"Mission Impossible 5: Mysterious Nation": Iron King Kong's Breakthrough Violent Syndicate Crisis

Charley 2022-01-25 08:05:24

Straightforwardly speaking, Mission Impossible 5 is the most exciting episode except for the first part of the series. The new work not only brings us back to the original features of the series, but also takes a big step towards the old-school spy movie style. One will look particularly dazzling.
Discussing this film should start with Xia Detective Jack. It can be said that Detective Jack is the demo version of Mission Impossible 5, and it can also be said that Detective Jack is a full-featured version of Mission Impossible. This director is obviously surrounded by old-school spy films, as can be seen in the style of Detective Jack's active and complementary style of fighting spirit. It's just that the director who directed the film for the first time did not have enough control over the film, and lacked experience in the film's heavy suspense making. Although it weakened the proportion of armed confrontation, it did not achieve the effect of intoxicating the audience through the detection of the incident. When it comes to this new work, it is obvious that the director's level has improved, although the problem is still significant.
At this point, the author has already watched Mission Impossible 5 twice in the cinema, and one of the most intuitive impressions is that the film is just like the 007 Sky Murder in the same way. Both are reviving the ancient style, tracing the original style of the series, paying tribute and nostalgia; at the same time, they also pay attention to the existence and identity of the spy itself. The meaning of existence, at this point, even the trilogy with the Bourne Shadows has the same goal by different paths. Of course, the process of the contest is based on intelligence-driven force, through typical espionage and intellectual confrontation, rather than blatant fire and show off force on the streets like bandits or terrorists. Mission Impossible 2 is the culprit that caused the entire series to miss and it is also the most ugly part of the series. The third part returns to the original style to a certain extent. It is pretty good. The fourth part is the high-tech action to the extreme. It is too dazzling to make the previous work. Even the fourth part is not so exciting. This new work has made a trade-off, made a trade-off between old school style and modern style, and did not reduce the high-tech action elements. We can see that there are still many thrilling action scenes in the film, such as airplane climbing, motorcycle chase, Dive into the water-cooling system, but the action is no longer overwhelming, and the advancement of the plot is not driven by the action scene. The action has only become a means. Like all other espionage methods, even if these elements are thrown away, the movie will not be lost. Therefore, I have always liked "Soldier Potter and Tailor" and "Munich", as well as Tom Clancy's Jack Klein series of films, and they have explained the smart game between spies very well.
Of course, although this new work is retro style, it is not entirely new. Isn't the heroine of this film a very new place in the film? In the usual spy movies, the heroine is not the vase agent in 007, or the spy shadow that emphasizes the kind of emotional concern. Including the previous Mission: Impossible movies, it is nothing more than these two types, so Brother Tom finally begged a wife in the third part, and the later sequel was also lost. After all, this kind of emotional concern will become The most deadly weakness of spies. The heroine in this film not only has no emotional and physical contact with Tom, but even has no inferior strength to Tom. Except for the male protagonist's halo, the author did not see any place where the female protagonist is weaker than the male protagonist. The whole movie also spent a lot of pen and ink to show her outstanding intelligence and force. She and the male protagonist each acted as the host's use of opponents and friends, driving the development of the entire film plot.
In addition, as a former spy, the movie villain's duel with the male protagonist is basically a purely intellectual confrontation. From the perspective of the whole film, the male protagonist has always been at a disadvantage, and even the characters in the film can't help but complain. This is quite similar to the murderous intent of the sky, except that the villain in the sky has basically achieved his goal even though he died, so strictly speaking, it is the victory of the villain. The Spy 5 still gave the protagonist a halo of invincibility. So Spy 5 is never as good as 007 canopy. However, many people complain about the villain's death too fast, which I disagree with. The villain is a high-level intelligence officer, not a field agent, and there is no way for the literati to win by force in a confrontation. Moreover, the handling of the villain's arrest and the response to the opening of the movie are quite ironic.
On the whole, Mission Impossible 5 satisfied the author, and turned a blind eye to the flaws. Simon Peggy's cold humor is popular in this film, as well as the moments of Hawkeye and the prime minister, as well as allusions to British and American politics, which can be regarded as adding a bit of flavor to a serious spy film.

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation quotes

  • Ilsa Faust: If we're being honest, you're a terrorist.

    Lane: If that were true, then my goal would be to spread fear. But my methods are far more surgical.

    Ilsa Faust: You kill innocent people.

    Lane: I helped my government kill many innocent people and more, so much more. Killing to keep things as they were. And now I'm killing to bring about change.

  • [the team attempts to open the data package they stole]

    Ethan Hunt: What's happening?

    Luther Stickell: I can't open it.

    Ethan Hunt: What do you mean you can't open it?

    Ethan Hunt: I mean I can't open it, ever.

    Benji Dunn: That's a red box.

    William Brandt: A what?

    Ethan Hunt: It's a red box. The British government uses them to transport state secrets.

    William Brandt: Doesn't sound good.

    Benji Dunn: Meaning it's triple-encrypted. You're not getting into that thing unless you have fingerprints, retinal scan, and a voice phrase spoken by a specific individual.

    Ethan Hunt: The Prime Minister of Great Britain himself.

    Benji Dunn: Yes, him.

    William Brandt: So what you're saying is there is no ledger, which means we have no proof that the Syndicate even exists. So we're back to square one, only now we're all wanted by the CIA.

    [sarcastically]

    William Brandt: I'm so proud of us.

    Benji Dunn: What I don't understand is why is there a red box sat in a private data vault in Morocco?

    Luther Stickell: And why would Lane want it if he can't open it?

    Benji Dunn: If Lane wants it, you can bet he has a plan to open it and we just helped him steal it.

    Luther Stickell: He's gonna take the Prime Minister.

    Ethan Hunt: Yes, he is. The question is, how?

    Benji Dunn: Well, we have to warn the British.

    William Brandt: Yeah, MI6.

    [pulls out a cellphone]

    Ethan Hunt: No, no, Brandt, put down the phone. Let's just think about this for a minute.

    William Brandt: We have a responsibility to warn the British government, not gamble with the Prime Minister's life, Ethan! Just so you can beat the guy that has beaten you at every turn!

    Ethan Hunt: Is that what you think this is? Brandt? Is that what you think this is?

    William Brandt: I think, right now, you're incapable of seeing that there's another way.

    Luther Stickell: And sometimes Ethan is the only one capable of seeing the only way.

    William Brandt: And if he's wrong, we have Vienna ALL OVER AGAIN!

    Ethan Hunt: You don't know him. If he wants something to happen, THERE'S NO PREVENTING IT!

    William Brandt: That's why we have to warn the British!

    Ethan Hunt: Maybe that's exactly what he wants us to do!

    William Brandt: Are you listening to yourself? We're going to warn the British!

    Ethan Hunt: No. We're going to find Lane, we're going to get him before he takes the Prime Minister.

    William Brandt: [pauses, then slowly puts the phone back in his pocket] Okay. Alright, Ethan. We're going to find Lane. But please tell me. How are we going to do that?
