Spy instructional film

During the off-season when American TV shows were broadcast, I randomly released a few American TV shows to pass the time. Burn Notice is one of them. This film gives me the feeling that it belongs to the kind of American drama that can be discarded and not watched at any time. Fortunately, it is a story. Although there is a mystery in which the protagonist was fired for no reason as a clue to the extension of the episode, because this line is not so attractive, it seems that it can be ignored. Anyway, watching one episode, Just to end a story, I have the right to take the chicken bones and imagine that there is chicken on it, and wait until the American TV show starts in the autumn before really nibbling on the chicken.

Now, the chicken is here, and I just write some messy text to commemorate the period of time when I gnawed my bones.

Some of Burn Notice's translation into "Wire of Fire" seems to be closer to the literal meaning, but I feel that Feng Ruan's translation into "Why Fry Me" is more vivid and direct to the main point.

This drama uses a first-person narrative method to deal with the plot. The male protagonist micheal (I don’t know if the name was written incorrectly) was originally a spy, but he was blacklisted and lost everything, so he wanted to find out why he was blacklisted. He had to make money to support himself, so he began to use his spying skills to help others solve the trouble they encountered. Also helping him are ex-girlfriend and ex-spy Fiona and old friend and ex-spy Sam.

First of all, there are no handsome guys or beautiful women in the play. At least the male protagonist is not the type that I think is seductive, but after watching it for a long time, I don’t think there is anything. Empty your head, basically you can continue watching without replaying.

I think if there is a reason for people to look down, it is that this is a "spy teaching film". Throughout the process of problem solving, Micheal will carefully explain various skills, including how to control the opponent's psychology, and so on. I don't know if these techniques work in real life, but when you need it, it seems you can refer to this show. For example, how to avoid tracking in various situations, how to track others without being discovered, how to make flash bombs, trackers, and bombs with daily-buy items, how to steal things under different circumstances, and how to use them without a key card. Entering other people’s hotel rooms, etc., can be used for reference anyway. As for whether it is derived from life or fabricated, it is not known, but this "teaching film" form is indeed somewhat attractive, plus the filming location It is the seaside city of Miami. Although it is not as beautiful as the pictures taken by CSI MIAMI in recent seasons, it can still make up for the lack of beauty of the protagonist.

In general, Burn Notice is not an overly prominent American drama. Now this season, American dramas have returned. There seems to be no reason to recommend it to everyone, but occasionally, when you are bored, you can use it to pass the US drama broadcast.

    The main story is about a laid-off agent who gradually unravels his fascination with tagging. One episode is a short story. The fast food-style drama is not hard to chase, and at the same time it is not addictive to watch.
