Blockbuster Three Supreme

First place: "Wuji"
Second place: "The Golden Armor in the City"
Third Place: "Night Banquet"

Note: In fact, the Golden Armor and the Night Banquet are basically the same, only Wuji deserves to top the list. And left the other two films far behind. The above is ranked according to the degree of rot. . .


To tell the truth, in fact, we ordinary people like this, so the big directors are scrambling to make big bad movies. In fact, it's not that we are always being played with, but we are always playing with them, so everyone likes it with so much money to make such a bad movie and to cheat money with money. After reading the Golden Armor, I was completely HIGH, and laughed heartily. Chinese blockbuster, ancient version of thunderstorm, Chinese court version of Hamlet, how creatively dig.

The annual bad movie, who said we were disappointed because we had too high expectations to watch it? We simply hold on to see how bad it is. Don't Chinese people have the mentality of watching the fun? Other directors have captured our mentality. It is bad to be bad professionally, and then it is bad to be good-looking.
If Promise = boring × 2, then it is no exaggeration to say that Chinese blockbuster = Chinese bad film. We ordinary people are so stupid that we willingly let people cheat money? NO, we ordinary people not only like to discuss which children are better and more beautiful after dinner, we are more keen to discuss which children look like monkeys and which children have low IQ after tea and dinner.

Life is too boring and the pressure to survive is too great. Therefore, people who have been suppressed for a long time need to find an outlet. Watching Chinese blockbusters, if it was just to relax the mood and break the boring life, then later it also played a role of emotional catharsis. What kind of catharsis? Swear, laugh while watching it, scolded after reading it, all of a sudden the distance is shortened, and the courage to live all of a sudden increases. In this way, we have to thank Chinese blockbusters. If it weren't for watching so many blockbusters, how could we clearly know the gap between Chinese people and the outside world, and how could we see that those actors who were packaged in dazzling fascination turned out to be like lunatics. The screen is full of teeth and grins, and the sky is flying around. From a psychological point of view, this is definitely a thing that is beneficial to our physical and mental health.

"A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bread" is more popular than Wuji, and more beautiful than Wuji. I think Chen Kaige's scolding of Hu Ge "people can't be so shameless" is more classic than his films. Therefore, assuming that Chen Kaige positioned "The Promise" as a comedy at the beginning, then there is no guarantee that a classic film equivalent to "Westward Journey" will be born in mainland China. But it doesn't matter, the pretentiousness of Wuji, the hollowness of the golden armor, and the ignorance of the night banquet, these just constitute a magnificent scene in China's blockbuster, depicting a grand blueprint of the infinitely beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland, willing to bow to the blockbuster.

crazy. You see how unkind I am, I actually said what many people thought, well, I was originally a cannon-barrel character. The psychological shadow caused by "The Night Banquet" is very wrong. To be honest, I don't really remember what the "Night Banquet" actually did. The "Wuji" I remember is still in "The Blood Case Caused by a Mantou". Cecilia Cheung kept undressing and putting on clothes on the watchtower of the ring-shaped entertainment city. The golden armor I remember is that the city is full of big girls and the city is full of little golden people. Happy and no, happy. Don't take the blockbuster too seriously, if you take it seriously, you're being tricked. Think back to when Director Zhang shot the red lanterns hanging high and Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine, can you say it's not good-looking, can you say it's bad? Don't always use the public's lack of understanding of art as an excuse, and those who speak are not too cold. The Chinese are poor. China needs to develop its economy. The Chinese like money and need money. You make money from bad movies, and the audience hits you with big bricks.

Ma Weidu said on Qiangqiang why he didn't shoot Wen Tianxiang, such a playful character. I think shooting Zhaojun out of the fortress can definitely create a large atmosphere, a vast expanse.

    It was brainwashed by public opinion that was criticized by bad reviews, and I will watch it ten years later. The plot is slack and the problem that all actors except Zhang Dongjian are very poor in acting skills still exists. But in that era, this movie was full of experimentalism and avant-garde consciousness. Get Chen Kaige's ambition and courage to overthrow the existing rules and try to establish a new oriental magic. Time will not necessarily prove that this is a good movie, but time will prove the meaning of this movie.

    Synesthesia is used between the film and the Wuji ointment, which makes the audience laugh so that their jaws are painful. I wonder if you all feel the same? The current Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are really two chrysanthemums in mainland director circles, overlapping together to form a wonderful flower.
