that the audience mistakenly thought it was an action scene. One of the most important fight scenes is the one in the restaurant. In order to arrange this scene, the actress Sasha Ruth trained for 4 months and filmed for 6 days before finally showing such a wonderful fight scene. But one thing is very strange, and I can't understand it. I don't know if our domestic movies are like this. The training for the past four months is completely a trick, not for Sasha Ruth to really do physical training. Remember Zhang Ziyi's filming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, isn't Liu Yifei's filming of Mulan really practicing martial arts? In comparison, Hollywood is a little easier.
Sasha Ruth 's beauty is really unforgettable, coupled with the powerful aura of Russian supermodels, she is definitely destined to be a rising star in Hollywood. Hollywood actor Luke Evans , who plays Alex, a Russian intelligence officer, is gay himself, but often plays such straight male passion scenes. In 2019, he also appeared naked in a horror film Ma (Terrorist Big Sister). In order to play a good Russian intelligence officer, he worked hard on his Russian accent and often asked Ruth for advice. Ruth lost her Russian accent for 10 years and spoke like a pure American, and now she has to teach him Russian again. The accent, both of them find it interesting. Not to mention the acting of Helen Mirren, a veteran actor and Oscar -winning actress . She acts like she does, and even the slightest movement of her lips is a play.
