The scene is magnificent, the plot is bloody

I have never liked films like 007. The hero with the indestructible body of King Kong and surreal weapons will die and defeat the evil forces. So when I started picking out movies to watch in theaters, I didn't focus on this highly publicized "masterpiece", but I was a little excited about the looper, and it was about time travel, but this time it was the younger self who met the older one. I really want to see how the director tells this story. However, it was all the fault of the trailers. After watching the two trailers respectively, I chose Skyfall without hesitation. Nowadays, there are many channels for watching movies. If it is not for the effect of the picture, it can be solved on the computer. Since you go to the cinema, of course, the choice of the picture is more shocking. Suspense is my favorite, but sitting on the sofa at home with a cup of tea and a lot of snacks is the perfect match. Moreover, because of the Dark Knight trilogy, I have lessened my dislike for superhuman hero films. From the trailer, this 007 story seems a bit mysterious, and it may be quite attractive.
So one Sunday morning, despite the moderate rain, I went to the cinema, found the best location, and decided to immerse myself in the story for two and a half hours.
There are spoilers below, so be careful (but in fact there is nothing to reveal, as mentioned above, there is no suspense in this story, just guess the end from the beginning).
As a result, the first third of the film, I was so excited, Istanbul, London, and Shanghai and Macau, oh oh, Shanghai is so beautifully shot. Who is the person who stole the list? The only insider is dead, what should I do? Then, the shit started. 007 traced it there with the voucher of the Macau casino, and immediately met the woman at the scene of the Shanghai murder case. The woman not only did not evade, but also took the initiative to meet her and chat, and then sincerely believed that the man opposite could kill her. Lover. Not to mention why 007 can determine that the casino voucher is related to the case, not the murderer's personal hobby. He and the woman looked at each other so far apart, and they could see each other clearly. Not only that, but they also showed mercy to each other. That 007 didn't need to touch the woman's room and made out to her, just to prove his bravery to her. What (killed the three thugs who were monitoring the woman)? Then, the woman was beaten to death inexplicably for stealing someone. Stop, stop, women in 007 have always been vases, can you expect to be like those heroines in the dark knight? However, why, the mystery has also been revealed, it turned out to be a former intelligence officer, 007's senior brother and old colleague. This movie is only halfway through. Forget it, it doesn't matter what the story is, what matters is how the story is told, right? But why, why, there are so many magnificent scenes in the front, and the final battle will take place in the skyfall (only then did I understand the meaning of the title, it turned out to be the place where the male protagonist grew up when he was a child. When he was young, his parents became outdated, and he became a Orphans, and then selected by MI6 as the reserve army, but what does this have to do with this story?!), your old mansion, why can others find it, and it’s such a person who can’t live in a village or a store? Shooting in a dilapidated house, it seems that MGM is indeed going bankrupt. So, in the last third of the movie, I was always looking forward to finishing it soon and letting me go home.
This is my first 007 and my last.

    The collaboration between SamMendes and 007 has injected aesthetics and themes into this series. Mendes’ talents can be seen everywhere in light and shadow. The high-rise fighting scene is the most talked about. The jellyfish pattern on the background wall enhances the artistry of this game. Hardness and softness are reflected in the same picture, beautifully. The 50-year banquet did not hesitate to use the length of the Bond girl to make JudiDench leave the show, ushering in the new M, Q, and Miss Chambany, but the film is destined to be a new beginning for the series. The script is rather terrible, and the director’s law that the more bullish villains become more evil also does not stand, Harvey Baden is no better than the other 007 villains.

    Destroying cars, demolishing houses, smashing things, wasting manpower, cheating on Ling Luo, burning a lot of money, and the audience paid the bill.
