Die Hard 5: Xiaoqiang who is still strong

Filiberto 2022-03-18 09:01:03

Xiaoqiang, who can't be beaten to death, is old, but he is still tenacious. It is actually quite interesting to watch a show of "Die Hard 5" in Beijing's craggy Beijing in the cold spring.



Participating in the free movie viewing event organized by Time.com, traveling halfway across the capital, and going to the Orange Sky Golden Harvest Phoenix Cinema, was a little interesting. Originally, when I went to see a movie, I basically chose a few cinemas I often go to and their specific screening halls according to the type of the movie. The presentation of the effect will also be different in the auditorium. It's actually not enough for a picky way of watching movies like me. However, it is also interesting to observe the staff of Mtime Network up close and observe their motivation for organizing activities. What's more, in the interactive session before the screening, you can also bring back some small prizes, why not.



After watching the movie, I originally wanted to write something, and since I participated in the activities of Mtime Network, I should talk about it. The short paragraph above is a bit of a running account of watching movies.



Lian Po is old and can still eat. Old cloth will grow old, but Jon McClain will not. Just like Stallone gets old, Rocky and Rambo never get old. What's more, while Tom Cruise is getting old, Agent Eaton is getting older and stronger. However, having said that, "Die Hard 5" is already in a state of exhaustion. It is more than mighty, but there is not much aftertaste. This kind of anti-terrorism and police and bandit films are often difficult to make people have endless aftertastes, and more of them are the hot scenes and the mighty actions, but this time alone, it is difficult to satisfy the current appetite of the audience. No matter how popular the scene is, it is still inferior to "Transformers", "Avengers", and "Avatar". So, the design of the plot is still very important, and whoever gives up on this will fail.



"Die Hard 5" is a good deal, and the plot continues the gimmick of the previous films: John McClain is always in the wrong place at the wrong time, and then forced into a series of troubles. As a local police officer, he doesn't solve cases locally, but outside his jurisdiction. After work, he ran into troubles, and it was a huge trouble. McClain not only ran further and further, but also encountered more and more trouble. This time, he went to Moscow and interfered in the Russian election, as well as the world situation behind the election. This is really big enough trouble.



However, as far as this trouble is concerned, Jon McClain is not really the main character, his son Jack McClain is. As a CIA agent, Jack is responsible for taking a political prisoner from a Russian prison and taking him to the United States in order to unravel the shady existence of the Russian election in order to prevent politicians with dirty ass from taking office, thereby fundamentally mitigating the future American-Russian form. Jon McClain's unexpected appearance on the streets of Moscow, in just five minutes, ruined the plan that Jack and the CIA had prepared for several years, put Jack in a life-and-death situation, and put McClain in a last-ditch situation. . The Jedi's big counterattack, such a story routine is actually quite interesting, not to mention, McClain will never face a simple adversary. The political prisoner that the father and son wanted to save, his rescue at the beginning and the subsequent kidnapping were actually planned and used. He not only used his political opponents, but also used Jack and the CIA. Not only does the top-secret documents that he said reveal the truth about Chernobyl do not exist in the world, but the material that led to the Chernobyl nuclear leak is still under his control, and what he has done is to continue to control it and keep it under control. To sell to the wicked buyer of the earth. The immortal and strong general McLean turned against the guest and led his son to travel through Russia, from Moscow to Chernobyl, following the change of form to deal with too powerful opponents. Of course, the ultimate winner belongs to the strong, the undead strong.



"Die Hard 5" is fun enough, and there is almost no urine in the whole chapter. Although I drank too much water because of eating KFC before watching the movie, my bladder kept bloating, but I still insisted on reading it. It's cool. After it's late, I'll go to the toilet for another refresher. And with the pouring of the hot bubble, the coolness from the movie began to cool down quickly. Come fast, go fast, this is the biggest feeling of "Die Hard 5".



Sticking to a series is actually not something that can be done simply by copying, nor by simply upgrading the scene. The reason why "Mission Impossible 4" is good is that except for the mode of Agent Eaton and Impossible Missions, everything has basically changed, and the comprehensive upgrade has brought a good reputation. In "Fast and Furious 5", except for the unchanged protagonist, everything including the plot has been upgraded. And in "First Blood 4", Rambo is no longer a lone hero, but a team to fight. If the "Die Hard" series wants to continue, it must seek new breakthroughs. This time, it has already gone abroad, and the background has been set to the pattern of world politics, so the next step is to rush out of the earth. In a bland society, we need passion, we need McLean's masculinity, but you have to be reasonable, you have to be convincing, it's not such a simple requirement. Who wants you to be an immortal Xiaoqiang, and the strong will always be strong, the more powerful you are, the higher the requirements will be. Bruce Willis' starlight in recent years has been bleak. To save himself, it is not simply to copy McLean.

    As a vase character, it’s common sense to wear high heels and show your legs in a helicopter.

    Pretty mediocre action movie. Joining the son originally intended to form an undead duo to double the excitement, but the father and son fell into constant bickering and family repair, but instead slowed down the pace and created a lot of boring plots. There are not many action scenes that people remember, or only the car chase in front, that part is so wasteful, it makes me feel distressed. The Muscovites have no grievances or enmity with you, so why do you do things like that, aren't you afraid of Yuri's revenge?
