Several slots for the Great Wall

First of all, I am not targeting Zhang Yimou himself, but only commenting on the Great Wall Movie.

After watching this film, I don't think Zhang Yimou made it at all. Zhang Yimou's previous films did not do this. I have seen his early red sorghum, and the depiction of emotions and details is quite accurate. In recent years, the thirteen hairpins of Jinling are also good. The troubled times have been ruined, and several women have treated the yearning for love, and their longing is also very tactful.
Going back to the Great Wall itself, there are several loopholes that cannot be ignored.

1. The Great Wall does not have a complete story structure, it is completely American-style individual heroism.

2. Heroism is heroism. Why do foreigners need to save China? I can't agree with this at all. You can think that I am an angry youth, but at least save the face of the Chinese people. A foreigner to the rescue? When I saw the middle, I really had the urge to leave, and I was inexplicably irritable.

3. This must be why Zhang Hanyu died, because after watching his assembly number and the Mekong River action, the worshipers don’t want it, and the death is out of place. It feels like it’s just paving the way for Jing Tian. It's really disgusting that Chinese stars are just trying to step foot on two foreigners.

4. When Zhang Hanyu died, I was stunned that he actually passed on the position of the palace commander to Jing Tian. I go, a big slot. I'm not macho, but please use your brains, a little logic okay? In ancient China there were women's army? Well, even if it's good, is it necessary to be the head coach? The whole army is under her control. How could it be possible? Jing Tian's background is really unimaginable. Of course, it may be that she has deliberately paved the way because she wants to have feelings with foreign friends, but I really can't accept it.

5. The most unacceptable thing for me is that the gluttonous ran to the capital and arrived at the palace very abruptly. Could it be a bit bloody? Personally, I think this is a relatively unsuccessful way to deal with it. It can be added a little bit. The scene of being vulnerable and being eaten can also add a little bloody scent. After the capital is broken, the common people are brutally killed, and a little bit of family affection between the common people is appropriately added. Isn't it good to have some resonance? Well, even if they entered the palace directly, the emperor and a group of ministers hid in the main hall intact. This is strange, how is it possible? Such a high wall can break through. Even the ministers can't eat, I'll go, all the mothers are old, weak, sick and disabled.

6. In the end, it is a bit unreasonable for foreigners to kill the gluttonous boss. A few explosives will blow up and there will be no time to breathe. Then all the gluttons are forbidden to move. The screenwriter's brain hole is also very big, your mother Can you move when you are dead?

In the end, the special effects of the Great Wall are of course good. The plot and logic of the story are really uncomplimentable. I can't believe this is a film made by Zhang Yimou. Of course, some people can say that you are good at it, you go to the film, but I think if you really want to make a movie, can you use a little snack? Shouldn't it be worth spending money on movies and making reviews?
I hope that Chinese films will become better and better, and my complaints will be less.
