I would like to thank my generous friends for their rewards and your recommendation. Your recognition of my knowledge has always been the motivation for me to persevere. Thank you very much!
Broadly speaking, The best action movie in the world is Nolan's "The Dark Knight Trilogy". In the broad field, it includes "Let the Bullets Fly", "The Matrix", and "Memories of Murder" , "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Braveheart" and other films are all action movies.
But in the subdivision, or in the field division that is more in line with the content of the movie, "The Dark Knight III" belongs to the superhero movie, "The Matrix" belongs to the science fiction film, "Pirates of the Caribbean" belongs to the fantasy film, and "Brave" "Heart" is a historical film, "Memories of Murder" is a suspense film...
Therefore, in the segmented field, the best action film in the world is none other than "The Bourne Series", but it is more accurate It is said to be the best and most stunning spy film and the best spy film in the world. Like " Sicario ", has expanded the breadth and depth of spy films. It is an extremely stunning action film and the pioneer of action films in the documentary field.
Say that "The Bourne Supremacy" is the best and most amazing spy and spy film in the world. Who agrees? Who objects?
"The Bourne Series" is mainly adapted from Robert Ludlum's novel of the same name. The first part was filmed in 2002. It is a spy action film co-produced by the United States and the United States, directed by Doug Liman, Matt Da Starring Meng , with a cost of 60 million US dollars, it took in a global box office of 214 million US dollars, basically achieving break-even but starting a masterpiece series. is also known as the world's three major spy movies together with "Mission: Impossible Series" and "007 Series".
In 2004, directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Matt Damon, the "The Bourne Supremacy: The Bourne Identity" was launched. It cost US$75 million and earned US$290 million in box office worldwide. ; Three years later, the original team once again launched "The Bourne Supremacy: Ultimatum", which cost $125 million and won $227 million in North America. The final global box office reached $444 million.
When preparing for "The Bourne Supremacy", it was delayed due to reasons such as changing directors, poor scripts, increased costs, and schedule conflicts. Until 2012, "The Bourne Legacy", directed by Tony Gilroy and starring Jeremy Renner, had a box office of only $289 million worldwide at a cost of $125 million. Then they had no choice but to bring back Matt Damon to star in "The Bourne Supremacy". "The Bourne Supremacy" was still directed by Paul Greengrass. It cost $120 million in 2016 and earned $410 million at the global box office.
5 " The Bourne Supremacy " can actually be divided into 4 main stories and 1 side story. Among the three major spy movies, this series has the worst box office performance, but the best reputation performance.
"Spy 1" has a rating of 8.6 from 446,000 people on Douban , ranking 246th in Douban's top 250 ; 576,000 people have rated it 7.8 on imdb.
"Spy 2" has a rating of 8.7 from 367,000 people on Douban , ranking 242nd in the top 250 of Douban ; 486,000 people have rated it 7.7 on imdb.
"Spy 3" has a high score of 8.8 from 435,000 people on Douban, ranking 169th on Douban's top 250; 658,000 people have given it a score of 8.0 on imdb (meeting the minimum requirement for imdb top 250).
But after "Spy 3", the fourth film without Jason Bourne and the already aging fifth film saw a sharp decline in ratings, with only 6.6 and 7.5 ratings on Douban. The real king of spy movies has completely come to an end, but as Hollywood’s originality is getting weaker and weaker, I believe it is still possible to see a reboot of “The Bourne Supremacy” soon.
From Luoxue's personal perspective, the most amazing thing about "The Bourne Series" is that the director used a more realistic approach to present the story of an agent. used various real-life skills of real agents in Bourne, giving the movie a sense of authenticity. It has a very strong sense of credibility, just like the war movie does to "Hell's Soldiers".
Moreover, the pace of this series is particularly fast. It can be said that almost the whole process is high-energy, leaving the audience with no leisure time. But while the overall pace is fast, it also slows down the pace in details to tell stories. allows the audience to feel the intensity of the film's rhythm and the stunning realism, and it can also tell a complete story well, achieving multiple sensory stimulations.
What's even more rare is that this series can be said to be an extremely rare action movie in the entire desert of Hollywood action movies. It has tricks and fighting, which is very rare in Hollywood movies. But the only pity is that starting from the third part, the bugs in "The Bourne Supremacy 3, 4, and 5" began to increase gradually. Therefore, from Luo Xue’s personal perspective, the best part is not the third one, but the second one.
contains serious spoilers below. I suggest friends who haven’t seen it to watch the movie first and then read Luoxue’s recommendations! (Remember to turn off the barrage)
. Stunning realism
Perhaps no spy movie or police film can have the same sense of realism as "The Bourne Supremacy" . It seems to be a real spy war moved from the real world to the movie. There is no heroism here, only the difficulty of hiding under the powerful oppression of the state machine.
Speaking from the story itself, the overall story of "The Bourne Supremacy Series" is extremely simple. can be summarized as the CIA agent who lost his memory was hunted by the organization, was framed by the organization and continued to be hunted, and was hunted again after the organization's conspiracy was exposed. Killing, and the story of being troubled and hunted for no reason.
Compared with "Mission Impossible Series" and "007 Series", the story of "The Bourne Supremacy Series" is as light as water. Its reflection on politicians' use of public power for private purposes is touching but not deep, but it is far inferior to Korean movies are profound and not as shocking as the political sensitivity of "Sicario", but "The Bourne Supremacy" has an extremely strong sense of reality.
This sense of realism is a true presentation of every character or character in the movie. For example, in the first film, there was a riot at the American Embassy in Switzerland. The troops that were subsequently dispatched were extremely fast and professional, even though Bourne was very skilled. I can only run away quickly, which is seriously different from a cool popcorn movie like "beekeeper".
At the same time, The most amazing thing about "The Bourne Supremacy Series" is the interlocking stories and the strong sense of crisis without any sense of pretense.
For example, the amnesiac Bourne in "Spy 1" went to the Swiss bank because of the Swiss bank number, and learned about the "Stumbling Block" plan and multinational passports, but because the bank had a CIA informant, Bourne was forced to escape to the embassy, but because He was interrogated for his strange behavior, and then acted subconsciously. When he was escaping, he met the heroine. Because his passport had a Paris address, he went to Paris to check his identity...
It can be said that the movie stories are interlocking, like an extremely precise instrument, with each gear between They are interlocked with each other. Only when clue a is obtained, clue b will appear, and then clue c will appear. is completely different from the "Mission: Impossible" series where the turning point relies on masks, and the "007 series" turning point relies on technology, and it is also more realistic.
At the same time, A big reason for the success of "The Bourne Series" is Bourne's strong anti-reconnaissance awareness , or the crisis awareness engraved in his bones. This awareness is reflected in "Spy 1" and "Spy 2" It is most obvious in .
For example, when Bourne was sleeping in a Swiss park, and after encountering a patrolman and knocking him unconscious, Bourne immediately took off the red down jacket that impressed him most when escaping, preferring to walk in the winter wearing a swimming sweater with leaky wind. After discovering that he was wanted by the CIA and being chased by the Paris police, he immediately threw the car away and said: "You can never get back into this car again. Let's wipe it clean and I will wipe off the fingerprints."
At the same time, including changing the heroine's hairstyle, sending the heroine to the hotel to explore the layout of the hotel where he lives in Paris, will find the person as long as he doesn't refuse the first time when calling, and hang up the phone immediately. When he sees the police on the roadside, The fact that he could guess that he had been exposed, and that Supervisor Jocia actually wanted to install a car tracker, etc. all illustrate the vigilance and anti-reconnaissance awareness of Bourne, the male protagonist of "The Bourne Supremacy".
Even if you watch "The Bourne Supremacy" carefully and the British TV series "Stealth Tracking", you can directly become a super powerful anti-reconnaissance expert.
It is precisely because of these details that the movie is full of reality. Just like "Hell's Soldiers", it is not a simple movie, but a rare educational film. But the film is good not only because of the real motivations of the male protagonist in the story, but also because of the blessings of photography, rhythm and other aspects.
. Super rhythmic
In Hollywood, and even in the entire action film industry, it is basically difficult to find action films with such a sense of rhythm. It is not like "The Raid 1" or "007: Quantum of Solace" that uses a lot of action scenes, but forgets to shape the characters.
Every movie in the "Mission: Impossible" series is always in a setting where the two sides are almost evenly matched, or the CIA side is more powerful, so that Bourne is always being hunted, and then the two sides need to be evenly matched to create it. Extremely intense tension. Bourne needs to escape from numerous pursuits, escape the pursuit of the CIA and the local police, and at the same time find his own past so that the culprits can be punished accordingly.
Similarly, although CIA has more resources, because Bourne's force value and alertness are top-notch, CIA often cannot find people and various tasks fail. Therefore, CIA is also extremely nervous and needs to find out Bourne's whereabouts, Bourne's purpose, etc. at any time and as soon as possible.
It is precisely because of this almost evenly matched contest between the enemy and ourselves that the movie is always in an extremely tight sense of tension , and this is "Mission: Impossible" and "007", and even "Kings Agent" and "The Vengeful Man" An advantage that other action movies don’t have.
But when he is nervous, the director will also set up relatively many dramas to tell the whole story clearly, and shape the characters in the movie to make the story watchable. Among them, the biggest reason for the low score of "Spy 5" is that the movie was tense throughout and had many action scenes, but it forgot to tell the story, so that half of the movie was played, and a large number of viewers had no idea what was being told.
Therefore, can unceremoniously say that "The Bourne Series" has a very strong sense of rhythm. Only the "Mission: Impossible Series" can rival it, but "Mission" lacks the sense of tension of "The Bourne Series". Create.
At the same time, in order to increase the tension and the realism of the film, the film uses shaking hand-held photography throughout the film, and uses jerky and jerky photography in scenes such as big cities to make the film look like a candid shot. News feature film. Although the shaking is eye-sore, it does make the movie more tense and realistic.
In addition, another advantage of "The Bourne Supremacy" that I have to say is the extremely excellent fighting. In the desert of action movies in Hollywood, it is extremely rare to see an action movie with moves, routines, and dodges.
The apartment fight in "Spy 1" was the first time that a fight did not rely on resistance and size advantage. In "Spy 3", the battle between Bourne and the killer can even be on par with Chinese action movies, with fast and violent fighting, There are rules and routines, hard bridges and hard horses, and there will be casualties on each other. Bourne's flushed face and the twitching flesh on his face when he strangled the opponent with all his strength showed the ferocity and reality of this battle.
The only shortcoming is that the photography and editing of these two fights deserve more credit, and they do not have the beauty and power of the toilet fight in "Disc 6".
But in addition to the photography and fighting, the car chase scenes in this series can be said to be at the pinnacle of car chase scenes , especially the car chase between the little yellow car and the big G in "Spy 2" is the most beautiful, here In addition to the exciting plot, shaky photography, fast editing, and various rollovers, collisions, and damages, the damage to the little yellow car is extremely realistic.
Not to mention comparing it with the racing scenes in other action movies, just by comparing it within "The Bourne Supremacy", you can see the authenticity of the damage to the little yellow car. The extremely obvious traces of pretense are actually the director's care for the movie. So within "The Bourne Supremacy", which one is better?
Good or bad is always a very subjective feeling, everyone just stick to what they like. But from Luoxue's point of view, the best one is "Spy 2" which is more mature than "Spy 1".
Starting from "Spy 3", although the movie ratings have reached a new high, there are not as many bugs in the movie as in "The Bourne Supremacy". Take "Spy 3" as an example. After seeing Bourne's strong judgment, the reporter was still able to take advantage of Bourne's repeated warnings, which seemed extremely deliberate. Moreover, the glass in the CIA headquarters building is not protected from peeping, and the window in the CIA training building broke the with just a slight bump. These bugs would be fine if they were moved to another location, but it would seem extremely deliberate on the part of CIA.
At the same time, the CIA director who told reporters the intelligence was easily killed by someone. He was not familiar with CIA's assassination techniques? The killer blew up the defecting supervisor and knocked Bourne unconscious, but didn't even recharge, which seemed so unprofessional.
And starting from "Spy 3", the overall story of the movie began to become more far-fetched. In "Spy 5", this far-fetched reached a new peak, that is, forcibly connecting CIA and Bourne. , "Spy 5" has nothing to do with Bourne, and it is too far-fetched to insist on linking them together. (But I like the scheming history of the heroine of "Spy 5", but it is a pity that she lost to Bourne's protagonist. Halo, it would be nice to be able to cripple Bourne).
Moreover, Bourne's alertness has dropped several levels since the third part, and he no longer even performs basic counter-reconnaissance operations such as taking off his clothes and cutting his hair. Basically, he just hopes that the CIA can find him quickly.
Therefore, in Luoxue’s opinion, “Spy 2” is the best among the “Bourne series”!
It should be noted that in terms of action scenes, "The Bourne Supremacy" is not outstanding in the action film world. It is above the passing line and has not yet reached the level of excellence. But in terms of spy films and spy films, "The Bourne Supremacy" is indeed unparalleled. It is the best spy film and spy film in film history!
Okay, that’s all for today. I think what Luoxue said is somewhat reasonable, so please give it a thumbs up and give it a thumbs up. I want to understand a movie from different dimensions. If you want to watch a good movie, please follow Luoxue. Thanks!
Thanks to all the teachers for the reward. Compared with the few yuan, Luoxue is more pleased that my ideas and knowledge can be affirmed by you. In the vast sea of people, it is a rare happiness in life to be appreciated by you. I have no words to thank you, but I can only say, thank you!
