Tom is not old, Hollywood routines are invalid? Mission Impossible 7 is stubborn in fatigue

After brushing "Mission Impossible 7: Fatal Reckoning (Part I)", come back immediately to provide the freshest look.

The overall feeling is: the whole film reveals the stubbornness in fatigue, Tom is not old, and the story routine is no longer fresh, but Hollywood's film industry and innovation ability are still a long way ahead of us.

01. Tom is still working hard, but the routine is no longer attractive

 The "Mission Impossible" series has gone through the first six tosses, drag racing, explosions, skydiving, and climbing buildings, and the visual effects have reached their limits, and it feels like there is no "impossible task" in the world.

So, while Tom is still enthusiastic, the director is actually recycling the visual spectacle.

This time, I chose several groups of survival wonders such as cliff skydiving, low-altitude gliding, train top fights and last-car escape, which were less visual impact than the previous ones, but seeing the faintly old face of 60-year-old Tom, I felt compassion and felt that it was enough.

The plot is a consistent routine, and in order to adapt to the routine of action movies, some details are already restraining the overall play.

The core of the story is the "intelligent body" used in the weapons of war, a self-aware AI system, similar to the MOSS in "The Wandering Earth", it seems that everyone points the danger of humanity to the future artificial intelligence.

This "intellectual" system requires a key to start, which in turn consists of two halves. All the fighting in the film revolves around this key.

All forces compete for the key, all kinds of reversals, lurking, infiltration, and complexity is dizzying.

However, shouldn't the current intelligent system still have "keys" and "strings"? Mechanical keys, not afraid of being 3D printed?

Several sets of stunt shots such as cliff skydiving and carriage escape were also vigorously publicized as important breakthroughs at the beginning, saying that they jumped hundreds of times and shot 6 times, and the camera couldn't wait to scare Tom's face to prove that he personally went into battle, and there was no stand-in and face change.

Of course, we believe that Tom and Jackie Chan have such sincerity, but this is not so attractive to the audience.

The following sets of shots can also be completed with a green screen.

The box office failure of "Drug Sweep 3" shows the passing of Hong Kong police and bandit films, and "Fast 10", "Transformers" and "The Flash" have repeatedly told us that Hollywood's visual spectacle is also failing.

If you can't provide local empathy close to reality, then please give us a rich, complete, emotionally full of good story.

02. The story characters are rich in layers, and the global scenes are fantastic

 The director also realized that this sequel could not provide a breakthrough in visual impact, and he turned his attention to the richness of the story.

In the gap between various drag racing fights and gun fights to escape, "Mission Impossible 7" inserted several literary dramas that were not short of time.

In these conversations, the threats, difficulties and intrigues that the task force may face next are carefully analyzed, and the emotions of the characters are also stretched, leaving enough time for everyone to nap. Naturally, there will be people who feel that it is too procrastinating and does not conform to the usual style.

But at least, the director still strives to tell the story rich and full, not only Tom runs for a while, fights for a while, chats for a while, hangs up a role, and then another character appears. Even though you can see a lot of screenwriting routines, the director still tries to add some novelty to the routines.

This time, the first is the blurring of suspense resolution, Tom explains the task to the newly added Grace, asking her to adapt. Grace was apprehensive and hoped that Ah Tang would have a more certain idea, but Ah Don only told him that he had put her life higher.

So the process is full of uncertainty, and Grace's presence also leads to danger. It adds a touching twist to the plot.

There are also jokes from time to time in the play, such as burying Tom with a little Alto, and Grace also played with Tom's kindness and simplicity many times in the scene of the airport robbery. The action design is very similar to Jackie Chan's early comedy movies, which brought a lot of laughter to the audience.

This time, Tom not only showed his courage and wisdom, but also showed a kind and gentle side, and also obtained the help of others at critical moments.

Several of the main villains in the film are also well portrayed, such as the key boss Gabriel in the upper part.

The director created a very rich layer for Gabriel.

First, the mysterious whitebeard, a man protected by AI; Then with the mouths of others, he rendered the godfather-like character of the Mission Impossible world;

Saying that he has no identity, the embodiment of evil, he wants to share death with the world.

The way he appears has also been specially designed. unrecognizable faces; The illusion that disappears in an instant, and the mask removed from the weapon box.

All kinds of high coldness and coolness laid a thick emotional foundation for the final decisive battle.

Gabriel's Paris is played by Asian faces, the praying mantis girl in "Guardians of the Galaxy 3". played an indifferent and tough female killer in "Mission Impossible 7", which is also very cool, and it is very impressive as soon as she appears.

What's more worth mentioning is the global vision of this selection. I have to admire the openness and boldness of the Hollywood industry.

Amsterdam, the Arabian Desert, the old streets of Rome, the Venice lunchtime party, the runaway train in Innsbruck, only the unexpected, not impossible.

Each scene fully reflects the unique temperament of the local area, and the tense suspense of the film is consistent. It still reflects the world's top production standards.

03. Is the end of an action movie sci-fi?

 Although in this part, the task force snatched back the keys and solved Gabriel. But the showdown with the "intellectual body" system will not be revealed until the next next year.

 Coincidentally, the final boss identified in "The Wandering Earth 2" is also the self-aware artificial intelligence system MOSS.

When the task of human beings to challenge themselves reaches its limit, confrontation with artificial intelligence seems to be the breakthrough direction of future action movies.

In many science fiction movies in the past, we are all human beings who have been countered and destroyed by AI.

It may seem fine, but film is an art that serves humanity. The first thing that needs to be impressed is human beings, and the core task is also to establish empathy with human audiences.

Whether it is "Transformers", "The Flash", or our "Super Flying Man: Radius Accelerates", at the very least, it must provide several human characters to have a common adventure, and it is also an important carrier to provide audience empathy.

Otherwise, are we going to move for a few planes and a few cars?

This time "Mission Impossible 7" is also confirming the value of human emotions. Before Tom parachuted off the cliff, the faces of several female characters flashed back. In "The Wandering Earth", what caused MOSS to have self-awareness was also Liu Peiqiang's actions that could not let go of his deceased daughter.

In order to avoid the tracking of the intellect, the technical director Luthor decided to isolate the network and resume the use of analog signals. It seems that technology is back, and it is also a way to protect security.

This not only provides the audience with an opportunity to reflect on the future of mankind, but also reminds film practitioners that at any moment, they should not forget the empathy of characters and characters, without emotion, all routines will lose their meaning.
