The style of the Wizard of Detective Jackie is old-fashioned and realistic, and the rhythm is calm and the atmosphere is well created, and the McDirector in Mission Impossible 5 still continues this style, which also leads to the lack of a very important feature of the series. From the train chase in the first finale to the Dubai Tower in the fourth, it can be said that each has the kind of exaggerated but also extremely ornamental passage. Even though this film dedicates paragraphs such as bare-handed planes and high-speed motorcycle chases, these paragraphs are not very "good-looking" due to the director's handling method. Compared with the motorcycle chase in the second part, the chase scene in this film has no soundtrack in the first half of the film, but only uses sound effects such as the vehicle engine and the environment to set off the atmosphere. In the second half, a lot of subjective shots are used to show high-speed moving pictures. All of these treatments greatly improve the impact of the sound and picture, but this impact, as I said before, does not make the film more "good-looking". You can say that he is exaggerated, dazzling and even stupid in the second final motorcycle chase filmed by director John Woo, but the effect displayed is very good. The variation of the series theme song + the use of Wu's iconic camera lens makes this scene extremely A cinematic pleasure. In addition, in order to highlight the real shooting factors, the film also sacrificed some of the viewing value to a certain extent. Taking the motorcycle chase as an example, this scene is really a complete chase without any other action elements, so it feels a bit monotonous. I don't know if the underwater card change was due to the shooting itself or the post-production. It seems that not only the CG traces are serious and the sense of urgency in time is not well expressed. Ordinary audiences don’t care about the production process behind the scenes. No matter how the film is shot and produced, the final effect on the big screen is the most important thing. It’s really a bit laborious to pursue the actual shooting at the expense of the performance effect. please.
Beyond that, Mission: Impossible 5 has narrative issues. The Mission Impossible series not only has different director styles, but also different narrative styles. The narrative structure of Mission 5 can be said to be copied from the fourth, so it looks and feels very similar to 4. The difference is that the fourth film is a relatively pure action movie. It can be said that the whole story of the film is for action scenes. Disc 5 is completely the opposite. In addition, the story and characters are relatively complex, so this narrative perspective It's a pity that a story that should have been very suspenseful has become too transparent in a way that is too straightforward.
But in terms of story and plot alone, Disc 5's design is excellent. The scene at the Vienna Theater combines the assassination behind the scenes with the opera Turandot in front of the scene. The whole process is completed in one go. When the music reaches its climax, the scene also comes to an end. The distribution of different roles and the movement of the action scenes. The designs are very layered. I have to mention the design of the ending. In the past, the series ended with an action scene. The 3rd and 4th episodes also formed a certain climax gap. Disc 3 is more the reason for the completion of the script, while the fourth It is a matter of paragraph arrangement. In the ending of Disc 5, the director ends with the interlocking plot of game after game, psychological game and cat-and-mouse game. It can be said that the processing method is more complicated and changeable than the previous works in the series. At the same time, it also avoids the problem of viewing experience or the gap in excitement in the ending. Director Mai, who is also a screenwriter and also serves as the screenwriter of this film, has a very good way of arranging and designing the story.
To say the biggest highlight of the film, there is no doubt that it is the new heroine played by Rebecca Ferguson. The previous heroines of the series are basically functional characters. Even if they are not reduced to vases, most of them lack the shaping of the characters themselves. Although Rebecca in Disc 5 does not belong to the kind of beauties at first sight, the characters are full of temperament and charm. A lot of wonderful and neat action scenes are designed for her in the film. The performance is also brilliant. In addition, the story of the film is also told with her as the core. Her identity and motivation are the biggest suspense throughout the film, and the film also uses a lot of ink to describe the character's inner entanglement and self-cognition. In addition, the emotional drama between the male and female protagonists in this Mission Impossible can be said to be the least depicted in the three series (2, 3, 5) but also the most successful. The two protagonists are brought about by their common identity and occupation. Mutual understanding and recognition is far more than a simple love factor. When other characters in the movie repeatedly stressed that the heroine was untrustworthy, Ethan, played by Tom, knew very well that this was just her task. After experiencing all kinds of betrayal and abandonment, the only person who finally recognized and understood her was Ethan. What impresses me most in the whole film is not the action scenes that were actually filmed, nor the various elaborate reversal plots, but the dialogue after the heroine met Ethan at the airport. When she said that we can fly away together and played the melody that no one can sleep tonight, I was stunned. The emotional catharsis and the music created a very strong romantic atmosphere that the series has never had before. , the combination of the soundtrack, characters and plot here can be said to have reached a height that the series has never had before!
Although the performance of the action scenes lacks some of the previous features of the series, the excellent story and exquisite plot design ensure that the film The high quality of the series, coupled with the iconic Tom of the series and the outstanding role of the new Tommy Rebecca Ferguson, Mission: Impossible 5 is still an action-suspense movie well worth watching.

PS: The original plan of the movie was to release it in the Christmas season, but due to various reasons, it was moved to July, so I was really happy when the halo5 placement advertisement appeared in the film. The movie not only gave the HALO5 game screen and a few close-ups of the box cover, but also specially added the subtitles of Halo 5 at the bottom. I said how did you play the game before it was released, is it CIA privilege?
