"Fast and Furious 10", "Raiders of the Lost Ark 5", "Transformers: The Rise of the Warriors", "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" and other Hollywood series of action films, "Mission Impossible 7: Deadly Reckoning (Part 1)" (hereinafter referred to as "Mission Impossible 7") has also been released.
Like the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Fast and the Furious" series, the "Mission: Impossible" series is also a long-lived series.
From filming in 1996 to the present, nearly 30 years have passed, no matter how the direction of film creation changes, what remains unchanged is Tom Cruise's "death" action scenes in every film.
, as the "chosen to beat workers hard" in the movie is also the "ceiling of the secret service industry". Agent Ethan's "Mission Impossible" is full of thrills every time.
"Mission: Impossible 7" is the same.
In "Mission: Impossible 6", Tom Cruise drives a helicopter and crashes into a truck, flies and jumps from high-rise buildings, rock climbing with his bare hands and other wonderful action scenes, which make the audience feel terrified and fresh in their memories.
The new movie "Mission: Impossible 7" returns with more interesting action scenes. The 60-year-old Tom Cruise has not lost his style, and he still goes to the sky and goes to the ground, fighting hand-to-hand.
The main storyline of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 5", which was released recently, is that the pros and villains snatch the two "turntables" that are divided into two, in order to control the direction of time and history.
"Mission Impossible 7" is to snatch two keys that can be used together to control the artificial intelligence "smart body". Interestingly, the "intelligent body" has become so powerful that it can hack into major intelligence organizations to steal information, tamper with any data information, and sink submarines through data warfare, etc., but it is a "diamond-studded" classical key that controls its source code.
In order to get the key divided into two, various intelligence agencies rushed to attack. Agent Ethan, who was hunted down by the whole world, also led the team to start the global key snatching and escape mode.
"Mission: Impossible 7" has all the action scenes that should be there, such as airport network spy battles, high-speed racing on the streets of Rome, vast desert forests of bullets and guns, cliff flying motorcycles are thrilling, close hand-to-hand combat in narrow alleys is neat and beautiful, and train battles make people hold their breath. The film is still the most thrilling and exciting in terms of action scenes. The background image of
traverses from the sky full of yellow sand to the streets and alleys of the water city of Venice, from the vast snow-capped mountains of Norway to the classical city of Rome, etc., and the diverse visual effects are still well done.
The classic action scenes in the "Mission: Impossible" series are not only thrilling, but also thrilling with twists and turns.
For example, in the movie, Tom Cruise climbed the Parkour Tower of Burj Khalifa with his bare hands. It was not just as simple as daring to climb, but in the first few steps, a suction glove broke. After finding the target and cutting the glass, he fell down again.
Whether it's rock climbing with bare hands, high-rise swings, or motorcycle chases, they all focus on thrills and thrills. For example, jumping from a high-rise building is thrilling in itself, and jumping on the road requires a thrilling action scene to avoid car accidents.
Several action scenes in "Mission: Impossible 7" were filmed with twists and turns. The street car chase has a strong comedy color, which is thrilling and interesting;
"Mission: Impossible" series is a long-lived action blockbuster, which really allows the audience to experience what is thrilling and exciting. Tom Cruise has insisted on "not using a double" for many years, and many audiences are willing to pay for his persistence and sincerity.
Although "Mission: Impossible 7" is the upper part of the story, the key snatching battle is only half told, but it is still rich in highlights, with solid fighting action scenes.
This film has a much higher reputation than "Fast and Furious 10", which is out of shape, but it is also an imported blockbuster. "Mission: Impossible 7" may not be able to reach the former's box office performance of 980 million yuan. "Mission: Impossible 7" currently has a box office of 200 million yuan in 4 days, and the total box office in the mainland is predicted to be 450 million yuan. In 2018, the box office of the imported film "Mission: Impossible 6" was 1.245 billion yuan. As the "No. 1 Dedicated Model Worker", Tom Cruise also failed to make Hollywood's super blockbuster hit the box office.
Motorcycle chases, cliffhangers, high-rise swings, skydiving, unarmed airplanes, and hand-to-hand combat are the standard features of the "Mission: Impossible" series. Compared with sci-fi superheroes with a variety of attacks and omnipotence, Tom Cruise's "flesh" action scenes are more like old-school craftsmen insisting on their special skills.
But for domestic audiences, no matter whether it is a sci-fi superhero or an agent hero, no matter how exciting and cool an action movie is, it is no longer a "spiritual refuge" for everyone.
In a world where artificial intelligence is out of control, the heroic narrative of snatching the key to save all mankind is still a story mode based on the thinking of Hollywood blockbusters. No matter how passionate and rekindled the heroic narrative is, it is difficult to establish an emotional connection with the current audience.
From the box office hit of "The Missing She", it can be seen that what more audiences need is the connection between the story and individual experience, even if it is a superficial connection with extremely outdated values. Super British blockbusters cannot be accurately edited into small videos to feed the audience's emotional demands, and viral marketing cannot become the "currency" to open up social topics.
can become a blockbuster movie at the moment, in addition to understanding the emotions of the audience, it is a work that can create an internal cultural and emotional connection with the audience, or can reflect the real dilemma. Hollywood hero blockbusters where the dilemma of individual destiny is not the narrative theme will appear "fake and empty", flashy, unattractive, and it is inevitable to be left out.
