I couldn’t find an MI:2 thread so I’m posting my unfiltered notes here. I figure you can decode my babble notes … or not.
Digging into some John Woo research by request. Expect more of these. No apologies here. If you don’t like John Woo you should turn in your D00M card right now. He made a lot of cheese for Hollywood but he nailed a few and his HK triad flicks are untouchable. A pioneer in balletic gun play and ultravi. Join me on this rewatch journey.
Seen on Amazon.
MI2 - so cheesey ubiquitous slow mo - artsy in a caricature way like an homage to the roger Moore 007 in his later films
Woos love of helicopters-choppers
Blowing scarves in the wind in slo mo
So 2000
Sense of epic panorama shots
Bellerophon & chimaera - virus
Prophetic of the big pharma conspiracy theories
Not in tune with MI franchise - an outlier - just the masks, perhaps a foreshadowing of face off
Tom mostly glowers
2 hand pistol blasting while diving shot
Slow mo pigeons (or doves)
Brendon Gleason is almost trump like in his countenance
Trench coats like capes
Big car crashes - refreshing over the cgi crashes of today
Oz
