In the last Mission: Impossible movie, the high-tech gadgets owned by the IMF were undoubtedly the biggest bright spot, but in Mission: Impossible 5, the director did not apply the successful experience of the previous one and continued to conquer with dazzling props The audience, on the contrary, the technological component has been diluted in this film, and the focus is on the actors, which gives them more room to play. So Simon Pegg, Tom Tom's stable performance, and Rebecca Ferguson's impressive performance largely ensured the quality of the film.
Tom is not only responsible for the appearance of the whole movie, but also the core character of the "Mission: Impossible" series. In recent years, after he became a producer, he presented many thrilling scenes for the "Mission: Impossible" series ( Real shots), and in this one, there are the most thrilling scenes, from laying on the plane with bare hands to diving for a long time without oxygen, they challenge their own limits every time, and every time they make the audience tense. Not only that, in this "Mission Impossible" Tom also left a lot of jokes for the audience, and his cooperation with Simon Pegg is a highlight of the film.
"The iron-struck Atang, the flowing team members." This iron law does not apply to Simon Pegg. Simon Pegg has not only been a part of the IMF team since the third film debuted, but his role has continued to grow. To the fifth, he became the second male lead. His charm is that he can use various methods to make you laugh, and the laughter is laid out very naturally, without any deliberate traces.
Rebecca Ferguson is the biggest surprise of the movie. The major media are full of praise for her acting skills, and she has not lived up to so many praises. Rebecca Ferguson's role in the film is special, she's not a member of the IMF in the previous "Mission: Impossible" movies. She first appeared as a villain, but her identity became a mystery when she rescued Tom and the fire several times. The plasticity of this character is great, because she is a character with an uncertain position in the whole film, that is to say, she is the character responsible for setting off smoke bombs for the audience, and whether the audience can follow the film largely depends on her 's performance. One second she fought side by side with Tom, and the next second she became the villain's minions. The conversion of the two identities needs to show different states, and we can see her decisiveness when she was in the cell with Tom. You can also see her calmness when confronting the villain. When her true identity is revealed, she can also show another state. Before that, she was an incomprehensible woman, and after this, she was a woman who was suffering in her heart. If you carefully observe her expression and the speed and stress of her speech, you can experience the character's inner state and inner changes. Compared with her handling of the characters, the wonderful fighting scenes she dedicates are different. The biggest feature is that it makes full use of the lightness of the body and shows the beauty of women.
Although Sean Harris, who plays the villain, has not many roles, he can still leave a deep impression on the audience. The villain he portrays is expressionless and unhappy. Exuding a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, after the plan was destroyed, although there was not much reaction, we could also feel his anger at that time from his gnashing of teeth.
It is these lively characters that make this movie a stagnant pool
of hot scenes that can not continue to capture the hearts of the audience. To do this, you must constantly create tension. This time, Tom's unarmed plane is better than climbing the Burj Khalifa in terms of thrill and difficulty of shooting, but the Burj Khalifa can make the audience more nervous. Climbing the Burj Khalifa is a process, first the gecko gloves look good and everything looks normal, then a malfunction heralds the arrival of danger. The final complete failure gave the audience a severe blow. First, it was foreshadowing and finally the release. Coupled with the cooperation of multiple shooting angles and lenses, it successfully captured the hearts of the audience, but the plane could not do this because of the shooting conditions. restrictions, can not freely pave the way. It's a very unfortunate part of making the whole process layerless.
When it comes to the deep dive scene in one mirror, it makes up for this regret. The film did "special treatment" to the scenes of this part. There is no soundtrack in this section, instead it is a slow heartbeat (Atango's heartbeat) and the rapid sound of the instrument, and throughout, as the situation becomes critical, the frequency is getting faster and faster. When there is a lack of oxygen, it naturally cuts to the first-person vision. After Tom let go, there was no sound at all for about two seconds. At this time, the audience's emotions were completely mobilized. Afterwards, Rebecca quickly swam into the audience's field of vision from the left side of the screen and hugged Tom.
It can be said that the film is "new" or it can be said that it is "old". There are a lot of tribute shots in the film, and the elements of not only the entire "Mission: Impossible" series, but also many old films of the 60s and 70s can be found in the film. But unfortunately, I didn't see the director's own characteristics.
Every time "Mission Impossible" takes a different director, which makes the style of each work different, at least we can find the shadow of the director at that time. But I don't see Christopher McQuarrie at all. His last work "Jack Reacher" and "Mission: Impossible 5" are a thousand miles away. When the director was initially announced, I was worried that Mission: Impossible 5 would be dragged into the rhythm of Jack Reacher. In the end, my fears didn't materialize, but I didn't expect the style to switch so cleanly. At the same time, none of the five "Mission: Impossible" films have found a specific symbol, which is very dangerous.
Hearing the line "My name is Bond. James Bond", we can quickly react that this is a "007" movie, although the director changes again and again, Bond girls, fine wine, and suits are all "007" movies. indispensable element. The only thing in the "Mission: Impossible" series that can be called a "sign" is probably only Tom. When Tom Tom retires, where will "Mission Impossible" go?
"Mission Impossible 5" is a successful commercial film, but the reaction of foreign media also seems a bit extreme. It's worth the ticket price, but it's too tender to be comparable to "007".
