Ghost party without soul

aspect screen fifty years of James Bond 007 series, in: the "007 Ghost Party" no longer presents a danger exciting spy game, on the contrary untimely literary shape, lengthy procrastination The rhythm, if the plot is the same as the sand, makes the movie really like a ghost without a soul, this time 007 has not been able to reproduce a bond of the past.


Director Sam Mendes’s overly strong literary craftsmanship does not meet the thrilling action needs of the 007 series. This has gradually emerged from the previous "Skyfall", and "The Ghost Party" is indeed in Sam Mendes. After the literary orientation, the lens has become retro and poetic in the context of the lens. Although this demonstrates his artistic style as the best director of the Oscar, these elements do not meet the audience’s demand for the colorful James Bond plot. It seems that the new work is just a new bottle of old wine, re-engraving many classic sections of the 007 series, but it has not tasted the inner depth of forging itself, which makes the film unbearably pale under a beautiful coat.

For the 007 series, the public’s perception is nothing more than endless luxury cars, cool high-tech, glamorous Bond girls, and finally come back to turn the tide, Sam Mendes’s director actually wants to transform this fixed template. Routines give the movie a new internality, but the kung fu he does are all expressive. Compared with recent works of the same type as "Female Spy", "Mission Impossible 5" and "Ace Agent", the image of 007, a veteran agent, is not the same. The old tree has not been able to bloom new flowers, but the performance of the kung fu has failed to fill the more reasonable movie logic. The weak villain, the lengthy embarrassment, like the lines of a lullaby, on the whole, the movie is nearly three-quarters of the length of time. It doesn't make people so interesting. The imbalance of rhythm control makes 007, although it still looks beautiful at first glance, but it is a pity that it is tasteless to abandon it.


This is already the fourth 007 work starring Daniel Craig. From "Casino Royale" to "The Ghost Party" now, although I have become familiar with the role control, the perception of the character's personality has changed. His powerless, increasingly dark and melancholic character image, especially after the baptism of the tragedy of "Death to the Sky", James Bond has deviated from this lonely heroic character in the romantic affair. His role is defined by Sam Mendes The desire for transformation has become more and more blurred, and the ungrounded, high-spirited and obscure characters make Bond in his lens lose his original state.

The soulless "Ghost Party", the film's decline is multi-angled. It has both the director's imbalance and the actor's own powerlessness. How to drive the audience's emotions is a fascinating classic series that everyone knows urgently needs to be cracked. The proposition.

    "Those things that bring people together are sometimes fear and sometimes beauty." The loyal image of a tough guy who can always turn danger into a breeze is omnipotent...Daniel's version of Bond has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The movie is long but still has many highlights: a cool opening, a nice theme song, a charming Saidou, Waltz who wrote about the pain of others, "Who sent you here, for whom do you die" to the little mouse Bond talking to himself... "Everyone should have a choice."

    Perhaps it can be said that 007 has not regressed, it is the rapid progress of other agent films. This year's four spy movies, although they are all given to Samsung, there are subtle differences between them, including four stars for ace agents, three plus for secret agents, three stars for Mission Impossible, and three stars for 007.

Spectre quotes

  • Blofeld: Do you know what it is?

    Madeleine: It's a meteorite.

    Blofeld: Yes, exactly. The Kartenhoff, the oldest in human possession. The very meteorite which made this crater. Think about it: so many years up there, alone, silent, building momentum until it chose to make its mark on Earth. A huge unstoppable force.

    James Bond: Except it did stop, didn't it? Right here.

  • Oberhauser: [stroking a white cat] Franz Oberhauser died twenty years ago, James, in an avalanche alongside his father. A man you're talking to now, a man inside your head, is Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
