As Rogue Nation Pay tribute to the original mission: impossible television pilot

Franchise “Mission: impossible” has been going on for almost 30 years, and from seven films on the estate will soon become eight during writing (with the release of this summer “Final reckoning”), there is more than enough to catch up before May. When it comes to “Mission: impossible” rating and resumeYou are unlikely if -you see that the key record is included at all: the original series that started the whole business (in the usual episodic or Even the form of the film length). This series has passed for the great seven seasons and 171 episodes since 1966-1973, and this has not even been counted by the Renaissance series since 1988, which lasted 2 seasons on its own. Of course, there are many impossible missions that precede a series of films, so why are they not discussed very often?

The uninformed answer is that the movies are not connected with the series, except for the name, several stylistic elements of the transfer and so on. Be careful about those who make this requirement, because they clearly forgot Brian de Palma’s “Mission: impossible” in which Jim Felps (played Peter Grevez in the series and John Voit in the film) plays an integral and very controversial role (especially among Some actors from the “Mission: impossible” TV show). In addition, though, of course, it is true that “Mission: impossible” films are otherwise not related to the continuity of the series in another large way, there are a number of elements and the regard to the shows that occur in almost every franchise franchise party.

In terms of the oldest honoring the original series, Christopher Maccur overcame everyone else. In the first movie “Mission” McQuarrie, both the writer and the 2015 “Rogue Nation”, it includes a moment reminiscent of the first “Mission: impossible” shooting scene. The scene is not only a link to the pilot episode of the series, but also a reasonable undermining one of the main “missions”: “impossible”, which are seen in every episode today.

The first episode “Mission: The impossible” TV show called “Pilot” was written by the creator of the Bruce Geller series, and directed by Bernard L. Kovalski. The episode does not spend time establishing what will become a format for the series (and, by extrapolation, films), presenting the impossible leader of the Dan Briggs Mission (Stephen Hill) when he is undergoing a briefing mission in extreme secrecy. To do this, the first ever briefing Briggs is at what a wholesale composition looks, but views it as a store, making it a coded request for a “special recording, a collector series”. The embarrassed woman quickly replaces a man who seems to be an agreement, and he nods when Briggs asks “Pavan in G, Ernest Vugan and Pan-Symphonic Orchestra, 1963”.

After transferring the record from the desk, Briggs remains alone in the office to listen to the record privately. His briefing is actually found on a groove in the middle of the record; The outer part contains only music. Once the IMF mission details are transmitted, the voice on the record says: “As usual, this entry will decompose a minute after the rupture.” .

For co -authors and director McCuri honors the series “Origin in” Rogue Nation “, he has Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruz) to visit a full -fledged London shop in London, called” Vinyl’s Offer “. What is a Jazz Recording, the 1961 album “Thelonious Monk with John coltrane” is given a briefing, and aimed at watching the 21st century.

One additional honoring is how both scenes give a little color regarding the reputation of their agents. In the “pilot” voice on the record shows that Briggs returns to the IMF after some rest, saying, “I hope it” welcome back “, Dan. It has passed for a while.” In “Rogue Nation”, meanwhile, Hanta is given the first of several reminders of her overall heritage within the IMF staff who notices him that “this is really you” and thinks aloud when all the stories she heard about it may be true. In response, Hunt just gives her a mysterious smile.

In the “pilot” briefing, Briggs goes without a cloud. The agent learns about the mission, chooses his team and continues to remove the impossible task with relative ease. However, in “Rogue Nation” Khanta was unlucky, revealing in the middle of the briefing that all this connection was abducted by evil syndicates, a mate of robbery agents of different special services who took over to disrupt and dismantle the world order for their own emo -emoj. The scene is a reasonable undermining (literally) building blocks of the entire franchise, and the syndicate intercepts and outgrowing the mission. To add an insult to this trauma, a recording employee is even tough in front of Hunt’s eyes when he was trapped and carbonable-mad-murder, who was none other than the head of the syndicate, ex-agent Mi6 Solomon Lane (Sean Harris), who was in the store all the time.

With this scene, McCurus and co-author Drey Pierce pull the double honor not only to the original origin of the franchise, but also to the tone and themes installed by the first movie “Mission: impossible” and its previous continuation. Starting with the movie de Palma, the franchise took a long and brutal look at all sides of the existence of impossible forces of missions, the organization is so secret that it can be too underground for its own good. After Jim Phelps, the IMF and those behind it, they questioned the loyalty of hunting once and again. But while Hunt remained unwavering (except when his orders go against his strict genuine morality in the north), the IMF survived a number of foggy, betrayal, defects, losses and other seismic problems. The main of the philosophical issues of property: how can such an organization continue to act ethically and can it continue to exist?

With this scene, after receiving loans from Rogue Nation, McCurus puts Hunt and IMF on the test, and uses a long franchise history to truly twist the screws. He even reveals that a recording staff officer is an IMF agent, or at least some staff, demonstrating how dangerous it can work even in this capacity, despite Hunt’s tendency to jump over the aircraft in the middle of Takeoff. With the “final calculation” on the horizon for Hunt (and possibly “Mission: impossible” franchise), this is due to the fact that the Maccurs can even more return to the long history of the IMF, and all the rates on whether Hunt can bring to the storm. To paraphrase Tom CruzThis mission can really get much more impossible.
