[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to the plot

Police-bandit war, fog

In downtown Manhattan, four plain-looking painters walked into the Wall Street branch of a trust bank, and the situation suddenly changed. In less than a minute, the whole bank was under their control. It turned out that they were robbers in disguise. Dalton (clive owen), a gangster with high IQ, robbed a bank behind the scenes and detained nearly 50 hostages.

This is an emergency. NYPD is moving forward. Denzel Hayes Washington Jr., the newly promoted police chief, and his partner Bill arrived at the scene together, although he was under the shadow of a corruption scandal. In addition, the emergency treatment elite was assisted. In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, the police surrounded the bank. This time, however, they are not facing ordinary people-dalton, the mafia boss, who is not only cunning, calm and super-controlled, but also completely controls the situation at every step, and even Frazier is helpless.

For Arthur Keyes (Christopher Pramer), chairman of the board of directors of the bank, his concern is not the safety of the hostages, but the "important" objects in the bank vault. Therefore, Madeleine (Jodie Foster), who is both a lawyer and a political broker, is employed by him to skillfully deal with new york Mayor Fraser and Dalton. The already turbulent situation has been injected with more unstable factors, and the situation is critical!

Aspect: Samsung has the ability to arrest me.

When a police chief who doesn't give up until he catches the suspect meets a perfect bank robber with a high IQ, both of them are extremely smart, with the same IQ and strategy, and the crime scene is in new york, where the situation is changing rapidly, this battle of wits is already full of gunpowder; However, the robbery also includes the complex situation of nearly 50 hostages, the double problems of solving the case and saving the hostages, and the unknown tension, which inevitably makes the audience more uneasy; What's more, "Hide and Seek", which was unveiled step by step, was a strong confrontation between Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. and clive owen, two handsome actors. Even cops and robbers chase natural sparks everywhere!

Although this dazzling battle of wits is enough for the legendary swordsman, the famous black director Spike Lee obviously has no intention of stopping. Another clue of this film will be provoked by Jodie Foster, a beautiful and powerful woman with dual identity and unpredictable depth. What ups and downs will she bring to this big robbery?

Needless to say, the story is touching, and the attraction of Samsung's three pillars is not mentioned for the time being. Spike Lee also added social corruption, power temptation, endless greed and a profound sketch of new york society in his new works, and quietly infiltrated his wrist in controlling dark themes. Although Insider has just made its debut, it is far from being measured by ordinary police films!

This is the least personal film of Spike Lee, but it is also his best and most satisfying work in recent years.

-The New York Times

Spike Lee discovered so many interesting details, but after he turned to commercialization, there was nothing we didn't want to see.

chicago sun times

Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. fans can still appreciate his superb acting skills and charm. Spike Lee is still the most interesting and exciting director, but if you watch this movie with high expectations, you will feel robbed.

[Edit this paragraph] behind-the-scenes production

Commercial Transformation in Spike Lee

Universal Pictures invested heavily in the crime drama Insider, which earned $29 million in 28 18 cinemas. This achievement far exceeds the official expectations, which makes people stunned. Although this film is equipped with an ultra-luxurious star cast and a typical commercial film mode, the director is Spike Lee, a radical who is famous for his political theme. As we all know, Spike Lee's film style is far from the traditional commercial requirements, so both producers and audiences have been holding a wait-and-see attitude towards the box office prospect of this film.

As the chief black director in Hollywood, Spike Lee's films always revolve around racism, radical political attitude and unique personal style. His works in recent years have been resisted by critics and audiences because of the increasingly extreme racial complex, and his directing career has also fallen into a trough because of the box office fiasco. And "Insider" is his transformational work, and Universal Pictures and he have made big bets on it. Fortunately, the film achieved excellent results within a week of its release, and even beat the gorgeous V of "Great Hatred" to top the box office. This film has no political intention. From the story to the rhythm to the performance, although it can't be said that it is watertight, it at least maintains a high level of narrative, concise and not procrastinating. It basically tells a wonderful and interesting story from the perspective of telling a good story, which can be said to be one of the most beautiful entertainment films in recent years.

Spike Lee has mentioned many times that this film is a tribute to Sidney Rumet's classic crime film Hot Afternoon, which was directed in 1975. The robber played by clive owen is quite similar to that played by Al Pacino, but Spike Lee is not good at street fighting. From beginning to end, there are no dazzling action scenes, no streetcars and no bullets flying around. Today, when crime movies are highly dependent on special effects shots, insiders adopt different methods to turn bravery into wisdom. Through the intricate relationship between characters, witty and sharp dialogue, one suspense after another firmly grasps the audience's eyes and hearts.

About screenwriters

It is hard to imagine that the script of this film was written by a newcomer. During his life in Europe and South Africa, screenwriter Gervotz gradually formed the idea of "insider". A year later, his good friend Rosenberg (the executive screenwriter of this film) sold the script to Hollywood agents and finally transferred it to Imagination. A work of genius was finally made public. Spike Lee spoke highly of Ge Woutersz, thinking that this story has a Hitchcock flavor: "Don't let go of a detail, don't ignore a clue." The name "insider" has revealed the mystery: everyone is in a game, both a participant and a manipulator, regardless of good and evil, unable to escape, and the ultimate goal is just to survive. On the basis of the traditional theme of police and bandits, Ge Watts constructed a very cautious and thorough context. When describing a very rational case, he buried the relationships between people, people and the environment, such as the contradictions that are hard to break and interdependent, and the selfishness and glitz that people struggled for survival in the direction and details of the plot. Through an open story, he gradually got through these many relationships and made very rational. This is also an important reason why gold medal producer Brian Grazer took a fancy to it. Spike Lee also made an exception by shooting with two cameras at the same time, which made the actors' real opponents and performances more natural. The soundtrack follows Spike Lee's favorite black style, while Bollywood Indian style songs and dances are mixed with rap, creating a wonderful atmosphere and reflecting the melting pot cultural background of new york.

production team

From the protagonist to the director, from the director to the producer: Denzel Hayes Washington Jr., Spike Lee, Jodie Foster, Bryan Gorez, can all be described by loud words such as superstar and gold medal. Especially Spike Lee and Denzel Hayes Washington Jr., these two black superstars are close to each other and join hands for the fourth time. The first three albums, Jazz Men and Women, Malcolm X and One-on-One Hit, all achieved quite good results. In particular, Malcolm X won the black Oscar winner the honor of Best Actor at the Berlin International Film Festival, one of the three major European awards.

However, in recent years, it seems that Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. has never been able to get rid of the curse of the film emperor, and has never been too brilliant. This time, I joined hands with the great black director Spike Lee to try my best to break the spell and get out of the bad luck. In addition, the film also brought in the gold medal producer Brian Gray (at midnight on weekends, the flight plan and the upcoming Da Vinci Code), so Denzel and Spike are bound to win.

In addition, Jodie Foster, a talented Hollywood woman, and clive owen, who has a wider career, will also support the film. Last year, on an international flight, Judy, who performed the thriller "Looking for her own daughter", once again surprised all those inside and outside the industry who loved her. Jodie Foster's profound knowledge is really admirable. /kloc-At the age of 0/4, Judy won the coveted Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role as a prostitute in Taxi Driver. Since then, Hollywood's star road has been quite smooth. 1988 The woman who was sexually assaulted in the "accusation" made Judy try her best to win the Oscar again. 199 1' s directorial debut "My Genius Baby" fully shows her gratitude and trust to her mother. In the same year, a The Silence of the Lambs won her three Oscars. Judy, who had a rest in the film industry for a while, has regained her luster in the past two years. Before the long engagement, people once again appreciate the charm of this talented woman. This is another thriller since the big holiday of more than two years after Panic Space. This time, it is obviously intentional to join hands with the old film actor Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. and the famous director Spike Lee. Judy, who is now in middle age, can be described as a high-profile "comeback", and the second spring of her career is just around the corner.

[Edit this paragraph] Highlights

At the end of the movie, when Denzel's character walks into his apartment, his girlfriend's brother falls down on the sofa with a bottle like a bomb. This bottle appeared in Spike Lee's previous film Chaos. It is a fictional alcohol product sold in a container that looks like a bomb.

This film has two connections with Spike Lee's 1989 film "Do the Right Thing". One is that the pizza given to the hostages in the film comes from Sal's pizza shop in Do the Right Thing, and the other is that the role played by Washington quoted the lines in that film.

It took Jodie Foster a total of three weeks to finish her play.

Spike Lee, who loves sports, used his spare time to watch the game and made chiwetel ejiofor and French striker Henry the main actors.

[Edit this paragraph] goof shot

In the film, the cigarette in Albanian translator's hand became longer after shooting.

When Dalton Russell pulled a hostage into the room and took off his head, he knocked over a pile of books, but in the later scene, when Fraser examined the hostage, the pile of books was folded, even though the hostage was still blindfolded.

At the end of the movie, Arthur Keyes poured himself a glass of brandy. In the next scene, the glass is full and empty.

When Arthur Keyes was talking to Madeleine in the cloakroom, he said something happened "60 years ago", but his lips were saying "50".
