"A movie can have a sequel 30 years after it was released, and the only people who can create such a miracle are Tom Cruise and his "Top Gun"."
"Top Gun" was released in 1986, and the realistic air battle scenes and a large number of advanced weapons and equipment appeared in the film, making the film one of the most impressive classic movies in Hollywood in the 1980s.
In the 1980s, the United States had just stepped out of the shadow of the Vietnam War, and the country was full of anti-war sentiments, which also made the military need to pass a movie to improve the image of the military in the minds of the people. The U.S. Navy spared no expense for the movie "Top Gun" Provided support, dispatched the main fighters of the US Navy at that time "F14 Tomcat" and "Carl Vinson" aircraft carriers, and even launched two missiles in the movie.
And "Top Gun" lived up to expectations and became the most successful recruitment propaganda film in military history. Although the film was not well-received at the time, it was very popular, and it won the highest box office of the year. Tom, who has recently debuted, became popular.
"Top Gun" tells the story of Medellin, an American navy pilot, who took his pilot father as an idol. He went down several times on the way, but finally rose up, soared into the blue sky, and became a flying elite. The story is so old-fashioned that it can't be more old-fashioned. It has nothing new. It takes the guise of a pilot's shell, and it is still a pair of pride and inspiration.
But the director took a different approach and used the identity of the protagonist pilot to shoot a large number of cool flying stunts and various shiny fighter planes, making the audience feast for the eyes. Those fighter jets chased each other, formed formations with each other, sometimes whizzed past, and sometimes floated for thousands of miles. The most commendable part of the film is the air battle scene, the classic leaping over the tower, the dog fighting in the air, and the shocking destruction scene. Every shot is perfect. It is hard to think that this is a work of the last century.
The naval pilots shown in the film are not fearless and invincible. Some of them are greedy for life and fear of death and give up flying. Gives a sense of authenticity. The film also intentionally expresses the delicate emotion between a non-commissioned officer and a teacher. Love, as the eternal motif, also adds tenderness and tenderness to the film, making the heaven and the world relaxed and gentle, with softness in the middle.
A theme song "takemybreathaway" is enduring. Not only won the 59th Academy Award for Best Original Song, but because the film was released in Hong Kong in the same year in 1986, this song has also spread widely in Hong Kong. This song appeared in the later "Tian Ruoyou Qing", and Lin Yilian sang a Cantonese version in turn, named it "Passion", which was used in "Mong Kok Carmen", which can be said to be a classic forever.
This year, "Top Gun 2" will be released. This sequel after a 30-year interval will awaken the youthful memories of countless people. When I watched "Top Gun", I was just a fledgling goose, and by the time the sequel was released, I might have been a middle-aged man with a dull twilight. When you are flattened by the pressure of life, don't forget to look back at Tom and remind yourself, always be Top Gun, always be TopGun.
