Court métrageTranscription
00:00Ah, the year 2000, a time when everything seemed simpler, when everything was cheaper, when it
00:05It was a good place to live. And where I was 6 years old, so I don't know anything about it at all, but what I do know
00:08It was at this time that American cinema was in a phase of experimentation. The 21st
00:13century rhymes with digital and the studios are going to have a field day. The Wachowski Sisters
00:17will create a trend and others will follow. George Lucas uses and abuses the green screen, Michael
00:21Mann tests the digital camera, Robert Rodriguez does... his own thing,
00:26and McG made his directorial debut with Charlize Theron's Angels. Released
00:31In 2000, the film was an adaptation of the TV series of the same name broadcast in the 70s.
00:35Drew Barrymore is behind the project, she bought the rights to the series, produced
00:39the film and plays one of the main roles alongside Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz. It was
00:43a commercial success, more than 265 million dollars. And of course he couldn't
00:48be otherwise when the film has a scene as hot as Bill Murray and Tim
00:51Curry showing off in a sumo outfit. For that alone, the film is worth watching.
00:57The first Charlie's Angels film already had this taste for excess, for the
01:01too much, but I don't see it as a parody. He'll take his references elsewhere,
01:05certainly, but he himself has already been the subject of various parodies. And can we really
01:09parody a parody? The second opus goes so far that it becomes a work of art
01:13Captivatingly stupid, captivatingly mad. A freewheeling experience like I've rarely seen.
01:17The film begins with a false sequence shot, which is nice, in my opinion, which allows us to introduce
01:21our three heroines. The first comes out of a box in what is the first nonsense
01:25of the film, and it won't be the last. The second plays Marion Ravenwood in
01:28Indiana Jones. And the third...
01:30Will there be a youth pole vault?
01:32Yeah, right, the third one. The idea is to free this guy who... Oh, Robert Patrick!
01:38She frees him, brings him into the bar, tries to leave discreetly, and there of course,
01:42It doesn't go as planned, and so the action begins. They manage to escape.
01:46from the bar dodging countless bullets, then dodge two missiles by
01:50jumping from the top of a dam with a truck, which itself carries a helicopter in which
01:55They manage to get the hostage in, tie him up, and even ask him if
01:59everything is going well.
02:00Go ahead! It's good!
02:01It's good !
02:02All in total free fall, eh, of course, and without breaking a single nail. And with
02:06this introduction, we can be sure that the film will not lie to us about what it
02:09has to sell us. From there, the viewer knows what he is dealing with. And I am not
02:13kind of pulling out the suspension of disbelief card, but if you decide to go all the way
02:17delirium, it will have to be fully charged. After that, the soldier who left
02:21escape the spies call what appears to be the antagonist giga to say that it is
02:25shit, but we can't see who this person is, and we wonder who it could be
02:29well-being.
02:30This is Demi Moore.
02:31Besides, in the following scene, she murders Bruce Willis and his wig for
02:34better take the ring off his finger. And when we know that these two were married
02:37and divorced 3 years before the film, we can find the symbolism amusing.
02:41Besides, the whole film will revolve around these two rings, and the girls will
02:44discover by meeting Bosley who…
02:46So, it's party time, girls!
02:48Oh yeah, that's not Bill Murray. The actor didn't want to return for this sequel, and that's
02:52probably because of what happened in the first movie. Bill Murray,
02:54despite the incredible sympathy he exudes on screen, does not have the reputation
02:58to be the easiest guy to get along with on a film set.
03:01During the scenes in the first film, many criticized him for improvising too often.
03:04Lucy Liu pointed this out to him in particular, and a violent argument broke out between the two.
03:08Bill Murray threw some very harsh words at the actress, but she didn't give in.
03:12TO DO.
03:13Mac G, the director, would later even say that the actor had hit him
03:15of ball.
03:16It's not Bill Murray anymore, it's Zidane! I think I need to stop being funny.
03:19We never got to the bottom of this story. Everyone fell by default on the
03:22poor Lucy Liu, because you understand, Bill Murray is funny so it can't be
03:26to be an asshole.
03:27And also because he has a penis.
03:29But anyway, Bernie Mac does the job pretty well, and he's pretty funny.
03:33Well, not always either.
03:35I'm so sick of it, I can't walk anymore!
03:38So Robert Forster is going to explain to us the why of this thing, and basically there are two
03:41rings on which appears the list of witnesses under protection.
03:44These two rings have disappeared, and must be found before the list is sold
03:48to bad guys.
03:49The three acolytes will have to go in search of the rings, and this leads them to
03:52a first crime scene where they play Miami experts, and damn the mullet
03:56on Cameron Diaz, that's something.
03:57Oh it's sex-whats, the wetter you get the less slippery it is.
04:07They will succeed in finding a clue via a deduction so far-fetched
04:11that even Bruce Willis would have lost his wig.
04:13I found a foreign print, he was wearing a reissue of an Air Jordan model
04:181989, a limited promotional version that was on sale at Foot Locker in Fontana
04:22exclusively during the summer of 2002.
04:24But there is an imbalance in the distribution of weight between the sides.
04:28left and right.
04:30Consequence of an operation on an internal cruciate ligament last year.
04:34And it's going to be like that for the whole movie, really.
04:37After guessing that the killer was a surfer, they set out to find him on
04:41the beach, mimours grow up without suspecting that she is the bad one, then do honor
04:45to the film's screenwriter-slash-dialogue writer,
04:47I'm all excited, when they're big like that I want to get so small like that
04:51a wild one.
04:52Which probably looks like this.
04:53We're not going to stay stuck at the wreckage, we're going to a disco, and a night out
04:56tuning.
04:57After that, she steals the surfer's personal belongings without being seen thanks to what
05:00would appear to be black magic, and they follow its trail on a race
05:03motorcycle where he will go to kill his second target.
05:06During the race, he dies killed by the bag of bones, but if you know, the bad guy of the
05:09first film, the one who plays George McFly, or the unfriendly guy from the orphanage
05:13in Magic Basket.
05:14And I know, my references are dark.
05:16Let's go back to this famous motocross sequence, symptomatic of action films a little
05:20mediocre people of the early 2000s, who did not understand that if Matrix played
05:23with gravity, it is because his character, endowed with power, could afford it, and that
05:28the viewer could therefore accept it quite logically.
05:31And this is where I pull out my suspension of disbelief trap card.
05:33Because using slow motion is good.
05:35Why not.
05:36But to integrate it head-on into the reality of the character, as if he could control
05:40time and doing completely cheated stunts, that's not possible.
05:43At least in a film that aims to be realistic.
05:45From there, the issues are completely swept aside and take second place.
05:49Because how can you be invested in a story where human beings do things like this?
05:52genre? We can now only take the film as a dud, and accept and be
05:56taken for idiots in order to appreciate at least a little what we see.
05:59And it's not something that bothers me, I like Torque for example.
06:02But here we are still being sold a relatively serious story, and the film doesn't know
06:06not where to position yourself.
06:07Or maybe I've become an old fool, that's not impossible either.
06:09Helen Cull.
06:10That was my name before I went into the witness protection program a while ago.
06:148 years old.
06:15Uh wait.
06:16Helen Cull.
06:17Yes.
06:18That's your name.
06:19Yeah.
06:20Helen Cull.
06:21Tell me, where does that name come from? I'll say, what's the origin? Is it Cullonvier?
06:25Were you driving a convertible? We're fucking attached to you.
06:29I'm only worried about your safety.
06:31We need to send this to the lab and have it analyzed right away.
06:33We'll charge them straight away and see what they'll do.
06:36So Dylan's name is actually.
06:37Helen Cull.
06:38Yes, okay, we understand.
06:39She was granted witness protection after sending her boyfriend to prison
06:42murderer 8 years earlier, but after a bad imitation of Scorsese's nerves to live,
06:46The guy is released and wants revenge on the woman who betrayed him.
06:49This is how we finally find ourselves at this port.
06:51Well no, not right away after all.
06:53Because you understand, it's better to weigh down the film with useless scenes,
06:56like for example where we witness the confrontation between the father and the boyfriend.
07:00The boyfriend played by Matt Leblanc, who literally plays Joey Tribbiani's cousin,
07:04since here his character is still an actor,
07:06and especially because he interprets the two characters in the same way,
07:10with the same facial expressions, with the same somewhat simplistic lines.
07:13What, we're not going to be able to cuddle anymore?
07:16Basically, the actors Matt Leblanc plays have better careers than Matt Leblanc as an actor.
07:21Because yes, in this film, Jason is the hero of a super popular action movie.
07:25Matt Leblanc's biggest production was Lost in Space.
07:29Well, I'll stop hitting him because I love him too.
07:31So this boyfriend-father confrontation scene will allow for a running gag
07:35where the father will be convinced that his daughter is a prostitute and that Charlie is her pimp.
07:39Don't forget who the screenwriter slash dialogue writer of the film is.
07:43Because yes ladies and gentlemen, if you hadn't understood it yet,
07:46Charlie's Angels 2 is a really mediocre movie, directed by a really mediocre guy in McG.
07:52Who directed the first opus, I remind you, but also Terminator Salvation and lots of other rather rubbish stuff.
07:58It should be noted that before Lucy Liu, Andy Newton was chosen to play the role of Alex.
08:02But the latter refused because she was already busy filming Mission Impossible 2.
08:06A film that is also parodied in this Charlie's Angels via the preview of Jason at the end.
08:10But years later, she would admit that it was mainly the stereotypes conveyed by her character.
08:15which will make him refuse the role.
08:16Plus how McG sold him that same character.
08:19This is what she will say about it.
08:25That says a lot about this director, and it's confirmed in this film.
08:28Well, let's finally come to this famous harbor scene.
08:31Where girls have to falsify documents by stealing them and don't tell me that this phone takes pictures of this quality.
08:38To steal these documents, they will use their trump card.
08:41While this is probably the least discreet way to do it.
08:44And that it could have been done in a thousand and one other ways.
08:46But no, instead we get this.
08:48Because it's a big meh movie, remember.
08:50And that McG the director can't go 5 minutes without filming a close-up of an ass.
08:55Literally.
08:56He even makes it a Deus Ex Machina.
08:58I see you still have a shitty little ass.
09:10I'd recognize that ass anywhere, you fucking piece of shit!
09:14So after fooling the Irishman who plays the Irishman in every movie.
09:17But yes, the guy with the scars there, the one who plays in Son of Anarchy.
09:20An actor that I find brilliant, by the way.
09:22But anyway, after that, they manage to get into the building where the rings are.
09:25Finally, the best action scene of the film follows.
09:28Honestly, very well made.
09:29Even if it ends up in Legolas cheat mode x 1000.
09:32The girls collect the rings.
09:33The evil ex-boyfriend swears revenge.
09:35And there we go, 20 minutes of absolutely useless sequences.
09:38The film tries to create drama by making people believe that Dylan is leaving,
09:41because she is afraid for the lives of her friends.
09:43She doesn't want anything to happen to us.
09:47Wait, I don't care.
09:48You risk having your ass found every day.
09:53But after being plotted by a pervert in a bar, probably a cameo from Real,
09:57She decides to come back to support her friends.
09:59Because the power of friendship and all that.
10:01I'll let you refer to Yu-Gi-Oh for more details.
10:03This is still the second reference to Yu-Gi-Oh.
10:05We're starting to do a lot.
10:06And yes.
10:07Meanwhile, the team hands Robert Patrick the rings.
10:10While everyone knows that Robert Patrick is absolutely not to be trusted.
10:13And besides, the proof is because the guy grabs his keys when he was supposed to have broken ribs.
10:17We even get flashbacks just in case, because we're a bit stupid and a bit meh, you know.
10:21So the girls realize it, obviously.
10:23They set off in pursuit of him and catch up with him.
10:25And there I ask myself how he was able to get there so quickly?
10:28And why doesn't he recognize him?
10:30And damn it, stop putting his rings in the air, you'll lose them.
10:33Shortly after, the film crew privatizes the Griffith Observatory to reveal that Demi Moore is the villain.
10:38Oh man god!
10:39She shoots Robert Patrick, she makes a mean speech.
10:42Then she shoots girls too, because you see, she has guns.
10:45And girls, no, because Drew Barrymore has fought against gun ownership her whole life.
10:49And that she imposed on the production that the three heroines not carry weapons during the two films.
10:53It's all to his credit.
10:54So she dies.
10:56But actually no, because obviously, it would be a lame ending.
10:58And this is where we arrive at the climax.
10:59We have a little montage that shows us how the sale of information on the rings takes place.
11:03And actually, it's pretty cool.
11:04I'll spare you the details.
11:05The sale is going badly.
11:06There is a fight.
11:07Invisible thread cascades are once again being used and abused.
11:11Even Guillermo del Toro said it at the time.
11:13The bag of bones finds himself a girlfriend.
11:15And it wasn't a given.
11:16Okay.
11:17But he gets skewered because he looks like Gollum with an Iroquois.
11:27Demi Moore, she's not very happy with everything that's going on.
11:29And suddenly, she starts to fly.
11:32Okay.
11:33All right.
11:34So we don't care about lift and all that.
11:35Okay, fine.
11:36Brief.
11:37It's raining white women.
11:40The fight continues in a car.
11:43And then everyone died.
11:45Once again.
11:46But like, really, really dead.
11:48Like, you can't be more dead in this situation than in that situation.
11:52But in the end, it will end in a pretty serious confrontation despite everything.
11:56So much so that Demi Moore came and DROOLED on Cameron Diaz's cheek.
11:59Maybe to get an Oscar nomination.
12:02The three girls are giving him a hard time.
12:03They burn in the flames of hell.
12:05Then our hips meet at the premiere to celebrate.
12:08All this without the slightest head trauma, of course.
12:10We still have some dirty jokes.
12:12Joey getting mastered.
12:13Owen Wilson's brother who gives his girlfriend a dog.
12:15Everyone is happy.
12:16And generic.
12:17Generic, moreover, always performed with a penis in hand.
12:24What to say.
12:25The film is not unbearable to watch.
12:27As long as you want to find it amusing.
12:29It has a cartoonish side that could have its charm if it weren't overused.
12:32We tend to forget, but this film is now more than 20 years old.
12:35He is a true relic of his time.
12:37A consumer item that has aged very badly.
12:39But which suddenly becomes interesting to study today.
12:41Because in hindsight and because of its flaws.
12:43It becomes a rather unique cinematic product of its kind.
12:46A deliberately grotesque work that thinks only because it is aware of being so.
12:50Don't think you are in the eyes of your spectators.
12:52A real turkey.
12:54Here we go.
12:55Here we go.
12:56Here we go.
