Exquisite costumes and props, the excellent restoration of the World War II era did not present a heart-wrenching story. The embarrassment of "Spy Allies" is that it will be able to side by side with the ups and downs of "Casablanca". It's like a pool of stagnant water, which makes it difficult to see waves, so that this entanglement of love and hatred in the family and country seems so dull.
In terms of production, this work can no longer be compared with "Casablanca" more than half a century ago. The exquisite costume background and props make the movie full of a strong retro feeling, and the movie also tells this story to happen. The location of the movie was also chosen in the old Casablanca, so at the beginning, this story actually had a very good sense of substitution, and people would mistakenly think that this is a classic that can be better than blue, but as the plot progresses, It was only disappointment.
For a movie about love, sincere emotional expression is undoubtedly extremely important, but in the first half of this story, it makes people feel that the director is always in a hurry, and the first part is to present this romantic and beautiful love. It is too hasty, and the emotional foreshadowing between the characters is particularly insufficient, so that it is difficult to find any bright spots except for the car shock in the desert. The blunt emotions are arranged in Brad Pitt and Marion. · Cotillard is almost never seen sparks of love in this beautiful man and woman.
Another problem with "The League of Spies" is that its positioning is erratic. The two different paragraphs before and after make people feel like watching two different movies. It has become a love drama. This kind of narrative method of snakes and mice makes the film unable to satisfy the hearty plot tension of a spy war movie, and it is also difficult to delicately brew the sincerity of emotion, which makes this film a good one. The climax of the double espionage story, in the back paragraph of the lengthy love drama, went to mediocrity.
Casablanca has always been the same Casablanca, but the exquisite costumes and props of "Spy Allies" can't restore the truly moving charm of the classics of the past era, but only left people with an empty sigh.
