Feelings and Chicken Soup in "The Return of Mount Tai"

With my little movie viewing experience and movie knowledge, I can't evaluate the difference between a movie and other movies of the same type and the shooting techniques it uses from an empirical and professional perspective. But as an art, film has the nature and function that art should have, and art makes people feel beautiful. American movies and movies are also a mixture of feelings and chicken soup. "The Return of Mount Tai" fully reflects this feature. Chicken soup and feelings are like the finely chopped green onion sprinkled in when eating beef noodles, scattered in the noodles and soup, you don't know where You can eat it in your mouth, but the fragrant green onion has been embedded in the whole process of eating noodles. Of course, for those who don’t like chopped green onion and those who don’t like beef noodles at all, all this experience is meaningless.
"The Return of Tarzan" is a "big brush", and I mean a big brush with soft elements. This film has many elements, love, family, friendship, man and nature, race, revenge, forgiveness and forgiveness, justice and harmony. Putting these elements in the whole background of the colonial period makes me feel It is the heart-breaking conflict between personal love and great love between people. The wife Tarzan regarded as his life was taken by Roma. Tarzan traveled through the jungle to save his wife, but when he discovered Roma's conspiracy to enslave the entire Congo Basin, he foresaw the disaster that his African friend was about to face. , Taishan is no longer fighting only for his wife, but for the entire Congo Basin, which is a manifestation of the transformation of private love into great love. The reason why Taishan returned to Africa was the agreement between the Mbonga chief and Roma, in order to avenge the murder of his son, but when the chief knew about Roma's conspiracy, he chose to put down his hatred and let Taishan save the entire Congo. Private love is like a transformation of great love. Tarzan was raised by an orangutan mother. Living in the jungle, he relied on his natural aura to conquer the animals in the jungle. This is also at the end of the film. Tarzan led all the animals to sweep the colony settlement and end Roma. The key to the conspiracy, I think this scene is quite shocking. It is the embodiment of the unity of nature and human beings to demonstrate justice. Although this is very utopian, it is impossible to have characters like Mount Tai in reality, and it is even more impossible to have such a perfect combination of humans and animals, so This is the display of feelings. During the colonial period, African blacks died of slavery, massacres, and countless trafficking. African blacks were the victims of the interests of the colonial period. This is the real history, but it is impossible for movies to appear in real life. The animal leader Tarzan completed a utopian victory for black people. This is the feeling, and it is also chicken soup. I am an anti-chicken soup person, but in the theater, I was shocked by the figurative movie pictures that I could see. I was actually poured into a pot of chicken soup by American movies, or maybe if I watched a 2D movie, I would start cursing.
Art should make people feel beautiful, and the premise of feeling beautiful is that people can understand it. "The Return of Mount Tai" achieves this. It tells the story logically. Explain the cause and effect of the incident very clearly, so that a story, especially a story with so many elements, can be clearly described, so that the audience will not feel out of breath. In this respect, the movie is still good.
There are feelings, chicken soup, a complete story chain, beautiful pictures, and a macho. As a financial fan, I feel that the movie ticket money is not wasted.
