[Edit this paragraph] Plot introduction

Harry Tasker is a man codenamed "Omega" An agent of the espionage organization, he is proficient in 6 languages ??and can operate a variety of high-skill espionage methods. At this time, he was ordered to investigate a case of stealing and transporting 4 nuclear bombs planned by an Arab terrorist organization. Due to the need for national security, Harry has not revealed his true identity to his wife Helen for a long time, but pretended to be an ordinary businessman. They also have a teenage daughter. Over time, Helen became bored with her husband, and her rebellious daughter Dinah also obeyed her "outdated" father.

On the one hand, because of her husband's "indifference" to her, and on the other hand, due to the dull life and cumbersome housework after marriage, Helen began to hang out with Simon, a car dealer, and Simon, who claimed to be a "spy", was romantically involved. The exciting story made her heart sway. Sensitive Harry noticed the changes in his wife and began to track Simon and found that he was just a used car salesman who only took advantage of some women's desire for excitement to seduce them. After figuring out Simon's ins and outs, Harry asked his partner Jeep to help and used his espionage skills to detect Helen's whereabouts.

During a date between Helen and Simon, Harry pretended to be a fake special police officer and captured them, revealing Simon's cover. In order to surprise his wife, he pretended that Helen had been involved in terrorist activities. If she wanted to atone for her sins, she must work for his espionage organization, otherwise her husband and daughter would be in danger. Her code name was " Doris" will receive instructions from "Polis". Helen had no choice but to agree.

Once, Harry disguised himself as "Polish" and ordered Helen to "act". Just as Harry was "threatening" her, a group of terrorists rushed in and kidnapped them as hostages to the Caribbean. On a tropical island. This small island is the base of the terrorist organization "Red Jihad", and it was the leader of this organization, Aziz, who stole the nuclear bomb.

Harry's identity as an agent was exposed. Aziz held Helen with a sharp knife and forced Harry to tell the secret of the nuclear bomb. Harry had no choice but to tell Aziz: "The nuclear bomb contains 14.5 kilograms of refined uranium, and the explosive force after detonation can reach 30,000 tons." Aziz commented to the camera, shouting that unless the US military withdraws from the Persian Gulf, a major city in the United States will be destroyed every week, and said that the first target of the attack will be Miami.

Helen then discovered that her husband was actually a great agent. Since Harry had placed a surveillance device in her handbag, Tom and others from the Ministry of National Defense flew to the rescue based on the surveillance. . At the same time, Az also discovered the device and found photos of the couple and their daughter Dinah. The terrorists then began to torture Harry, but Harry, who had received special training, struck first and escaped with Helen. Aziz and the terrorists planned to transport nuclear bombs out of the country and activated the timer of one of the nuclear bombs. For the sake of national security, Harry risked his life to stop Aziz's plot and blew up the base of the "Red Jihad" organization. During the shootout, Helen fell into the clutches of the devil again.

Azi ordered three nuclear bombs to be loaded on trucks and transported to Florida, and the other one was transported to Miami by helicopter himself. At this time, special police from the Department of Defense arrived, and the U.S. Air Force used "Harrier" fighter jets to blow up the bridge leading to Florida from the island with missiles. The truck and the nuclear bomb fell into the sea together. Helen and the female terrorist Jenna also fought in the car. At the critical moment, Harry rescued Helen. But cunning terrorists kidnap their daughter Dinah and threaten to detonate another nuclear warhead in Miami. Harry flew a Harrier fighter jet to Miami and used a missed missile to eliminate the terrorist Aziz and his subordinates. At the same time, he rescued his daughter Dinah and saved the city... A year later, Harry accepted " "Omega" mission, however, this time he has a partner beside him——Helen.

[Edit this paragraph] Deconstruction of the film

An action movie with a plot. Director James Cameron used a "James Bond" style film routine to give the film a certain social reality theme and a romantic comedy color. This film can be called another milestone in his director's career. At the same time, this film is also one of the best films starring movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger. His performance in this film is regarded as a major breakthrough. International film critics unanimously believe that this action blockbuster It is a symbol of the superstar's rise again.

The uniqueness of the film lies in its grand scenes, extraordinary magnanimity and strong action. In this classic entertainment film, almost every scene and every paragraph is worthy of praise, and even the many cutscenes are not slack at all. It is not an exaggeration to call it a classic. In order to film this film, the U.S. Air Force also dispatched Harrier fighter jets and launched air-to-ground missiles to match the plot of the film. The film's real-life shooting made many thrilling scenes colorful and exciting, indicating that the sophisticated production of Hollywood action films has been improved to A new extreme.

For ordinary Chinese audiences, this film once set off a viewing craze in the mainland film market, and is also considered to be the beginning of China's import of Hollywood blockbusters.

[Edit this paragraph] Related comments

This film is a classic among the action movie classics of the 1990s and one of the best films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. , is also another milestone in the work of director James Cameron. For ordinary Chinese audiences, this film is also the beginning of China's import of Hollywood blockbusters, which once set off a movie-watching frenzy in the mainland film market.

In this classic entertainment film, almost every scene and every paragraph is remarkable, and even the many cutscenes are complete and not slack at all. It is called Being a classic is never too much. In the more than two hours of film, there are four large-scale action scenes. Although it's not too much, each one is filling and amazing.

The first fight scene is the prologue at the beginning of the film. The "Mission: Impossible" 2 years later has many similarities with this scene, except that this is a successful operation, and the gunfight scene takes up More proportion. There aren't many scenes of Schwarzenegger fighting his way through the snow, but his strength, speed, marksmanship, judgment, and composure are all on display. It's an excellent prelude to show off the character's abilities.

What impressed the audience the most was the shot of Schwarzenegger turning back to subdue the vicious dog while running, with ease, calmness and cleanliness.

After the audience calmly watched a few slow-paced and humorous cutscenes, the film started on time in the first third of the film with a larger action scene. Schwarzenegger dealt with the two minions without much effort and began a formal battle with Aziz, the terrorist leader of the "Red Force". The plot soon turned to Schwarzenegger chasing Aziz. This chase did not use the most cliché car chase, but a whimsically staged and interesting scene of a horse chasing a motorcycle. Aziz drove the motorcycle in front, and Schwarzenegger rode behind. The two chased him from the street to the hotel lobby, and then from the ground to the rooftop. It goes without saying that it is tense and thrilling, but several humorous scenes are even more unforgettable. The band in the hotel lobby played out of tune when they saw the motorcycle, and the sound they made when they saw the horse was simply disgusting; Schwarzenegger riding a horse The awkward reaction of a couple when entering the elevator was also hilarious. In the end, Aziz rushed off the rooftop, and Schwarzenegger actually wanted to give chase. However, the result after arousing the audience's appetite was a small trick, which shows the brilliance of the director.

The film then spends a long period of time pondering the "true lies" pointed out in the film's title in a humorous way. This title-breaking passage is not thrilling at all. What is outstanding is the wonderful plot design and the actors' humorous performances. Schwarzenegger's acting skills obviously fell behind in this "literary" section, and the limelight was stolen by Curtis, who played his wife, and Billy Paxton, who played the ridiculous used car salesman. Paxton would star in Twister two years later, and his role here showcased his talent for comedy.

After Curtis danced a famous "dance", the film entered the second half. Schwarzenegger and his wife teamed up to destroy the terrorist base. Humorous details are always interspersed with tense and thrilling gunfight action scenes, allowing the audience to get sensory stimulation while keeping their spirits relaxed. The second half of the film is two closely connected large-scale action scenes, and there are so many wonderful things that it is difficult to list them all. The most talked-about ones are the scenes where fighter jets attack trucks on a sea-crossing bridge, rescue his beloved wife on Schwarzenegger's helicopter, and the vertical takeoff and landing of fighter jets rampaging across the city. These big fight scenes are the highlight of the entire film, fully demonstrating Cameron's ability to direct luxurious scenes.

Strictly speaking, this film written by Claude Chiti (a famous French screenwriter and director, who recently directed the French super blockbuster "Confrontation with Caesar") does not represent Cameron's true love. style. The script emphasizes the comedy feel of the film rather than the strong violence of the industrial era, and has a lot of French flavor. Judging from the picture, Cameron has given up on the image style that emphasizes muscle and strength and is rich in rough texture, and has developed into a post-industrial image style represented by silver-gray new material metal. It must be said that if Cameron did not have such a film to experiment with another style in images, then he might not be able to adapt to the visual effects in his next important work "Titanic" that are almost completely different from his earlier films. . Choosing the right image style in the right era is a key to Cameron's success.

This is a luxurious action blockbuster. The director is a master of luxury blockbusters and the actors are also connoisseurs of luxury blockbusters. Coupled with sufficient financial support, it is difficult not to become a classic. However, the most rare thing about the film is the use of comedy elements. It is these humorous plots and details that prevent the film from becoming a boring collection of luxurious scenes. This is the secret to the success of luxury films, and this is where the difference lies.

——"Chicago Sun-Times"

This film made Cameron famous in the field of action films. His status as a famous name in directing action films is unshakable.

——The famous New York film critic Harrison Seaman

I like dramas full of lies. To me, this kind of film reflects the unknowability of human nature.

I also love Schwarzenegger's portrayal of a spy: on the one hand, he's an ordinary family member; on the other, he's an incredible agent; and more importantly, he's a superstar. It means people expect more from him.

——The director of this film, James Cameron

"True Lies" can be called an A-level production film with strong audio-visual effects and free use of computer stunts. Every movie fan is satisfied. The box office of this film in my country actually exceeded 100 million yuan. You know, this happened in the days when "American blockbusters" had just landed in China, which shows its amazing charm and Unparalleled shock.

——Film critic Wu Kefan

I don’t know what magical element made me very excited when I watched this movie. It was like this when I first watched it, and after a few It was still the same when I watched it in 2016. I didn’t feel that the plot was cliched, I didn’t feel that the acting was exaggerated, I didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it, even the name was cool enough – a lie, but it couldn’t be more real.

——Netizen A Rui

Wonderful film review

▲The film art in "True Lies"

"True Lies" It is an action blockbuster in which the film company invested a huge investment of 120 million US dollars. The combination of high investment and high technology makes the film extremely rich in stunt shots. The thrilling actions constantly impact the audience's vision, and the humorous comedy constantly arouses people's attention. The audience’s knowing smile.

It can be said that this film is a model of American stunt movies in the 20th century. In order to create strong sensory stimulation, the creators of the film spared no expense and mobilized a large number of vehicles, arms and equipment, and even used "Harrier" Aircrafts and missiles, and with the use of high-tech computer technology, various stunt shots are seamlessly combined, giving people a real and immersive experience. The hail of bullets and the majestic background music really made the audience's blood boil. The plane rushing into the large glass wall, the truck hanging on the cross-sea bridge, and all the thrilling scenes were even more exciting and amazing.

In addition to the intense sensory stimulation caused by the extremely high concentration of stunt shots, the film is also filled with tepid ridicule and witty humor. Agent Harry's professional characteristics caused him to conceal his identity, and Helen, who had always thought he was just a dutiful businessman, was tired of his inaction. But in a blink of an eye, at a critical juncture, Harry finally revealed his superhuman powers. With his magical power, Helen unexpectedly became his golden partner. The various contrasts between appearance and substance, the contradiction between the hesitant situation and the inner emotional impulses destined the plot of the film to be accompanied by a lot of comedy content.

Big star Schwarzenegger plays agent Harry in the film. While expressing his "tough guy" character, he also deliberately highlights the generosity and wit of a man. In the film, we see that the muscular bodybuilder of the world seems to have flashed the shadow of James Bond. He has become the embodiment of strength and wisdom. At the same time, his free and generous performance and gentle temperament in the film It also adds endless charm to him.
