A peaceful festive atmosphere has a great effect on the audience's endurance and tolerance. The intention of this film and last year's "Havoc in Heaven" to be released on the first day of the new year should be here. Therefore, although this film made the urban management team captain played by Jackie Chan make such a vulgar move as catching the [beep] dragon claw hand, the next step is the old-fashioned setting of taking off the veil and getting married. All gladly accepted. I guess the earliest setting of this film is that Jackie Chan and Jaycee Chan act together, and come to battle with father and son. The original plot should be when the female donor took off her clothes and forced Jaycee Chan to practice the Heart Sutra of the Jade Girl with him, Jackie Chan suddenly jumped out and shouted "Your sister". It's a pity that this setting finally became empty because of Jaycee Chan's [beep].
I don't know how much director Li Rengang likes to watch "Tian Long Ba Bu". The main stage of the story has to be set at Yanmenguan where Xiao Feng committed suicide. With the progress of the story, Yanmenguan gradually became a sea of joy, and an ancient version of the Spring Festival Gala was staged here. There are singing and dancing by compatriots of all ethnic groups, martial arts performances, congratulatory messages from international friends, and even language programs brought by Yantou and his friends. It's just that after watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV this year, I always feel that the combination of Chopsticks Legend is not enough without two people. The two songs here are quite imposing, and the song by the big brother Jackie Long aside from his singing skills, I also like the lyrics and melody very much. However, my good friend Master Li next to me expressed a different opinion on this. He said that there is a lyric in it, which seems to be singing "Turn troubled times into flying", which sounds cruel.
From the shape to the plot, it is difficult for people to associate it with serious historical themes, but it actually claims to be based on real historical stories, and the director also likes to take Huo Qubing, Crassus and other historical figures from the East and the West. The name came out loud. Feng Shaofeng, who was messed up everywhere in "Wolf Totem", is quite stylish in this film, and has become the spiritual idol of everyone. The origin of all stories is Wu Jianhao and Lin Jiaxin, who do not like to talk about people, to explore his Sagittarius Golden Saint Clothes.
Compared with the names of Crassus and Huo Qubing, the appearance of another familiar name in the film made my eyes light up and the chrysanthemum tightened. This person is Thebes played by Adrien Brody. There is no doubt that this is the most brilliant character in the whole play, sassy and domineering. This kind of oppressive super villain is not played well, it will make people feel like a hang-up, and it is easy to force the audience so nervous that the string breaks and loses the sense of substitution. Brody successfully mastered this role, making the audience feel that following the protagonists in the film has suffered so much, if it is because of such a domineering president, then it is worth it. Although this movie doesn't make me feel that there is a strong sense of substitution, this is because the plot itself is procrastinated, not the fault of the actors. I care so much about this character, not only because of Brady's outstanding performance, but also because when I see the character's name, I can't help but think of the bear child in the third season of the TV series "Spartacus" and it hurts to ride Caesar without a horse. If the bear boy of the year lived to the age of Brody and accidentally took power, I really believed that his bear temper could kill him enough to send the army to China.
The official debut of Thebes changed the style of the movie from the Spring Festival Gala to a domestic talent show at once, and everyone started to work hard. All the characters who can be named or remember their faces are basically the protagonists, except for the male and female dogs. Down the street. Among them, the one who can confidently shout "Who dares to be worse than me" is Luques played by John Cusack. I thought that since he had survived to the final battle, even if he was blind, he would still be able to fight alongside Jackie Chan as the number two male. As a result, this section was arranged for him just to make it easier for him to die in front of Big Brother Jackie Chan so that he could abuse him at the end. As tragic as this character is, I can't help but want to talk about the chains that bind him. Unexpectedly, Thebes still has such deep attainments in rope skills that Jackie Chan couldn't figure it out after fiddling with it for a long time. But is the rack that binds Luques to highlight the short stature of Asians? Why do people have to be tied up in this enchanting posture with their hands and feet curled up? The originally tragic picture was unexpectedly a little more joyful. Imagine if the statue of Jesus in the church is in such a pose, there is no solemnity at all.
As a film that discusses such grand themes as war, peace, and nation, it is understandable that it is full of sacrifice and death, but what I can't bear the most is that the film actually kills Xiao Zhengtai in the second half of the film. Although I don't like children, I am more disgusted with dead children in movies. As we often say in Hollywood movies, "Black people die first, white people die later, women die less, and children don't die." Children represent hope, purity and innocence, so there are few unnatural deaths of children in genre films. Of course, the child character is not completely immortal, but it is usually at the beginning of the film as the cause of the story; in the second half of the story, after the audience has established an emotional connection with the child character, killing the child in the film will seriously hurt the audience. emotions, such a setting should be avoided as much as possible.
Over the past few years, Jackie Chan has become more and more fond of explaining the truth to everyone in the movie with an elderly attitude of "I feel anxious for you". This enthusiasm for sharing one's own insights is very kind and encouraging. However, when Jackie Chan's sermons meet Li Rengang's middle two, it will cause serious damage to the fluency and entertainment of an action movie. The villain and the protagonist have sympathy for each other in the process of mutual abuse, the villain must be cleaned up before he dies, the willful art style, and the obsession with the details of weapons and props. It is the performance of Li Rengang Secondary Two. The second is not necessarily derogatory, just like Li Rengang's art style, if you watch it too much, you will feel a little handsome. At least I think it is much better than the garishness of "Havoc in Heaven" last year. Lu Yang, the director of last year's "Embroidered Spring Knife", was actually a bit of a middle schooler, but the movie was refreshing and lively, so people felt that middle schooler was cute and comfortable. And if something heavy is mixed into the middle and second place like this film, it will inevitably be overloaded.
Apart from the cute little shield in the hands of Jackie Chan, the action design of this film doesn't have much to make people's eyes shine, but it will not live up to the audience's expectations for an action blockbuster. It is quite lively from beginning to end, but Too tragic and solemn in the second half is not in harmony with the cheerful and festive atmosphere of the festival. The film's integration of epic sense is also worthy of recognition. The last decisive battle is a bit like "Lord of the Rings", especially the chaotic entry of the final group of eagles, which once again confirms that the various fantasy films represented by "Lord of the Rings" have always been The unbreakable truth that has been conveyed since then: a group of people fighting back and forth is still not a bird in the end.
