"Mission Impossible 5": Lockdown

After watching "Mission Impossible 5" for about two hours, I still have all kinds of life-threatening images of Tom Cruise in my mind. As a series of films directed by the iron-clad Tom Cruise, "Mission Impossible" let IMF agent Ethan Hunt perform "impossible missions" again and again, conquering audiences with creative action scenes and accumulating reputation , has become the trump card of the secret agent action movie that appears every few years.
In fact, except that the first "Mission Impossible" is related to "Dish", the sequel really has nothing to do with "Dish". But perhaps because the translation of "Mission Impossible" is too expressive, it became the name of a series of movies by convention. As soon as "Mission Impossible 5" appeared, the fun came. "Mission Impossible" became locked, unlocked, locked and unlocked... In view of this, I think the renaming "Spy on Lock" is more in line with the plot of the film.
The IMF faces a double crisis in "Mission Impossible 5": it is merged by the CIA internally, and it is attacked by "syndicates" externally. Obviously, how the Hunter team turned around has become the core content of the film. In the meantime, the concrete and abstract "lock" throughout is the key to breaking the game.
The sword of "Mission Impossible 5" took a slant, and at the beginning, it released the previously high-profile propaganda of Tom's big move to smash the plane, which excited the audience early. Just when the audience was intoxicated with the "love" between Tom and the little beauty, the indiscriminate entry of the boss of the "Syndicate" directly destroyed the romantic atmosphere of handsome men and beautiful women, resulting in Tom being locked and the little beauty being killed.
Tom awoke to find himself leaning on a metal pillar, with his hands and feet in shackles, a beautiful woman who looked like Ingrid Bergman dangling in front of him, surrounded by fierce and strong men. The "orthopaedic doctor" wanted to torture Tom to extort a confession, but the beauty suddenly threw the key to Tom, and the two teamed up to do gymnastics to beat the crowd. The beautiful woman locked the gate and told Tom to run. Tom asked who you were and why you didn't run. The beautiful replied that I was the heroine and the director would not let you run.
Tom, while thinking about the heroine who is brave and righteous, investigates the boss of the "Syndicate", and tricks Benji to go to the Vienna Opera to find clues together. The two unlocked the door and acted separately: Bangui was in charge of the technical work, and Tom went after the "Syndicate". The heroine showed off her thighs gorgeously, and two "syndicate" killers sneaked into the stage. Accompanied by the singing of "Turandot", Tom and the heroine played acrobatic action scenes, but Tom did not catch the "Syndicate" boss or rescue the Austrian Chancellor, but determined the heroine. undercover identity.
Tom takes Bangui to Morocco to meet the heroine, and the three make a plan to steal the data that the "Syndicate" boss desires. The prerequisite for success is to unlock multiple defenses, especially gait recognition authentication. Tom snorkeled to change hardware, Bangui unlocked and retrieved data, and the heroine's maneuvering support, the near-miss theft made the audience's emotions ups and downs. So many high-tech locks have been dazzled by the sight. Unexpectedly, Tom and Benji's BMW cars also have palm-print locks.
This data is the lifeblood of the "Syndicate", and the top lock is perfect - the British Prime Minister's iris + palm print + voice. In order to save Bangui, Tom and Hawkeye approached the British Prime Minister with the usual disguise of "Mission Impossible" to unlock the lock, which also convinced the CIA director present to believe that the "Syndicate" really existed.
The climax of "Mission Impossible 5" is Tom's confrontation with the "Syndicate" boss. Tom first used psychological warfare to force the "Syndicate" boss to unlock the bomb on Benji's body, and then abducted the "Syndicate" boss to jump into the pit. Looking at the arrogant appearance of the "Syndicate" boss locked in the glass cabinet, Tom, who has washed away the shame of being locked in the record store, said you can't come out of the cabinet, right?
At the end of the film, the IMF resumes, and the CIA director also serves as the top leader.
"Mission Impossible 5" becomes "Locked Impossible", not only because of the main points of the plot - the data that the pros and cons are fighting for is top secret - it must be locked, and it can continuously increase the difficulty of "impossible tasks" to enrich the action scenes. This kind of small to big design is very effective. In order to successfully complete the lock, unlock, lock and unlock..., "Mission Impossible 5" collects all the skills of the action movie, suspense, fighting, technology, beauty, soundtrack and popular gags. There are many of them. Old-fashioned genre films are elevated to new heights.
"Syndicate" appears at the beginning of this film, but its origin is not revealed until the middle and later sections. The ambiguous identity of the heroine further strengthens the mystery of "Syndicate", forming a dual clue of one master. The suspense of "Mysterious Organization" and "Infernal Affairs" are not new, but this film is cleverly combined, fragrant but not greasy, and whets the audience's appetite.
Nowadays, most of the action movies of special agents are used to explosion scenes. "Mission Impossible 4" bombed the Kremlin, but "Mission Impossible 5" is an exception. It mainly fills bridges through fighting, diving, drag racing, and gunfights, and don't forget to shoot. Shi terrified Tom's scrambled plane, and Tom's psychological warfare against the "Syndicate" boss. My favorite action scenes in this film include flying the plane, the heroine's "Tarzan pressing the top" nirvana, snorkeling without an oxygen tank, and the BMW car drifting into the roadway and hitting a motorcycle. Although the scene is small, it is very entertaining. As for the hard advertisements of BMW cars turning somersaults, Tom and Benji are trying their best to speak for the quality of BMW cars.
"Mission Impossible 5" is equipped with high-tech equipment for the IMF and "Syndicate" to cooperate with the fight, modular firearms disguised as musical instruments, diving suits showing human oxygen levels, BMW cars unlocked by palm prints, triple biometric identification High-level artifacts such as data are excellent in assisting character actions, and I am afraid that they also exist in real society.
Beauty is an enduring gimmick of action movies by secret agents. The heroine of "Mission Impossible 5" is treated extremely well. Not to mention her beautiful legs, she also shows her valiant and heroic appearance, turning Tom's singles into mixed doubles. It's said that Tom's screen goddess is Bergman, and I guess Rebecca Ferguson got dipped in it. The other two beauties who played soy sauce were unlucky: Hermione Corfield "received a lunch box" before she amazed the audience; Zhang Jingchu probably offended the makeup artist, and her face is ugly and scary.
In terms of inheritance, "Mission: Impossible Theme Song" has been used for nearly 20 years, and it is still lingering in the beams. It can be called one of the signatures of the "Mission: Impossible" series of movies. In terms of innovation, in recent years, the amusing wind that has been blowing wildly has made "Mission Impossible 5" shake the burden, and the most cheap is the basic love. The British Prime Minister said affectionately that the "Hawkeye" hand is very warm, and the director who dares to love is broken. In one place, it seems that the reputation of Great Britain's "corrupt country" is well-known in the film and television circle! In addition, every time I hear the IMF, I naturally think of the International Monetary Fund. "Mission Impossible 5" should really replace the World Bank in the film with the IMF. Another highlight of the film is Alec Baldwin, who plays the CIA director. He once played CIA agent Jack Ryan in "The Hunt for Red October", and his participation in "Mission Impossible" is a return to the CIA.
Jack Ma recently praised Tommy as "not only handsome, but also very good at acting". Tomoe, who is over fifty years old, deserves his name. After 10 years of ups and downs in his career and family, Tom used "Mission Impossible 5" to set a new benchmark for action movies, proclaiming to fans that "Beautiful Soup" is still hot. As Tom's most important and well-known masterpiece after "Top Gun", the "Mission: Impossible" series of movies will continue, but this film far exceeds the audience's expectations. What about "Mission: Impossible 6"?
