"Brave to The Island" is the most representative classic of the era when American action blockbusters are in full bloom.
The release of "Daredevil Island" in 1996 was the beginning of Hollywood's action-adventure blockbusters. At that time, Hollywood made a large number of classic commercial action movies such as "Change of Face", "True Lies", "Speed of Life and Death", "Enemy of the Nation", "Independence Day" and so on.
As one of the best, Michael Bay's "Brave To The Island" transcends the classics of the times, and still seems to be tense and exciting, with endless memories, whether it is plot, color, rhythm, shots, acting, and soundtrack, it was the top level at that time. The film's masculine style and heavy atmosphere make this commercial blockbuster full of heaviness and give people deep thinking.
This is a work without urine spots throughout, and the audience is immersed in a thrilling plot from beginning to end. In "Brave to the Island", the "selling copies" hand to hand to catch the car chase rhythm, short and flat shots, with accurate fast editing technology, so that the whole film is always suspenseful, very watchable, as the plot progresses layer by layer, the protagonist experiences one thrilling scene after another, in a moment of a thousand guns to prevent General Hammer's betrayal, the destruction of the fighter.
"Brave Island" gathered some of the best Hollywood superstars at the time, "007" Sean Connery played a top British spy Mason who was unjustly imprisoned by the state, together with Dr. Stanley (the new scientist Nicholas Cage), who was not afraid of tigers, sneaked into Alcatraz to stop the veteran villain General Hammer played by veteran villain Ed Harris, who just wanted to threaten the incumbents by smuggling missiles to Rock Island, "ask for an explanation" for the soldiers killed and injured in global special operations, and ask all the people" Open truth".
In the film, there are almost no decent or villains in the traditional sense, whether it is General Hammer and his defecting soldiers, or Mason and Stanley, who have their own hearts, fight to the last moment for ideals and beliefs, and fulfill their oaths and duties. When General Hammer stopped the poisonous missiles from attacking the motherland at the last minute, and when Stan used his last breath to stop the fighter bombing, the audience finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There are too many classic bridges in "Brave to The Island". At the beginning of the film, the background of the story and the motivation of the characters are explained concisely and clearly, from General Hammer in formal clothes to his wife to "say goodbye", to Hammer leading special forces to sneak into the warehouse and steal poisonous missiles, the plot is completed in one go, the rhythm is concise and bright, and the camera efficiency is extremely high.
In the film, whether it is the dialogue between the two groups of special forces officers after being discovered by the rebels, or the rookie Stanley led by Mei Sen to pass the level, it is a classic bridge section that future generations continue to learn from. At the end of the film, the section where Stanley pulls the flare almost borrows itself several times in the Transformers series after selling copies.
As Hollywood's most well-known film score master, Hans. Zimmer cooperated with the plot of "Brave to Die Island" to create a classic soundtrack that contrasted with passion and depth, and the high-quality film soundtrack perfectly set off the theme and rendered the plot.
The classic of "Brave Island" is because of the impeccable combination of various elements, which fully demonstrates the strong creative ability and superb production level of Hollywood's mature film industry system. Today, although China has made works such as "Operation Red Sea" and "Wolf Warrior 2", it is superior to the judgment compared with "Brave To The Island".
