The war ends in a silent and proud victory for tech

Every minute of this movie is discussing a topic: traditional VS new technology, who can win?

The word "tradition" isn't accurate, it's just that I can't think of a neutral word as opposed to technology.


In the end, Johnny, wearing heavy medieval armor and striding hard, threw the iPad at Jason like a stone.

Johnny is undoubtedly the icon of tradition, he doesn't even know smartphones.

This scene is probably meant to express: Tradition struggles to keep up with the pace of technology with its self-righteous solidity and glory, and then destroys it with brute force as always. Cot calm's database was also blown up by missiles, just as savage.


Jason was knocked unconscious, the equipment in his hand was destroyed, but the data had been fully transmitted to the LA database.

It was a fleeting, superficial, narcissistic victory for the traditional faction, who beat people and smashed devices, but failed to beat the heart of new technology: data.

And the retention of data seems to show that technology is not guilty, but people are guilty.


In fact, the director has tried his best to objectively present the advantages and disadvantages and contradictions of tradition and technology.

It's just that in my eyes, this war ended with a silent and proud victory of technology.


BTW: This 6.4 rating is really Gucci. . .

Johnny English Strikes Again quotes

  • [Ophelia has Johnny at gunpoint as he sits on the edge of her boat]

    Johnny English: If you wanted to kill me, you would've done so already. Until we meet again.

    [He leans back and falls over the edge. There's a clang]

    Johnny English: Ow!

    [Ophelia walks to the edge and leans over, revealing that Johnny has landed on the lower deck of the boat]

    Ophelia: That was sooner than expected.

  • Pegasus: Now, transport. So, take any hybrid you want.

    Johnny English: [pulls the dust cover off an Aston Martin] I'll take this one.

    Pegasus: Oh, don't be ridiculous, English. This car's a relic. Drinks petrol, leaks oil and has no passive, let alone active, safety features.

    Bough: You know what else it doesn't have, Sir? Satellite navigation or a single computer chip.

    Johnny English: Making it completely invisible to a digital enemy.
