In 1991, James Cameron is the king of the world.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
is not only the biggest budget of all times,
but also the biggest hit of the year
and incidentally
of Arnold Schwarzenegger's career.
But despite this success,
James Cameron helps action movies
entering an era of modern blockbusters
particularly because
the current special effects revolution
helps him create astonishment
among the audience
while offering them truly original images.
The director is now looking ahead to his next project
and is spoilt for choices.
Creating the T-1000 was a true challenge
and everybody seem to be waiting
for him to adapt Spiderman
for which he has written a promising treatment.
But a legal imbroglio between Cannon and Marvel
prevents the project from becoming reality.
So when 20th Century Fox reveals in 1992
that Cameron and
Schwarzenneger's next project
is gonna be a remake of french movie
"La Totale" directed by Claude Zidi...

French: 
En 1991, James Cameron est déjà le roi du monde.
À cette époque, Terminator 2 : Le jugement dernier
n'est pas seulement
le plus gros budget de tous les temps,
c'est également le plus gros carton de l'année
et accessoirement,
de la carrière d'Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Mais au delà du succès populaire,
James Cameron fait surtout rentrer le cinéma d'action
dans l'ère du blockbuster moderne,
notamment dans la façon dont la révolution
des effets spéciaux numériques
lui permet de créer un effet de sidération
auprès du public
en lui proposant notamment des images
véritablement inédites dans le genre.
À ce stade, le réalisateur n'a que l'embarras du choix
quant à la mise en place de son
prochain projet,
et après l'incroyable challenge
que représente la création du T-1000 à l'écran,
beaucoup s'attendent à ce qu'il se lance
dans l'adaptation de Spider-Man
dont il a écrit un traitement prometteur.
Des soucis de droits entre la Cannon et la Marvel
empêchent cependant le projet de se concrétiser.
Aussi, lorsque le studio 20th Century Fox
annonce en 1992 que le prochain projet
de James Cameron et d'Arnold Schwarzenneger
n'est autre qu'un remake américain de
La Totale de Claude Zidi...

English: 
French film buffs are more than sceptical.
How could this explosive duo
possibly be interested
in this typically French
and somehow spineless light comedy?
Concept?
"So you're a secret agent? For real?"
Situation comedy?
"- My wife is having an affair.
- Welcome to the club."
Mixed styles?
Maybe all of the above.
Because True Lies remains
a fascinating textbook case
in the risky business of remakes,
evenmore since it is custom-made for a star,
a major first in Cameron's career,
that would be enough
for this specific movie to be a minor opus.

Cameron decides to use La Totale's structure,

La comédie de situation ?
"- Ma femme a un amant.
- Bienvenue au club."
Le mélange des genres ?
Il faut croire que c'est un peu de tout ça à la fois.
Car en effet, True Lies reste un cas d'école fascinant
dans l'exercice périlleux du remake,
à plus forte raison, car il est conçu
comme un véritable véhicule pour star,
le premier et unique cas
dans la carrière de James Cameron,
ce qui dans l'absolu pourrait l'apparenter
à une oeuvre mineure.

Even though, the project summons all his personal and cinematographic obsessions
whether it deals with relationship crisis

True Lies was meant to prove
he could also play it casual.
Then one could easily consider it

de démontrer qu'il ne se prend pas

French: 
Mais ce sont les personnages secondaires
qui attirent clairement James Cameron dans ce projet.
Il y a d'abord le sidekick, interprété par Tom Arnold,
qui troque le cynisme franchouillard de
notre Eddy Mitchell national
"Les gosses, c'est 15 secondes de plaisir,
mais 30 ans d'emmerdes."
pour une beauferie bien américaine.
Véritable point d'ancrage du spectateur lambda,
ce personnage est d'ailleurs l'un des
gros points faibles du film,
étant donné qu'il cristallise l'humour
généralement pachydermique du réalisateur
et s'impose ici comme un contrepoint total
au surhomme incarné par Schwarzenegger.
"Il faut l'empêcher de partir !"
En réalité, c'est surtout le personnage
relativement ingrat de Miou-Miou
qui se voit ici transcendé
par l'habituelle approche féministe
du cinéma de James Cameron.
Certes le cinéaste s'impose une fidélité
en cinémascope

English: 
But in this project,
Cameron is clearly attracted to supporting actors.
First the sidekick, impersonated by Tom Arnold,
swapping French singer Eddy Mitchell's cynisism
"Kids are 15 seconds of pleasure,
and 30 years of trouble."
for a more american boobery.
This character, that looks like
any given member of the audience,
is one of the weakest spots of the movie
since it totally crystallizes
Cameron's heavy-handed humour
and becomes the exact opposite
of his superhuman counterpart.
"We can't let it go!"
But here, Cameron's usual feminist approach
mostly transcends one character :
French actress Miou-Miou's part.
Even if the film-maker raises the bar using Cinemascope

sans forcément parvenir à améliorer
certains des gags bas du front du film de Claude Zidi,
comme le coup du pistolet Uzi qui dégringole
et tue quelques méchants par accident.
Mais pour chaque élément préexistant dans La Totale,
James Cameron applique un rééquilibrage narratif
qui change progressivement
les thématiques de l'intrigue.
Ainsi, la séquence de l'interrogatoire
prend un tout autre sens dans Trues Lies
notamment lorsque celle-ci est contrebalancée
par le passage du sérum de vérité
durant lequel le personnage d'Helen finit par
confronter les mensonges de son mari.
Et lorsqu'elle est finalement confrontée à l'action,
elle ne la ralentit pas du fait de sa naïveté abyssale,
mais finit au contraire par
y prendre part de manière active.
Ici, le réalisateur construit une fois de
plus le parcours d'émancipation
d'une simple madame Tout-le-Monde,

English: 
he fails to improve some of
Claude Zidi's dumb gags,
like the Uzi tumbling down the stairs,
incidently killing the bad guys.
Each element of La Totale is slightly rebalanced
in order to progressively change
the different themes of the plot.
The questioning sequence
takes a new significance
particularly because it offsets
the truth serum sequence
during which Helen eventually
confronts her husband with his lies.
And when it's time for action,
she doesn't slow it down because of her naivety,
but eventually takes an active part in it.
Cameron is building up once more
the emancipation story
of an average Jane,

just like he did with Sarah Connor,
who went from a recalcitrant victim
in The Terminator
to an authentic Valkyrie
in its admirable sequel.
As usual with Cameron,
actress Jamie Lee Curtis
has worked very hard
doing her own stunts.
That's how vigorously
she endorses her character's transformation.
Of course, True Lies wouldn't be

without what is called in technical jargon...
a whole bunch of fucking action scenes.

l'actrice Jamie Lee Curtis a d'ailleurs
mouillé la chemise
en réalisant ses propres cascades,
une manière somme toute énergique et impliquée
d'entériner la transformation
héroïque de son personnage à l'écran.
Car bien entendu True Lies ne serait pas
un film de James Cameron
s'il ne comportait pas ce que l'on appelle
communément dans le jargon technique...
des putains de scènes
d'action qui déchirent.

Loin de jouer la carte du postmodernisme analytique,
comme le faisait le film jumeau
Last Action Hero de John McTiernan,
True Lies brocarde cependant avec un esprit bon enfant
certaines œuvres emblématiques
du cinéma d'action moderne.
Pour la première fois de sa carrière,
James Cameron ne cherche pas forcément
à devancer le genre dans lequel il oeuvre,
mais se plait au contraire à multiplier les
citations et hommages,
notamment quand il enquille
les cascades typiques des James Bond
ou encore les fusillades opératiques
du cinéma de John Woo.
Ici et là, il propose même quelques
détournements de son propre cinéma,

ou encore de celui de la carrière
d'Arnold Schwarzenegger,
en brocardant Commando, par exemple.
Bref, il ne manque
plus qu'une référence à Clint Eastwood,
faites-nous confiance, on s'en occupe.
De là à dire que le film de Cameron a
sonné le glas du cinéma d'action des années 80,
il n'y a qu'un pas qu'il est
facile de franchir pour deux raisons spécifiques :
D'une part, parce que l'intrigue
se moque d'une menace terroriste,
nous rappelant aujourd'hui que le film a été tourné
à une époque plus insouciante,
d'autre part les incroyables scènes d'action de True Lies
enterrent environ 98% des films
tournés à cette période.
Et pourtant, même en s'inspirant
fortement des classiques pétaradants,

English: 
or even Schwarzenegger's,
like Commando.
Now we're only short of
a reference to Clint Eastwood,
but don't worry, we're on it.
It would be easy to say
Cameron's movie sounded the death knell
of 80's action films,
and this for two specific reasons :
First because the plot
makes fun of a terrorist menace,
recalling us this was a more carefree era,
then because the breathtaking
action scenes in True Lies
outshine almost 98% of the movies
shot at that time.
Even if he draws his inspiration

James Cameron parvient à créer des
séquences fortes
qui vont trouver une certaine répercussion
dans le cinéma d'action à venir
y compris et surtout celui qui ne parvient
pas vraiment à réinventer le genre.
C'est ainsi qu'on retrouvera des bribes
de la scène du pont
dans Mission Impossible III
ou encore de la baston dans les toilettes
dans Mission impossible : Fallout.
Plus flagrant encore, la scène de poursuite à cheval
inspire le réalisateur de John Wick 3
Et, sacrilège, le climax sur le jet
se retrouve carrément pompé
dans le nullâtre Die Hard 4 : Retour en enfer.

in Mission: impossible - Fallout.
Even more blatant is the horse chase
that inspired John Wick 3's director
And, holy crap, Live Free or Die Hard
even rips off the climax with the jet.

James Cameron est incapable
de faire dans la demi-mesure.
Et 25 ans après sa sortie,
True Lies continue d'inspirer les plus
gros blockbusters de différentes factures,
même si le résultat ne lui arrive
évidemment jamais à la cheville...
Pas mal, pour une oeuvre mineure, non ?

English: 
Even confronted to a commissioned movie
he is willing to transform
into a personal project,
James Cameron is obviously unable
to do things by half.
And 25 years later,
True Lies still inspires
the biggest and most different blockbusters,
even if they're still nowhere near as good.
Not so bad for a minor opus, right ?
