Introduction and details of changing face

Synopsis? Keith Troy (Nicolas Cage), an unscrupulous terrorist, assassinated jean arthur (john Travolta), a senior FBI agent, but killed his only son by mistake, making jean arthur swear to put Keith Troy in prison himself. Under the tip-off of an informant, jean arthur finally got a chance to personally arrest Keith Troy and bring him to justice before he and his brother fled by plane. After the gunfight, Keith Troy was in a coma because of his injuries.

Arthur still thinks it's all over, but he learned from Keith's younger brother that before he was arrested, Keith Troy had placed a powerful gas bomb in a crowded public place. No matter how pressed by the police, Keith's younger brother would rather die than tell the location of the bomb. At the end of his rope, Arthur's first mate offered to exchange the looks of Arthur and Keith Troy through high-tech plastic surgery, and then let Arthur pretend to be Keith Troy in prison, let Keith's younger brother think that his brother was resurrected and tell him the location of the bomb.

This "face-changing" plan is the top secret of the FBI. Only the attending doctor and three FBI officers knew about it. Everything went well at first, and Keith Troy's impostor got into prison. But unexpectedly, the unconscious Keith Troy woke up. Cunning, he decided to play along. The first step is to kill the doctor and inform the FBI agents involved in this task.

80-degree rock furniture, golden section leather, lift this ridiculous chin and stop giving this man medicine, Hans? Loft release date: 2065438+00065438+1October 12 Shawn Archer's imprisoned prison was filmed at Eagle Rock Substation. The costume department of the crew made 180 pairs of boots that can be fixed by magnetic force, each pair 13 pounds. The producer had hoped that John Woo could remove the slash in the title, but John Woo insisted on keeping it because he was afraid that the audience would misunderstand that the film was a hockey movie (Face Off is a hockey term, meaning kick-off). The speedboat chase at the end of the film was originally designed for the ultimate goal. Nicolas Cage once said that he was driving a beige Volvo in Brave Island. In the film, after Nicolas Cage escaped from prison, he stole a beige Volvo. The prison at sea in the film is called "Erewhon", which is the antonym of "nowhere". The magnetic boots in prison belong to the super horsepower brothers. The name of Castor Troy in the film comes from Greek mythology. The choir in the film is a non-profit choir in Los Angeles. There are many iconic scenes of John Woo in the film, such as Castor Troy's use of double guns, Castor Troy's reflection in Dr. Walsh's glasses, Sean and Castor's back-to-back conversation across obstacles, pigeons and church gunfights, etc. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were the first candidates to star in this film, and later john Travolta and Nicolas Cage were more suitable as directors. According to producer Barry Osborne, many thrilling scenes in the film, such as the fight on the ship and the plane running off the runway, were originally intended to be filmed on the green screen, but for the truth of the story, they decided to film them. At first, Nicolas Cage refused to play Castor Troy because he was not interested in playing the bad guys. Later, he learned that he was playing a hero for most of the film, and he quickly signed the role. Make a shooting scene behind the scenes

Most of the films were shot in real scenes, and only a few scenes were shot in Paramount's studio. Neil Spisak Inca Ruins, the production designer, set up a production team composed of draftsmen, scenery designers, model makers and construction workers to build the scenery. In the film, the gunfight on Dietrich's top floor was shot on the ninth and tenth floors of an idle building in downtown Los Angeles. Garrett Lewis, a five-Oscar nominated set designer, is responsible for designing the gorgeous background in the room. In order to create the devastating effect of fierce gun battles, the special effects department created more than 5,000 bullet effects on the walls and furniture of the room.

Photography point

Southern California International Airport, which used to be George Air Force Base, provided enough space for the film crew to shoot the chase scene of the jet, and closed the runway as long as 10000 feet. Because John Woo didn't want to shoot with miniature models and special effects, he used a full-size real plane and avoided using a green screen. Archer and Caster's speedboat chase scene was filmed in San Pedro's Los Angeles Port. Because it is one of the busiest ports in the world, it is very complicated to shoot a lot of special effects and stunts. Filmmakers on location actively contacted port management agencies, coast guard, port police, fire department and tugboat company during filming.

The film commented that FACE/OFF played the cliche of "changing face" in Sichuan Opera. First the police became bandits, and then the bandits became policemen. Two people who exchanged looks and identities began a journey of "finding who I am" and "finding my identity" in a sense. This philosophical speculation, Wu Yusen's violent aesthetics, the semiotic action scene in the "Mirror Palace" at the end of the film, the acting skills of Nicolas Cage and john travolta, and Wu Yusen's research on pigeons' violence make the whole film look memorable. (Time Network Review)

The premiere of the film is a magical combination of john Travolta and Nicolas Cage. One is the dance king in the old musical, and the other is the melancholy niche in the literary film. As a result, action movies achieved the same goal and became popular again. Their meeting was arranged by John Woo's masterpiece FACE/OFF. Apart from John Woo's signature action drama, the biggest attraction of FACE/OFF is that john Travolta and Nicolas Cage play themselves and each other respectively. They all had the addiction of decent and villains in the same movie, and they also had dual personalities. After the face change, john travolta's Yin Zhi and Nicolas Cage's Pain are particularly memorable. (Time Network Review)
