The Untouchable movie review:
The Untouchable is neither a romance movie wrapped in espionage garb nor an espionage movie with elements of love, but more like an amalgamation of espionage and romance. The higher realm that the movie pursues should also be the perfect fusion of espionage and love, both the skeleton of espionage and the flesh and blood of love, and through the double deduction of espionage and love, sublimation of human nature and the thinking of the times. What the movie wants to express is not only the inaccessibility of love, but also the pursuit and inaccessibility of a state of life and social ideals.
The movie "Untouchable" tells a love story of a pair of lovers in the 1930s and 1940s, with a grand background that gives the movie a deep and wide space, and a series of elements such as fiery shooting scenes, mysterious and unpredictable espionage, and secular legends of old Shanghai, etc., which are all superior in the movie, and don't lose the momentum of the blockbuster. Some viewers even said after watching "Untouchable" that it has the feeling of a Hollywood World War II blockbuster. What is remarkable is that in the war-torn environment, the movie's expression of personal feelings did not fall into symbolization and lead to thin and flat.
"Untouchable" has been reduced to an unimpressive rom-com, taking out the spy story and filling it with love, daring to take out the skeleton of love and using Fu Jingnian's faith in espionage as a support to reverse the love and the plot over and over again.
