Nemoguć a misija Serijal je počeo najbolje moguće – Brajan De Palma napravio je or- ganski špijunski triler pun tenzija. Itan Hant je predstavljen kao mladi agent optužen da je izdao svoj tim. Umesto da očekujemo eksploziv- nu akciju, De Palmina „Misija“ se u velikoj meri oslanja na neizvesnost i psihološku dramu, a ton filma je napet i mračan. Pljačka u sedištu CIA-e postala je legendarna... MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE The series began in best possible way – with Brian De Palma’s take on a tension-fuelled espionage thriller. In this first film, Ethan Hunt is intro- duced as a young agent framed for betraying his team. Rather than leaning on explosive action, De Palma’s Mission relied heavily on sus- pense and psychological drama. The film’s tone was tense and dark. The silent heist at CIA headquarters became legendary... Nemoguć a misija 2 Pod palicom Džona Vua, film se naglo okrenuo ka stilizovanoj akciji. Sa već im fokusom na romantiku i elegantnu akrobatiku, ovaj nastavak odražava Vuov prepoznatljivi „gun-fu“ stil, zajedno sa dramatičnim us- porenim snimcima, golubovima i intenzivnim scenama borbe. Kritiča- ri su bili podeljeni oko toga, smatrajući da je preterano (slažemo se), ali je film postavio Itana kao majstora neverovatnih vratolomija. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2 Under the direction of John Woo, this instalment took a sharp turn to- wards stylised action. With a heavier focus on romance and with sleek, acrobatic action, this sequel reflects Woo’s signature “gun-fu” style, complete with dramatic slow-motion shots, doves and intense fight scenes. Critics were divided on its exaggerated tone, considering it excessive (we agree), but the film nonetheless established Ethan as a Džej Džej Abramsova verzija je dodala emocionalnu dubinu koja se ranije nije videla u serijalu, fokusirajuć i se na Hantov lični život i ranji- vost. Ulozi su već i jer je Hant primoran da zaštiti svoju verenicu dok se suočava sa negativcima. Abrams je izbalansirao visokooktansku akciju sa emocionalnom dimenzijom, pruživši gledaocima novi uvid u lik Hanta kao čoveka koji se bori da uravnoteži dužnost i ljubav. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3 J.J. Abrams’ version added an emotional depth previously unseen in the series, focusing on Hunt’s personal life and vulnerability. The stakes are higher this time around, as Hunt is forced to protect his fiancée while facing a particularly menacing villain. Abrams balanced high-oc- tane action with emotional resonance, giving viewers a glimpse into Hunt’s character as a man struggling to balance duty and love. NM: Protokol Duh Režiser Bred Bird je uneo dozu humora i drugarstva, pomerivši fo- kus sa usamljenog Itana Hanta na timsku dinamiku. Čuveni uspon na Burdž Kalifu, kada se Kruz penje na tada najvišu zgradu na sve- tu, oličava dotad neviđenu posveć enost serijala zapanjujuć im vra- tolomijama. MI: GHOST PROTOCOL Director Brad Bird injected a dose of humour and camaraderie, shifting from the lone-wolf Hunt to a more collaborative team dynamic. The fa- mous Burj Khalifa climb, where Cruise scales the world’s tallest build- ing, epitomises the series’ dedication to jaw-dropping stunts. master of improbable stunts. Nemoguć a misija 3
NEW FILM Tom Cruise and the art of the impossible From the homonymous 1960s television show to Tom Cruise’s adrenaline-
fuelled transformation of the franchise into a benchmark for action filmmaking, Mission: Impossible has consistently raised the bar when it comes to what’s possible on screen T he Mission: Impossible film series has evolved since its 1996 debut from a cere- bral espionage thriller to a high-octane action specta- cle, with each instalment reflecting the changing tastes of audiences and ad- vances in filmmaking. With Tom Cruise in the lead role, as indomitable agent Ethan Hunt, the franchise has rede- fined the limits of action cinema with each release (seven movies have been released ahead of this year’s final in- stalment) and cemented itself as one of Hollywood’s most ambitious and suc- cessful film series. The evolution is ev- ident in the tone and character devel- opment, but particularly in the stunts. Each film not only raises the bar for ac- tion, but also allows audiences to con- nect more deeply with Hunt, as a hero who grows ever more complex and re- latable. Whether dangling from a sky- scraper or facing a world-threatening AI, Ethan’s journey mirrors the evo- lution of action cinema itself, proving that – even after nearly three decades – Mission: Impossible remains a cultural phenomenon and a benchmark for cine- matic daring. Kudos to Cruise for making the most of a career that he never intended to have. Prior to becoming Ethan Hunt, back in the 1980s, he turned down Top Gun 2 to make the Color of Money and Rain Man.
