On the rigid mode of Hollywood action movies

Elza 2022-04-21 09:01:25

In recent years, the trend of Hollywood commercial films has become more and more obvious. The Mission: Impossible series and the 007 series are both classic trump card movies. Although high-tech special effects and action expressions are constantly being strengthened, the soul of the film lies in the plot and mode. Rigidity and no innovation in this regard, just relying on the enhancement and packaging of audio-visual effects, it will become more and more like KFC McDonald's, maybe you will like to eat it for a period of time in your life, but soon you will feel bored because of the sameness , and began to look for folk food with unique taste. There is always a rumor in the industry that movies are dead. Of course, it does not mean that we will not be able to see movies in the future, but refers to the rigidity and lack of vitality of this model. This probably means that we have seen less and less Hollywood model in recent years. For the sake of the movie.

The basic elements of Hollywood secret films: tall and handsome male protagonist, mysterious and evil female protagonist, a few die-hard helpers, the villain who sees no tail, a large number of high-tech equipment, extreme sports that make you dizzy, constantly strengthening visual impact. In the Mission Impossible series, the male protagonist has always been played by our little brother. We are too familiar with this person, so I will not introduce him; the female protagonist will change every time. Although the female protagonist this time is not very amazing, but In fact, it is very attractive and tasteful, and I have never acted in a famous movie, but Rebecca Ferguson won the 71st Golden Globe Award for Best Miniseries/TV Movie for her BBC's historical drama "The White Queen" Actress nomination. She played a tragic British undercover agent who was forced by her boss to go undercover, and every time she was exposed by the villain boss, it was really sympathetic. This time, the villain is a little new. It is no longer an evil group or terrorist, but a syndicate composed of all former agents, but after watching the whole movie, I don’t know what their ultimate goal is, just kill the disc. The spy's intelligence station in London, as well as some tragedies mentioned by Ethan, of course, killing the Austrian Chancellor must be a heinous crime, but in the end they didn't understand what they were trying to do, they just kept talking about changing and changing. Anyway, the villains are used to be cannon fodder, so let's not care too much. Several of Tom's assistants are also very loyal to play soy sauce. Peggy plays a little more. At least he went directly to the theater and contributed to the power station. The other two really came to play soy sauce later.

The most fascinating thing about spy movies is the kind of life that most of us ordinary people can't experience. For example, jumping from a dirt slope to a military transport plane, such as records that will be automatically destroyed after reading, such as sniper rifles that can be modified with musical instruments, fingerprint iris gait recognition systems, and glass cabinets that can trap big bosses, In fact, the high-tech equipment tried this time is relatively small, and there are not too many innovative things. Human skin masks, remote control satellites, face recognition, and data erasure are all weak. But whatever it is is an experience that is out of reach for ordinary people, not to mention the parachute jumping with a gas bomb in Belarus yesterday, watching a record destroyed after five seconds in a high-end clothing store in London, and jumping into the power generation in Casablanca tomorrow. Standing at the cooling station, I was listening to Turandot in Austria the day before yesterday. Such an unpredictable life of a secret agent enjoys the scenery and fun of this world, but at the same time, he may lose his life at any time, be tied to a pillar with scissors and hammer, or hold his breath for three minutes to faint, and race to death on the street. This endless sense of excitement and fantasy is something that ordinary people cannot experience, not to mention that every time you perform a mission, you can encounter mysterious girls and romantic love.

You can pay attention a little, all special agent films or Hollywood films basically have a relatively obvious climax at the beginning. For example, the opening climax of Disc 5 this time is that Tom brother jumped into the military transport plane, and with the cooperation of his teammates like pigs, he was successfully involved in the cabin in the upward airflow of the plane, and parachuted with a gas bomb. Now the opening of this kind of battle or stunt performance has basically become standard. It allows the audience to quickly enter the plot and makes you forget the existence of popcorn. Then there is a quick transition period of the plot. This plot will never be delayed. In the defense of the congressional committee, the Mission Impossible team was disbanded, and Ethan was plotted at the London intelligence station. The "Destruction" plot finally has some breakthroughs and new ideas. Then the mysterious heroine must appear. When the basic hero is arrested and forced to confess, the more beautiful girl who appears at this time is the heroine of our play, usually an agent of a friend country or the daughter of a certain scientist. Yes, he is mainly responsible for helping the male protagonist escape danger, but at this time, he will never explain the background and story of the female protagonist. The further emotional development of the female protagonist and the male protagonist will have to wait until the next climax scene.

The next big climax is the assassination in the Austrian theater. At this time, Ethan's teammate Benji has endured humiliation for friendship. At this time, he must appear to provide logistical support for the male protagonist, usually providing monitoring and data support. The mysterious trumpet is given a close-up shot, and then it must be assembled into a sniper rifle. When the heroine appears again, it must be impossible to distinguish between the enemy and me. The hero must trust the heroine with intuition, but this action must be a failure. Although the male protagonist is desperately trying to support the female protagonist in secret, the target of the action will inevitably be killed, and the female protagonist will inevitably be suspected and asked to prove her loyalty, so there must be clues for the male protagonist to find him. The phrase "you know where to find me" has become an invitation


for the next meeting. The next meeting must complete "Mission impossible". This time, the power station in Casablanca, Morocco was chosen. It is said that the secret of the syndicate is hidden in it. It is completely inaccessible, and there are still strict security measures. This time it is not fingerprints or eye masks, but the gait cannot be imitated at all, so the impossible task is to jump to the cooling water without breathing and without an oxygen bottle for 3 minutes. In the system, replace the security information card. The heroine must have rescued the hero again at a critical moment, but before the gratitude or love bursts out, the heroine will run away with the treasure she finally got. Therefore, it is the most suitable for the racing scene to be arranged in this section. This time, it is a relatively cool motorcycle. It runs on the highway and has a sense of speed and madness.


What followed was that there was no way out for the heroine's inner torment. It was impossible to turn to the villain, but she couldn't restore her identity and freedom, so the vague behind-the-scenes black hand was a little revealed. When I met Ethan again, it seemed intentional or unintentional, and I helped the villain capture the male protagonist's friend, and then the male protagonist was forced to do things for the villain, such as kidnapping the British Prime Minister or something. Then he betrayed the blurred friend, and then the boss behind the scenes was finally wisely found out, leaving only the villain BOSS to kill. Then the plot must be that the male protagonist seems to be pushed to the limit, his friends are in the hands of the other party, and he will not have any support, and then he will wait for the last "one-minute reversal".

In the end, the villain was trapped in a bulletproof glass cabinet, and the heroine recovered her freedom and drove away in a sports car, leaving behind the phrase "You know where to find me". Before we could finish, the familiar ending song melody had already sounded. , wash and sleep
