Just wanted to record some thoughts on this film between myself and my friends. So there are mine and other people's, mixed together, just to make it clear.
Below I will briefly explain my point of view.
First of all, regarding positioning, I will state my position.
The positioning of Chibi in my mind is a commercial film. pure. Therefore, there is no need to talk to me about history, culture, mission...it's really unnecessary. Is it a bad thing to win at the box office? No one wants Chinese films to have to go to places like Cannes first to get a title before they can return to the domestic market. If there is a heritage culture, there should also be some commercial films that allow more people to enter the theater. Just look at how popular the theater is. Each film has its own positioning, and I think the director should know what he wants to do. Let us give the Chinese film industry a little more confidence and support. Although I also feel that Chibi is very commercial, there is no aftertaste after reading it. And I feel very distressed about 90 yuan a ticket.
The second is praise. As a commercial giant, Chibi is very successful, the box office is very popular, and it has successfully attracted many potential moviegoers to donate precious RMB to Chinese movies. Really, when a girl next to me saw Zhang Zhen, she asked, who is he? When will Tony Leung come out? I couldn't help but twitch the corners of my mouth. In the era of rising prices, it is not so easy to ask everyone to pay.
Then it's a little embarrassing.
Mengmeng... 囧... I can accept all the funny places, it's good and fun. But the moment this cuteness was spoken out by sister Z0, I was really embarrassed. Lies are puppies.
There are some white pigeons in a certain shot of the boat gang or somewhere. The one with the head is like an eagle spreading its wings. shock! !
And then a little tired.
A slow-motion performance of a water war scene. I have caught the rhythm, secretly counting, 3, 2, 1, slow motion! really.
The silhouette at 75 degrees or other angles under the sunset of a water is still called a shadow or something. I used it many times in the first battle scene, and I thought to myself, okay, stop. The result did not stop.
When watching those battle scenes, I unconsciously thought of Braveheart. When I watched the film in 1995, I was still laughing and said that it was so simple that it would only use slow motion to express the psychology of the characters. When watching Chibi, I found that the battle scene was not as good as Braveheart. Cut to and fro are a few close-ups of the ferocious faces of the protagonists. If I replaced that face with Andy Lau, I would definitely think that I was looking at the voting certificate.
During the high-density switching in the piano-playing section, I immediately stopped and didn't understand anything. Didn't understand either. If you haven't figured out who played which part, don't fiddle with the deep affection contained in the sound of the piano.
Then again, a little doubt.
I couldn't help but put my head down when the plasma burst. And I also covered my eyes when I was poking around with the spear and accompanied by the puff sound effect.
It's too late to watch the show, and there are still several children. Personally I think it's not good, it's too bloody. The SARFT is quite generous this time.
Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu are both married and wrapped in gauze, and they are acting like cheating. What a plane. Not to be a little ambiguous and uncomfortable, right?
That's all I can think of for now.
Please give me a feather fan, I need to calm down.

The following is the speech of DBJ students. I totally agree with his last sentence.
I think John Woo is the director who understands the Hollywood rules the most among the directors who take turns making blockbusters in China...
That naturally means that the film is well done...
But this kind of good is only relative to those in mainland China. A director who has experienced blockbuster costumes...
Since the 1980s, Hong Kong films have fallen into the "rough" rapid production period due to commercial needs...
John Woo is also inevitable because of the film's ease of acceptance. Partial...
This kind of fault may have been brought to the present...
So I said that I think his film is very general, even a little rough...
So I think John Woo's film is nothing to write about...
In fact, I read everyone's posts... The most debated is the plot... The
most criticism is how John Woo photographed the Chibi in "my" mind...
In fact, the description of the Battle of Chibi in
You allow Luo Guanzhong to make up a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but you don't allow John Woo to make up another "Red Cliff"?
So it is very important to watch this film. :
You can't read it with a preconceived idea...

The following is the speech of Tudou.
DBJ is right, don't expect anything.
Take me, a person who has been devastated by the previous Chinese giants to the point of not asking, not expecting, and being very popular. The easiest way is to judge whether a commercial film that goes into the cinema is good or not: just take these few recent releases. Department, in Jinyi, the ticket price is 30 yuan: "Kung Fu Panda", "Superman for All", "Red Cliff". After watching Kung Fu Panda, I thought to myself, um, not bad. No wasted money. After watching National Superman, I was very angry, Grandpa's, not only wasted my money, but also wasted my time! After watching Chibi, I am very happy - 30 yuan, so worth it.
This is the first time that John Woo's film has met mainland audiences on the big screen in the cinema. The blood in his movies is bound to come out, the buddies in his movies are bound to go hand in hand, and the pigeons in his movies are bound to be very white. A friend of mine also wrote an article about Chibi, and said that he saw common elements of Hao Laiu type films in it. When to take a few minutes of sex, when to take a few minutes of violence, when to take a few minutes of slow motion, and when to take a few minutes of lyrical pictures, the watch is all accurate. I agree with what he said and what you said. Where you feel embarrassed, so do I. ^_^ But I skip all of these. This movie, like "King of Kung Fu", faces domestic and foreign markets at the same time, and there are many things in it for foreigners to watch. John Woo has been in Hollywood for many years, and knows what those people who walk into the movie theater with popcorn cones are thinking about. I didn't want to compare it with other movies, just compared to those Chinese blockbusters before this one - let's just take a look at it - the hero's night banquet Wuji Ambush Golden Armor Attacks the Dragon Unarmor, I am in this movie There is a clear improvement in the movie.
Watching movies, it seems that TIMING is also very important. I went to see it at noon the next day. Before watching it, I didn't read any movie reviews, I didn't notice the overwhelming hype, I didn't watch the tidbits, and I didn't have any friends recommend it. I went to the cinema purely with the idea of supporting Chinese films and supporting John Woo. I've seen the trailer before, and it's pretty average. At that time, I thought to myself, if I take 10,000 steps back, even if it is worse than the national superman, I will think it is old. I miss the bloody twins, miss the pony brother, miss the face change. Just like back then, with a thankful heart, I went to the movie theater to watch his "Kung Fu" which I didn't really like. This one, like "Chibi", didn't bring back my aftertaste, but the Hong Kong Film Awards gave it the Best Picture Award. I thought to myself that this award is not for kung fu, but for Stephen Chow.
My other thoughts that have nothing to do with this movie have also been said a lot in the reply to the post of Brother Aimen Wolf. In fact, the movie itself really has nothing to say.
