The Return of the Déjà Vu Pigeon – "Becoming Agent"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Becoming a Secret Agent".
Title Spies in Disguise (2019), alias Agent Change (Hong Kong) / Agent Transformation (Taiwan) / Changeable Spy King / Flying Pigeon Agent Team / Camouflage Spy / Spy Camouflage / Pigeon Spy.
At the end of 2019, the animated film "Becoming a Secret Agent" was released, starring Shi Huang and Dutch brother, focusing on the secret agent element.
This film is like the configuration of "Brother Dragon and Mouse", an ace agent with a rookie, a new rookie, completes a difficult agent mission, once again saves the world, and sprinkles love all over the world.
The main element of "Becoming a Secret Agent" is a secret agent, and the final point of view is "transformation".
How to complete the transformation point problem became the key to the film. The treatment of "Agents of Transformation" is not optical stealth and morphology at the physical level, but DNA recombination at the biological level.
In the film, the DNA of people is broken up and recombined into the DNA of pigeons through special drugs, and people become birds. Comedy elements are also mostly concentrated here, and between people and birds, various jokes emerge endlessly.
As a comedy movie, "Becoming a Secret Agent" has a mediocre laugh as a whole, nothing more than rearranging and combining the old terriers of the past on the basis of people turning into birds, and there is not much innovation.
The most nostalgic thing is that this secret agent-themed animated movie feels very similar to Spider-Man: Hero Expedition. In fact, it is a live-action version of "Spider-Man: Hero Expedition" with a shell, turned into an animation, repackaged, and completed.
"Becoming Agent" gives people a similar feeling, on the one hand, the actors are largely repeated from Spider-Man: Hero Expedition, the protagonist Tom Holland and the villain Ben Mendelsohn are also the protagonists in Spider-Man: Hero Expedition, on the other hand, the plot setting overlaps a lot.
The protagonist of the film, Walter Walter Beckett, is a young man full of whimsy and wants to sprinkle love all over the world, even if he is responsible for developing offensive weapons in the secret service agency, he still does not forget his original intention and tries to turn weapons into big toys. This coincides with Spider-Man's philosophy of not killing, hoping to impress his enemies in the most gentle way.
The villain Killian Killian is completely a mysterious person's sense of sight, commanding thousands of drones and carrying out various illegal and criminal activities.
The main attack methods of the villain and the main countermeasures of the protagonist give people a sense of déjà vu. Especially when thousands of drones appear, it feels as if they ran the wrong set, and a set of things played by the mysterious guest is simply reproduced in an animated way.
Walter and Killian go back and forth, have a lot of fun, and join the light-hearted jokes needed for comedy cartoons, like a recap of Hero Expedition.
Another protagonist, Lance Sterling, is a star agent in the Secret Service who likes to go it alone. This character chooses black skin and chooses Shi Huang's voice, mainly because of his box office appeal, the fundamental reason is to take care of political correctness, otherwise according to hollywood practice for decades, it will definitely be a white character.
Lance is self-conscious and powerful, likes all kinds of high-explosive weapons, and is eager to surprise all enemies in minutes. After such a cruel character appeared on the scene, his task became to be responsible for contrasting cuteness and further flattering Walter.
Under Walter's "persistence", the plot develops in the direction of young and old, and the original hatred of fighting each other has become an ocean of love and joy. This is also the unique charm of cartoons.
The film returns to universal values, and when it is time to repay each other with violence, only by relying on the embrace of love can we impress each other, and everyone seeks common ground while reserving differences to achieve great unity. Walter's idea is good, and the villains in the cartoon are very cooperative, but this kind of transcendental cosmopolitan can only be achieved in animated films.
Aria of Love and Peace,
Déjà vu pigeons return.
