NO.1 "Changing Face"
Released in 1997, "Changing Faces" is an action drama film directed by Wu Yusen and starring Nicholas Cage and John Travolta, and is also a masterpiece of Director Wu Yusen's conquest of Hollywood. The film tells the story of FBI agent Arthur who hunts down the horror killer Keith for 8 years, and during an exchange of fire, Keith is injured and unconscious. In order to investigate where Keith planted the deadly bomb, Arthur voluntarily changed Kester's face through high-tech cosmetic surgery. The cunning Keysy, when he woke up, put on Arthur's face and transformed into an FBI agent, and the fierce battle between the good and evil sides escalated.
The biggest highlight of this film is that John Travolta and Nicolas Cage played themselves and each other respectively, and the two of them had to pass the addiction of the decent and the villain in the same movie, and also played the role with dual personalities at the same time, which was particularly impressive. "Changing Face" not only tells a twisted and bizarre story, but also perfectly embodies the artistic qualities that are based on reality and are higher than reality. What is more worth mentioning is that in this movie, Wu Yusen incorporated the film full of Hong Kong jianghu feelings into the Hollywood action narrative, reaching the peak of his personal film history, and the wonderful interpretation of the two "big coffees" also made the film endlessly memorable.
NO.2 "Prison in the Sky"
Nicholas Cage, who had a brilliant performance in "Changing Faces", also starred in another equally wonderful film in 1997, that is, "Prison in the Air" directed by Simon West. The Air Prison is a plane specially designed by the United States to transport the most dangerous criminals in the United States, and cameron Bonn, a prisoner played by Nicholas Cage, is on this plane not because of his heinous crimes, but because he personally gives his daughter a gift on her birthday. To save time, Cameron applied for the flight. Because of his good behavior in prison, the warden granted his request. But to everyone's surprise, Cameron was accidentally involved in the hijacking incident.
As an important film in the early days of Hollywood commercial films widely entering the Chinese vision, this "Prison in the Air" is undoubtedly the memory of a generation of fans, not only because it has a fiery explosion and fight scenes, but also because the film has a clear vein, not only successfully portraying the positive hero Cameron, but also shaping a group of villains with different characteristics and distinct personalities, so how can Cameron, who is in danger, escape from this prison in the air? If you are interested, go to the film to find out.

In order to preserve his own position, Man Lu, who could not have children, designed Man Zhen to conceive Zhu Hongcai's child, and Shi Jun accidentally received a letter from the family and rushed back to Nanjing, only to find that the family was just to let him marry. Shi Jun, who has a weak personality, cannot wait for Man Zhen's letters for a long time, and finally marries Cui Zhi, who is the right door.

DreamWorks' 1997 comedy film "The Rat Catcher" is sure to make you laugh, this movie tells the story of a pair of brothers who returned to the old house left by their father because of the death of their father to live together, and accidentally found that the house was designed by the master and was worth millions of dollars, and the ecstatic two brothers decided to renovate the house for auction, but a magical mouse had already made it its home and stubbornly refused to move out of the old house.

Science fiction movies have always occupied an important position in the world of movies, and our film list is of course indispensable to revisit science fiction movies, and 1997's "Galaxy Team" had a very good reputation in that year. This film is adapted from the masterpiece of science fiction writer Robert Heinlein, "Starship Paratrooper", the film tells the story of the future world of terran and zerg duels, space elements plus guns and bullets, and a large number of bugs make the picture have a strong visual impact.
In order to compete for the right to dominate the galaxy, the Federation army and the Zerg clan launched an extremely dangerous war, before the war, the Federation Star Marshal vowed to "eliminate the Zerg", and believed that the Zerg had a low IQ and could already "count down to victory", but after the start of the war, they found that the number of Zerg was too large, and the Federation army paid a huge price. "Galaxy Team" is a magnificent science fiction war masterpiece, let us feel the vastness of the universe and the smallness of human beings, if you are a "science fiction fan", this movie is definitely worth your "make-up lessons".
NO.6 "Something to Say"
In 1997, a movie line suddenly caught fire: "An Hong, I miss you"] This line is from Zhang Yimou's film "There is something to say".
In the film, Zhao Xiaoshuai, a lovelorn young man played by Jiang Wen, is an individual bookseller, who wants to reconcile after breaking up with his girlfriend An Hong, and he is stalking and fighting. However, An Hong is in love with Liu Delong, the owner of an entertainment company, and the two who regard each other as love enemies finally fight.
"Have something to say" is a very relaxed urban absurd light comedy, the film is fast-paced, through a simple quarrel and conflict to develop into an absurd situation of the story, the film wants to express that people in society inevitably encounter contradictions and conflicts, "have something to say" is an effective way to resolve conflicts. Director Zhang Yimou uses handheld photography to shoot this film, which on the one hand makes the film more documentary, on the other hand, it also shows impetuous urban life and unique style. Compared with Zhang Yimou's other works, "Have Something to Say" released in 1997 is a more "alternative" one, which is worth watching.
NO.7 "Mindcatcher"
In 1997, there was a thought-provoking inspirational movie "Mindcatcher", which gained a good reputation. The film was co-starred by Matt Damon and his good friend Ben Affleck and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture that year. The film tells an inspirational story of talent and friendship, and Lan Bo, a mathematics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, announces a difficult math problem in the audience, but it is solved by the young cleaner Will. However, Will is a problem teenager, hanging around with his good friend Chuck and others all day long, fighting and causing trouble. When Lan Bo found this genius, he was sentenced to the detention center by the court for fighting and attacking the police. Lan Bo pleaded with the judge for bail to save him from prison.
In order to let Will find his goal in life and not waste his mathematical talents, Blue Wave asked many psychologists to tutor Will, but Will was very resistant, and the experts were helpless. With nothing to do, Rambo turned to his college friend, psychology professor Shane, hoping to help Will open the atrium. The character of Will in the film is very interesting, although he is a "genius", but he is lonely inside, he believes that genius can not be exchanged for intimacy in relationships, and mediocrity can do this. Will allowed himself to fall because he had won friendships in this way, the only support he had in the world for many years. However, through the unremitting efforts of Blue Wave and Shang En, Will gradually opened his heart, and the words of his friend Chuck made him suddenly enlightened. The film is very inspirational and touching, and after watching it, it can cause us to think a lot, and I believe that this masterpiece will not disappoint you.
