top gun: maverick (english) Review
In a memorable moment from the original Top Gun, Maverick receives a scolding from a superior who bluntly states, "Son, your ego is making promises your body can't fulfill." I sometimes ponder if Tom Cruise took that criticism as a personal challenge. Few movie stars match Cruise's current dedication and willingness to push his limits. The highly entertaining Top Gun: Maverick showcases Cruise reprising his role as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, the confident Navy pilot with aviator sunglasses, a Kawasaki motorcycle, and an insatiable need for speed. Despite now being a Navy test pilot in his late 50s, Maverick remains as arrogant and rebellious as ever. The film unfolds with an exhilarating opening sequence where he tests a new plane to its extremes, earning himself a return to TOPGUN, the elite pilot-training school, as a form of punishment. Here, he must train the best and brightest for a perilous new mission. The three screenwriters, including Cruise's regular collaborator Christopher McQuarrie, weave the original threads into an intergenerational male weepie, creating a dad movie of epic proportions. Capitalizing on nostalgia while aiming for heightened emotional depth, the soundtrack features Lady Gaga's "Hold My Hand," evoking a different sentiment than the iconic chart-topper "Take My Breath Away" from the original. The action sequences surpass those of the original, providing a more immersive experience as the actors underwent intense flight training and piloted actual planes during shooting. Top Gun: Maverick harks back to an era of practical filmmaking, a departure from today's reliance on computer-generated visual effects. Cruise, the driving force behind the movie, seems compelled to tell a tale where older and younger pilots clash, and advanced F-18s face off against weathered F-14s, illustrating that there's room for both the old and the new. In doing so, he advocates for the enduring allure of movies, showcasing their ability to captivate with intense action and sweeping emotions.
