Actually, we all want to be assassins

"Wanted" is also known as "Assassin League". Before the release, I searched the Internet for movie reviews and the like, only to find that the two names belong to the same movie. It always feels that the name of "Wanted" is the second part of a certain movie, and the name of "Assassin Empire" is like a remake of a certain movie. Because Angelina Jolie's stern and motherly face is clearly printed on the poster, I still chose to support it when it was not released publicly.
The gimmick of this film should be in the so-called "bullet time" and "speed drift" two places. The producer Universal Company brazenly prepared a budget of only $68 million for the crew, but asked the director to make a shot with a medium-to-high level of special effects. Fortunately, the director was smart enough to control the filming location in the United States and the cheaper Central European country, the Czech Republic. All the desired shots are presented one by one in front of the audience. But there are two big scenes that are not mentioned in any report. One is the scene where the hero and his biological father fight on the train and the train falls into the abyss because of the ignorance of the conductor; Hundreds of shots of mouse bombs being deployed, although both of these can be produced based on computer stunts. But behind the camera, those scenes that touch our hearts are still in my head after the film is over.
When the male protagonist's father grabbed the hand of his son who was about to fall into the valley, but was shot to death by his son with a pistol, the father's eyes were so incredible, more of a helplessness, the son was still caught in the trap of the Assassin Empire , killed himself. When all the truth came out, the male protagonist found that his father had been living opposite him and had been concerned about his own growth. His absence was just to keep his son away from this organization and live a normal life. The design of this bridge makes me feel that some people love you with their lives even if they are not around you, and some people, even if they teach you fearlessness and courage in disguise, still want to use you in the end. We should look carefully at the people around us and understand those who are not around us.
Those thousands of mice are just like the self in our heart. We always scatter our spirit and will. We don’t know what exactly we want. In fact, as long as we concentrate our energy and gather our energy and courage, any Humans are great individuals. It's just that some people do it, so they succeed, and some people are still a mouse that only knows how to forage every day.
The content of the film is important, but the choice of actors is even more a matter of knowledge. Angelina Jolie who plays the "Fox" and Morgan Freeman who plays the leader, one of them is a mother who has just become a mother again, and the other is always playing the role of God and the boss. . Their partner makes us have to believe that they are the man the hero can really rely on, the warrior who will really train him to be an assassin to kill traitors. Their past roles and current identities, as well as the eyes in the play, allow us to fully believe that they are "good people", but it is only at the end of the film that he finds out that he only kills those who know the inside story so that his life is not threatened. people. But he made that choice while protecting most of the "Assassin Empire" talents. There is no judgement on what is right and what is wrong. And the actor is played by James McAvoy, who once starred in "Half-goat". The timid, innocent, and overwhelmed kind of half-goat is suitable for this film. We can think of those at the beginning. It is James's true performance, but with the development of the film, we have seen a change due to knowledge, participation, assassination, and victimization. On the surface, he is still the same, but the inner change can affect the hearts of every moviegoer. I don't think this is a purely commercial film, because the drama in my heart is far more thought-provoking than the action.

    Not bad, the rhythm is good. However, since the name is a clue to the murder, these people should not use their real names to protect themselves. . . Julie is so beautiful and sexy, I feel so beloved.

    It's a bit of a coaxing too much. Angelina Jolie can be a beautiful stepmother in it, so I can't find the feeling of love. I feel that the only surprise is Morgan Freeman's villain.

Wanted quotes

  • The Butcher: You are a pussy!

    Wesley: I'm not a pussy. I got a healthy respect for the human... condition.

    The Butcher: Fuck that! You are a pussy!

  • Wesley: [after killing first target] What did he do to deserve to die? You don't know. I didn't know if he was bad. I didn't know if he was evil. I didn't know anything about him. We get orders from a loom; fate. And we're supposed to take enough faith in what we're doing is right. Killing someone we know nothing about. I don't know if I can do that.

    Fox: About twenty years ago, there was this girl. Her dad was a federal judge, so she probably had it in her mind that she would follow in his footsteps. So she's home one Christmas, and her dad's on this big racketeering case. The defendant wanted to get a softer judge who they could buy off. So they hired this guy, Max Petridge, to get him to pay her father a visit. And the way he pays people a visit is to break in, and tie up their loved ones, and force them to watch while he burns his targets alive. And then he takes a wire hanger, twists it around, and brands his initials into each one of them so they will never ever forget. After I was recruited into the Fraternity, I found out that Max Petridge's name had come up, weeks before the federal judge was killed, and that a Fraternity member had failed to pull the trigger. We don't know how far the ripples of our decisions go. We kill one, and maybe save a thousand. That's the code of the Fraternity. That's what we believe in, and that's why we do it.
