The 164-minute "007: No Time to Die" completes a feat perfectly, with each shot calling out the most sadistic love film, and each shot is comparable to the most concentrated sleeping pills. 007, which crossed the century and 60 years, I am afraid that I will be euthanized.
"Bond, James Bond", since the evergreen of the film industry, Sean Connery, shouted this iconic line in the first generation of 007 in the 1960s, the image of 007 has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and almost became a household name.
Until the Irishman Pierce Brosnan around the turn of the millennium, he took 007's astute, dashing, and charming to the extreme and pushed 007's image to the peak.
The Irishman's own 007 attributes and excellent performances really satisfy most people's perfect imagination of Ian Fleming's Bond.
The impeccable benchmark that Brosnan has erected is doomed to be unattainable for those who come after.
This generation of 007 Daniel Craig is like this, and since starring in Bond in 2007, it has been controversial everywhere. It can be said that how high the praise for the Irish was at the beginning, how deep the dissatisfaction with Craig was.
So the 5 episodes of 007 in the past 15 years consume the brand effect and consume the feelings that are difficult to fade for decades.
However, it would be unfair to simply blame Craig for the poor performance of the last episodes of 007, which is nothing more than a water iceberg.
So, let's take a look at what slots this generation's series 007 films have.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > casting</h1>
Admittedly, Craig in a suit has a natural Sense of British Gentleman's Sight, but you won't imagine that the dashing Bond would have such a messy picture:
In front of the powerful M, he was like a child who had made a mistake. Lacking a calm humor, a confidence and a alertness, and a gentleman. Instead, there are some more stubbornness and some impulsiveness and some recklessness:
And Ralph Fiennes, who replaced Judy Dench and played the important supporting role M, was ill-determined and mediocre:
Another indispensable logistician, the mischievous and cute Quartermaster Q. This corner is a bold attempt, in line with the aesthetic of the moment, relatively successful:
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the standard element is slightly fatigued</h1>
For example, the current Bang girl, charming and more than enough, but slightly lack of grade;
Q a variety of high-tech gadgets, the space to play is increasingly limited, almost the same.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fan screenwriter</h1>
There is no doubt that this generation of Bond will add a lot to the female audience.
Because the mercurial Bond not only talks about love, but also quietly talks about love;
Not only did Romantik talk like fancy, but he also talked like ordinary people with the same vigor, and loved to death and lived all over his body.
How does it feel? Anyway, I think it's fresh enough to be exciting, and then of course the opinions have to be retained.
When watching "No Time to Die", there are always hundreds of moments, wondering whether you are watching an action movie or a romance movie, or even a documentary?
That's right, that's how it feels. 007 played out the height of the mystery, ah, can't help but secretly blame themselves, it is really a cow chewing peony.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > summary:</h1>
The mainstream elements of the current action blockbusters are nothing more than super giants to hug the group, the scene should be hot and fresh and exciting, and how can the Chinese elements be less?
Such as rapid shock, such as extreme agents, such as special forces, and such as death squads...
These screen classics of today more or less cover the above elements.
Going it alone has become a thing of the past, and the same applies to commercial films.
Looking at the various blockbusters produced by us, we are eager to boil all the Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and mainland Dajia together.
Everything is just to serve the market.
007 comes with a heavy brand heritage, but if it does not fit the current market, does not decisively transform, does not incorporate Chinese elements, and does not have a clear product positioning, then the classic 007 series will be like Bond in "No Time to Die", tragic to die, ashes.
The brand will eventually age if it does not pull new, and the strong feelings will also be exhausted one day.
MGM, which created the pinnacle of film history" "Gone with the Wind", has aged and ushered in the Internet giant Amazon, and has also witnessed the tragic end of this generation of Bond.
Beginning with the end, the end may be a new beginning.
I really don't want to see that 007, which once swept the world, has become the memory of countless people.
Let's look forward to the dream "Bond, James Bond", to be reborn.
Believe him, you can't kill.
