"007: No Time to Die", this is a 007 movie whose ending is known from the title. The incarnation of the hero, Daniel Craig's version of 007, ends in this film.
What ending will the movie arrange for this version of 007? Walk into the cinema with this question.
As a typical representative of European and American personal heroism, the movie routines are actually similar, but Daniel's version is still different, because this 007 is made up of a series of 007s connected in series, starting from 2006's "Casino Royale" to 2021's No Time to Die.
The childhood shadow of Madeleine is explained at the beginning. Madeleine is the heroine of the previous "Spectre". In Daniel's previous 007 movies, the heroine usually only existed in one movie, but Daniel's version of 007 has the feel of a series.
So, following the first part, James Bond is living a comfortable life with Madeleine, but Madeleine still can't forget a murder case when she was a child, and this murder case is also related to the next one. The plot is closely related.
In this murder case, the masked man is the villain of this game. When Madeleine was a child, he entered her home and killed her mother. Then Madeleine fought back, but through The masked man who had taken off his body armor did not die, but continued to pursue him. As a child, Madeleine walked onto the ice lake, and then the ice cap broke and fell into the lake. At this time, the masked man caught up and stared at Madeleine under the ice.
The subsequent story is that the masked man saved Madeleine's life. As for the murder of her mother, the masked man said that her father had killed his whole family, which was considered even.
The content of this paragraph is to logically inform the audience that Madeleine may help the masked man.
Then it involves the heroine Lind in the 2006 movie "Casino Royale". This is the 007 heroine played by the internationally famous movie star Eva Green. In "Casino Royale", 007 played by Daniel fell in love with Lind, but in the end Lind died underwater in Italy.
Lind’s cemetery is in Italy. 007 and Madeleine are heading to Italy at this time. One thing is that 007 wants to go to Lind’s cemetery.
Then there is a wonderful action scene, which is said to have been shot using IMAX technology. That is to say, some of the scenes mentioned in the movie poster were shot with IMAX film cameras, which refers to this part of the action movie in Italy.
In this scene, 007 first faced the ambush in Linde's cemetery. If 007 hadn't been alert, he might have died on the spot, and then faced various pursuits.
Afterwards, 007 returned to the hotel, took Madeleine with him, and then drove away in his exclusive car. There was a car chase scene, and then 007's car was trapped in a street square in Italy. Faced with numerous besieged opponents, 007's exclusive car showed extremely strong bulletproof capabilities, and then used on-board weapons to break through the siege and go straight to the train station. At this train station, 007 deeply suspected that Madeleine had betrayed his whereabouts, so he put Madeleine on the train and the two parted ways.
After this plot was explained, the gangsters robbed the British Intelligence Agency's biochemical laboratory and took away important biochemical weapons.
It has been 5 years since we met 007 again. At this time, 007 is enjoying a leisurely vacation in Jamaica, which is also another major filming location for the film.
This content mainly explains the death of the American bearded intelligence agent, who can be regarded as an old friend of 007.
The most beautiful "Bond girl" in the entire movie also appears here, acting together with 007 to take down the remaining members of Spectre.
The next step is for 007 to put on his uniform again, fight all the way, and then go to prison to visit the big boss captured in the previous movie Spectre, that is, his adoptive father's son, hoping to obtain information, but the big brother... Biological and chemical weapons were eliminated.
Go to Madeleine’s hometown again, but Madeleine and the child were captured by the masked man.
After pulling back and forth, we finally faced the final battle. This is the third important external attraction in this game. It is a small island. According to the data, it should be Kalsoy Island, which is part of the Faroe Islands in Denmark.
Here, 007 finally launched a life-and-death struggle with the masked man.
In order to become a masked man, several special contents are placed here.
First, the masked man invited 007 to meet him, and then he escaped from the secret passage with 007's daughter. Then Madeleine broke through the guard and met 007. Then the little girl probably bit the masked man. Then the masked man let him go, let him go!
Then 007 received his wife and children, ordered another female 00 agent to take them away, and swept across the base himself.
Later, 007 wanted to open a certain protective cover in order to destroy the biochemical weapons underneath. Seeing this, the masked man quickly came to stop him. Then the two protagonists fought to the death. Although the masked man was defeated, he A certain deadly poison is delivered to 007. Its effect is that 007 cannot touch his beloved, and if he touches it, the beloved will die.
In the final attack, 007 stood on the island in a straight suit and died generously.
At the London headquarters, everyone saw that 007's heartbeat monitor was gone, confirming that 007 was dead. In a small room, these relevant people opened a bottle of wine together, and everyone drank a glass to toast 007.
Daniel's version of 007 started in 2006 and went through "Casino Royale", "Quantum of Solace", "Skyfall", "Spectre", and "No Time to Die" in 2021. Finally, the audience was given an explanation.
Think about it, Daniel took over the filming of 007 at the age of 39, and he is already 54 years old this year. Indeed, this age is really old for a hero like 007.
Unfortunately, what the audience was left with was not a very good ending. Maybe many people would not shed tears for 007’s final death after watching it, but instead felt that this was entirely a deliberate arrangement by the director. .
The director of this film is Cary Fukunaga. He directed the first season of "True Detective" in 2014 and won the Outstanding Director in the Drama Category at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.
There are also many screenwriters for this film. Among them, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a very creative and inspiring woman. She is not only a screenwriter, but also an excellent actor herself. The second season of "Fleabag" she edited won the 71st Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series.
What is strange is that excellent individuals may not be able to present a complete work to the audience through teamwork. The investment in this movie is said to have reached 200 million US dollars, but the main storyline and story logic of the entire movie are relatively slow, which makes people wonder why the director and screenwriter created such a story.
The most annoying thing about the story is that 007 died for the sake of death. The publicity said that 007 shed tears for the sake of dying. In fact, it is not so sensational at all, because the emotional foreshadowing is insufficient, and it also makes people wonder why 007 died. reason.
Because everyone knows that 007 is just a code name. In the past plots, despite going through various difficulties and dangers, 007 can always escape in the end.
What is the reason why 007 died here? Was he poisoned by the "love flower"? Just imagine, a middle-aged man has just found his wife and knows that his daughter is 5 years old and has not yet lived a good family life. Will he go back and die generously? What's more, for people like 007 who have been dealing with high technology, is there really no solution to the problem of being poisoned?
Personally, I feel that it is difficult to convince the audience why 007 must die.
This biggest point cannot be maintained, and the whole movie becomes an ordinary action movie.
In this movie, the story logic is also very confusing.
The masked man kidnapped 007’s wife and children. It seems like he deliberately attracted 007 to the villain’s base? Why is this?
Later, the masked man let the child go without any concern, so why did you catch him?
Then for the final fight between the protagonist and the villain, the masked man returned alone, so why did you escape?
So generally speaking, the villain of the masked man is a tool in the movie, used to promote the movie, and has no own position or appeal.
Overall, the action scenes of this 007 movie still maintain a high level. The action highlights this time are mainly delivered to the Cuban beauty Ana de Armas, and her acting skills and appearance It's worth it, and the audience unanimously praised it very well. Many people felt that her role was too few.
Meanwhile, the new Agent 00, played by Rashner Lynch, is a disaster. I have no idea why she was chosen as the 00 agent, and as a 00 agent, she basically did not fully utilize her 00 agent abilities throughout the film.
In short, this film is the finale of Daniel's version of 007. Although some parts are illogical, other aspects are still at the highest level of the film industry, so you can still go to the cinema and immerse yourself in these 164 minutes. Yes, after all, the major filming locations are quite beautiful, such as the glacial lakes in Norway, Italian towns, Jamaican style, Danish islands, British countryside, etc. It’s good to see these scenes.
