Do not put the light bulb in your mouth, otherwise you will not be able to take it out (Don't Suck It)

At the time when the Lunar New Year Festival was faltered by various superb directors' superb movie round [Beep], there is simply such an unqualified Hollywood spy action movie to save my life as a dick viewer. The first Hollywood movie introduced simultaneously this year, the starring is Captain Kirk, whom I like very much, and it is also adapted from the novels of Mr. Tom Clancy, which my friends and puppet army fans always talk about, so I am early. I listed this film as my last movie to go to the theater before the Spring Festival.

The movie was played until Jack Klein went to Moscow, I was squeezing sweat for the director, and at the same time secretly blaming myself for setting my expectations too high. Finally, the first action scene of the film in the Moscow Hotel is more than cruel, but it is not the kind of cool fighting that domestic spy movie lovers expect. Next, the animal actor responsible for selling cuteness brought by Hubble barely calmed the audience who was disappointed by the high expectations like me. To be a digression, the two recent movies in which Kevin Costner appeared in theaters seem to have an indissoluble bond with dogs. This time I brought the puppy out to sell cute, the last time I was caught in a tornado to save the puppy.

The film is getting better and better, but it started when my less optimistic fiancee Casey got involved in the war. Keira Knightley's appearance has always been out of my sight, and the role she played this time is not very pleasing to me. The first two struggled over the movie ticket. There is the most boring part of the whole movie. After Jack Klein murdered for the first time, the hung up call from Casey reminded me of the bridge where he was almost killed by a phone call from his wife in the "Zombie World War" where he watched the non-spicy belt in the first half of the year. part. At the beginning, my expectation for this character was probably similar to the setting of MJ in the old version of Spider-Man: I don’t understand my super-powerful boyfriend, all kinds of acts of death, if he doesn’t do so, he won’t be caught. The hostages were finally rescued by the protagonist, and only then did they realize that they had misunderstood in the past, and then embraced each other deeply... It was probably this kind of vulgar bridge. Practice has proved that the director of the film did draw on these vulgar bridges to a certain extent, but fortunately, they did not fully absorb them. The heroine's contribution to the integrity of the plot is far greater than I thought. Not only was she responsible for making most of the laughs in the film (in fact, there were not many laughs in the film, but it seems that Keira Knightley's work is even more valuable), and the plan of the protagonist and the group is also It was successfully implemented with her help. However, the heroine was caught in a dangerous situation, was taken hostage, rescued by the protagonist, and embraced affectionately... These vulgar bridge directors had to find a way to put it in.

The big villain of the film is personally played by the director. Of course, the same is true for the villain of a director who is full of literary and artistic style. So the villain in this film basically has no action except kicking his servant a few feet and slap Keira Knightley. The main energy of the villain is on watching the snow, moon, and stars with his wife (not yet) and talking about the philosophy of life (this is possible) from poems and songs. Of course, being a villain is not good at art, you have to show your bad side. So the director thought of an ingenious trick for himself: put an electric light bulb in the heroine's mouth.

The warning word "Don't put the light bulb in your mouth or you can't take it out" is printed on the outer packaging of the previous light bulbs. There should be similar slogans on foreign light bulbs, but I don't know the correct statement. Don't Suck It" or "Don't Blow It". There is also a related plot in the TV series "The Great Horseman" that he watched when he was young: Mr. Fan Debiao, played by Fan Wei, did not believe in evil after seeing the warning on the outer packaging of the light bulb.

From the beginning of the 007 series, the opponents of super agents have developed a good habit, that is, when they can kill the protagonist and the people around him, they usually choose more troublesome methods in order to escape for the protagonist. Or save people and buy time. In this film, when the villain put the light bulb in the mouth for the audience to popularize the harm, the protagonist arrived in time and successfully rescued his wife. My question here is, when the protagonist smashes the car, shouldn't the villain shove in the thing he has been playing with the heroine's mouth because of inertia? How can he shrink his hand instead? In any case, this time the villain changed tricks and added water to the protagonist. At the same time, he did not forget to plant a public service advertisement to tell the audience and friends not to put everything in their mouths. This intention is still worthy of recognition. .

In addition to the protagonists mentioned above, the most impressive of the other characters is of course the Asian female agent acting with the protagonist. Although she was basically a soy sauce, and she didn't even take a photo of her face, I immediately recognized her as Yao Suling in S1E2 of "Sherlock". The appearance of a mixture of East and West gives her a unique temperament and charm. Compared with the passers-by colleagues in the same group, her sense of presence has increased sharply.

Looking at the Lunar New Year files in recent years, the most topical movie is composed of Chinese films and Hollywood blockbusters every year: "Avatar" in 10 years, "Let the Bullets Fly" in 11 years, and "Dish" in 12 years. "Mission Impossible 4", 13 years is "Thai 囧". Originally, I predicted that this film could become this year's Mission Impossible 4, but now it seems to be a bit overestimated. In recent years, the spy-themed movies that have been released in the country in recent years, I am afraid that the film that can be compared with this film is only 12 years away from the terrible movie "The Bourne Shadow 4".

The lengthy and boring foreshadowing of the first half of the film is a fatal blow to the audience's enjoyment of watching the movie. Maybe it would be better to make this film into a TV series. ——Sorry, I was wrong. There is already a TV series version of this film. It is called "Homeland". Another potential threat to the film’s box office lies in his genre positioning. After watching the film, many people said that there are too few action scenes in the film. Although they all feature agents as the protagonist, this film is obviously different from 007, Bournemouth and Mission: Impossible, the latter is actually between the superhero movies with sci-fi colors and the traditional police action movies. , Dazzling equipment, hot fighting scenes are its important selling points. Although these commercial elements are also included in the film, the proportion is not high and cannot satisfy the audience. Similar to "Homeland", the film describes "CIA agents" as a real profession, and its legendary performance is relatively convergent. In fact, most CIA agents do most of their wits against the enemy, which is Jack Klein's old line, analytical work. When I took an audit class before, I heard the teacher talk about their work experience, and I was thinking that auditors are almost CIA analysts dealing with large companies. Coincidentally, in this film, Jack Klein's superficial work as a cover up when he went to Moscow was an audit. However, although the film strives to show the intense and exciting atmosphere of the protagonist’s brainstorming analysis work under pressure, it has also successfully made a group of viewers including me feel unclear, but this kind of wit Obviously, his performance hasn't reached the level of reversal suspense film that makes people ridiculous. Although spy warfare is a popular theme on the TV screens of China and the United States, it seems that it is still inferior to simple and crude action movies on the big screen. In my impression, the only spy film released in China in recent years is "The Wind".

There is no shortage of main theme works in Hollywood movies, such as "Independence Day" which I personally like very much and "Escape from Tehran" the year before. The main theme of the film is too simple and straightforward, so that I, a pubic hair commentator, would unconsciously guess whether the British director deliberately shot this way to achieve the ulterior purpose of discrediting the main theme of the United States. If it weren't, the director's faithful restoration of the cold war stalk that had already passed away would not help people feel a bit silly to the point of cuteness. The film conveyed this meaning: Maozi has oil, and they have no fear of messing up the world economy. Your heavenly dynasty has no good fruits, so let's do it with us, the American emperor. Is it really good to dig a wall so obvious and clumsy? Can you play happily together in the future?

Of course, putting aside the problems mentioned above, this film can still be regarded as the most worthwhile movie in the theater at this time. In the film, sneaking into the big villain's office is the best in the whole film. Although it is not as cool as Tom's jumping on the Burj, it is not too exciting in terms of excitement. At this stage, the originally noisy theater slowly became silent. Some viewers may still hold their breath. It was not until the protagonist was relieved that the audience breathed a sigh of relief, and then they could hear some of the audience being excited about what was just now. Comment on the story. In short, as long as it’s not the anticipation of watching 007 or Mission Impossible, the film is definitely worth returning to Chinese audiences who can resist swearing while watching "Private Order" and are very cooperative. fare.
