The Kingsman: Secret Service
The film I am writing about is “The Kingsman: secret service”. It is a film directed by Matthew Vaughn and its main characters are : “Eggsy”, Merlin , Harry Hart, Roxy and Valentine.
Apart from Valentine,I liked all of the characters as all of them show bravery and intelligence. Valentine, on the other hand, was extremely coward and always avoided more dangerous situations. he was cunning as he always had someone do evilness for him. He didn’t really want to face problems nor enemies. In fact, though he is a world threat as he he is extremely wealthy and he is egomaniac, who only thinks on himself, he poses as a very altruist person. I particularly disliked the fact that Valentine always pretended to be a nice guy and got involved with lots of charity work, so he becomes famous through his philanthropic work, while, deep down, he is just eliminating important people.
The film focus on “Eggsy”, a young potential secret service agent, son of a former secret agent as well, who had died seventeen years before on the call of duty.
The story starts off with “Eggsy” arguing with his stepdad. later on the potential agent goes to the pub with his friends and then a guys that he knows starts calling him names. After that Eggsy leaves the pub without the other guy. Not knowing that he had taken the guy’s car keys until he hears them shouting and laughing, Eggsy speeds off but comes back reversing with the police in front of him. He eventually gets caught, sits in the interview room waiting. After he calls the number on the medal that he was given by the secret service when his real father was killed, he leaves the police station and meets Harry Hart, who is part of the secret service who served with Eggsy’s dad before he died. Hart tells him about the secret service and says that the agency is open and Eggsy joins up and is tested with a bunch of other candidates, including a girl called Roxy,whom he befriends.
Merlin is the man who oversees their training. At the end Roxy and Eggsy are the last ones but Eggsy fails by not shooting his dog. Soon after he realises his gun had been secretly loaded with blanks.
Meanwhile,Hart tracks down Valentine to a church where the latter as well as Gazelle (Valentine’s henchewoman) were conducting a test. They broadcast a signal which causes a massacre in the church and Hart is violenty killing people uncontrollably and ends up being the sole survivor, so he comes out the church but Valentine shots him. Later, Eggsy hears about this and ends up crying.He goes to the Secret service headquarters and is told by Merlin to team up with him and Roxy .They put Roxy in a high altitude balloon then Eggsy goes to Valentine and kills Gazelle and Valentine, thus saving the world.
