It’s a bit too much to see everyone scolding "The Legend of Chunli" before. In fact, although the film is a "third-rate police and gangster film", the main reason for its failure is not the plot but the character modeling. It is really far from the game. , I can't see the relationship between the heroine and Chunli in most people's imagination, why is it suddenly the hairstyle, why it suddenly became the move, and I haven't explained it clearly. I don’t know what the director is doing, the audience has to follow a story that has nothing to do with the game. Fortunately, the development of "Street Fighter: Assassination Fist" changed this point and did not disappoint me. Originally, you must know how hard it was for the boys to practice a trick in the arcade room. In return, it should not be a gangster movie, it can only be a kung fu movie! The most gratifying part of this film is that the characters are infinitely close to the game, especially the close-up shots of Ken's appearance are almost exactly the same as those in the game. This is why I am very interested in watching it. Although "Assassination Boxing" is not as fast as "Chuan Li Chuan" in terms of rhythm, it is an authentic kung fu movie because it captures the core charm of fighting games: Moves! It's a bit like Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master I" in his early years. It's a simple hard bridge. What is called "Lu Dongbin, drunk lifting pot with great power", and what is called "Xiang He, stretch waist to offer drunken drunk steps" are all divided into five to ten. The rhythm may be a little slower. The key is that this thing is the most attractive thing. Kung Fu fans. Including the wooden stakes in "Ip Man", the full-length short boxing shot is enough to go down in history, and this is the unique appreciation of kung fu movies. The same goes back to this movie. What is the most memorable "Haida Quan" and "Shanglong Quan" in the game, and what the origin is, even if it is fabricated, should be studied seriously as a homework, not sloppy. Only in this way can we see the scene of thousands of children practicing "Pegasus Meteor Fist" broadcast by "Saint Seiya", and the influence cannot be underestimated. A few years later, when the children grow up and look back on their childhood, they suddenly see such a sincere live-action series, and they will talk about it. After all, the meaning of Kung Fu is to temper one's own cultivation. It is Eastern culture, not Western culture. So in my opinion, all the "Street Fighter movies" filmed with Hollywood techniques are all failures. Even if they look very lively, they only It was just a hustle and bustle. Only one of this series, "Assassination Fist", has realized the possible breakthrough in the pursuit of art, and learned to close the eyes and experience the value of each move with heart. "Assassination Boxing" refuses to stray in style and never digress. In the game, the Japanese are the Japanese, and the Americans are the Americans. Both the narrative and the detailed processing are striving to be realistic, and even the wavelength difference of the red and white "Hawaiquan" can be shown clearly, which shows its seriousness. Telling plainly a legendary story that many people have been waiting for in the boyhood, this alone has come to life. I really hope that the director of this film can continue to direct other Street Fighter works. Don't worry, the slower the rhythm, the better. If the investment is enough, then according to the current path, "Chuan Li Biography" can also be stretched to 10 episodes, 20 episodes do not matter, layer by layer, carefully crafted. Hardcore fans who like Street Fighter will naturally understand its collection value. I'm afraid that the gold master does not have this investment vision, and the director does not have Nolan's ability to turn the Batman series into magic. The reason why I play Samsung is just because the stage it has reached now is just to make the correct look. There is at least 70% of the room for improvement in the front. The original street fighter is a skillful and wonderful story. It can be taken very well. It's not like the content of "Dragon Ball" is too surreal, it is nothing more than three-dimensional flat characters, giving them a full and sharp personality, and integrating the creator's thinking about real human nature. The core is not to lose the two big pieces of character modeling and martial arts design
