escape from formulaic films
. There will always be some "formulas" after filming for a long time, especially the formulas of special-type films seem to be more and more fixed, such as when the bad guy wants to kill the protagonist There will be a lot of nonsense, and as a result, the protagonist will find an opportunity to fight back or escape successfully. At this time, some viewers may complain, what if the villain shoots the protagonist readily at this time? Can there be another development?
Or we will feel that the protagonist is always so serious, full of sense of justice, and has no evil thoughts at all. What if the protagonist is not so serious? Ideas like these seem to be the main reason for the success of this film.
There's a lot of that in the movie, and it's kind of impressive that Van Rentham said to Harry Hart, "Did you think I'd say a bunch of crap and let you get away with it? That's not that kind of movie", and then Shoot Harry Hart.
Or maybe not all spies are so stubborn that they refuse to reveal who the unit behind them is, and the people who trained at the same time as Igosy confessed Kingsman when they were in danger. (There is a piece of "Want to watch? Please watch the VCR" kind of joke)
and the princess said to Iggsey, "If you save the world, I will let you come from behind", and Iggsey succeeded in saving After the incident, the princess really took off her pants and lay on the bed. Although the movie is spoofed, it doesn't make me feel inferior.
There are many new techniques in fresh breakthrough
movies, such as missiles to blow up a wall at the beginning, and the fragments after the explosion become fonts.
Or the scene where the heads of all the "surviving animals of Noah's Ark" (VIPs) were blown off and turned into fireworks that exploded, which is really a super spoof. XD
is also a bit of an interesting, but less of a spy movie subject, like parkour (Igosy's part).
In addition, McDonald's can appear in spy films without making people feel that this is placement marketing, which should also be a big breakthrough. XD
Tribute
There are also bridges that pay homage to other movies, such as the interview process, when everyone ran to use the shower head + toilet to breathe, only Iggey said, why not just open the door? (The pressure of the water in the whole room should make the door completely unable to open.) Later, only he found out that the mirror is a two-way mirror, so he broke it hard and escaped. This paragraph will remind me of the interview of "MIB Space Marines".
High-tech weapons that seem to be generally equipped: lighter bombs, bulletproof umbrella guns, leather shoes hidden poison knives, watch anesthesia needles (basic Conan), etc., these will remind people of the style of the 007 series. The secret base of secret agents disguised as tailors is a common setting for this type of movie. "MIB Star Troopers" is also a grocery store and a residential house that turns into a arsenal after pressing the button.
There are common bridges in the past "training" type movies, such as telling them during skydiving that one of the people's parachutes is broken, testing their ability to adapt to emergencies. Human selfishness may be seen here, but the irony is too shallow. The result is that everyone's umbrella is normal, don't believe what others say! Even in times of crisis.
At the end of the training, test whether they dare to shoot and kill the pets they get along with day and night. (Genkai said to Yusuke: Come in and kill me if you want to learn kung fu)
Question
When watching the movie, it is intuitive that American audiences and film critics will like this movie, and in Taiwan, it will definitely attract young friends to join and give Good reviews.
But I don't seem to like this movie that much, I just feel miserable, and it is a movie that is different from the public opinion.
I speculated about the possible reasons, one, I had greater expectations for director Matthew Vaughn, because I loved "X-Men: First Class" so much.
Second, I think the "coherence" of this movie is not enough, and the setting is too simple.
It's like Igosy has a gold coin that can fulfill any of his requests, but only uses it for stealing a car and running after the police.
The church massacre was quite sudden. Why did so many weapons suddenly appear in the church? Don't think the movie has to go "positive", but I don't see the purpose of this scene? Does it appear only to be different from previous spy movies?
Hot air balloons float into outer space to launch rockets. Is there no wind in this world? (But I feel that this paragraph may be a tribute or a satire)
The movie is discussing that the world is easily divided into two parts: the elite and the bottom of the society. The environment in which Igosy lived: Mom followed a gangster who just wanted to fuck her in threesomes and beat her all day long. Igosy told Harry Hart that I would never be a gentleman, that I had no choice in life.
For the presentation and handling of this issue, the film directly turned Iggassy from a street gangster into a gentleman; it also expressed through Harry Hart's "The times are different, and the powerful will not always be the powerful." Personally, I would feel that It's not dealt with deeply enough here.
It will feel like a hodgepodge of movies, and the coherence is very insufficient, that is, each paragraph has its intended purpose, which may be tribute, satire, expression of social phenomena, humor, creativity, etc., but the overall plot and style are not integrated.
Of course, this is just my personal feeling. If you don't think or don't care about these points, you may feel that the movie is perfect; that's normal. Everyone cares about different points. I just want to record it in detail. Just a personal feeling.
Colin Firth (Harry Hart)
I watched very few movies, the first time I saw Colin Firth's movie was "Voice of Kings: Declare War", although I knew at that time that he was This year's Oscar-winning actor, I only thought that this role was not easy to play, but the impression was not so strong. After that, "Brave of the Heart" and "Don't Trust Anyone" were not particularly impressed by this actor.
Until I finished watching this drama, oh my God, Colin Foss is so charming! Would love to be a gentleman like him.
The movie perfectly creates a charming character. He doesn't always like to get along with his younger sister like the traditional James Pound. He is a handsome gentleman, and his every move is full of a gentleman's breath, but unexpectedly super. will fight!
In terms of creating the atmosphere, the audience I want to see will remember that when he was provoked by Dean's men, he elegantly buttoned the door. This action should be a common memory of the audience.
This character will be a classic, like Captain Jack in "Fairy Voyage."
Classic line: Manners Maketh the Man
Taron Egerton (Eggsy)
initially only remembered the parkour part of the character, thinking he was a lot like those young girls would like Hollywood actor, handsome and in good shape. Until...
it's Harry Hart II! Dressing up is actually very suitable for such a gentleman style (with a little naughty yuppie, a little bit like Leonardo DiCaprio).
When Samuel L. Jackson as Valentine was
just watching the trailer, I thought he was from Kingsman's side, but he turned his back on Colin Firth; it turned out that the movie wasn't like that at all. !
He is a crazy rich tech upstart with hip-hop style + suit style, and an impressive character.
The speech has a clear tone (many characters in this movie have a clear tone), thinking that human beings will only destroy the earth, and if they continue to develop, they will either perish with the earth (the virus kills the host), or die after the earth perishes ( The host dies and the virus dies).
Sofia Boutella as Gazelle,
a disabled person with prosthetic feet but also weapons (Captain Hook-style setting), cuts Lancelot in half impressive.
She also uses a windmill similar to hip-hop (or the whirlwind legs of "Shaolin Football") as an attack, and is a super villain.
Sophie Cookson as Roxy, Michael
Caine as Arthur
Alfred, Batman's butler in The Dark Knight: Dawn.
Mark Strong plays
the bald head in Merlin's "Don't Trust Anyone" (it's okay to describe it this way), and Colin Firth is also the main actor in the film.
(Hanna Alström) as Princess (Princess Tilde) Things
You Might Not Know Which spy movie salutes. 2, Professor Arnold The actor was initially kidnapped as a hostage, Professor Arnold (James Arnold), the actor was actually... Mark Hamill, the actor who played Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" series. Mark Hamill) 3, Word of Mouth: Basically, movies are released the day before the holiday. For example, most work weeks have two days off. People may go to see movies on Friday nights, so movies are mostly scheduled to be released on Fridays. But some special festivals such as Christmas, New Year's Eve, Lunar New Year, etc. are not necessarily closed on Friday. Some filmmakers will hold "word of mouth" on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and stop for 3 or 4 days in between, etc. It will be officially released on special holidays. This is how this movie or "The Great Heroes" is done. At the end of the film , Igosy returned to the bar. His mother was drinking with Dean and Dean's men. He used the same actions and lines as Harry Hart to repair Dean and Dean's men. The movie echoes before and after, and it is passed down from generation to generation. Interesting. 8.5 points.
