Bright spots and pale spots (when will domestic film translation stop misleading the masses)

Let’s talk about the jokes that everyone discussed fiercely:
especially the monk’s phrase don’t forget to breath
before the American child asked not “what should we do” or “I’m freezing to death”,
he asked what if i can 't handle it, what if i freeze
means if I can't beat them (heavenly soldiers and generals), what if I'm petrified, what should I do
because freeze only means freeze in passive voice,
so the monk replied that this sentence is Very appropriate, it means to tell him to deal with all this calmly and calmly, take a deep breath, and muster the courage to break through.
In addition, at the end, the Monkey King said: you freed me, now go free yourself, there is no problem at all, otherwise you will let people say something. . .
In fact, many movies in China are poorly translated. Not only in China, I watched the original English movies in France, and the French subtitles of many sentences were not correct at all, which is inevitable. Therefore, it is recommended that you try to watch the original Chinese subtitles in English, at least where there is ambiguity, you can refer to both sides for comparison.

In addition, everyone also mentioned the inner smoky makeup. I thought it was very retro when I first saw it. Don't I think this is a kind of nostalgia and tribute to the old Hong Kong kung fu films.
It was a little funny that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother flew away, but at the end I didn't feel anything at all, Chinese gods all blow. Although the western implication of Nei Gemen is obvious, it is very good that the immortals did not use the foreigners to cast spells.
And at the end, Li Bingbing grabbed her hair. It's someone's weapon inside. Well, you don't have to rely on this to survive. Besides, her movements and expressions are quite beautiful.
There is also the part of God of War molesting, the girl inside is plump and sexy, I guess she has a future. . . -_-
(I just read everyone's comments and learned about her background, and I feel more promising. Don't you think the inside camera is very meaningful? Don't you think her expression grabs the camera, it's obvious? I didn't know her before. Who is it, but I remember after reading it, I don't remember what the first woman looks like.)

I quite like this film, there is no so-called sex scene in the whole article, it is all white meat in recent years The so-called blockbuster or the so-called independent film is a very refreshing special case.
This kind of story, just as a fairy tale, is quite good.
In addition, the music left a deep impression on me. The main theme is the combination of Chinese and Western, which is very shocking. Although it's the usual rhythm of a fantasy blockbuster, it's still pretty good.
The animation at the beginning is also very good, many of which I don't know, but I think it is an exciting memory for fans of Hong Kong kung fu movies, and it is also a tribute to the director.

One thing that makes me less satisfied is that after so many years of double-J in the United States, why is English still so bad. Especially Li Lianjie, his voice is not very good, and his pronunciation is really bad. Although Liu Yifei said that she grew up in the United States, she still has the feeling of reciting her lines, and only a few sentences are more natural. Li Bingbing is said to have gone through a lot of hard training, but her only long dialogue in the whole film (at the Peach Blossom Forest) is still quite stumbling. But what impressed me deeply was the words Li Bingbing said before bringing the American children into the palace, the excellent jugement, it was really nice to hear! But in the end, the bitch that I scolded when I fought with Liu Yifei was rather unbelievable. Why don't the director make a prequel to explain the deep hatred between the two of them?-_-

Second, the martial arts movements are a bit lazy, and they are light and unreal. . Jackie Chan really feels old and a little immobile. In addition to the two-stage stick-playing (and the last part of the practice), the American children's fighting scenes are really uncomplimentable. Having said that, I have to mention the part of apprenticeship and learning art. It's too watery -_-, are there any new tricks? ! On average, the best fighting scene in the whole film is the double-J part, but in fact, if you look closely, there are not many highlights, and you forget it after watching it. What impresses me the most is that Jackie Chan and his children beat the officers and soldiers with a stick in the restaurant, and there is a sense of design.
Liu Yifei's kung fu didn't show much, that is, the middle part of the practice was quite amazing, and the other movements were very soft. However, she can be considered to have just stepped into the women's world. If she has a foundation in dancing, it is still very interesting to develop like Zhang Ziyi. As for Li Bingbing, the movements designed for her feel that without a whip, there is basically no combat effectiveness, and the so-called white bone claws are nothing special.
Needless to say, God of War, a hard kung fu man, it is very enjoyable to fight, but the internal weapons are a bit fake.

In terms of plot, this film basically belongs to the type of watching one minute to know the next minute's plot, which is a major feature of the now flooded fantasy films. But you must know that when fantasy literature first began to develop, it all followed the same character structure and storyline, and it still fascinated countless fantasy fans around the world. welcome by people all over the world. We are now watching more and more complicated plots. Why? Because we have watched too many movies and have experienced all plots. Of course, we need to update and better. But it's not easy to make a cliché well, and it's even harder to make something new from a cliché. I think as far as this film is concerned, the director basically handed in a passing grade, and everything that should be expressed is expressed, and there is nothing particularly unreasonable and illogical. The only thing that is a bit blunt is that the appearance of Shaolin Temple seems to be forced to be added, which is a bit abrupt.
But in general, as a fantasy film for children who love kung fu in the United States, or for some kung fu fans who have not lost their innocence, it is not bad. And healthy, how good. I'm almost tired of watching it now, there must be a ooxx in every movie.

The highlight is that at the end of the film, the unkempt old man has been bowing his head in the dim house, and finally, in the sun, the audience finally sees clearly that he is Jackie Chan. Forgive me for being an obtuse audience, and I did get on the director's path at the beginning, and Mi paid attention. So when I finally saw this moment, I felt that the story was quite full, it drew a perfect circle, and also quoted a lot of what Jackie Chan said about the meaning of immortality.
So at the end, you will find that the fate of the American child and Jackie Chan is the most touching and profound clue in this film. If you can recall the music in the opening sequence when the American child walked into the pawnshop, you will feel the bond between these two people for centuries or even millennia, the bond between mortals and gods. . .

And the sentence at the end of the film is not a tricky thing for the director to keep for himself to shoot the sequel, who knows.
