Movies like "Disc 3" are action movies. Although they are labeled as spy movies, they are actually only slightly suspenseful. They are not detective movies with interlocking clues that require a big show of reasoning. The plot of this movie is usually relatively simple. "Mission Impossible 3" is the kind of misleading the audience at first, so that the audience thinks that the evil character is a traitor, and finally reverses it. It turns out that the person who looks like a good person and helps the protagonist many times is the big boss behind the scenes. People who have seen this type of film a lot can probably guess it, but I didn't expect it, so I was a little surprised at the end.
Although the content of the story itself is not too complicated, the way of telling the story adds a suspenseful color, achieving the effect of making the audience confused at first, and then suddenly realized. It's actually just a simple flashback, but the selected part is very subtle and is the climax of the story: Irving gives Ethan the ten positive numbers, and it stops abruptly at the close, and starts the opening song, so that the audience can still Stayed in a state of high tension and panicked. This opening sets a dangerously tense tone for the whole film; in addition, this section contains two important pieces of information: the time bomb in the head, the rabbit's feet, which are all things that play an important role later in the film. In short, the film sets a series of questions at the beginning: Why is Ethan tied up at the beginning? Is that Julie really dead? What happened... Immediately aroused the audience's interest in continuing to watch the movie.
Movies are good at setting foreshadowing. In "Mission: Impossible 3", Ethan has a very powerful ability that is able to read lips. This helped him escape the IMF to Shanghai later in the film. In order to make this ability unobtrusive, the film shows Ethan's ability in the opening reception. Ethan is watching Julie chatting with her friends. At this time, the camera shows a close-up of the mouths of several women, but there is no voice in the picture. This is Ethan's subjective shot, he is watching what they are saying, When Julie couldn't answer her friend's question, Ethan added. Afraid that the audience might not notice this detail, the film asked Julie's sister to add a line later: "How did he hear it."
The same is true for camera processing. When Ethan escorted Owen back to the IMF when he passed a bridge across the river, he gave a panoramic view. It was very imposing. driving. In fact, this is a foreshadowing, explaining the environment at that time, in order to show the scene of the helicopter missile bombing the bridge later. Also, when Ethan entered a private house in Shanghai, the camera stopped for a while in the background behind him—the three skyscrapers behind the window were the same three buildings that Ethan jumped when he stole the rabbit’s feet.
The best thing about "Mission: Impossible 3" is the choreography of its mission after mission. The story of "Mission Impossible 3" is very simple, the whole plot is a series of tasks strung together: first rescue Lindsay, then kidnap Owen, prevent Owen from escaping, then steal the rabbit's feet, and finally the final showdown, "Dangdangdangdang Dangdang, You win!", congratulations to Ethan for successfully rescuing Julie, it's like a game of red and white machines. These tasks have different levels of difficulty, but they are refurbished. Helicopter chases, disguise and face changing, high-rise "swings", low-altitude skydiving, and racing cars; full firepower, bombing cars, bridges, and planes, and flaming mushroom clouds burst; life and death speed , every time there are strict requirements for time, so the rhythm of the film is very fast, and Ethan can be seen running in the whole film, especially when he is going to save Julie; the biggest feature is that the film increases the number of team members The role in the mission is not like the first two teammates are basically waiting for Ethan. The cooperation among the team members also increases the complexity and excitement of the task, and is no longer limited to showing Ethan's ability beyond ordinary people.
I think the best mission in the film is the kidnapping of Owen, which is very cleverly planned. Cross editing, the four people have a clear division of labor and help each other. And in the beginning, the audience didn't even know what they were going to do, which was brilliant. What attracts attention is their constant change of clothes and the process of changing their faces. Face-changing is a feature of the "Mission: Impossible" series, but only the third film has refined the face-changing technology and showed it in a similar way. When watching it, it is very amazing. This is also an old thing made a new idea.
There is also a compliment that the design of each mission is twists and turns, so it is more exciting. Like when Irving was kidnapped in the toilet, Irving's bodyguard came in to check before Ethan could move him away. In a hurry, Declan could only hold Irving and hide behind the toilet door, thinking that he could deceive the bodyguard. , but Luther said that the voice has not been uploaded successfully, and Ethan had to pretend to cough and wait for the voice to be uploaded. When Ethan coughed, the audience's heart was about to be coughed out. And when he jumped from a skyscraper in Shanghai, Ethan crashed into an office, just as the audience's heart dropped, the parachute pulled Ethan out again and continued to fall.
Watching Ethan go through five obstacles and six generals all the way, the mood is also ups and downs, but the previous tasks are handled too wonderfully, but the final duel is a bit simple and mediocre. It stands to reason that the climax should be more amazing.
Last but not least, I've watched three "Mission Impossible" movies, each of which is a battle between Ethan and an evil villain, but if you put it another way, it's all about Ethan and a woman. thing! Ethan wears the aura of the protagonist, and the hero always needs beauty to match. The first heroine belongs to the femme fatale, or the wife of a colleague. The first story is that a colleague sent his wife to trick Ethan into taking the blame. The second heroine is the image of a saint with ideal color and sacrifice spirit under John Woo's lens. This time it is the villain's ex-girlfriend. The story is that Ethan teamed up with his girlfriend to hunt down his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend. The third heroine is relatively ordinary and has no special background. The story is that Ethan, as an agent, has a normal family that is always more difficult than ordinary people. His wife was captured by the villain because he was implicated in him, but Ethan eventually protected his wife. But what's unusual about the third installment is that it also has two female characters, female disciple Lindsay and female teammate Jane. It all started with Lindsay's disappearance. Although the plot set Ethan and Lindsay as teachers and students, Luthor kept asking whether Ethan ever slept with Lindsay. The setting of Jane and Ethan is also a simple comrade-in-arms relationship, but what happened to the affectionate gaze between the two after Ethan rescued Jane on the plane, is it because I am too evil? Anyway, Jane flirted with Ethan, disguised as Owen. Tom's halo is destined to be unwilling to let go of the opposite sex in the play, it's really fragrant.
After all, it’s Hollywood. Female characters always have to fall in love with male protagonists, and they always have to be erotic, so as to satisfy male YY when watching movies. But what I can't stand is Li Meiqi's red dress that is going to disappear everywhere. That dress is really unbeautiful. The producer's request to the costume designer must be "easy to disappear", and it turned out as expected. . I deeply feel the evil in the adult world, can you not be so low-level, can you not go out for the sake of disappearing, you can even blow up a car, and the heroine doesn't reveal anything when making love. To put it bluntly, it is bullying Asian actresses. A heroic film in the name of justice and love, it is hypocritical and shameful to let the actress disappear at such a low level. Originally, I really liked this movie, so I watched it a second time. Who knows that the truth is always cruel.
