How did the director of "Ace Agent 2: Golden Circle" blend American and British styles in a movie?
The highly anticipated "Ace Agent 2: Golden Circle" swept through, and the packed hot explosion scene in the cinema was enough to see the wonderful film. After reading this film review, a word "cool" surrounds the whole body. Violence aesthetics and British humor go hand in hand, and the combination of * * * makes this film brilliant.

"

"Ace Agent 2" is a sequel to the upgraded version. Whether the young and charming young movie star "Talen Eggerton" shows British elegance with a sulky face, or the arrogant American cowboy's "gun and fire" fight, or the cool and eye-catching high-end science and technology agent show, the film can be said to attract the audience's attention with a busy situation, making you stare at 139 minutes.

"

"Ace Agent 2: The Golden Ring" is a British spy film shot by a British director in Hollywood, which combines Hollywood special effects. It has the usual characteristics of English movies: gentlemanly demeanor, black comedy and British cold humor.

"

In just a few minutes, the director creatively explained to the audience the feud between the hero and the number one enemy, and performed the fierce struggle between the hero and the one-armed enemy made of steel in the car.

"

In English movies, there will never be an American cowboy film, dressed in rags, covered in blood, hideous and gnashing his teeth. For example, the American gunfight is similar to Jeet Kune Do in Bruce Lee, the British violence is more similar to Jackie Chan, and the duet is full of humor, just like a juggling performance.

The most pleasing thing is that the gunfight in the film runs through it with fast-paced pop music, which makes people feel that this is a nightclub dance performance.

background music

The background music of the whole film is just right, which makes people have to admire the aesthetic pattern of the whole director team. Whether it is pure music accompanied by various action scenes or hippie music that makes people feel relaxed after listening, it not only sets off the atmosphere of the film, but also plays an important role in promoting the development of the narrative plot and enhancing the appeal of the film.

There are many high-tech images in the film, such as robotic arms, super cars and mechanical dogs, but there is no traditional Hollywood realistic documentary style. Even fierce mechanical dogs are "cute". High-tech in Hollywood blockbusters is more like writing a paper, which is the "terminator" of cold face. Although the British-style black technology is also a big brain hole, it is much softer and full of humanity, just like the second-dimensional animation.

"

Whether it is the wonderful arc drawn by bullets penetrating the body and bringing out wonderful music, or the cowboy in the west draws a powerful circle in the sky with an electrified whip. The bloody killing scene is full of rhythm and tension in the director's ingenuity, which greatly satisfies people's visual taste buds.

"

What I admire most about the screenwriter is that he controls the rhythm and duration of the film "instantly", that is, it will not give people a tense rhythm of killing scenes like traditional martial arts shootouts, nor will it make people sleepy like black humorous movies.

Instead, add a little lyrical and gentle scene to the tense gunfight film, and solve the problem with a joke when the audience's nerves are hung to the most nervous.

"

For example, in the climax of the film, when the hero and Harry fight the devil together, when Harry is helpless in the face of the steel dog who is not afraid of bullets, a clown-like "pianist" suddenly appears, and the steel dog system automatically recognizes as a "friend" and opens the friendly mode, which can't help but make the audience laugh again and again.

"

Speaking of the use of lens language in the film, many wonderful transitions in the film have made me a film lover feel refreshed, such as the transition from herbs to jungle. Many transition shots are just right and unobtrusive, which makes the audience's visual thinking naturally transition to the next link while attaching to the scene, which is enough to see the intention of the director team and is amazing.

The characterization of this film is very typical. From the first season, the protagonist acted rashly, and the ordinary teenager not only grew into a regular army of ace agents, but also shouldered the heavy responsibility of revenge and rejuvenation after the collapse of the entire secret service team.

"

In the film, many details are used to describe the growth and evolution of the protagonist. In the face of Harry's amnesia after injury, he became the role of restoring Harry's memory and returning to the secret service team. The hero at this time is an emotional brother. In order to carry out the task, he remained loyal to his girlfriend in the face of the temptation from women. At this time, he is a faithful believer in love.

"

It is through this exquisite detail description in the film that the role of the film is no longer flat, but presented to us as a vivid and three-dimensional plump image.

"

English humor is a kind of cold humor. No smile, but full of joy; No tears, but full of affection. It must be affirmative, but the tone is deliberately questioned; Obviously ironic, but more serious. Like a sweet, fresh and harmless little lemon. It looks almost like an orange, but when you bite it, oh, it's sour!

"

But unfortunately, in the second half of the film, although the director tried to change the scene and adopted more action scenes than in the first season, he could not hide the slowness of the plot.

I believe that the director at that time had forgotten the "Occam razor effect" when he created the story. Simplicity is beauty, and too much patchwork is unnecessary. So it's a bit complicated to stop and go back to the tropical jungle to start the "ultimate duel" after the "ski resort war".

However, the cool spy show and violent aesthetics are intertwined in the film, and American technology and British humor Qi Fei make this film a feast that makes people laugh.

"Ace Agent 2: Golden Circle" can be called "the most wonderful Hollywood action movie of the year", and it really deserves its reputation.
