Before talking about this movie, I don’t know if you still Do you remember a movie you watched last year---"X-Men Reverse the Future", whether old X-Men fans, blockbusters or Fan Bingbing fans (?) contributed a lot to this movie The box office and topics left a lot of tears (saliva?) for the "sadistic love" of an American and French shark. But most people should not have noticed one name in the producer column on the credits: Matthew Vaughn. If you haven't heard of "Kick-a-Bian", then you should have also heard of "X-Men: Lesson 1" --- the predecessor of "Reversing the Future". For many reasons, both films missed the release in mainland China. However, the male-boyfriend relationship (base relationship?) in the two films is widely talked about, and the hasty relationship between men and women and the deep description of the friendship between men and women have also become one of Matthew Vaughn's symbols. Of course, aside from the previous two joking comments, Director Matthew has always been a master at shooting old-fashioned stories into new twists and awakening a fire in the hearts of men and women. The foul language is developed by a super-killing girl with one enemy and a hundred or the smooth and interesting super academy in "X-Men: Lesson 1", and both passers-by and movie fans can see the flash of surprise in the eyes of passers-by.
Before talking about the plot of this movie, I have to talk about the various complaints and tributes to the agent movie that are repeatedly mentioned in the movie. In the former secret agent movies, whether it was a cartoon-like prop, a villain who grinned and talked nonsense at the critical moment, a heroine with a noble appearance but a negative IQ, and a secret agent with a suit that was not messed up, all of them were loaded with people from all over the world. A century of memories. Today, times are changing, and cool agents are no longer in the minds of the public. In this century, even the superman who wears underwear and outerwear has embarked on a road of entangled self-identity - unkempt heroes have begun to dominate the mainstream. So this foul-mouthed yet confidently elegant film is a love letter to old-school spy movies.
------------------------If you haven't seen it, please note that the following is a spoiler
The plot of the movie is actually very simple. A handsome boy who is gifted but has no choice but to live in a daze due to the loss of his father since childhood was brought to the king by an old handsome guy saved by his father---I mean, he became a qualified man in the Kingsman Secret Service Academy. Agent's story. What is worth pondering is the ubiquitous tribute in the film: a docile uncle was insulted by a hooligan, locked the door and played a violent collision. Does this delightful feeling seem familiar? When you follow the male protagonist to enter the house step by step to success, is there a passion to support you? When you followed the male protagonist to see all kinds of fancy equipment for the first time, do you still remember Conan who likes to stab people with needles and Lingling Qi who uses shoes as a hair dryer? Well-proportioned, elegant in tone, courteous, and regardless of the weather, wearing a styled suit and holding a black umbrella, do we, who were not so obsessed with appearance, also imagine ourselves to be such gentlemen?
Of course, a love letter needs to be more than genuine and interesting to win hearts (even for "old women" like Secret Service movies) - Matthew Vaughn is Matthew Vaughn precisely because he always It can bring us surprises-----a hallelujah when the male protagonist starts killing in "King Bian", a glimpse of Wolverine in "The First Lesson", and so on, big and small surprises. It has won the hearts and minds of many fans and passersby. In "The Secret Service", in addition to the compact and reasonable plot and the manly soundtrack and atmosphere, there are also various anti-conventional surprises waiting for us - a boy complained when his uncle showed him the greatness of the Secret Service Is the sentence "How deep is this elevator (three words omitted here)?" a replay of your childhood thoughts? Did you drop your jaw when a certain M brand restaurant brand appeared on that seemingly mysterious plate? When the villain (named Valentine's Day?) didn't talk nonsense and shot Harry in the head, did you feel it suddenly? Not to mention the fireworks scene that is enough to be selected for the scene of the year - friends can testify that a person who watches a lot of movies a year rarely screams in surprise when watching a movie. The innovation in details also refutes today's "movie Marvelization" and "movie dark knightization" to a certain extent, such as comic book-like directing techniques, punch lines, surprise scripts and a deep grasp of the audience's emotions. , our theater chain will have the opportunity to enjoy such a surprise work in the future!
Of course, after talking about the movie itself, the theme of the movie is also essential. In fact, this movie promotes the mainstream values of Hollywood commercial movies: what you are depends not only on your talent, but also on your attitude. As mentioned earlier, the male protagonist was still a man who would steal cars and fight with gangsters when he entered the Secret Service Academy, but as his mentor Harry said, Manner makes a man: In hard training (agent training) , After the survival of the fittest (cruel elimination and selection system), the male protagonist must learn to meet all possible challenges in a gentleman's way. After Harry's death, the male protagonist's gentlemanly attitude, which can bleed, suits and hairstyles can not be messed up, not only It fascinated the audience outside the venue, fascinated the queen, and even killed the chattering villain. Facts have proved that a man who does things seriously, has taste, does not show his emotions and anger, and never flinches before the crisis is the real male god!
(Add a sentence before the end of the article, our theatrical version has deleted the five-minute church scene for a policy reason. Friends who like this movie or want to go to the theater but are hesitant to go watch it, five minutes of surprise It's quite worth it with cheers.)
-----------------------
(This sentence will not be included in the journal: this movie is really tm's That's cool! Matthew Vaughn is really guaranteed! He really does a lot better in male and female roles than male and female! Watch this kind of movie and prepare for surprises!)
