Chapter 266: Classic Secret Service Film

"Here we go!"

Fernand has watched "Byrne Trilogy" for many years, and it can be said that he is a die-hard book fan, and when he saw the titles of Embassy Pictures and Shahai Entertainment appearing on the big screen, he hurriedly concentrated his energy.

Book lovers have been looking forward to the release of "Spy Shadow" for the past month, which is one of the best ways to honor the author.

"I would like to commemorate this film in honor of Robert Ludlum, the father of modern political thrillers. ”

The words that appeared in the trailer were once again marked on the big screen with a separate frame, much to the satisfaction of book fans.

Ordinary fans also think this way is good.

Lal is a little cop who changed shifts with his colleagues in order to watch tonight's premiere.

In the first two rows of the theater, several older film critics, such as Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times and Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter, are also nodding their heads, and Ronan Anderson, a young man who is very good at doing things and knows how to respect his predecessors.

The film begins with a tribute.

Now those young people, all of them have eyes on their foreheads, and they don't want to think about it, if it weren't for the struggle and efforts of the older generation, Hollywood would have the current situation?

The film soon begins in earnest, and the camera comes to a vast ocean, with an object that looks like a human figure floating on the sea.

This is the protagonist of the film - Bourne.

When a fishing boat in the same area finds Bourne and rescues him, Bourne realizes that he doesn't remember anything, not even who he is.

Because of this, when Bourne stepped on the port of the dock, all the mysteries had to be solved by Bourne himself, why he was shot twice and drifted on the sea, and the truth would be revealed as everything became clear.

Byrne, who had lost his memory, was a little confused, but his instinct as a secret agent helped Bourne sort it out.

Later, he met a strange woman, Mary, whose appearance played a crucial role in Bourne's life, and Mary was born and died like Bourne.

Unlike Byrne, Mary, through her own womanly nature, may not need the "agent action plan" that Byrne has drawn up for herself, and she can help Byrne get the information he wants.

As the film progresses, why Bourne is floating on the ocean, what is Bourne's identity, and who Bourne is, these mysteries can only be answered by Bourne himself.

This is a very different film from previous spy films, but it follows the characteristics common to great movies, such as tight cuts, captivating suspense and charming protagonists, all of which make people feel a fresh thrill.

There are also action shots, which are shot so sharply, so realistic, and Bourne's several shots, clean and neat, are almost like real ones......

Lahr was just a fan of the movie, but he didn't realize that these were the result of Paul Greengrass's unique editing and shooting style.

Fernando didn't realize this either, but he saw that the film was adapted to a very large extent compared to it, and even the main story line was about to deviate from the original book.

However, neither he nor the other members of the book lovers' association around him expressed dissatisfaction because the movie was so well made.

Because the movie is more intuitive and exciting!

In the description, there are also depictions of Byrne's battles, as well as depictions of these professional agents who can pick up everyday objects and use them as weapons.

But looking at the text description, where is Matt Damon in the film who is holding things in his hand and scaring people?

Resident agents in Rome, Hamburg, and Barcelona were summoned with one goal in mind - to kill Bourne.

When the Professor appears, the two super agents show what it takes to be a smarter and wiser killer.

In a battle of wits in the wilderness, the audience once again saw how brave the battle of wits and courage of agents without any special effects was there.

It's completely different from the style that relies on high-tech equipment, but it is in line with the usual pattern of Hollywood commercial films.

It can not only make the audience rush to freshness, but also not beyond the audience's appreciation.

The sniper-skilled professor had already cut off any communication system at Bourne's residence, and when Bourne realized the seriousness of the problem, Mary's panic did not interfere with him in the slightest.

At this moment, he is separated from Mary, and Mary's life is guaranteed, and how to better protect Mary's life is the instinct of an agent at this moment.

Make a car explode, and the smoke can completely block the sniper from the vantage point sniper in the room.

In this first fight, the professor cut off Bourne's way of connecting with the outside world, and Bourne responded with a beautiful defense.

Then he moved to the jungle, in a low bush, where the professor was hidden.

Bourne fired a gun into the sky, and at first many viewers were puzzled by Bourne's move, but when the flock of birds in the bushes flew up, everything had an answer.

It was this "fatal shot" that allowed Bourne to catch the professor in the shadows.

It was at this time that the professor asked Bourne in the simplest way - a headache and a fear of light.

Everyone is actually the same.

It seems that killing the professor is a victory, but Bourne, as an agent, is exactly what the professor describes.

The whole battle was not intense, and there were only two people directly involved, and there were not even any special effects rendering, but it made all the audience adrenaline soar and watched extremely nervous.

"Back to basics!" Kenneth Turan couldn't help but admire: "I haven't had such a good spy movie for many years." ”

Todd McCarthy next to him agreed: "Handheld shooting, action design, plot expression, character building, and lens shooting are all the best choices." ”

He said directly: "If you don't look at the end, I will give him more than 80 points of praise!"

Kenneth Turan nodded slowly, seeming to agree with his old friend.

It's been a long time since I've seen such an appealing commercial movie.

Matt Damon's actor is really good, I heard that this is the candidate set by producer Ronan Anderson? This young producer has a really good vision, it seems that when choosing actors and directors, he can always choose the right one.

Kenneth Turan had a very general impression of Matt Damon before, first, he was not beautiful, and second, he was featureless.

But in this film, people can see very good acting skills and shaping ability - to the extreme performance of the only remaining seven emotions and six desires of the muscular man in the commercial film!

You must know that commercial films generally only need to be fist-to-flesh, and do not need acting skills or the complex heart of the protagonist, as long as they roar or cry when necessary......

Anyway, the complexity of a frustrated person is expressed thoroughly. The action scenes are clean and dripping, and there are no common roars and shouts. Everything begins quietly and ends quietly.

Ordinary audiences find it enjoyable, and film critics think that it is not as impetuous as other commercial films, and the foundation of word-of-mouth has been laid.

The final climactic scene was so exciting, many viewers were nervous and almost held their breath.

At the moment when the CIA agent rushed up the spiral staircase with a submachine gun, Bourne jumped from the roof of the building with a pistol and used the fattest corpse as a cover, shooting the killer who was rushing up the stairs in midair.

Later, he relied on the corpse as a cushion to the ground, so that his life was not in danger, and in doing so, Bourne himself suffered multiple injuries all over his body.

This realistic method of warfare is obviously very different from previous spy films.

In the alley outside the building, the killer of Conklin's boss Albert is loaded and ready to take place.

The camera keeps showing Bourne staggering out of the alley, which makes people feel nervous, thinking that Bourne may be in danger of his life.

But as the camera turned, it was Conklin, who stumbled, walked out, and was shot three times by the gunman who had been waiting for a long time. This kind of relaxed narrative greatly mobilizes the audience's participation and has good results.

The 120 minutes, with little to no special effects rendering, came to an end just after Conklin was killed.

Byrne's life and death seem to be less important at this moment, but is that the case? Apparently not.

Because there are still too many questions left unanswered.

The death of Conklin, who seems to be behind everything, is an end, rather a collapse of the "stone-stepping plan".

This is just one case of the CIA's failure, and a much larger culprit came into being......

The later plot has begun to pave the way for the sequel, and the not-so-flashy agent operation seems to have come to an end, and Byrne has also reunited with Mary, who has a shop by the sea.

seems to be a relatively happy ending, but it is obvious that the plot of the next part has been extended.

Because it couldn't be more obvious - Bourne returned to his lover, but Bourne's memories were clearly not found, or rather not fully returned to Bourne.

Bourne's identity is an agent, but what is Bourne's real identity?

There is nothing conclusive about this movie, the only conclusion is that Bourne is an agent of the CIA.

As long as anyone who is familiar with the Hollywood movie routine, you can see that the sweet time of Bourne, who escaped the catastrophe, will definitely not be too long.

While the film is not over, Todd McCarthy quickly summed up "Spy" in his mind.

First of all, the plot is exciting, the plot design is reasonable, and it is absolutely first-class in commercial films, full of elements that mobilize the audience's enthusiasm for thinking.

Secondly, the rhythm and shooting skills are used reasonably and appropriately, and there are Zhang and Chi, all under control!

Then, the actor performs professionally. In addition to emotions, emotions, and character traits, the strength and IQ of agents and spies are particularly good, which are very attractive!

At the end of the film, the applause was thunderous, I don't know who stood up first, and drove the people around to stand up, and then the audience stood up one after another, sending the warmest applause to this wonderful film.

is rare, for the adaptation of this film, even the hardcore fans of "The Identity of Bourne" do not have any dissatisfaction.

Fernando thinks that this film not only did not ruin this classic agent, but it made every nerve in the whole body feel refreshed.

The applause lasted for a long time, and Tom Cruise reminded: "Ronan, bring someone up for the curtain call." ”

After all, Ronan had no experience in this area, so he hurriedly beckoned the main creators of the crew to come to the stage in front of the screen for a curtain call.
