Mission Impossible 7: Fatal Liquidation (I): The Return of Selected Workers
Special feature of 1905 film network Recently, it was finally released in China! After six years, a new work was launched!
There are "four curses" in Hollywood blockbusters, which means that when the fourth film in the series is filmed, it often falls into the double "street" of word-of-mouth box office, and the sequels after it are difficult to re-shape, and it is even more difficult to counterattack. However, the series started from the first part in 1996, and after 27 years, it regained the reputation of "the best series" in the seventh part. Tom cruise is 61 years old this year. No matter the age of the starring role or the progress of the series of blockbusters, Mission Impossible 7: Fatal Liquidation (I) is a wonderful work.
Unlike James Bond’s playboy image in James Bond series and Jason Bonn’s journey to find himself, Ethan Hunt, the hero of Mission Impossible, is definitely a "chosen bad karma worker" among the three Hollywood spy films.
Natural selection Impossible task
1.Task carrier
The first bullet of Ethan Hunt’s "Selected bad karma Workers": Boss, this task can’t be completed at all!
Since the first movie Mission Impossible in 1996, Ethan has a special carrier every time he accepts a task. For example, sitting on the plane and pretending to choose a movie to watch is actually a task assigned by the superior. At the end of each arrangement, there will be a sentence "After five seconds, this carrier will be destroyed". The carrier of Mission Impossible 7 is express delivery and records. When Ethan went to the record store, the record he played was also conveying his mission, and after that, he smoked a lot.
2."trouble guy"
Such a wonderful and mysterious task arrangement mode can last for 27 years, which is enough for the audience to see the essence of the task.
This is also a common technique in Hollywood genre films, giving the protagonist an "impossible task", which is called "troublesome guy" in 10 types of plays in Save the Cat.
3.The Chosen One
Jason’s team’s process of performing special tasks combines several types, such as thief films, grand theft auto films and professional killer films, and mixes the identity of state agents. Especially in the early films of Mission Impossible, Ethan needs to go to an extremely strict management environment to steal the specified items every time. In the process of "trouble guy" constantly solving "trouble", it is almost impossible for the set difficulties and obstacles to be served by human resources, but Jason did it.
Ethan, who always needs to complete the "impossible task", is worthy of the word "natural selection".
cruel fate An anonymous back-pot man
1.Compilation? Compile!
Ethan Hunt’s Second Bomb of "Natural Choice of bad karma Workers": If you win, please be silent; if you lose, please take the blame.
James Bond’s code name "007" originally represents a kind of government recognition, which is equivalent to working for the authority behind it. Even though Ethan has reached the seventh movie, he is still ready to be the anonymous "back-pot man" like a temporary worker in bad karma.
Xiaobian has something to say: If the end of the universe is compilation, then Ethan obviously hasn’t touched the true meaning of this layer.
2.Superior? Irresponsible!
There is both cooperation and separation between the leading group of Mission Impossible and the state institutions. The state commandeered Ethan to do things, but once something goes wrong, the state will not be responsible. This is like the daily life of some people in the workplace. Unreliable bosses are only responsible for arranging dangerous tasks, will not provide any protection on their own initiative, and even get used to shirking their responsibilities. Although compared with personal heroism "007" and "Bourne ultimatum", "Mission Impossible" is already a team battle, but for the relationship between the leading group and state power, they are still lonely heroes who go to the meeting alone.
The "mission impossible" in the previous article, plus the "irresponsible superior" now, who read it without saying that it’s too bad? Is there an agent who is more miserable than Ethan?
have a part-time job Extreme movement of department renovation
1.Task carrier
The third bomb of Ethan Hunt’s "Natural Choice of bad karma Workers": an old horse crouching, aiming at skydiving.
Mission Impossible, as a spy movie, the audience not only cares about the brand-new plot setting, but also cares about the visual impact brought by every difficult extreme sport. Running, car chasing and extreme sports are the three eye-catching treasures of Mission Impossible series, and the biggest stunt is that Tom will challenge a brand-new extreme sports in every new work. Despite his growing age, Tom’s action scenes have not been weakened. On the one hand, he has maintained the original tension and excitement, on the other hand, he has given consideration to technology and innovation.
2.Extreme sport
There is the extreme skydiving action of high opening and low jumping, and the cliff skydiving of Mission Impossible 7 also hangs the appetite of the audience. The scene of jumping over the cliff alone was filmed six times.
Xiao Bian guessed that every time Tom challenged the limit, apart from the director’s nervousness, the insurance company collapsed.
Extreme sports is a consistent selling point of Mission Impossible series. In Mission Impossible in 1996, there was a scene of hanging a "dish" at high altitude in a heavily guarded space, and not a drop of sweat could fall, because once the temperature change was monitored on the ground, an alarm would be given. Since then, there have been classic clips of the Bank of China Building, such as swinging, unarmed plane scraping and helicopter chasing, which have given the audience visual shock from plot design, ergonomics, screen impact and other aspects.
3.Pay for sincerity
As the leading actor in the action movie, Tom’s main theme is "no body double, no special effects", and he went into battle all by himself. In order to pursue the helicopter, Tom even got a helicopter driver’s license. For innovative extreme sports and bloody hand-to-hand combat scenes, the audience of Mission Impossible 7 once again paid for Tom’s sincerity.
At the age of 60, China culture has been a pleasant year. Tom is still diligently challenging the limits and doing his duty as a "migrant worker" in the line of life and death. Too hard, Tom!
Both James Bond, which came to an end last year, and Bourne ultimatum, which ended as early as 2016, seem to imply that spy movies are out of date. However, "Mission Impossible 7" speaks with strength, and today, with the superhero theme flooding the market, it has set off a trend of retro action movies.
Superheroes are great, but it is difficult for the audience to feel substituted. The audience likes a certain character and needs to find the echo with themselves. The setting of "bad karma workers are chosen by nature" will make everyone feel empathetic, and through Jason’s struggle, it will give every struggling office worker a little valuable spiritual encouragement. Life is hard, but at least we are in the prime of life, and we don’t have to jump the train … …
Let’s walk into the cinema together and learn Tom’s magic weapon of "working"!
