Who gets the credit for “Mission: Impossible”? M:I series from the perspective of the producer and director *Note! Contains spoilers.

Brian De Palma and "Operation Spy"

Brian De Palma made a name for himself by directing the horror film `` Carrie '' (1976), an adaptation of Stephen King's debut novel, and has since directed murder mysteries such as `` Dressed to Kill '' (1980) and `` The Untouchables '' (1987). He received high praise for his gangster films such as.

However, on the other hand, ` `Body Double '' (1984) turned away many viewers because it was too much of a hobby.

His style, for better or for worse, is extremely ``cinematic.'' Heavy use of split screens and slow motion. First-person shots and long takes that give you the feeling of peeking into a movie. Extreme close-up. An overhead shot from directly above. Dolly shots that circle around the characters, etc.

All of these scenes are ``cinematic'' (a method of expression that can only be achieved through video), and their elaborately crafted scenes are suitable for ``experts'', but they also have a strong individuality that can break the continuity between the two before and after. ing.

Basically 1 episode completed. Each time, a mysterious client sends orders to the leader using a tape recorder (each time, the tape recorder bursts into flames and bursts into flames). The leader creates a team of people with special abilities and carries out seemingly impossible missions. The first voice in the tape that conveys the mission to "Phelps-kun," who served as the leader in all series from season 2 onwards, "Good morning, Phelps-kun," also appears in the movie version as a dialogue.

Now. By now, you can see that De Palma and Tom Cruise have made a pretty bold move. The leader, Phelps, who is the face of the popular series, was made into a villain.
