Even if you don't like the movie you've seen it, why should you understand the plot? Of course, it is human nature to be curious, and if you say you have to find out, it makes sense. Then there is the second question, why don't you feel when you watch this Nie Yinniang, the story must be vulgar, and even if it is interesting, it is elsewhere.
I didn't resonate with the film because it felt unsurprising.
One is that I like stories that are light and detached, and the relationship between people should not be too sticky, such as the legend of Tang Dynasty, rather than childhood sweethearts killing each other and wives and concubines fighting in the palace. The handling of paper figurines and the omission of Kong Konger are just regrettable, and the setting that Jinger is the eldest wife is simply disgusting.
Second, when it comes to realism, can the ancients be called realism as if they had just done a face mask after taking a shower? Can half-literal and anti-daily staged silence be called realism?
Third, when each disliked shot is stagnant for too long, dislike escalates into boredom.
Fourth, since there is such a thing as "confident and even aggressive arty", this movie must have a bad point of attracting Meiya.
Next, I will discuss these four points in detail.
For me, what attracted me most to Nie Yinniang was the building that hangs in the middle of the mountain at the beginning, which has a bit of the steepness of the Tang legend. Some friends think that the parent-child play is also very flavorful, quite a Japanese movie, but it is not surprising. And when I remembered that I saw this scene in the original work, so I killed it late, but when I arrived in the movie, it became a no-kill, and I couldn't help but feel deeply bored. Woolen cloth? Didn't the official you killed immediately have his own family and children?
Of course, you can say that Nie Yinniang is a simple person, like the heroine of a morning drama, without such a brain circuit. But I think it is pure to hesitate or kill at this time. A person who has been trained as a killer since childhood, sees someone posting a baby, and becomes a mother. He has overcome the education and inertia he has received for more than ten years, and an independent personality is so called. Come on, it's really boring.
The entire movie that follows is about childhood sweethearts killing each other so cruelly and sadly—the most common way of Japanese middle-school cartoons. But since Nie Yinniang doesn't even kill strangers who show off her baby, she will kill not only the dominant baby, but also the recessive baby (in Orchid's belly), as handsome as an idol star, but also like herself. small person? Not to mention the palace fighting mode in the future, Nie Yinniang said the phrase "Hu Ji is pregnant" - does the parent-child relationship dominate everything? It has made the film's worldview of values narrow and boring to the extreme (for me). Selling this kind of popular feeling should be the main reason why Nie Yinniang can attract those people who are actually related because of vulgarity, so they can be assured of Meiya. Just look at those lonely but emotional movie reviews.
Finally, let's talk about the possible advantages: elsewhere. Whether Nie Yinniang's slowness can lead people into another time and space, this kind of experience is the essence of the film's content (beyond the form). I don't watch many movies, some Japanese and Vietnamese movies that are full of everyday life are slow enough to enjoy, while Nie Yinniang is too slow for me to tolerate. Or because the scenes, costumes and makeup are too stage-like, and the gorgeousness is similar to the various ancient blockbusters that have been taken for granted before. What Nie Yinniang shows is not a Tang Dynasty with a real sense of everyday life, but a freehand image that is common in film and television dramas. There is almost no extra imagination in this regard.
A large segment of slow motion gave meaningless silence. I often wondered if the ancients regarded life as a catwalk, why they were always so boring that they couldn't make a fart with a few sticks, and they were content with big eyes and small eyes, but it's a pity to grind The work of the Mirror Boy just passed by in a hurry. Nie Yinniang's attention was completely attracted by the bloody plot, and she seldom stopped to look elsewhere, leading us into the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, or the daily life of an assassin.
It's really freehand, so I hate ink painting. It uses the mechanism of paper and the infiltration of ink stains. It's so empty that it lacks experience, or it's so abstract that it can only be attached to emotions, and these emotions in the bloody plot are quite shallow and shallow. Childish, it's hard for me to take it seriously. This kind of emptiness cannot be filled by the beauty of a pear tree, not to mention that this pear tree with no reason is far worse than the prosperous yellow flowers that suddenly appeared from the courtyard at the end of the Qingbingwei film in the evening.
Different viewing conditions will also affect the perception of the movie. Is this a good movie that I have not fully appreciated? It is possible, but it is not a pity to miss it, because it is not surprising.
