While longing for James Bond's suave and neat bravery to remain unchanged for 50 years, movie fans also hope to see new content and highlights in this series, so that the old Bond can burst into sparks and energy at any time. But the creation of a movie is never as simple as what audiences see in theaters.
From the just-released Spectre, you can see that Sam Mendes is doing his best to make this film one of the series that is different, while also trying to leave a clear thread for the series. Thinking back carefully, for the past 50 years, James Bond has always been a mysterious existence, non-stop performing tasks, non-stop on women, making a mess, messing around, and finally Save the world again and again.
However, who James Bond is, no one has ever explored in depth, and there has never been a clear explanation of how his nemesis, who has been in love with and killed for decades, has his origins. After Mendes took over the 007 series, he devoted himself to the exploration of these questions. I hope that through the decryption of Bond's real body, the audience can be given a more real and fuller character, so that Bond fans can have the ultimate understanding of their idols.
Of course, his maverick actions also gave 007 a different color. In particular, this "Spectre Party" is completely different from the past series of works. In addition to the street fire, surrounded by beautiful women, and two heroes, Sam Mendes has given this film more tenderness and the elegance of a British gentleman. . This is also destined to make this film the most controversial introduction film of the year.
From the plot point of view, this film is likely to become the slowest-paced and most literary one in the entire 007 series. Perhaps some viewers will be disappointed with "Spectre" because of this, and there may even be some "hero twilight" grief. But in fact, if you connect this film with the previous works into a complete content appreciation, you will find that it is a very interesting and wonderful existence.
In the latest release of 007, there are so many tributes to an unprecedented level. For non-fan audiences, this is a dangerous move, but for fans it may be amiable and respectable behavior, but based on Mendes' handling of old clues and plots in the first three films, it is very It is possible that these nostalgic scenes will be the foreshadowing of the lower 007.
Its situation is very similar to the previous work "Kai Bian Wang", with strong personal stylization, shallow explanations, characters and violent plots with masking and B-movie treatment, which failed to make the film more exciting. But it would be a good takeover part.
If its lower part can closely follow the development of its plot, it will have an unforgettable charm, but if the sequel fails, it will also have no good results. "Same.
Fortunately, 007 is a very mature spy war theme series. Although there are controversial parts, it also has quality assurance. Sam Mendez's wayward generosity, and Daniel Craig's increasingly comfortable handling of the characters, all keep the film up to par. It is very interesting that in this episode, Daniel's battle with the enemy is no longer savage hand-to-hand combat, but with the elegance and calmness of a gentleman.
For a long time, the hand-to-hand combat scenes that Hollywood has given to the audience are all the confrontation of strength. When two muscular men appear on the screen, the audience can know without thinking that what they will see next will be a hard punch to the flesh. So does the drama when Daniel faces the big guy.
The difference is that in the face of fierce opponents, he does not fight hard like a boxer, nor does he have the humor of cat-and-mouse like Jackie Chan. Of course, you can see real fights, smart dodges, and cunning tricks. However, from any angle, these moves are a little more literary and artistic, paying attention to the graceful posture and graceful movements.
Whether such a design is the director's whimsy or a deep-rooted gentleman's plot is only known by the creative team, and whether it is good or not is up to the audience.
At this point, it is unavoidable to mention the actor Daniel Craig. When the 007 series first appeared, the serious, old-fashioned and melancholy tough guy image of this British gentleman unfamiliar to the audience was questioned by countless audiences. He finally conquered the audience with his acting skills and created a unique image of James Bond.
In "Spectre", he even interprets Bond's British identity superbly. In the face of beautiful women, there is neither the frivolity and charm of Pierce Brosnan, nor the male hormones that Sean Connery always exudes, but more of a classical British gentleman.
As for the enemy, he behaved like a model worker, with a serious attitude and solid actions. Maybe he has his own sense of humor, but it's not so easy to see through at a glance. For such a Bond, it is difficult to judge his good or bad, but it must be admitted that he is more real and kind than previous ones.
After taking over as director of the 007 series, Sam Mendes kept trying to pull the Bond character from the altar and make him a more real, more current spy. This kind of thinking is doomed to Daniel Craig to be very hard, but it also helps him become a new individual different from any other Bond.
"007: Spectre" was released in China not long ago, and the audience's real opinions have not been received, but for such a long-lasting series, I still have confidence that it will go all the way smoothly.
