Concealing the sky and crossing the sea, the beautiful girl tricks Linglong and Qianjiao to steal jewelry: it's a really good bad movie

There is a film that has resources, and movie friends are running around on Weibo to tell them.

it is--

"Ocean's Eight"

In mainland China, it is translated as "Hiding the Sky and Crossing the Sea: A Beauty's Plan", in Hong Kong it is called "Pirates of the Sea Pride 8 Meiqianjiao", and in Taiwan it is translated as "Hiding the Sky and Crossing the Sea: Exquisitely Beautiful".

Concealing the sky and crossing the sea is the first of the "Thirty-six Tactics", and the beauty trick is the thirty-first trick. When the two are combined, the power seems to be doubled.

The thieves movies are good-looking, and there are many classics, such as "The Trap of the Sky", "Eleven Arhats", "Steal the Sky for the Sun", "After Sunset", "Across the World", "Dragon and Phoenix Fight", "The Treasure Alliance" and so on.

"Ocean's Eight" (Ocean's Eight) took over "Ocean's Eleven" (Ocean's Eleven), and Debbie Ocean, the sister of the big thief Danny Ocean (George Clooney), appeared.

The cast lineup is also scary.

Although it is a group show, Sandra Bullock, who plays Debbie, is very good. She is connected with her. Who called her from the Ocean family. The opening chapter is her one-man show, which not only outlines the background of the characters, but also shows her stealing skills - pretending to return something brand new in the store, but not allowed, and then pretending to be angry and taking it away as her own. A really good move.

Debbie, who was released on parole after more than five years in prison, finds his former best friend Lou (Cate Blanchett), and decides to steal the rare diamond necklace "Tucson" worth 150 million US dollars from Cartier's family.

The time to start is the Met Gala (Met Gala, New York), and Cartier will sponsor host Daphne (Anne Hathaway) to wear this necklace.

Debbie is actually a little careful. She framed her scumbag boyfriend who was in jail, and it would be difficult for her to let go without revenge.

Lou brought Debbie together to find candidates to form a team, and brought in costume designer Rose (Helena Bonham Carter), hacker Nine Ball (Rihanna), pickpocket Constance (Awkwafina), jeweler Amita (Mindy Kaling) and Tammy (Sarah Paulson).

Counting it, it's a team of seven, but what about Eight? This kind of routine of concealing a character's identity and then reversing it, of course, was quickly understood by experienced audiences. Daphne, who seems to be an outsider, is definitely not stupid and sweet on the surface.

To sum up, the division of labor among 8 people is: plan it (Debbie), risk it (Lou), find it (Rose), hack it (Nine Ball), fence it (Tammy), take it (Constance), fake it (Amita) ), wear it (Daphne).

The treasure stealing plan is also very old school. 1. Hack into the security system and create a blind spot in the monitoring field of the bathroom door; 2. Scan and obtain data on the basis of the designer observing the necklace, and use zircon as the material to 3D print an imitation product; 3. The undercover dinner service team made the actress wearing a necklace eat a bad stomach, and took the opportunity to drop her bag in the bathroom.

The film does not focus on suspense, but mainly shows the cool feeling of a group of women forming a group to be thieves.

In order to be "politically correct" or to attract the largest audience, the composition of this "all-female thief" is painstakingly composed, mainly Americans, including Indians, Asians, blacks, British and Australians, style There are also colorful, there are royal sisters, neutral, sweet, gothic, hip-hop, street, charming, and housewife.

In reality, this group of people, 54 years old, 52 years old, 49 years old, 44 years old, 39 years old, 36 years old, and two 30 years old, abandoned the little loli and ushered in the carnival of big women - in the United States me In the context of the too movement, this film was also labeled as a "feminist stealing film".

Because the climax takes place at the Met Gala, there are a lot of stars, models, and celebrities in the film, star-studded, and it's interesting to count the stars in a flash of footage.

It is worth mentioning that there are two WTA superstars in the film, all of whom are guests on the Met Gala in their true colors.

Xiaowei was not only called out by name, given a close-up, but also had two lines. Sharapova has only one line, and the close-up is not too big, only one line. It seems that Xiaowei is still overpowering Sharapova, but in the list of end credits, Sharapova comes first, so let's count it back.

ATP giant Federer also appeared by name to brush his presence: Anna Wintour, the famous milk powder and editor-in-chief of VOGUE, watched Federer's game in the office.

The whole plot is naive and there are bugs. Such a good cast feels like it's just a play, which is a bit of a waste.

But, it's really good-looking, Sangpo's charming, the big devil's handsome, Annie's bitch, Helena's weird, Rihanna's cool.

Anne Hathaway's performance is very dazzling, and there are contrasts, she is glamorous when the vase is in the pool, inexplicably cute when she becomes a shrewd and scheming girl, and she opens her eyebrows when she becomes a violent director.

By the way, the big devil also offered the most standard Mandarin in Hollywood: "How are you", "Can you", "One two three".

The ending was simply too good to be true. They not only stole "Tucang", but also stole a lot of exhibits, and framed it for Debbie's scumbag ex, successfully escaping suspicion.

Each of them can share a huge sum of 38.3 million US dollars. In the end, they each live their ideal life. They open a store, buy a house, buy a house, film a movie, and travel far away. It's really an urban fairy tale.

But just watch the movie. Don't let others push you. In life, we still have to strive to be good citizens who are law-abiding, honest and trustworthy. Well, I'm an old Communist Party member.

    I really want to be bent! The bitchy in Annie's bones is too vivid, Rihanna is simply a high school student, the two big boss faces are a bit stiff, but not so handsome! The editing technique reproduces the classic shadow of the Eleven Arhats, it is the translation of the title...

    2.5 Not bad. The story is quite small, and the theft process is also very unimaginative. Most of the passages are like transplants of classic thieves gang movies and adultery. The Queen of Erbu is very handsome, but she is more like posing in beautiful clothes. In contrast, Hathaway is very active, and loves her!

Ocean's Eight quotes

  • Debbie Ocean: [to Amita about Claude] When somebody got interested in a piece, I'd pose as another buyer and drive up the price. Money was good and he was great in the kitchen... One day he asked me to pose as the seller, not the buyer.

  • Debbie Ocean: [about Claude after Lou finds out about her real reason for the heist] He sent me to jail! You have no idea what that's like.

    Lou: Yeah, well, he's gonna do it again.

    Debbie Ocean: No, he's not.
