However, it was the first time I left halfway through, and I couldn't stand it any longer. This may also have something to do with me going to the movies alone. Don't worry about the feelings of your companions, it's like watching a movie on the computer alone at home. If you find that it doesn't look good, just close it.

So let me tell you why I think this movie disappointed me?
Because I feel outdated. Except for the part where Jackie Chan was sliding on the curve before the title came out, I found it very exciting. The later story exhausted all the abuses of commercial films, beauties, fights, contradictions, comedy, and finally added national sentiment. Originally, this kind of patriotism was to improve the story to a higher level, but it made people feel that it was deliberately preaching, and it was too hypocritical. Therefore, "Zodiac" has evolved into a lifeless, patchwork super copycat version of "Double". Bao Qi Soldier. Especially those funny scenes that were deliberately performed to create a laugh were so blunt that I was overwhelmed. Yes, in fact, when you take it apart, there is nothing wrong with every scene design. This movie has all the eye-catching bridges and factors that can be copied from textbooks. I believe that the film textbooks and film director graduates. Anyone can use it. This film also cleverly uses all the elements that can make a film successful, the mentality of hunting for treasures, the fragrant dragon woman, the scenery of several countries, the idiots and the bad guys, the contradictions, the change of mentality from bad to good, like Similar to the success of some films of the same type before copying, the characterization of every detail is very serious. In this process, the film is out of balance!
Why the comedy of "Thailand" can make the audience burst into laughter, but "Zodiac" makes people laugh hard. Because the jokes of "Zodiac" are so fake. The villain is not serious enough, as if he is deliberately playing tricks, so that people can see that there is no burden at all, and the tension will not be able to rise and fall, so it will not let people really feel the patriotism that Jackie Chan wants to convey in the film. mood. If you are serious with such a group of Habao bad guys, you will look like an idiot. Faced with such a group of French idiots, how can you mobilize the patriotic sentiment of the Chinese nation in an instant? It's not obviously a farce. Since you can't feel the seriousness of patriotism, the conflicts you want to create appear redundant and ridiculous.
Maybe it has something to do with the actors too. Huang Bo is also an enemy character with intensified contradictions in "Tai 囧". He is also the key to making jokes. His performance makes us feel that he is really hating, really bad, and really fighting against Xu Zheng. Although he has been frustrated many times, he is earnestly resisting, so all the funny plots that come out of it will make people feel very enjoyable and make people feel that he is very hurt. Although "Thai Embarrassment" can't be compared with the social problems of returning home during the Spring Festival in the first "People are in the Embarrassing Way", the excellent actors and humorous screenwriters in line with the trend of the times are enough to make up for the flaws in the source of its contradictions. Not only makes people laugh out loud, but also some warmth makes tears roll in the eyes.
"Thai 囧" has a good grasp of the "degree", so the whole film also makes people feel comfortable and at ease. "Zodiac" is seriously out of balance in the process of portraying, wanting everything, but getting nothing in the end, every surprise and laughing point seems to be slapped on the ground, and it is not formulated according to the needs of the story. Once something is not balanced, it can easily backfire.
If Zodiac had appeared ten years ago, it would have been fantastic. But now, it's outdated and outdated, people's viewing habits are changing, people's viewing level is improving, please be more creative and inspirational, and less copy and paste, if Jackie Chan makes this kind of movie again, the audience will Sooner or later, it will not buy it, really.
"Thai 囧" was a success, with low cost in exchange for high returns; "Zodiac" did not fail because of Jackie Chan, but as time goes by, it will gradually be forgotten, we still remember Jackie Chan's old movies, that one "Red Tomato".
