Thank you for your generous friends, my recommendation, my cognition can be affirmed by you, has always been the driving force for me to persevere, thank you very much!
Broadly speaking, the best action movie in the world is none other than Nolan's "The Dark Knight Trilogy", and in the broad sense, films including "Let the Bullets Fly", "The Matrix", "Memories of Murder", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Braveheart" and other films are all action movies.
However, in the subdivision, or the division of the field that is more in line with the content of the movie, "The Dark Knight Trilogy" belongs to superhero movies, "The Matrix" belongs to science fiction films, "Pirates of the Caribbean" belongs to magic films, "Braveheart" belongs to historical films, and "Memories of Murder" belongs to suspense films......
Therefore, in the subdivided field, the best action movie in the world is none other than "Spy Series", but it is more accurate to say that it is the best and most amazing spy movie in the world, and the best spy film. Like "Border Killer", it expands the breadth and depth of spy films, and is an extremely amazing action movie, a pioneer of action movies in the documentary field.
Saying that "Spy Shadow Series" is the best and most amazing spy war film and spy film in the world, who is in favor and who is against?
"Spy Series" is mainly adapted from Robert Rudrum's novel of the same name, the first part was filmed in 2002, is a virtue co-production spy action film, directed by Doug Liman, starring Matt Damon, with a cost of $60 million, won $214 million at the global box office, basically breaking even but started a masterpiece series. And with "Mission Impossible Series" and "007 Series", it is known as the world's three major spy movies.
In 2004, directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Matt Damon, "Spy 2: The Identity of Bourne" was launched, which was exchanged for $290 million at the global box office at a cost of $75 million, and 3 years later, the original team relaunched "Spy 3: Ultimatum", which won $227 million in North America at a cost of $125 million, and finally reached $444 million at the global box office.
When preparing for "Spy Shadow 4", due to the change of director, the script is not good, the cost increases, schedule conflicts and other reasons, it has not taken shape for a long time. Until 2012, directed by Tony Gilroy and starring Jeremy Renner in "Spy 4: Byrne's Legacy", at a cost of $125 million, only $289 million at the global box office, he had no choice but to invite Matt Damon back to star in "Spy 5:". "Spy 5" is still directed by Paul Greengrass, and in 2016 it cost $120 million to return to the global box office of $410 million.
The 5 "Spy Shadows" can actually be divided into 4 main stories and 1 side story, this series has the worst box office performance among the three major spy movies, but the word-of-mouth performance is the best.
"Spy 1" has a rating of 8.6 on Douban, ranking 246th in the top 250 on Douban, and 576,000 people have scored 7.8 on IMDB.
"Spy 2" has a rating of 8.7 on Douban, ranking 242nd in the top 250 on Douban, and 486,000 people on IMDB have a rating of 7.7.
"Spy 3" has a high score of 8.8 on Douban, ranking 169th in the top 250 on Douban, and 658,000 people on IMDB gave it a score of 8.0 (meeting the minimum requirements of IMDB top250).
But after "Spy 3", the fourth part without Jason Byrne and the fifth part that has become old have dropped sharply in ratings, and they only have ratings of 6.6 and 7.5 on Douban. The real king of spy war movies has completely come to an end, but as Hollywood's original ability is getting weaker and weaker, I believe it is still possible to see the rebooted version of "Spy Shadow" soon.
In terms of Luo Xue's personal perception, the most amazing thing about "Spy Series" is that the director uses a more realistic approach to show a secret agent story, and puts all the real skills of real agents on Bourne, which gives the movie a very strong credibility, just like a war movie is to "Hell Tips".
And the pace of this series is particularly fast, it can be said that almost the whole process is high-energy, so that the audience has no leisure time. But while the overall pace is fast, it slows down the pace at the junks for storytelling. Let the audience not only feel the strong rhythm of the movie, as well as the amazing realistic technique, but also tell a complete story well, and realize multiple stimulation of the senses.
What's even more rare is that this series can be said to be an extremely rare action movie in the entire Hollywood action movie desert, with tricks and fights, which is very rare in Hollywood movies. But the only pity is that from the third part, the bugs in "Spy 3, 4, and 5" began to gradually increase. Therefore, from the personal point of view of falling snow, the best is not the third part, but the second part.
The following is a serious spoiler, it is recommended that friends who have not watched it go to the movie first, and then watch the falling snow recommendation! (remember to close the barrage)
1. Stunning realism
There may not be any spy war movie or police movie that can have the same realism as "Spy Series". It seems to have moved the real spy war from the real world to the movie, where there is no heroism, only a difficult hiding under the strong oppressive force of the state apparatus.
From the perspective of the story itself, the story of "Spy Series" as a whole is extremely simple, which can be summarized as the story of the amnesiac CIA agent being hunted down by the organization, being framed by the organization and continuing to be hunted down, being hunted down again after the organizational conspiracy was exposed, and being chased and killed again after being troubled for no reason.
Compared with "Mission Impossible Series" and "007 Series", the story of "Spy Series" is as bland as water, and its reflection on the public and private use of political figures, although it is touching, is not deep, but it is far less profound than Korean movies, nor is it as shocking as the political sensitivity of "Border Killer", but "Spy Series" has a very strong sense of reality.
This sense of realism is a realistic representation of every character or every character in the movie, such as the American embassy in Switzerland in the first film, and the subsequent troops are so swift and professional that even if Bourne is skilled, he can only run away, which is very different from the cool popcorn movie like "The Beekeeper".
At the same time, the most amazing thing about "Spy Series" is the interlocking story, as well as a strong sense of crisis, without any sense of pretending to be X.
For example, Bourne, who lost his memory in "Spy 1", went to a Swiss bank because of the Swiss bank's number, and knew about the "stumbling block" plan and multinational passports, but because the bank had a CIA informant, Bourne was forced to flee to the embassy, but he was interrogated because of his strange actions, and he subconsciously took action, and met the heroine when he escaped. Because he had a Paris address in his passport, he went to Paris to check his identity......
It can be said that the story of the movie is interlocking, like an extremely sophisticated instrument, each gear is buckled with each other, and only after getting the A clue will there be a B clue, and then a C clue. This is completely different from the "Mission Impossible Series" which relies on masks and "007 Series" which relies on technology for its turns, and it is also more realistic.
At the same time, a big reason for the success of "Spy Series" is Bourne's strong anti-reconnaissance awareness, or crisis consciousness engraved in his bones, which is most obvious in "Spy 1" and "Spy 2".
For example, after Bourne slept in a Swiss park, after encountering the patrol and knocking him unconscious, the first thing Bourne did when he escaped was to take off the most impressive red down jacket and prefer to walk in the winter in a wind-leaky sweater. After discovering that he was wanted by the CIA and being pursued by the Paris police, he immediately threw away the car and said: "You can never come back to this car, we will wipe it clean, I will erase the fingerprints".
At the same time, including changing the heroine's hairstyle, sending the heroine to the hotel to explore the layout of the hotel where he lives in Paris, calling as long as he doesn't refuse at the first time, he finds someone, and hangs up the phone immediately, and when he sees the police on the side of the road, he can guess that he has been exposed, and the CIA director is actually to install a car tracker and other details, all of which show the vigilance and anti-reconnaissance awareness of the male protagonist of the "Spy Series".
Even, if you watch "Spy Shadow" carefully plus Yingzong "Stealth Tracking", you can directly become a super powerful anti-reconnaissance expert.
It is precisely because of these details that this movie is full of realism, it is like "Hell's Sharpshoot", it is not a simple movie, but a rare teaching film. But this movie is good, not only because of the truth of the male protagonist's motivation for the story, but also because of the blessings of photography, rhythm, etc.
2. Super sense of rhythm
In Hollywood, and even in the entire action movie world, it is basically difficult to find such a rhythmic action movie. It's not like "Raid 1" or "007: Quantum of Solace" that uses a lot of action scenes, but forgets about the characterization of the characters.
Each of the Mission: Impossible films is always in a near-parity, or a more powerful setting on the CIA side, where Bourne is always on the hunt, and then the need for this parity creates a very strong sense of tension. Byrne needs to escape the CIA and local police in pursuit, while also finding his past and punishing the perpetrators.
Similarly, although the CIA has more resources, because Bourne's force value and alertness are top-notch, the CIA often can't find people and fails various missions. Therefore, the CIA is also extremely nervous, and needs to find out where Bourne is, what Bourne is trying to do and so on at any time and as soon as possible.
It is precisely because of this kind of almost evenly matched contest between the enemy and the enemy that the movie is always in an extremely urgent sense of tension, which is an advantage that action movies such as "Mission Impossible" and "007", and even "Ace Agent" and "Avenger".
But in addition to being nervous, the director will also set up relatively many literary dramas to tell the whole story clearly, and shape the characters of the movie, so that the story can be watched. Among them, the biggest reason for the low score of "Spy 5" is that the movie is tense throughout the whole process, and there are many action scenes, but the storytelling is forgotten, so that half of the movie is played, and a large number of viewers are not clear about what is being told.
Therefore, it can be unceremoniously said that the rhythm of "Spy Series" is very strong, and only "Mission Impossible Series" can be compared to it, but "Mission" lacks the tension created by "Spy".
At the same time, in order to increase this tension and increase the realism of the film, the film adopts shaky handheld photography throughout the whole process, and adopts the photography method of sharp push and pull in scenes such as big cities, making the film a news feature similar to candid shooting. Although the shaking hurts people's eyes, it does make the movie more tense and more realistic.
In addition, another advantage of "Spy Shadows" has to be said is that it is extremely good fighting, and it is extremely rare to see action movies with moves, routines, and dodges in the action movie desert of Hollywood.
For the first time, the apartment battle in "Spy 1" appeared in a battle that did not rely on resistance to beatings and size advantages, and in "Spy 3", the battle between Bourne and the killer can even be on par with Chinese action movies, with fast and violent fights, rules, routines, hard bridges and hard horses, and mutual casualties. Byrne's flushed face and the twitching flesh on his face when he strangled the other party with all his strength showed the ferocity and reality of this big battle.
The only drawback is that in these two fights, the credit of cinematography and editing is greater, and there is no sense of beauty and power in the toilet war in "Disc 6".
But in addition to the photography and fighting, the car chase scenes in this series can be said to stand at the top of the car chase scenes, especially the car chase battle between the little yellow car and the big G in "Spy 2" is the most beautiful.
Not to mention that compared with the drag racing scenes in other action movies, just by comparing the inside of "Spy Shadows", you can see the reality of the damage of the little yellow car. The extremely obvious installation marks are actually the director's dedication to the movie. So which one is better inside "Spy Shadows"?
3. Who is the best?
Good and bad are always very subjective feelings, and everyone just sticks to what they like. However, from the perspective of falling snow, the best is "Spy 2", which is more mature than "Spy 1".
Starting from "Spy 3", although the movie score has hit a new high, there are so many bugs in the movie that it is not like "Spy Shadow". Take "Spy 3" as an example, after seeing Bourne's strong judgment, the reporter can still come out and eat guns in Bourne's repeated admonitions, which is extremely deliberate. Moreover, the glass of the CIA headquarters building is not protected from peeping, and the window of the CIA training building is shattered with a slight bang.
At the same time, the CIA director who told the reporter intelligence was easily blown up, and he was not familiar with the CIA's assassination methods? The killer did not even repair his gun after killing the defector and stuning Bourne, which was too unprofessional.
And since "Spy 3", the overall story of the movie has begun to become more far-fetched, and in "Spy 5", this far-fetched force has reached a new peak, that is, forcibly linking the CIA and Bourne, "Spy 5" has nothing to do with Bourne, and it is too far-fetched to be linked together (but I like the history of the heroine of "Spy 5", but unfortunately I lost to Bourne's protagonist halo, and it would be cool to be able to disrupt Bourne).
Moreover, since the third part, Bourne's alertness has dropped several levels, and even basic anti-reconnaissance operations such as undressing and cutting hair are gone, which is basically equivalent to hoping that the CIA can find him quickly.
Therefore, in Luoxue's opinion, the best "Spy 2" in the "Spy Series"!
In addition, it should be noted that in terms of action scenes, "Spy Shadow" is not outstanding in the action film industry, it is above the passing line, and it has not yet reached the level of excellence. But in terms of spy war films and spy films, "Spy Shadow" is indeed incomparable, and it is the best spy film and spy war film in film history!
Okay, let's talk about it here today, I think what Luo Xue said still makes some sense, so please turn it to a comment, just give one, I want to understand a movie from different dimensions, if you want to watch a good movie, please pay attention to Luo Xue, thank you!
Thank you for your rewards, compared to a few yuan, Luoxue is more pleased that my ideas and my cognition can be affirmed by you. In the vast sea of people, it is a rare happiness in life to be appreciated by you. I can't say thank you, but I can only say thank you!
