Film review: "The Holy Grail Artifact: City of Bones"

magic x fantasy x idols x large-scale dazzling fighting x gay x brother-sister infidelity, these key words detonated together and became the story line of "City of Bones". I admit, I don't like fantasy dramas, not at all. And I always stubbornly thought that there are really good stories in life dramas. I will watch this movie, in fact, mainly because of the title. A "Holy Grail", a "Bone", the "Holy Grail" seems to imply mysterious colors such as the origin of Christianity, and "Bone", I was expecting to have a powerful layout that will be gradually revealed. , The story is a story, and there is a conspiracy behind the conspiracy, which is a bit of a bloody meaning to face life. But the film's layout of these two points is very different from my guess.

If it can be summed up in one sentence, it is an idol drama in a magical cloak. The large-scale fighting throughout the film is actually more like creating a thriller. It is always the heroine and various boys who are chased and killed by dog-shaped Demons. As soon as he took a breath, the next wave of chase came again. As for the heroine, regardless of whether she knows her life background, whether she has superpowers or not, she maintains the fearless spirit of moving forward all the way, and the red star shines to fight! In the process of being chased and killed, more and more obvious character relationships are being revealed: the heroine's prince turns out to be her brother, and Simon, who has been with the heroine all the time, has always been regarded as a brother, never leaving The heroine's very important brother. Later, the heroine's father finally appears, whose irresponsible and brazenness is in stark contrast to the kind and reliable lover, Shu Mi. The classic scene is that the father and the son are in a fierce confrontation, tit-for-tat to fight for the heart of the heroine who has the superpower of the Holy Grail in the tarot card!

Of course, the picture of the film is still good, and the rhythm of the use of the lens is well grasped. This allows the audience to integrate into the plot effortlessly. You can soberly judge the blood of the plot, but at the same time, you can easily integrate into the picture, which is something that most domestic films cannot do. I don’t know if everyone who likes to watch blockbusters is the same as I think? The sense of picture, as well as the technical work of shooting, I have to say that they are still superior. Furthermore, from domestic to foreign, the magic weapon that is common is "Yan". This is also the truth that I have only learned in the past two years because I have insufficient IQ balance: 99% of the people are appearance associations! When I'm obsessed with what that thing means, people just want to see what they look like! Whether inside or outside the film, that's basically the same thing! There are as many handsome guys and beauties in this film as crucian carp crossing the river, which ensures the basic box office while ensuring the aesthetic needs of the public. Even if you didn't watch the plot, it would be pleasing to watch with so many faces.

As for the "skeleton" that I was obsessed with at the beginning, it appeared, and it was indeed a place where many bones were stacked. But there was only an urn full of walls, and it was neither opened nor the shock of instant ashes. It was basically finished with a question. The Silent Brothers in the City of Bones just sewed their mouths with crappy needles, so they were silent. Hehe, not scary, not mysterious, just funny. I thought that the cloaked sweatshirts of the silent brothers can be kept here. The characters themselves don't need to be so troublesome at all. Isn't it more shocking that the faces of men and women are exactly the same? Does it have to be that straightforward? Seriously underestimate the intelligence of the masses. In a bunch of beautiful pictures, the ending itself is not very important and it is human nature. The ending is summed up in one sentence: the father is not as reliable as the lover, the "brother" who has been silent by the heroine's side continues to remain silent, the unrelated love is a complete victory, and the fight is over, and the two who are peaceful will continue to be sweet. together. At this point, the gorgeous idol drama in the magic coat came to an end.

Good. The sense of picture and the packaging of fantasy stories can soothe the boring and boring life of ordinary life, and also realize the fantasy of love-hate entanglement. Who said idol dramas are just a category of TV dramas? Just the world of Korean dramas, Japanese dramas and Taiwan dramas? Beautiful face + sadomasochistic love, and then put on the coat of the war of resistance, the coat of martial arts, the coat of crossing, and now, the coat of magic and fantasy, how well it meets the fairy tale of the national fantasy. Idol drama, never out of date!
