Speaking of Luc Besson, I believe many people remember his "This Killer Is Not Too Cold",
And the "Superbody" that made the widow sister open and hang up.
As a master director in France, Luc Besson's momentum in the past two years is a bit unsmooth, raising several years of "Interstellar Agent: City of a Thousand Cities" to make the film side lose a lot of money, and then enter the suspension period.
Two years have passed, thousands of calls have begun to come out, and the master has finally returned to the audience's field of vision this year with his new work.
And it's his best killer movie—
Anna
anna
If you want to say that the most popular killer movie in the past two years, it is none other than Keanu Reeves's "John Wick".
So someone suggested linking Anna to John Wick, matching her and Keanu Reeves to a cross-dimensional CP.
After all, these two people are really too similar when they fight, it is simply a parallel world of gender exchange.
However, some people believe that "Anna", whether it is a story or a performance, is a regular level of commercial film assembly line production, which cannot be compared with Luc Besson's previous works.
It may be that the previous "Interstellar Agent" was too "fancy", and this time "Anna" Luc Besson deliberately chose a sexual cold wind.
In particular, the female number one is a model with no acting experience!
Sasha Ruth, height 179cm.
Born in 1992 in Russia.
She plays Anna, who has silver hair and shiny white skin, a cold expression and a proud figure. After being discovered by scouts, he went to Paris to become a professional model.
But in reality, her identity was that of a secret agent of the Soviet Security Service.
She was discovered by scouts, entered the modeling industry, and even met with arms dealers through this circle, all of which were arranged in advance by the KGB (National Security Council of the USSR).
The purpose is to help her successfully complete the assassination mission.
Anna did indeed live up to her mission, and after completing the double kill, she calmly walked out of the hotel.
Although the French authorities arrested Anna afterwards, the hotel video has been completely destroyed, and even the angry CIA has no choice.
It can be said that Anna only did two things in the first half of the film, walking the catwalk and killing people.
It's beautiful when you're a model, and you're cruel when you kill people.
With the early death of her parents, she was once reduced to the point of drug addiction and eating until a KGB recruited her a few years ago.
Anna's days in the KGB are inseparable from the tuning of this old woman with glasses.
Don't look at the old lady, she is the darkest senior agent in the KGB.
The heart is fierce, the wrist is particularly strong, the mind is delicate, as long as anyone is targeted by her, it must be either dead or mutilated.
Anna was questioned a lot when she first entered the KGB, so the old woman arranged an opportunity for her to "turn positive" -
Kill the target in full view of the hotel lobby. Time 5 minutes.
The task was not difficult, but when Anna pulled the wrench at the target, she found that the gun that the old woman gave her did not have any bullets in it.
Bodyguards and bullets came from all directions in an instant, and Anna suddenly realized that this was actually a trap.
Because the old lady did not believe that Anna could complete the task, so she made a "knife to kill" innings, and if she succeeded, it was a seedling, and if she did not succeed, she would die without pity.
However, she did not expect that Anna actually killed everyone with iron rods and wooden sticks, successfully completed the task, and dragged her bloodied body back to THE KGB.
Since then, she has become the old woman's right hand and left arm, and also become the ace agent of the KGB.
A beautiful agent, weapons and foreign aid are secondary, beauty is the most lethal weapon.
However, a casual habitual movement made the CIA grab her handle, and when the rows of weapons were pointed at Anna, she actually cried.
Even though her hands were covered in blood, she was still an insecure child.
She was tired of killing, tired of being afraid, and what she needed was freedom, a personality that was completely free to dispose of.
The CIA immediately issued conditions, and we can satisfy you if you want.
Once, Anna thought she could be reborn in the KGB, but in the end, she just changed from "death" to "life is better than death".
Intense training, being monitored 24 hours a day, killings without question, everything turns Anna into a monster.
She had considered quitting, but how could the KGB possibly make her just walk away?
Anna was shaken, and in order to escape, she became a double agent between the CIA and the KGB.
She was really too attractive, except for the cohabitation lesbian for Anna to turn into a licking dog,
KGB recruiters also fell under her pomegranate skirt.
Even the CIA agents who plotted against her were sympathetic to her.
Finally, the CIA gave Anna the ultimate mission to kill the KGB's top leader.
When it happens, the CIA will keep Anna safe and eliminate her files, allowing her to retire once and for all to live the life she wants.
Anna knows that this is a road of no return, but in order to regain her freedom, she begins the road to redemption alone...
Sasha Ruth, who plays Anna, as a supermodel, has her own unapproachable aura, and is really too high compared to other actors.
Especially when standing with Murphy, there is an immediate feeling of being underneath.
There's a particularly funny conversation where, after successfully plotting against Anna, Murphy (a CIA agent) asks her ambiguously,
When to have time to have dinner duck together.
As a result, in the middle of the night, Anna directly climbed onto Murphy's bed and threw her down, "There is no time to eat, so skip the step of eating and go straight to work." ”
But Anna, as a spy, is not fond of men and women, and the scene of the last two lovers nibbling on each other is also absolutely stunning.
Putting aside the ideological opposition, it is probably not a problem for three people to be happy together.
By the way, the story also plays a small reversal at the end.
Remember the old lady who trained Anna? On the surface she was conceited and self-absorbed, but anna was plotted against, and she knew from the beginning,
The reason why she let it go is to kill people with a knife, because only in this way can she naturally succeed in the position.
The overall rhythm of the movie is good, all kinds of yellow storm elements come and go, and there is absolutely no high-energy warning.
Although the structure uses not very clever interludes and flashbacks - the old routine of setting up suspense first and then revealing the secret, Sasha Ruth not only does not reveal the immaturity of the newcomer actor,
Instead, such a sensitive, weak, helpless cold-blooded killer is interpreted into three points.
The use of "laymen" with no acting experience as the protagonist of the director is not new in the industry, but not all directors can use everything.
It can only be said that Luc Besson has once again chosen the right person, and Sasha Ruth is definitely promising.
