I haven't written a movie review in a long time, not because I haven't watched the movie, but because there is no movie worthy of my review. A few days ago, I saw one, and I was deeply moved. Finally, I have a strong motivation to write film reviews. So, here I am. The movie stars a familiar face, Liam Neeson. The name of the movie is "Rapid Catastrophe."
Spielberg's adapted classic "Schindler's List", the year's Oscar best picture, black and white film, starring Liam Neeson, was a great success. And later, "Star Wars", "Gangs of New York" and "Hurricane Rescue". They are all memorable movies. These are like a strong smell. As time goes by, not only will it not reduce the sensitivity of its sense of smell, but it will become more fragrant.
Why?
It's simple because it's fun. The degree of recognition of a movie is due to the actors' credit. The careful planning of the screenwriter and director is inseparable from the superb interpretation of the actors. As a veteran movie fan, Liam Neeson can get my approval and can get my lifelong love, just like Leonardo, Denzel Washington, Jason Statham, Nicolas Cage, and others. These people who live together on this planet have exchanged my love for them through movies. It's not easy, but it's a cool and interesting thing.
The movie "Rapid Calamity" tells the story of the air police and gangsters chasing and fighting on the plane. At this point in time, there is always a strange feeling. I can always think of the missing Malaysia Airlines passenger plane and the US 911. It belongs to the theme of air disasters. One is a movie, and the other is a bloody horror case in reality. Under the staggered two sides, it is especially thrilling.
I saw a middle-aged American police officer who was frustrated in his life and had hit a wall everywhere from the first second of the film. the car radio, the security of the plane is described as a cool job; you can fly around every day; you can sit in first class every day; the most important thing is that these are all free; they are useless waste of taxpayers' money. The job seems like a great job, but our protagonist is suffering.
Life is a mess; no wife, no children, from this police station to that police station, being chased around like a stray dog. This rambling, aimless life combined with such a job is simply not recognized by the American public. Will he be able to perform his duties well if there is an accident on the plane? Will he do his job well? The news broadcast said that the US Air Force can go straight through the cordon without any inspection and enjoy various privileges that ordinary citizens do not have. It is also a privilege to sit in first class every day.
In this case, there are three alternatives. One is to smuggle drugs by virtue of positional privileges, and the other is to pass laws without breaking the law or enforcing the law, and the salary is also generous. The three types are Liam Neeson's, who are dutiful in any state. In the eyes of the American public, since 9/11, what kind of air police have been added to passenger planes?
From the beginning to the end of the film, from the reactions of passengers on the passenger plane, from the reactions of the public on radio and television, and in terms of the high degree of freedom of the existing American media, I can see that the first and second types are mostly, and the third type is the most common. It is nearly extinct. Most American people do not trust the air police at all, and feel that the air police are simply unreliable when disaster strikes.
Well... under this premise, the birth of this movie is interesting. You think it's unreliable, right? Then I'll make a reliable movie for you to watch! In the film's environment, the director and screenwriter tried their best to exaggerate the American people's resistance to the air police. The story line of the protagonist tries to exaggerate the downfall of a middle-aged policeman by drinking alcohol before boarding, smoking after boarding, and frowning and wrinkling.
These dark side depictions provide an excellent background for the protagonist's rare positive luminous points. From the moment he entered the airport waiting hall, the protagonist's professional police qualities broke out in an all-round way. He observed all kinds of people coming and going. He helped the little girl pick up the little puppet that was in the waiting room. In front of the little girl who the flight attendant couldn't handle, he smiled from the bottom of his heart. I felt that the sky was bright. A face that has been frowning smiles so warmly.
Later, he received inexplicable information, and his professional case-solving ability became more and more vivid. From the death of his colleague, to the captain, to the innocent passengers, he tracked him all the way, and was played around by two gangsters. In the end, he was still in a vacuum state at the moment when the passenger plane fell to an altitude of 8,000 feet and the flight was stable. Holding the gun floating in the air in both hands, it hit the forehead with one shot and killed the gangster.
All along the way, accompanied by all kinds of hide-and-seek, all kinds of suspicions, all kinds of misunderstandings, all kinds of confusion, and later the big explosion of the tail of the plane, it was really thrilling, and I couldn't take my eyes off it and enjoy it!
In fact, hide-and-seek, suspicion, misunderstanding, and confusion are all very interesting things. This is the kind of thing that human beings have developed so far, engraved in their bones, and considered interesting. When the director puts it in the movie, then the movie will become a very interesting movie, and the possibility of it being remembered will be very high.
This reminds me of the same air problem as "Crash Landing," starring Denzel Washington. Just as interesting, a great movie. When I have time, I will write a review for it. Let's talk about the wonderful handling of details in "Rapid Catastrophe".
1. Less than four minutes into the movie, our two hidden gangsters show their faces. Sven, the teacher with eyes and a black vest tattoo programmer. At first, the protagonist and the black vest had a conflict when they went through the security check. When the heroine, who was assigned the wrong seat, asked to change her seat, the black vest looked at the protagonist, who had blocked the way twice, with disgust in her eyes. He didn't want to sit with an annoying person during the six-hour journey. So I happily changed seats with the heroine. interesting.
2. After the protagonist boards the plane, enter the bathroom, first stick the smoke alarm with the tape prepared in advance, and then put the cigarettes, lighters, and pistols on the platform one by one. Then he sat down, took the cigarette and lighter, revealed the badge underneath, and started smoking.
When I see him taping the smoke alarm, I wonder what he's doing in the bathroom. When I saw his cigarette and lighter, I finally determined that he was going to illegally smoke in the bathroom. When I saw his pistol, I wondered what kind of person this guy was who went through security with a pistol on him. When I saw that he took cigarettes and lighters and revealed the badge of the US Air Force Police below, I suddenly realized that he was the Air Force! This is a kind of sequence, which is a set sequence based on the natural curiosity of human beings. This is the kind of awesome footage that only foreigners can shoot. It successfully whetted my appetite, and I really want to see what interesting things will happen to this old air police fritter.
3. In the middle of the night, the plane was flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet at a speed of 500 miles per hour. When the protagonist was yawning sleepily, the mobile phone received the first inexplicable message: Are you ready to make your accusations, air police?
A passenger plane with 150 passengers, one first class and one economy class, is a place that is big or small, and it is like a cat-and-mouse hide-and-seek, starting from not being able to see each other's mobile phone information! I can't resist this curiosity!
4. Gangster provocation, suspicion and misunderstanding among colleagues, and close quarters fighting in the cramped bathroom.The first dead person 20 minutes later was actually born in the hands of the protagonist himself. We must pay homage to the gangster here!Admire the layout master!
5. After the death of the second captain, the protagonist's professional police qualities explode! started to suspect all kinds of people, including the heroine on the side and the only supporting actress who can enter the cockpit. The character setting should be like this. In such a confusing situation, no one can believe it. The only one who can believe it is you. This is a paranoid neuroticism, and only this neuroticism can investigate suspicious people one by one and find the gangsters hiding in the dark. I think if I were the protagonist, I would be suspicious of everyone! This is only reasonable. Light up and shine on the dark sky. This is what each of us can see at night when we look up. Only in the dark sky can you see a little light. I think this is the physical truth of the universe and the physical truth of the human heart. All the dark sides deliberately rendered by the director prepared the sky for the light of the protagonist. So, I saw it. How about you? Finally, I would like to express my condolences to those who have been killed in air crashes over the years. May the dead rest in peace and the living work hard. To live is the most important thing.
