Before the hero, Zhang Yimou's movies can still be watched. Zhang Yimou always repackages his deepest life experiences with colors. The authenticity of the emotions in the movie still leaves an indelible mark on the movie, and the protagonists of them are also remembered one by one, forming the so-called seeking girls. After the hero, the protagonist has no meaning. It doesn't even make sense to say actors. The subject matter is meaningless. Zhang Yimou's films are just piling up popularity.
You don't need to guess the plot of Laomouzi's movie comeback. Because there is no suspense at all. Of course, apart from heroes, there are few unreasonable ones. Moderate. And the boldness in color is a world of difference. The topic is even more sophisticated. There can never be any controversy or even anything to discuss.
When the trailer for Jinling's Thirteen Shorts came out, I knew that Lao Mouzi had another full score. Use the Nanjing Massacre as a topic to create pornography and violence that can appeal to all classes of people. And avoided the censorship of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the paleness of the plot. In Nanjing dialect, English and international male protagonists are intertwined with thirteen hairpins of various colors and shapes but highly similar. You never know what to enjoy and what to expect from this film. Or ask something. Just like Laomouzi's previous films. If only so. I also don't think the film is such a failure.
The entire film has the historical background removed. Set aside the various carefully stacked elements. To put it bluntly, it is talking about the exchange of endings between two groups of refugees. Sacrifice yourself for others. Just such a story. Zhang Yimou spoke for more than two hours. First of all, put the Nanjing Massacre on it, and use the real historical background to make the whole story appear more real. With this trick, in addition to being real, it also helps the audience to reason about it by the way, and uses the cruel reasoning of the Nanjing Massacre. to their greater image, highlighting the meaning of sacrifice. The only thing the priest has in it is something to think about. God tells us that all beings are equal, and who should die, the prostitute or the girl. Zhang Yimou, who came from the grassroots class, is naturally not interested in paying attention to such a heavy philosophical issue. In Zhang Yimou's view, all beings are equal, and prostitutes should naturally do this. Zhang Yimou also expressed his views through Yumo's mouth. Those of us, what kind of men have never seen before. And those girls. . . . . Obviously, the logic of most audiences is so natural. Because the director of this film is not Chen Kaige, he will not make settings that make you think.
The empty-minded Zhang Yimou is not simple. While making money, the whole film is also instilling his own views. The love of the hawthorn tree made me see the perverted view of chastity of the so-called high society. And Zhang Yimou, who got the treasure and made him into a movie, naturally exposed his view of chastity. In the Thirteen Hairpins, Laomouzi's concept will naturally not change. So girls will choose to end their lives for the sake of chastity, and they will stand on the lighthouse needlessly, as if this proves the height of chastity. And the prostitute naturally should have completed the replacement smoothly. The change of the plot is very natural because of this perverted view of chastity, and the audience is completely unconscious, perhaps, because many audiences themselves have the universal value of this perverted chastity.
And hatred should naturally be instilled. The Nanjing Massacre is a historical fact, so hatred should be more important. Zhang Yimou naturally did not miss this opportunity. He put the cruel historical facts in front of us with violence and blood. It is not so much for us to appreciate . Rather, let us remember, remember hatred. I often hear people say boycotting Japanese products, or go to Japan to conquer a few women. Rape and violence are not sins at all, they should be honors, in the eyes of those perverted groups, because their object is Japan. They naturally don't care that the person they are going to rape or kill may have never been to China in their entire life. All they care about is name and ethnicity. So in the whole film, you can't see a good Japanese, or even a Westerner. For example, Bell doesn't have any human thinking and pain when he sees the corpses all over the floor. He only cares about wages. And a Japanese soldier was so bad that he received money from others, did nothing, and finally killed the victim. Naturally, any invitation to attend such a Japanese is bound to the worst. Laomouzi easily controls your thinking and makes you admit that his plot is not logical at all.
The minimum price limit of 35 yuan, except that I saw Zhang Yimou who was full of confidence and contentment. To be honest, I didn't see anything else. Don't even understand. Has Zhang Yimou, who is 61 years old, really lost his ability to think?
