The movie I want to talk about today is Japan's 09 action/historical drama/fantasy new film "The Great Thief Goemon"~ I have been tortured by the visual horror of Japan's so-called ad hoc films called action films or sci-fi films. The poster of the movie has the style of the previous predecessors~The main actor~It is said to be a famous character~ The cool and earthy face is grinning at us potential audiences~ So when I first saw its download on eDonkey, it was really I don't even have any interest in clicking. This time I accidentally clicked on this film with ppstream. I decided to block it and leave immediately if I found out the essence of its ad hoc film within five minutes. But fortunately, this is a film that can grab your attention in a minute~ It's a surprise.
What to watch: A feast of gamified movies and visual arts.
Think with your eyes. If you are a visual department, just watch this movie.
The self-proclaimed self-proclaimed art critic has always been irresistible to gorgeous tricks. When the opening shot of this film pulled over the mountain bridge to give a distant view of Osaka Castle, I knew it when I saw the scene like the CG opening of the game. I have found what I want. The entire film is based on the background of the era of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the battle of Osaka in the history of the Warring States Period in Japan, but the scene design and artistic modeling can be said to be a comprehensive picture of the personal style of the director Kirigu, who is determined to cross from the game industry to the film art. The film is full of gorgeous CG modeling and fantasy-style decoration details. It feels that the artists who made the cg environment are all talents dug from game companies such as SQUAREENIX. If Final Fantasy 14 is directly changed to the Japanese Shogunate period In the background, the material of the film can be directly used for cutscenes. If you know the quality of the CG of the Final Fantasy series, you will know how powerfully I give this film a positive comment on its ability to create a large environment. In the rendering of the environment, this film mixes traditional Japanese architecture, Western decoration, Romanesque splendor, Gothic repetition, Baroque luxury, fantasy wildness and fine brushwork. It can be said that it is a modern Japanese CG. A concentrated expression of visual art of gamification and gamification. In the film, there are both shocking and brilliant big scenes and nuanced small scenes. There are powerful shots of Osaka Castle mowing from the outside to the inside (Wu Shuang Fan will be moved by watching this film), and there are also detailed descriptions in the interior of Huajie Liuxiang. The reason why the film's artistic vision is so praised is because the film does not actually have any location shooting. The crew rented a gymnasium with green walls on all sides, and then completed it with CG production in the later stage. From this, the viewers will know the CG of this film. What an outstanding team.
When it comes to art design, we have to mention the costume design of this film. The authority of the costume design of this film is definitely held by geeks and geniuses at the same time. If you have watched Japanese period dramas in the past and reproduced the Japanese characteristic "Mediterranean" hairstyles in the market, you should be ready to accept another surprise this time. The hairstyles in this film can keep up with the Tokyo fashion this winter. Nobunaga, who is dressed in Western armor, is the "monkey" (Toyotomi Hideyoshi) wrapped in a large golden pineapple, the black and cool Ishida Sancheng, and the Tokugawa old turtle (Ieyasu) in white clothes and filial piety, hot and gorgeous. The courtesan dress, the princess dress of the European classical court, the faithful reproduction of the Japanese civilian dress, the dress of the hostess who traveled through time and space, the Roman godfather robe, the European armor of the Hundred Years War and the Japanese Sengoku warrior mask with a sense of industrial sculpture, it can be said that this is It is definitely a stage for costume designers. You can think of the whole film as a fashion show that is staged in turn~ and the mix of this style is surprising without any sense of incongruity in the original fantasy environment of this film. Appropriate, let the audience follow the use of the camera as if they were in the gorgeous castle tower of Osaka Castle, and then linger in the garden church in Europe, but these scenes that could not appear at the same time seem to have each other's double image and afterimage. , like walking through an adult fairy tale that is both true and illusory, and the ability to do this lies in the production team's understanding and re-structure of all the characters and historical backgrounds of the characters involved in this history, so that the entire design is Exaggerated and alternative but can well reflect the characteristics of the characters. For example, there are only two sets of Oda Nobunaga's costumes in this film, both of which are Western armors. The first set is the bright red battle armor worn when shooting the bandits to rescue the protagonist, and the other set is like a formal dress when singing the famous "Tunsheng" dance song. snow-white armor. Different styles but just right reflect the popular view of Nobunaga in history, the love for Western culture and technology and the ruthless ruthlessness of the enemy. Wearing Western knight armor is no more appropriate than Nobunaga, and Hideyoshi is bloated and complicated. The costumes just reflect the subtle psychology that he was born and won the world from a commoner, and wants to fill his thin and thin body and humble past with as much wealth and material as possible. The large imperial robe that looks like a costume is still wrapped in a despicable and small hungry heart~ It seems that the play of this film does not play "The Legend of Taiko"~ Ieyasu's simple costume and the white military uniform at the end , reflecting his meticulous and forbearing personality and the justice of fighting for righteousness in history, the only one who wears Japanese court clothes that have been handed down from the Heian period, his identity is a well-known tea and cultural master. The costumes of the last female lead~ let us congratulate them for putting~ her
There is no perfection in the world, the visual art of this film is indeed a major attraction, but there are still obvious distortions, the most obvious is the obvious "fake movement" of the characters and background in the moving scene~ It is the previous filming The scenery outside the window of the CRRC does not move~ and the "splicing" feeling of the distant and close-up scenes~ These two places can clearly see the effect of the studio~ But when you are fascinated by the complicated details and magnificent atmosphere of the film, you will I'll forgive the bleak blemishes of this. But I don't know if this is a technical problem or a magical effect that the director intends to achieve. After all, the American CG + live-action "Colonel Sky" has already been in front, and it seems that there should be no technical problems when watching other parts of the film. Short board, but is the old black and white style of "Colonel Sky" also covering up some hidden wounds of this type of technology? This is left for you to explore.
Plot: Conspiracy history and old tunes.
I wrote more than 2,000 words and there are not too many spoilers. I don’t even have to admire it. In fact, the plot of this film has a little understanding of the history of the Warring States Period in Japan. This kind of deconstruction and " Jokingly" will laugh. If you are interested, you can go to Baidu, Wikipedia to check Goemon, and the change of Honnoji Temple. I won't bother anymore. It's not the first time that the monkey and the bald teamed up with the black boss. It's another version of the conspiracy theory as to whether the old turtle Ieyasu participated in it, but obviously the film's The play portrays him as a not-so-bad party of power. The fun of watching this kind of film is that you know the development of history, and you will wonder how the director will drag the history that has been twisted and twisted by him back on track. The spiritual world of the protagonists of such Japanese films has always been a mystery, which has something to do with their clan, and the actions of the protagonists in this film are also related to the background of the times, but they still feel naive. , must regret being bitten by a snake. The combination of a few chewed words is a new story: righteousness, revenge, peace, freedom, power~ But I always feel that the foolish innocence in the front and the more stupid persistence in the back really can't be said to be an attractive one. Think deeply about the appropriate narrative structure for the ideas it wants to express. A limerick can be used to know:
historical conspiracy is the hot spot, loyal and traitor is the focus,
bad deeds must be repaid in the end, supporting actors die tragically,
the following crimes are the kingly way, and the boss of the world must die
Idealism kills people, beauty is finally embraced by the protagonist,
hero hangs like an ant's hand, and in the end it's a sad movie.
But as far as itself is concerned, the story is qualified, there are tensions and relaxations, not cold, there are moments of heartbeat, and there are moments when the protagonist can show off. The climax and foreshadowing are in place, although the old-fashioned things are not all in the world. Spiral development~ Haha~ You can just enjoy such a magical story.
Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about the technological development of the film industry and the prospect of future fantasy-style films, as well as the thinking of film gamification and game filmization, but it is estimated that some hard data need to be reviewed. , If you want to talk about it, it is probably a small essay~ So I will stop writing for the time being and continue next time. Click here again, the so-called game of the movie, you will understand when you see a few battle scenes in it, that is, the "Warring States Warriors" together as a lawn mower, and the ability of the bishop makes you doubt this Warring States thief It's the s1 warrior of the Final Fantasy Shinra company~ Its jumping ability is comparable to the supermen in "The Second Coming Son"~
It's a pity to recommend such a good visual film and not watch the high-definition version, especially after the film starts more than seven minutes. That part of the flowery street dance~ Hmmmm~ I went to clean the hard disk again~ I fell asleep~ The two words are 3000 to fill up~
