Tom can still fight, but the "spy girl" also began to save the world

Didn't save it.

Walking out of the cinema, I just wanted to put aside all sanity and give this film a perfect score.

It cured my age anxiety –

The 61-year-old man, this time no longer picked up the plane or jumped off a tall building, but jumped off a cliff.

In addition to sweaty palms, this one even surprisingly features four main female characters.

They are not vases, not tool people, but important roles in today's increasingly boring Hollywood blockbusters that allow "Mission Impossible 7" to maintain the dignity of blockbusters.

01 The "spy girl" who fought side by side with Tom

For many people, the most heart-pounding scene in "Mission Impossible 7" is Tom jumping off a cliff.

Continuing the "don't die" spirit of the second rock climbing, the fourth Burj Khalifa, and the fifth climbing plane, this one, he jumps off a 4,000-foot cliff on a motorcycle without a stand-in.

At that moment, the sound froze, only the whirring sound of air flow through could be heard, and it seemed that the entire theater did not dare to breathe and entered a "quiet place".

As someone who has cycled through the behind-the-scenes specials dozens of times since last year, seeing such thrilling scenes is more happy than nervous.

The scene that really made my heart beat faster was the "galloping" that obviously didn't have a big scene, but it completely broke down my emotions.

The scene was like this.

Ethan, together with Ilsa and Grace, goes to snatch a key that can control the world, but the communication is interfered with by AI, Grace meets the villain, and Ethan is caught in another bitter battle.

At this time, Ilsa appeared.

On a small bridge, she fights with the villain Gabriel, and a knife hits her chest...

He's dead? Stuck off?

As soon as the camera turned, it was Tom running against the light in the alley, and at this moment, my heart also mentioned the eyes of my throat.

For the "Mission Impossible" series, Ilsa is not as simple as a simple "spy girl".

Ilsa's earliest appearance is in the fifth part.

It can be said that she is the first female character in the entire "Mission Impossible" series to exude personal charm rather than a vase.

In that one, Ilsa, wearing a long dress and high heels, gave a wonderful assassination scene in the opera house.

It's not just beauty or sassy, she shows more initiative to be on an equal footing with the absolute protagonist Ethan.

Later, we also learned that this mysterious, cold, and highly intelligent woman not only saved Ethan's life at a critical moment, but also completed the task side by side with Ethan.

It is precisely because of this that by the sixth and seventh parts of "Mission Impossible", she undoubtedly reappeared.

So what worries us so much is just because of the departure of an acquaintance? Of course not.

In the first half of "Mission Impossible 7", there are some flashbacks, which are the scenes where the villain Gabriel kills his wife.

Such an emotional drive makes him lose his mind at any time when facing villains.

But for the audience who chased five or six or seven to watch it, they will find that the emotional connection between Ethan and Ilsa is actually more worrying.

Initially, they appeared as adversaries.

Or the scene in the opera house, she and Ethan have very different goals: one to kill the prime minister, the other to save the prime minister.

Later, she and Ethan had to join forces and gradually cultivated an unbroken relationship.

At the end of the fifth part, many people expected her to have a kissing scene when she and Ethan parted, but no, she just hugged Ethan and left.

In the sixth part, they are more just confidants, and in the opening scene of the seventh part, Ilsa can guess that the opposite side is Ethan based on the reflection of a telescope, and the two have reached a very tacit understanding.

On the balcony, Ilsa leaned on Ethan's shoulder, but soon she lost her soul.

The most unacceptable thing for me is that Ilsa died.

A relationship, we have witnessed its germination and development, but before it blossoms and bears fruit, it withers.

The point is that she did not die to save the protagonist, but to save another "spy girl" who she had never met. This is also the reason why many people are worried.

02 Is Ilsa really dead?

Although I don't want to admit it, from the expression of the plot, it is indeed dead.

There is a detail that before the two took the boat to carry out the mission, Ilsa in the camera has been looking at Ethan affectionately and has never diverted her gaze.

She probably knew that this time, it was her last night with Ethan.

It is complicated to explain, simply put, this time the villain they face is not Gabriel, but AI, an artificial intelligence that can exhaust all human choices.

In the AI's calculations, they had only two outcomes: either Ilsa died or Grace died.

And the key to defeating AI is in Grace's hands, how does Ilsa choose?

At the beginning of the movie, when Ethan rescues the fraudulent Ilsa and tells her, "You are dead", she can actually stop talking.

But when Ethan got into trouble, she came back. Because there is affection, or that layer of unbroken love.

That night, when Ethan let her go far and the villain Gabriel intercepted Grace, she could completely ignore it.

But she still shows up, because she knows that Gabriel is the culprit who caused Ethan's nightmares all along, and only by guarding Grace's key can she defeat the other party.

On the surface, she gave her life for Grace, who she never knew, but in fact, it was all for Ethan.

And one more detail.

Ilsa's final duel with Gabriel uses a long sword, and with the accompaniment of orchestral music, her movements are not desperate, but like a dance.

Reminiscent of the opera's "Turandot" when she appeared, why is this not an elegant exit?

But is Ilsa really dead?

Don't forget, the next day, when Grace blamed herself for killing Ilsa, Luthor said, "No, she's alive because of you."

This phrase is just to express "Ilsa lives in our hearts"?

I think this sentence may have another meaning hidden in it.

The AI's predictions are based on the existing conditions, what if Ilsa will calculate? Create the illusion that you are dead and mislead the results of the next derivation of AI?

You know, she has already lied to death once at the beginning, which is not a problem for her.

If so, then Ilsa will become a ghostly existence, a bug outside the scope of AI's "field of vision".

This is the real "ghost protocol".

03 Spy girls, more and more important

Judging from the context of the recent "Mission Impossible", it has long departed from the original male-dominated female vase creation mode, and women have become more and more important.

Not only is the emotion becoming more and more delicate, but even the character itself is no longer attached to the protagonist.

Take "Mission Impossible 7" alone, four main female characters appear in the movie.

Ilsa and the White Widow are characters who have existed in the previous work, and they either compete with Ethan or work together, whether in the plot or in the balance of power, they have almost achieved the point of equality with the protagonist.

What's more, their personalities are so distinctive and impressive.

The same goes for the new addition of Grace.

On the one hand, in terms of ability, she is on a par with Ethan, she is not only a thief, but also a thief with high intelligence.

The airport scene at the beginning.

She first stole the fake key from the target person, and then stole the real key from Ethan, a series of elusive operations, I am afraid that Ethan himself is ashamed of himself.

Later, she stole a paper clip quickly and became an important prop for her golden cicada shelling.

On the other hand, she never trusted Ethan unconditionally like other women in spy films.

At the White Widow party, Ethan vowed to keep her safe, but she still didn't believe him and eventually fled.

Even later, Ilsa's sacrifice, she had nowhere to go, so she had to join forces with Ethan, but she was still suspicious.

When Ethan asked her to get on the train first, her first reaction was to take a few steps back and then turn around and stand in the dark.

When she thought that there was really no way, she turned to Ethan and said, "Promise me, you will definitely show up on that train." ”

Yes, women are becoming more and more autonomous in the "Mission Impossible" series, they may be selfish, they may be cowardly, but they will not be like a vase, only become a tool to stimulate the action of the male protagonist.

It's like Ilsa ended up on that bridge, just like White Widow ended up on the opposite side of Ethan.

Even if it is a small role with few scenes, the villain Gabriel's killer Paris, finally saved Ethan without completing the so-called transformation of good and evil, for her, this is just no longer owing Ethan favors.

So on that basis, I'd rather believe that Ilsa's death, at least, harbors information that we don't yet know.

Leave it for the next part.

Conclusion:

There is no doubt that even the most outstanding scenes and excitement are not mentioned, this "Mission Impossible 7" is a standard masterpiece.

It conforms to all my imaginations of blockbusters, and it also retains the dignity of blockbusters under the tide of Hollywood "political correctness".

Not to mention, Tom's dedication and hard work are enough to become a model for any actor in any country at the moment.

The data says it all, the reputation of this "Mission Impossible", on Rotten Tomatoes, freshness is as high as 96%, IMDb, Douban are all more than 8 points, even the harsh metacritic, also gave a high score of 81 points.

As far as this year's Hollywood blockbusters are concerned, it's definitely in the first echelon.

Unfortunately, the film was released domestically, with a box office of only 184 million in the first weekend, and the final box office prediction is likely to be inferior to "Mission Impossible 4" 11 years ago.

The result of an excellent commercial blockbuster is such a pity and a loss.

Perhaps the new generation of viewers is no longer familiar with Tom, but before that, we hope that those who do things with their hearts will be rewarded with due rewards.

A high-quality work should find the audience it should find.
