Memories of Zombie Movies

Hong Kong zombie films should be a model created by combining Eastern demons and Western zombies (vampires). Once upon a time, there were both horror and comedy, and it was the representative of Hong Kong genre films. I remember that in the past, the midnight theater of XX Film Station mainly put zombie films. . Lin Zhengying (Heavenly Master) and Qian Xiaohao (Heavenly Master's apprentice) are the representatives, and many people played them at that time, such as Chen You (also a Heavenly Master), Xu Guanying (unlucky), Lou Nanguang (also unlucky), Wu Ma (monk) , Wu Junru (unlucky girl)...I

haven't counted them carefully, but I have watched at least 20 zombie movies. Unfortunately, zombie movies are mainly entertainment, and the plots are single. Except for the actors, the content is almost unimpressive. I remember zombies jumping. Yes, this is probably the main reason for the demise of zombie movies. The most impressive ones are "Mr. Zombie", "Uncle Zombie", "Ghostbusters", etc. It is worth mentioning "Ghostbusters", directed by Liu Zhenwei, and the screenwriter is the yet-to-be-famous Wong Kar-wai, it's quite funny, I haven't watched it The children's shoes may need to be mended. Another is the TV series "I have a date with a zombie".

"Zombie" is undoubtedly a good film, so I won't say much about the good points. The CG of the film is not very powerful, especially when the final boss fight is very rough, it is better to use less and more traditional. The plot is not full enough, and the rhythm is not well grasped. Some places are long-winded, some places jump, and there are many unclear logic.

——The twin ghosts always remind me of Xiao Hao's good performance in "Rose, Red Lotus" , which is worthy of praise, especially the sense of despair, which may be similar to my own experience. Reminds me of the classic sentence of playing the super villain in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng": My life is up to me! It's really not what it used to be. Among the several costumes Xiaohao brought, in addition to the zombie costumes of the Qing Dynasty, there is a little bit that should be in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng". Judging from the label on the last foot, Xiaohao is also a person of 50+, so he will not complain about the fat on his stomach.

At the end of the easter egg, there is a person sitting in the movie theater. It should be the director, right?

    "Many people say that the plot of the movie is ridiculous. It turns out that life is more ridiculous than the movie." Shocking, nostalgic, more fearful, the more attractive you look down. …In 2013, the most terrifying audio-visual award of Wong Kar Wai, the zombie played by Wu Yaohan met all expectations. "If one day, I lose my memory, you must teach me how to laugh again. To laugh is actually very tiring."

    The red-threaded glutinous rice is still there today, but Lin Zhengying is nowhere to be seen. Like the closedness of the "Kung Fu" pig cage walled city and the tribute to its predecessors, the relaunch of a zombie film that has not been touched for many years, the performance of the old drama bone is worthy of appreciation. It's a pity that the changes in the age are not what it used to be, the story is dry and heavy, and aesthetics and Japanese style are too heavy for formality, and they can't go back anymore. Just like the dying dream at the end, the zombie scene is gone, and after all, it is safe to die.
