Father's love still has to be reflected by fists

The title is an extremely unreliable translation, and those who don't know think it is a disaster movie. The original name Taken actually has many meanings. On the surface, it means that the daughter was kidnapped. The deeper meaning also includes the meaning of the daughter being taken away from the father. Chinese cannot convey such complicated meanings, but at least it should be faithful and should not add meaningless modifications. In fact, the name "Rescue" is enough, or the name "A Thousand Miles of Murders" is better than the current title.

The year-end inventory of "No. 10 Screening Room" gave a high evaluation of this domestic film that was released in April last year. It was said that except for the part that explained the relationship between father and daughter at the beginning, after the rescue operation began, there was no moment of coldness, and the audience was always nervous. And excitement to the end. Indeed, the exciting plot development, clean shots and editing, direct and effective melee combat, much like the style of the Bourne Shadow series. Maybe this will be the direction of spy and action movies.

However, compared with the action scenes, the less intense paving at the beginning left a deeper impression on me. An agent paid a lot for the country, but lost his family, especially because of the estrangement with his daughter. In order to rebuild the relationship with his daughter, he traced the family of his ex-wife who had remarried, hoping to get closer and have more contact with his daughter. Such a move was criticized by her ex-wife, and she did not understand her excessive interference with her daughter. However, gold always shines. The daughter who traveled to Europe was robbed by the human trafficker group. The wealthy stepfather was helpless and had to rely on his capable father to rescue him. However, even the brave and combative fathers rely on "good luck" to a large extent. In any case, in the end it was the success of the horse, and the father and daughter's hearts became closer-this is in the movie after all, it is more likely that a considerate father is not as good as a rich stepfather in life.

The fly in the ointment is that Liam Neeson is a bit old, and the action scenes are obviously strenuous. He really worried about him when he ran and chased the car. But think about the emotional scenes mentioned above, and think about Harrison Ford, so I feel that age is no longer an issue, and that experience is the most important thing. Although Zhu Zhu disagrees with the love between father and daughter in the film-she thinks love between father and daughter is just an element. In the final analysis, this is still a spy film. It is the same if the daughter is replaced with a confidential document, but for Liam Nissen's The acting skills are greatly appreciated. I think so. The old drama Gulianm Nissen showed the delicate heart of a lost father deeply and touchingly. Coming back from the woman’s birthday party, organizing the photo album and touching the daughter’s face in the photo was heartbreaking. Also, listening to his daughter being arrested on the phone, the professional characteristics of the agent kept him calm, but the person he loved most encountered danger and made him feel uncomfortable. This feeling was that even the flashing eyes and facial nerves of Liam Neeson The impact of the show was expressed vividly, in Zhuzhu's words: This is called acting.

The plot of the abduction and sale of young girls, the collusion between the security department and the criminal group, and the rich people buying and selling girls for entertainment is really shocking. I can't help but think of the horror film "Human Skin Inn 2" I have watched before. The core stories of the two films are similar, and the angles are different, and they have been made into different types of films. If this kind of film is shot in China, especially in Shanxi, it will probably become a social documentary.

Unreasonable points:

1. Agent Daddy Brian found the little girl who was trying to bait him with a girl at the airport. When he was violently extorting a confession, he was caught by his accomplices and beat him. Brian knocked down the accomplice and went after him. The little guy who took the opportunity to run away—in fact, it’s all the little guys anyway. Isn’t it the same to catch this accomplice for interrogation? Even though the one who ran away was a decoy, he might not know the whereabouts of the kidnapped girl better than this one.

2. Finally, when Brian was about to rescue his daughter on the boat, the boss took his daughter as a hostage. The question arises: Three girls were taken on the boat. How does the boss know which one of his daughters belonged to him?

The bug on the plot:

1. Brian came to Amanda's cousin's house (Here, Zhu Zhu questioned: how did he know this? I will explain: check Amanda's cousin, it should be fine. Since it can be done with a sentence Analyzing the identity of that Mark, and checking the address of a person with a name and surname shouldn’t be troublesome for our brave agent.), while listening to the recording of the phone, guessing the scene at the time, the recording started from the moment the daughter discovered that someone had come. Up. However, the previous plot shows that Brian started recording by telling his daughter what to do.

2. Brian found a piece of hair on the mirror in the room, picked it up carefully, and put it in a plastic bag. This is a very important clue on the surface. But later, this clue was gone. This bug may be caused by omissions when deleting the plot.

Having said so many questions, it doesn't mean that I don't like this film. In fact, only the movies that you like are interested in talking about these in detail, and the ones you don’t like are too lazy to pay attention to the details, let alone to say it.

    Unexpectedly, such a high score. You can watch it without using your brain. The rhythm is very good, but the story is too simple and the conditions are too many. The kidnapped girl has a rich dad and a good dad (not a friend gave birth), and the good dad is one of the retired agents. Liu, she is not in the rebellious period, and the contradiction between father and daughter is not obvious. Many factors lead to just looking at the action camera.

    Finally, the shoulders of Dad's suit were opened.
