Endless Love: After Viewing "Myth"

I finished reading "Myth" two days ago, and I am still immersed in the atmosphere of the storyline and can't extricate myself. I read some reviews during this period, mixed reviews, no matter what others say, from my point of view, I think this movie is great.
From the plot, "Myth" is a typical love movie. It tells a poignant love story, a very Korean tragic story. A tragic character, the romance tells the fate of the tragedy, and the ending of the tragedy makes people sad to the end. We are all too familiar with this Korean style of sensationalism, but after a long test, we will eventually be captured by it. Just because of this kind of love, there are in film and television works, but not in real life. It is said that "the filming is a lunatic, and the watching is a fool". If I can't find the emotion that moves me in reality, I would rather be a fool and be deceived again and again. The protagonists of the story are only two Jackie Chan who plays the general Meng Yi and Kim Hee Sun who plays Yu Shu. Their feelings are forged in the flames of life and death. Therefore, Yu Shu only smiled when he saw Meng Yi. Meng Yi went through fire and water only for Yu Shu to live; only for the words "to live", it was Yu Shu's thousands of years of waiting, only for the words "see you again", it was Jack Dreaming back to the Qin Dynasty... You can sneer and point out what is unreasonable, how and how is unrealistic. The question of whether your discussion of romantic films is reasonable or not, and whether it is realistic or unrealistic is simply ridiculous. You must know that watching romantic films is not a project or a project, and there is no need to conduct a feasibility analysis. There is only one purpose: to find a little bit in the emotional ice field. Be gentle, melt the indifference in your heart, and give yourself a reason to hope. If you've made up your mind to go to a romance movie, be sure to take the plunge, don't expect a lot of what it can't give, and then say "I regret watching it" with extreme disappointment. SORRY, far away.
In terms of expression, "Myth" has added some martial arts and a little nonsense. At the same time, science fiction is also a very important component. When it comes to martial arts, I think, it is a bit strange to have a civilian like an archaeologist with such good skills, but then I think about what the Indian master said, "the unity of man and sword, this is the fate of your previous life", since Jack It is Meng Yi from the previous life, who deserves to be unrivaled in martial arts, but still thinks that it may be more suitable for Jack to change jobs. In other words, for such a tragic story, if you let the audience cry from the beginning to the end, and then cry out whether it is good or bad, it is not easy to divide the responsibility, plus Jackie Chan's consistent style, so it should be. Speaking of sci-fi, I always consider myself to be a sci-fi fan, so of course I like this setting very much, and the scenes with sci-fi colors are well made and usually look good. As far as "Myth" is concerned, the suspension of objects really gives a deep impression. Although "Myth" has a lot of elements, this cannot hide the fact that it is essentially a love movie, not an action movie or a comedy as some people say. If you are only attracted by the martial arts action and funny scenes, just It would be unfair to shout "Mythology sucks".
From an actor's point of view, Jackie Chan is indeed as many people have commented - it's too vicissitudes of life, thinking that his children are all grown up, and he even went to learn young people to fall in love, which is really a suspicion of pretending to be tender. However, as has been analyzed in the previous paragraph, martial arts and nonsensical are both indispensable parts of the film, so let me ask: who can fight, be funny, and have box office appeal, who is more suitable than Jackie Chan? ! Kim Hee-sun is very beautiful and his acting skills are remarkable. Although I still had to rely on checking the information until Liwen, I would realize that she is not the same person as Kim Soyeon in "Seven Swords" (the same is true for Korean beauties), but I still like her very much, and she is shallow attracted by the smile.
I can't help but want to talk about the theme song "Endless Love", I may as always tune it first and then lift it up, but in my opinion, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, so I like this song very much. Jackie Chan sang very ordinary, of course, we all understand this very well. Kim Hee Sun's singing is euphemistic, but there is no Chinese in the solo part, and we really don't understand it. I had to go to Baidu to find this song. The lyrics are very well-written and the plot fits well, and the composition and arrangement are even better. I have to use "sweet soul" to modify it to be reconciled - in my impression, this may be me. This is the first time I use such exaggerated words to modify something, but I think it's worth it. Even if you can't hear a single word of the lyrics, it's already a classic in terms of the tune. You can feel strong emotions from it, and at this time, if you think about the plot of the movie, you will immediately become emotional again. That's why "days after watching Myth, I still have the passion to write so many passionate words."
Q&A time. Shao Bing and many others questioned, "For thousands of years, why couldn't Yu Shu have something to do with the gentleman who protected her?" Hey, what else can I say to someone who asked such a stupid question? The reason is very simple, one is that everyone is keeping their own promises, which is the beauty, if you have to tarnish it, don't make any movies, there are many; It is allowed to spend a lot of ink on secondary issues.
But there are some shortcomings. Not only these piercing shots, as science fiction, a small part deviates from basic scientific common sense. In the weightless Qin Mausoleum, those chariots and horses were suspended in the air, and everyone was kicking and kicking them, but they only saw people flying to and fro, but they didn't see the chariots and horses moving in the opposite direction. Also, since Jack is the reincarnation of Meng Yi, he should be with Yu Shu again, I believe that if he wants, Yu Shu has no reason to fly away at the last moment, because ancient people should believe in reincarnation more than modern people . Otherwise, what is Yushu guarding? Does she really believe that she can reunite with Meng Yi, who has not taken the elixir for thousands of years? Tragedy for the sake of tragedy is really Korean.
But anyway, I still insist In my opinion, Myth is a great movie.
