Court métrageTranscription
00:09Mission Impossible in the style of Michael Mann's Miami Vice
00:12Yes, because you have to mention Michael Mann at least once in a video for it to be a
00:16good video
00:17So, like Miami Vice, Mission Impossible takes the complete opposite approach to the television series.
00:22Brian De Palma kills off, in the opening minutes, the team that made up the very essence of the TV show
00:27And focuses only on the star, the producer, the boss, Mr. Tom Cruise
00:32It's also an opportunity for one of Hollywood's masters to offer something new.
00:36And to offer the viewer a superb spy film with what constitutes the foundations of his cinema.
00:42Suspense, betrayal, deception, and a story within a story.
00:45In addition to making an obvious political statement by making him disappear, by transforming him into a traitor
00:50Or by ridiculing the characters representing a certain authority
00:54And contrary to what many people think, Tom Cruise didn't become a stuntman overnight.
00:59From his very first Mission Impossible film, he handled most of his own stunts.
01:03But today he performs his own stunts at his own request, for pleasure and with a certain suicidal tendency
01:09At the time, young Cruise wasn't exactly keen on the idea of taking risks.
01:14During that famous scene in the restaurant, it is indeed the actor we see on screen.
01:18They were one step away from getting three tons of water dumped on their heads.
01:21De Palma had tried to film this scene with a stuntman
01:24But it was far too visible on the screen and the rendering was very poor.
01:28He therefore insisted that Tom himself perform his stunts.
01:32But he wasn't particularly keen on the idea.
01:34He will eventually agree to do it for the good of the film.
01:37But he'll tell De Palma, "You know, I'm just an actor," before filming.
01:42the scene
01:42Quite ironic when you consider the 300 different hats he wears these days on the set of one of
01:47his films
01:47I would also like to conclude this Wikipedia anecdote.
01:50Because it was George Lucas who suggested including the briefing scene in the film for the
01:55Prague mission
01:55So that all viewers can find something to enjoy
01:58It's quite funny when you consider that 20 years earlier, it was De Palma who suggested to Lucas that he put
02:02an explanatory text before his Star Wars
02:05So that all viewers can find something they like as well
02:08That being said, I would like to discuss the film through the lens of its key scene.
02:12The CIA headquarters robbery
02:15The feat is unprecedented
02:17De Palma indulges in the luxury of quoting Jules Dassin
02:19And to create a deathly silence for several long minutes
02:23From what is supposed to be a blockbuster
02:25Commissioned by a star who wanted all the spotlights on him
02:28And indeed, all eyes will be on Cruise at that moment.
02:31But it's not Cruise we're watching with fascination.
02:34It's the way it's staged
02:37Here we are nothing but simple snakes
02:39And Brian De Palma charms us
02:41We won't take our eyes off the film.
02:43We're in it from beginning to end
02:44Tom Cruise is trapped in a setting that could have come straight out of a cubicle.
02:48The operation is simple
02:49Encoding files onto a floppy disk
02:51But the room is protected by retinal prints
02:54Heat, noise, and footstep sensors
02:57The whole operation hangs by a thread.
03:00Literally
03:00The threat is everywhere.
03:02The agent who is only a head away from discovering everything
03:04The rat that's just one bite away from ruining everything
03:08Ethan Hunt's sweat, which comes close to being fatal
03:11The knife that is one second away from not falling perfectly
03:14More than 10 minutes of unbearable silence for the characters and for us, the viewers.
03:19Where 95% of directors would have inserted a piece of music
03:23De Palma does nothing about it
03:24He lets the silence penetrate the scene
03:27Until the mission is accomplished
03:29And that Danny Elfman might resurface
03:31A lesson in mastery the likes of which you will rarely see.
03:35The cutting is perfect
03:36He alternates between the different protagonists.
03:39So that the stress is palpable on all sides
03:41The sequence of shots is equally astounding.
03:44The scene will instantly become iconic.
03:47We can also add it to the checklist
03:49Easy
03:50It will serve as an example for decades to come.
03:53And it will even be mentioned in the next two installments of the saga.
03:56Thanks to this unique moment
03:57Brian De Palma doesn't just quote his idol
04:00The master of suspense himself
04:01He sits down at his table and looks down on him
04:04Because at that precise moment
04:05He can clearly afford it
04:07The climax, however, will not be universally acclaimed.
04:10And yet he also proves that dear de Palma
04:13Not content with having all the qualities of a perfect filmmaker
04:16He also masters the action with a simply delightful skill.
04:19This introduces the "Too Much" action cinema of the 2000s.
04:22But it does it in the most beautiful way.
04:25And for his first production
04:26Tom Cruise hit the nail on the head
04:28That was the right adaptation to make
04:30With the right director in charge
04:32And then there's Jean Reno making faces.
04:34Grimaces
04:35And more grimaces.
04:37And for that reason, well, it's worth a look too.
05:05Mission Impossible 2 begins with a scene that will have generated a lot of discussion.
05:09Where Tom Cruise has the subtlety of a buffalo
05:12This makes us understand that despite the difficulties
05:14He is still the king
05:15And the summit is just a formality.
05:17So the scene is excessively over the top.
05:19But personally, I think it fits perfectly with the intentions of the film.
05:23Which is produced by Tom Cruise
05:25For Tom Cruise
05:26Once again, forget about the team spirit of the series
05:29Cruise is alone against everyone
05:31Tom Cruise runs, jumps, rides a motorcycle
05:33Tom Cruise is pure
05:35It is the angel Gabriel
05:36The flames cannot reach it
05:38Death cannot catch him
05:40After two films where he barely appears on the poster
05:43Where he is simply a nut in machines bigger than himself
05:46Where he will swallow his ego and let his talent speak for itself.
05:49After three years of dedicating himself body and soul to other artists' projects
05:53The frustration was far too great not to completely lose it in this Mission Impossible 2
05:57Propaganda video glorifying the smallest of the great Hollywood actors
06:01And with all that, you might think I don't like this movie.
06:04But don't be mistaken
06:05I think it's a superb B-movie.
06:07Whoever possesses such a personality that I prefer him a thousand times over
06:10Most of today's big-budget productions are completely bland.
06:13MI2 looks great
06:14That's something we can't take away from him
06:16And despite what has been said about John Woo's lack of involvement in the project
06:20To the detriment of an omnipresent Tom Cruise
06:21Watch the film again and you'll see that it fits perfectly into the filmography of reality.
06:25There are slow-motion shots and doves.
06:27So, well, that's it.
06:28The film also has the power to usher in the new millennium
06:31By fully understanding it and immediately assimilating its style
06:35Where some films from the early 90s
06:37They are sometimes still too marked by the aesthetics of the 80s.
06:40Its weaknesses will lie primarily in its narrative
06:43A virus that a big bad guy wants to unleash to destroy the world
06:46An unbearable romance
06:47Hence Gray Scott's unbearable nature
06:50Who, incidentally, at the time turned down the role of Wolverine to act alongside Tom Cruise
06:54Thank God
06:54The film's strength will lie in the action scenes directed by Woo.
06:58Where it can feel forced at times
06:59But again, these scenes are part of a temporal and artistic logic.
07:04Tom Cruise is starting to enjoy performing his own stunts.
07:07Sometimes very dangerous, but being a producer, he can do what he wants
07:11He's the one who climbs at the beginning of the film
07:12He's the one who makes jumps of several meters
07:15He's the one who rides through the flames on his motorcycle
07:17And that scene with the knife, he did it himself without any special effects.
07:21Almost blinded by a beautiful plan
07:23I imagine John Woo completely sweating before saying "cut"
07:27This is the genesis of what would become one of Cruise's trademarks
07:30Moreover, he is amused by the daredevil image he created for himself with this film.
07:34He even participated in parodies alongside his alleged stuntman.
07:37A certain Ben Stiller
07:39And it's always a pleasure to see Ben Stiller parody Tom Cruise anyway.
07:53The least one can say is that from its very introduction, Mission Impossible 3 is intriguing.
07:58We are heading towards a revival of the saga, and for good reason.
08:01Action cinema has changed a lot since the last Mission Impossible films
08:05Jason Bourne has been here
08:06But this third installment will seal the deal and propel the Hollywood blockbuster into a new era.
08:12First, the film was offered to David Fincher
08:15Who is interested and starts scribbling down a plot about organ trafficking in South Africa?
08:19With Sylvester Stallone as the main villain
08:21Needless to say, I really want to see this movie.
08:24And who knows, maybe there is one on Earth 2
08:27But Cruise isn't keen on the idea.
08:29And Fincher doesn't look any further and leaves.
08:31JJ Abrahams, riding high on the success of Alias and Lost
08:34He is summoned by Tom Cruise himself
08:36A fan of the guy's series, especially Alias
08:39And asks him to take over as director
08:41And to offer his expertise in order to enhance his most precious livelihood
08:45Abraham complies and it's true, he delivers an incredible action film
08:49He modernizes the saga with interesting staging ideas
08:52Highly immersive camera movements that closely follow the action
08:56And introduces a very mysterious McGuffin that doesn't really need to reveal itself.
08:59And that adds a rather welcome touch of mystery.
09:02The late Philip Seymour Hoffman delivers a stunning performance
09:06To such an extent that it becomes terrifyingly credible.
09:09Especially after this introduction and the tragic fate it holds in store for the protagonists.
09:13That was before reaching the fateful moment and discovering it was all a damp squib.
09:18The film loses steam and fails to fully develop its ideas.
09:20Falling back into genre clichés with a deathly boring happy ending
09:24While the introduction foreshadowed a tragic fate for our dear Ethan Hunt
09:28This could have enhanced its substance and elevated a saga that already had a
09:33good reputation
09:33In any case, the film still retains a certain freshness.
09:36Thanks in particular to its action scenes, each one crazier than the last.
09:40Despite good ideas and a contemporary style, the film fails to take off.
09:44box office
09:45Because of his numerous media appearances, Tom Cruise is no longer able to unite the public.
09:49Paramount quickly understood this, terminating Cruise's contract a few weeks after the release of the
09:54movie
09:54And after 14 years of faithful and loyal service
09:57The production company accuses Cruise of creative suicide after his Scientology excesses.
10:03And no longer wants to be associated with the star
10:05He then made a string of films, but success never returned.
10:13In 2011, Tom Cruise was no longer the king of the box office
10:16And to get back to the top, he decides to reshape the Mission Impossible saga
10:21Ethan Hunt is no longer alone against the world; now he shares the spotlight with his team.
10:25The plot is still as basic as ever.
10:28And after Philip Seymour Hoffman at his best in the latest installment
10:31It's regrettable that the antagonist here is completely bland.
10:35With no personality, practically invisible
10:38But the film remains very fun nonetheless, thanks to its inventiveness and its direction by Brad Bird.
10:43This marks his first live-action film after his animated classics.
10:47The animation's whimsical style is also reflected in Bird's staging.
10:50The very cartoonish escape from prison in Russia
10:53The Kremlin vault scene
10:55The sandstorm
10:56And of course, the scene from the film
10:58The ascent of Dubai's Burj Khalifa, which caused quite a stir due to its incredibly captivating sequence.
11:04But above all, because of the design of this same sequence, which actually shows Tom Cruise swinging above the
11:09empty
11:10And perform all the stunts himself
11:12After self-deprecation comes risk-taking
11:15His love for the acting profession and the devotion he puts into it offer a second youth to the
11:19star
11:19And it works! The film is a huge critical and commercial success.
11:23Cruise is back on top
11:25He has finally found the niche in which to position himself.
11:28And that will be the action
11:35Since the fourth installment, the saga no longer bothers with a number in its title.
11:39The ambitions are now clear.
11:41To rival the master of espionage in cinema
11:44And let's be honest, with this fifth installment, he succeeds.
11:48This is the best of what American blockbusters have to offer.
11:51McQuarrie delivers one bravura performance after another.
11:53A stunning opening act with Tom Cruise literally risking his life right before our eyes.
11:58A Hitchcockian interlude at the Vienna Opera
12:00Where spies and other snipers put on a show during the show
12:03Equally understated yet incredibly effective
12:06A most perilous aquatic scene
12:08This was followed by a car chase through the streets of Morocco.
12:11Then by motorcycle
12:11Which is reminiscent of the time when Tom Cruise wasn't afraid to get burned.
12:15To end with a climax completely unlike anything one might expect in a film of this scale
12:20I was saying earlier that modern blockbusters struggle to make a successful release
12:24Well, Mission Impossible Rogue Nation proves me wrong.
12:27Three protagonists around a table
12:28And a bomb threatening to explode is enough to make this finale breathtaking.
12:32And concludes what is undoubtedly the most successful installment of the saga so far.
12:36A true masterpiece by Christopher McQuarrie
12:39Who is definitively establishing himself as the new master of action movies in Hollywood
12:43The film's strength will also lie in its handling of its characters.
12:47Ilsa Faust, played by Rebecca Ferguson, is the lead role.
12:50Which positions itself as the heart of the film
12:52A strong, intelligent, superbly developed character
12:56Ethan Hunt's alter ego
12:58Who also takes off her heels before running
13:00Isn't that right?
13:01A breath of fresh air in this saga
13:03And definitely the most interesting character to follow
13:06Tom Cruise is not to be outdone
13:08But we will find it more through technical feats
13:11He now positions himself as the worthy heir of Buster Keaton.
13:14Jean-Paul Belmondo
13:16And other Jackie Chan
13:17These stunts have become his trademark.
13:20A major advantage that allows the film to sell well
13:22And for Cruise to prove something or other
13:24Perhaps his immortality
13:26Which is one of the stages of Scientology
13:28A stage that Cruise may have reached
13:30Because it's true that time passes
13:32And that he has virtually no control over him
13:34Tom Cruise runs, jumps, and fights.
13:37Clings to a plane, falls off a motorcycle
13:39Nothing can stop him
13:41And his next film seems to reveal a well-buried secret.
13:44Tom Cruise, a mummy, without a doubt
14:07Mission Impossible Fallout marks the 9th collaboration between Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie
14:12Artistic bromance is now a given.
14:15The actor and the director are now inseparable.
14:17And which therefore breaks with the Mission Impossible tradition
14:20Which consisted of having a different filmmaker on each film
14:23Tradition is so disregarded
14:25That McQuarrie will be behind the camera
14:27For the 7th and 8th installments
14:28Which was originally supposed to be filmed as a sequel
14:31Which makes me think that Tom Cruise
14:33Perhaps he's finally realizing that time is passing.
14:35And no matter how fast he runs
14:37He will catch up with him sooner or later.
14:40At any rate
14:41In Mission Impossible Fallout
14:42Cruise is in good shape
14:43And the film is a real success
14:45It follows in the footsteps of the 5th installment
14:48But it trades a certain subtlety
14:50For even crazier action sequences
14:52And obviously
14:53All produced by Cruise
14:55More than 100 training jumps
14:56To film the aerial scene above Paris
14:58Because make no mistake
15:00This scene was filmed without special effects.
15:022 years of training and over 2000 flight hours
15:04Which allow Tom Cruise to pilot the helicopter himself
15:07At the end of the film
15:08Not to mention the motorcycle scenes at 200 km/h
15:11Falls that hurt
15:12And other falls that hurt even more
15:14There is something very unhealthy about it.
15:16Who stands out from Mission Impossible Fallout
15:18Its design and Cruise's participation
15:21At the most perilous waterfalls
15:22Makes it completely meta
15:24When you see him skimming past the cars at full speed
15:26In the streets of Paris
15:27Or take a helicopter ride in a very narrow ravine
15:30We are not afraid for Ethan Hunt in the story
15:32We're worried about Tom Cruise
15:35We grit our teeth during every action scene
15:36Thinking that he could have died 100 times
15:39To say that Tom Cruise is the new Jackass is a stretch.
15:41It's just one step
15:43At any rate
15:44These famous waterfalls are phenomenal.
15:46And completely enjoyable
15:47All of this constitutes an incredible promotional powerhouse.
15:50The proof is in Mission Impossible Fallout
15:52It is the biggest success of the saga
15:54And it's well deserved, given how good the action is once again.
15:56Controlled from beginning to end
15:57The entire Paris sequence takes on the feel of a raw and visceral crime novel.
16:01McQuarrie films the capital with a sumptuous banner
16:04And the chase scene pays homage to Claude Lelouch's directing style.
16:07This brings to an end one of the great moments of the film
16:10But not as grand as the climax, whose unique flavor truly captivated me.
16:14For a moment I felt like I was watching the finale of a James Bond film with Peter Brosnan
16:18The helicopter chase in a snowy setting
16:21The battle at its highest level between our two gladiators
16:23And the antagonist's death is just as cartoonish as Sean Bean's in GoldenEye.
16:28Not to mention the very pronounced similarities with the ending of Cliffhanger
16:3290s Alpine action film starring Sylvester Stallone
16:36It's this very old-school touch that concludes the sixth installment of a saga
16:39Which can be considered one of the most effective in Hollywood
16:42But it's also one of the most lucrative, with its cumulative $3.4 billion.
