sleepy and itchy

Just as the best chef may cook up a dish that a dog won't eat, even in a classic series, there will occasionally be a few movies that short-circuit the brain and make no sense.
The long-awaited "007: Spectre Party" is probably such a movie that can be used to brush the bottom line: it has writers and directors who have created countless classics, a cast with high acting skills, and the world's top creative team. Can be described as not taking advantage of the time and place. However, this almost supernatural combination has not brought us a brain-burning blockbuster that is eye-catching. The headquarters "007: Spectre" is not so much a suspenseful spy war film, it is better to say more Like a slow-paced literary film.
Although in the process of watching, my expectations were as low as the rating of the film online, but it would be unfair to classify "007: Spectre" as a bad film. After all, in many respects, "007: Spectre" Party" is also remarkable. For example: at the beginning of the film, there is a loud and crazy skull parade at the Mexican Ghost Festival. In the crowd like a tide, two masked people who are calmly retrograde but secretly chase create a strong atmosphere of suspense;
the undercover villain successfully penetrates as a management leader. MI6, and an intelligence network is fully woven within MI6, which makes the subplot more suspenseful;
the ink dance in the title is creatively choreographed, and the hazy images of the octopus girl and the villain are constructed through mirror images, and the octopus The ink spewed by the fish turned into a bullet that was shot, with hidden murderous intentions and extremely beautiful and lingering. It was the most successful movie title of all the movies I saw this year, and it was not one of them;
besides, from the hilarious Mexico Plaza to the vast expanse From the majestic Austrian snow-capped mountains to the dimly lit midnight streets of Rome, any location in the film is breathtakingly beautiful.
However, so many highlights are not enough to salvage a plot that has never been fully developed.
Due to the lack of necessary suspense settings and sufficiently exciting crisis management in the script itself, the entire foreshadowing link such as all the previous scenes and clues was extremely protracted. The more I look at it, the more sleepy I get, and even when I wake up, what I see is still seamlessly connected to what I saw before I fell asleep.
When the plot "closes the net", because the boring opponent is too stupid and keen to find his own way, Bond's ingenuity cannot be exerted, and his martial arts seem a bit reckless and rude.
For example: I originally thought that Bond's passion scene with the two goddesses Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux would be as exciting as the hand-to-hand battle between Bond and the villains. But in fact, the two passionate scenes both start inexplicably in the tense part that should be chasing the villain, and they both look at each other affectionately, after you touch me and I touch you, that is, with Bond's courtesy KISS hastily At the end, when the camera cuts back, Bond's clothes are neatly dressed - all the sultry scenes are up to the audience to make up their own minds. (Brain your sister! Fall!)
And the most important part of the spy war movie - the fighting scene, also maintains a fairly consistent tone with the passion scene of the film:
the villain who has been covering up for more than an hour finally Appeared! With more than a hundred bodyguards surrounded Bond and the heroine! It's time to start a one-to-many battle! Neither of the two sides accepted the other, and finally finished the lines and was about to start a fight. A sap knocked Bond who was in a daze... The battle was over.
Bond boss and the second villain start a hand-to-hand fight! The glass of the building was shattered! The second villain's rescue helicopter is here! It's too late and the time is too fast, the second villain stepped on the air and fell to his death... The battle is over again.
Time bomb to blow up the building! (This kind of plot is my favorite), the heroine is wrapped like a zongzi by the lead! Is Bond about to start debombing? Will there be a life-and-death confession plot? However, Bond simply untied the lead like a zongzi and left with the heroine... the battle was over once again.
The villain escaped by plane! The movie has 5 minutes left! This time I won't let him escape again! Of course not, I saw Bond took out a small pistol, "biu~!" The plane was shot down with one shot... The final round was over.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ! ! ! ! ! crashing! ! ! ! !
In contrast, the grenade in the anti-Japanese drama is really weak...
These insufficiently developed "sultry people" plots of the Yangtze River's back waves pushed the front waves, and one wave appeared stronger than the other, creating a wonderful effect of "approaching science" that was generally anticlimactic: some fierce battles ended suddenly due to accidents, and the Some wit battles were only taken away by literary and artistic, chattering rhetoric in the end. There is no danger and thrill of the tiger falling in Pingyang, and there is no hearty battle of life and death. Some are just more itchy from the heart.
I can't remember how the film ended, I just vaguely remember that some audience members could not wait for the film to end and started to leave the theater one after another. Then, the lights slowly turned on. I wanted to stick to watching the actors. Watch, I'll see if I'll wait for the Easter egg, but I can't--I want to rub the dog's eyes that was blinded by the light, and I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet, and I want to spit out a dog that was pissed or suffocated by a rotten plot. Blood.
I want to start from 2012, from "Heroes", "House of Flying Daggers", "Golden Armor in the City" to "Three Shots" and several so-called "blockbusters" that focus on scenes and do not focus on plots will be Laomouzi. Step by step from the most sentimental director in China to a money maker. In "007: Spectre", I also smelled a similar taste. As a movie dog with a shy wallet but keen to contribute to the box office, I just want to say that a movie is like a dish, a good plot is the main ingredient of the dish, and the fame accumulated in the past, magnificent scenes, well-known actors, luxury The production is also an indispensable seasoning. However, seasonings are just seasonings after all. You don't have any main ingredients in the pot now, but you delusionally think that as long as you take the best seasoning in the world and add some tap water to fry a bowl of marinade, you will be selected for "China on the Bite of Your Tongue". However, this is not the case. What's the use of eggs.
Still, looking forward to the next work in the 007 series.
