In 1996, it came along, I should have seen the film in '99 or 2000, at that time, it was still a CD (pirated Cage), the version was still Chinese dubbed (the standard was really high), and I was still a student (skinny, poor, frustrated), I didn't know anything about movies, I was confused about cars, and the only thing I needed to watch movies was probably sensory stimulation.
The film satisfied all my desires for excitement, including Cage's rivalry with his girlfriend— not surprisingly, I was developing late, there was no way out of the market at the time, and I had little computer knowledge to even understand hard drives and keyboards. This movie is called "Brave to the Island", also called "Stone Breaking the Sky", which is quite good, but the English "the rock" is really not interesting.
Movies from the 1990s didn't have as many special effects, but Daredevil Island was a classic, if not a generalized classic, an action movie classic. The so-called classic is to stand the test of time, that is, even if you appreciate it again after 20 years, you still think it is very wonderful, it is not a masterpiece of a certain year or even an era.
You're going to say suspense, it's strong! Put simply, a fake FBI mouse (Cage plays Dr. Biochemical nerd) and a 30-year-old "sweeper" (Sean Connery plays the old prisoner) team up against a group of special forces led by an angry and battle-hardened General Hammer (Ed Harris as the Big Boss). The key conflict is here.
In the end, I found why it is a classic, in addition to the fierce fights, gun battles and car chases, the biggest difference between "Brave Island" and "True Lies" and "First Blood" is that the important characters in it are not really villains, do you say that the FBI is justice? General Hammer represents evil? No!
Don't ask me why I put this picture, I won't say it
Since the focus of the film is mainly on the battle for Alcatraz Island, there are not many scenes about cars in this film, and the fierce car chase scene is only about 5 minutes, but it is enough. In just 5 minutes, Michael Bay conquered everyone - there were almost no computer traces, the camera angles, the rapid change of the camera, and the sonorous soundtrack, these 5 minutes were enough to rival Anthony Hopkins, and the 10 minutes of performance won the little golden man.
Little by little, we picked it up and started here:
The first generation of 007 actor Sean Connery escaped, snatching the rear Hummer H1, or rather hmmwv. I don't have much evidence, but I really suspect that this guy is Star Wars director George Lucas
The old prisoner ran away, the FBI reacted very quickly, but when he looked at the car, he knew that it was just a dragon suit, and the Chevrolet Caprice, which belonged to the third-generation model, began to play an important role as a passerby
Since the FBI's car is a dragon suit, the director must find a guy who can deal with humvees, so he arranges for the Ferrari F355 spider to stop at the door - a thick blood warrior in front, and a mobile and flexible thief in the back
The f355 spider was just launched in 1995, and director Michael Bay was able to use it to build it. There is a detail, Cage on the car on the floor oil, take a closer look at how many gears are hung? Maybe in the face of f355 this old iron, 3 gears are not wrong
Notice the moment Ferrari jumps out, Cage actually has another option, next to a Porsche 964. I suspect Michael Bay "vengeful", he was renting a Porsche when he was shooting Jedi X-Men
As soon as the opening dragon suit was indeed hung up, the car in the distance was the 1973 Ford gran torino, what about the yellow taxi nearby?
The unlucky egg is Chevrolet Impala, and now you see it in the United States and you will find how it is so familiar, yes, except that there is a deer on the C pillar of the body
FBI has a lot of caprice, this time extravagantly gave a close-up, less than 1 second, the camera change is too fast
Humvee hit the taxi dish, such a warrior is indeed not the average car can stop, in order to increase the tension and excitement, so the construction car came out, this is a John deere 310 d
Interestingly, just recently, BMW suddenly mixed into this "blue collar" field, and John Deere together launched an engineering concept car, the name is quite strange, called backhoe concept, we often call "two ends busy" in China.
In the face of John Deere, the Hummer also had to be instigated, the camera switched to the first perspective, next to the Ford Thunderbird (Thunderbird) in my first movie article highlighted, but at this time the Thunderbird is almost dead
The city gate caught fire, affecting the pond fish, and the Hummer dodged the john deere, so it could only squeeze the persimmon, crush, and completely crush the Volkswagen, seeing the empty front "engine" cover inside, I don't think I need to explain it. Ironically, it also has the "Peace" logo sprayed on the sides of its body
A group of FBI "passers-by" also abused the Volkswagen, and then suddenly killed a red Mercury tracer in the slash, unexpectedly, the brother of Mazda 323
Then the first climax came, a truck pulling a truck full of buckets blocked all intersections, and the Humvee slammed down a pile of buckets to try to stop the pursuers. I'm sure it's a gmc, but I don't know the specific model, but the picture above should be correct.
The Hummers were completely insane, our Cage brothers were still far away, and then the Chevrolet S-10 pickup on the left was confused – how did I suddenly go backwards? The Chevrolet S-10 seems to have been domestically produced by us, and it is related to the former pioneer (blazer) in our memory
The Hummer continues to rush left and right, this shot can see the width of the Hummer's realtm (almost 2.2 meters), the Ford second-generation taurus on the right quickly flashed, who is the taurus? Now it's called Taurus
From here, it can be seen that the yellow Ferrari is still far away, the Hummer has done something bad again, and this time it is the American version of the Ford escort - this grille is also drunk. Like the mercury tracer before him, Mazda's brother, now Chinese named Fu! astute! this!
Next to the escort this weird golf commuter-like guy is from cushman, and it can be seen that the two bundles together are not enough for the Humvee to plug the teeth, crash it!
After the Hummer hit two "little friends", it caused a fire and caused the pole to cross the middle of the road, so the FBI's caprice jumped from the 1992 taurus and came to a beautiful 360 degrees in the air plus 720 degrees in the air
The impact completely destroyed the FBI, followed by Ferrari single-handed Hummers. Including the Chevrolet suburban on the right also ended the "group performance" career, who is Ford on the left? Said later
Ferrari was able to single out the Hummer in the back because it chose another route, which passes through a car repair shop. What's the car on the left? This is an old guy, Chevrolet styleline de luxe in 1952, don't believe me? Above.
The mystery ahead, this police car is Ford's first generation crown victoria, the name is familiar, it is now a police car, and we often see its descendants in movies - New York taxis
There are too many Fords in this chase scene, and this one, no, another one, or the Ford Escort (Foo!). astute! S), but the 1991 model
Finally appeared Japanese cars, Toyota 5th generation tercel, tercel is slightly larger than the Corolla, in fact, can also be seen as a corolla bar, the name comes from the Latin "1/3"
In the tense and exciting chase, a joke was added, that is, the owner called to question Sean Connery why he stole the car. Then, in order to avoid the old lady crossing the road, the Hummer crashed into a tram, and the chain reaction began again — it was a Mercury villager
The sightseeing car performs a big drama, and after installing Mercury on the right, it immediately encounters the third generation of oldsmobile toronado. To be honest, I still like the look of the first generation, more than this trend
Tourists all jumped out of the car to escape, the director can rest assured that the bold fireworks, so the "empty nest" it went straight to these two cars, the back of the SUV is the Chevrolet Trailblazer (blazer), should be the 2003 domestic successor model, also called The Golden Cup GM
The broken car in front of the blazer is more famous, or Volkswagen, but called karmann ghia coupe, the appearance is very undegenish, yes, the Italian ghia design company design (the old Mondeo body also has this mark), the German karmann body manufacturer manufacturing
The F355 spider was destroyed, producing only 3717 units, but this one was a 6-speed manual, one of 2664. Ferrari hung up, and the blue Mazda behind the hand was also played, this Mazda pickup truck has a Ford brother ranger, and its real name is also very interesting, called rotary pickup - rotor pickup
Cage is still clever, open the door and flee after changing the means of transport to continue to chase, the picture of this car is easy to recognize, jeep cherokee
The transportation stolen from the children is Yamaha, and then the career of Cage actor has begun to fight and kill in an all-round way
Nicholas Cage
I don't want to say Cage, everyone knows it, but now it's a shame, he could have made the Coppola family more dazzling - his original surname is Coppola, the Francis Ford Coppola who directed "The Godfather", is his uncle. If you want to say which Cage work I like the most, not this one, not "Prison in the Air", "Changing Face" (directed by Wu Yusen), "Speed 60 Seconds" - "National Treasure", "Soul Chariot" or whatever, the first is "Weatherman", the second is "Escape from Las Vegas", and the third, between "Snake's Eye" and "City of Angels".
Sean Connery
It is worth admiration, but this older generation of actors, I am really not very familiar, the previous 007 is not very impressive, I remember wearing a sophisticated suit to fight, while rolling while fighting, the suit is torn. But in this film, it is really handsome, and I never thought that the old man could have such a big charm.
Michael Bay
The big director who burns money like water wants to be happy, just watch the movie he directs. Most people know him because of the Transformers movie series, and probably from Pearl Harbor. In my opinion, from "Jedi X-Men" (Will Smith + Martin Lawrence, great) to "Escape from Clone Island" (from which I met widow Scarlett Johansson), he really shouldn't have taken on Transformers, just as Depp shouldn't have played captain.
Hans. Zimmer, Don Simpson
These two do not put real people pictures, it is another way of respecting it, interested people Baidu can be. Hans. Zimmer is the god behind many movies, and many people will suddenly realize after listening to the music, it turns out that this is also Hans. Zimmer's soundtrack. And the film pays tribute to Don Simpson at the end.
Ed Harris
Emphasis on, for some reason, more and more like supporting roles, may be because the supporting roles have a wider range of play, and can be paired with more capable big names. You look at some of the films he's starred in, and give some famous examples: Tom Hanks' Apollo 13, Russell Crowe's A Beautiful Mind, Jude Lowe's Soldiers In the City, Liam Neeson's Night's Revenge, directed by Ben Affleck, Cassie Affleck (who recently caught fire in Manchester by the Sea), the Snow Train, which was slightly touched by the previous article, has his presence, and even Truman's World.
Not cattle enough? Then add the following long list: Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Robert De Niro, Tom Cruise, Al Pacino, Mark Wahlberg, Dawn Johnson, Samuel Jackson, Anthony Hopkins, Clint Eastwood – in no particular order. Oh, and Bob Dylan.
Now, if you want to see his latest work, chase the 2016 American drama "Westworld" - Anthony Hopkins is also in it.
A gift at the end
Before the end of "Brave Island", everything was calm, and after the military Humvee and F-18 were in storage, even if they went to the church to grab stool legs, the transportation was replaced by the Volvo PV 544, which represented peace.
