Reason and Feelings (the passing Jackie Chan)

Willow 2022-04-22 07:01:47

I just watched this film in the afternoon, and I was in a mixed mood after finishing it. Before I went, I didn't read the comments for fear of spoilers. When I came back and read the comments, I found that there are many sailors, and the mood is even lower. Why, why do you have to do such a trick?
From a sane point of view, this film has too many flaws. . . Well, let's talk about 3D first, it's really fake to the extreme. The best effect of the whole film is probably the title "Zodiac". I didn't see it at all in other places (or because I was short-sighted and didn't wear myopic glasses). From the film itself, 3D is completely unnecessary, 2D is enough, and it saves others from complaining here.
Secondly, the flaws in the plot are also unbearable. At the beginning, Jackie Chan's extreme roller skating performance was quite dazzling, but it was also very abrupt. Zhang Lanxin stole the key to facilitate Jackie Chan's escape, so what about Jackie Chan? Why is there such a show? fun? To show off the 3D effect? Or is it to show that Jackie Chan's sword is not old? Please give a reason first. In the end, the outburst of patriotism was really too sudden, at least prepare for it. Inexplicably, there is a trapeze, jumping into a volcano for the copper head, which is not the character that a character should have. When the three villains jumped down, shit, isn't this a Red Bull ad? Inexplicably hit the slot. When you get the bronze head, you should put it away quickly, and it is still held on top of your head, pulling one by one, you have to put a "let the dragon fly", right! Why bother? As an actor, it is enough to make a good movie, and patriotism does not need to be so explosive.
Then talk about the role, it's completely Jackie Chan's one-man show. Except for Jackie Chan, the only one I can remember is the cheap Li Zongsheng. There is really nothing else. Quan Xiangyu is a handsome guy. He has never seen his face a few times. Completely turned into a trick. Let's talk about a movie about the Chinese people saving their own national treasures. What is a stick mixed in? Liao Fan is even more tragic. I always thought this buddy was a bachelor, but at the end, a beautiful wife like Shu Qi came out and gave birth to a child whose name was Shihe. Are you sure Jackie Chan is not a Lakers fan? Are you sure he's not ranting about "Meta Woldpeace"? Break down. There are also two heroines, Zhang Lanxin and Yao Xingtong, who are even more speechless. Zhang Lanxin had a fight anyway, with long legs and a one-word horse, which made people a little impressed. Yao Xingtong will not talk about it, how can such a role make Jackie Chan's patriotism explode. Is Jackie Chan just to collect more fungus? Chen Bolin and his ilk are even more complete tricks, just to highlight Jackie Chan's status in the Chinese film industry, right? In contrast, it is not as wonderful as Wu Yanzu and Shu Qi, who are at the end of the easter egg. The appearance of Mrs. Long was even more surprising. So I thought that Jackie Chan also needs a sheltered harbor, where he can rest and dock when he is tired or injured, and Long Wife is this harbor. Therefore, although there are various kinds of fungus, it is difficult to shake the status of Longsao. Not to mention the trump card of the tiny house.
There is also the Canon camera that Jackie Chan has been holding in his hand. I didn't know the brand of Wang Baoqiang's camera until the end of "Thai Embarrassment". Brother, this is not a Canon commercial.
Of course, there are many other pitfalls, so I won't repeat them one by one.
This is what my sanity tells me. But many things cannot be explained rationally. is an emotion. "Zodiac" is known as Jackie Chan's 101st movie, but I don't know if there are so many. But I think every Chinese will have seen a few Jackie Chan movies. When you think of Jackie Chan, it's probably a kung fu comedy, which has long since become Jackie Chan's label. In recent years, "Baby Project", "Little Soldier", etc., are mostly in the nature of playing tickets. Although there will be some juggling fights, but I always feel that it is not enough. Is Jackie Chan getting old and unable to fight? In this film, Jackie Chan completely returns to the traditional style, with fighting scenes that sacrifice his life and humorous action design. Jumping up and down, sliding stairs, etc. juggling, you can clearly see Jackie Chan's old state. At the end of the movie, in the usual NG shots, Jackie Chan's own battle scene, the sentence "You never know if this will be your last shot" is touching, to a brother who is almost sixty years old, you What more can you ask for?
Bruce Lee died at an early age, and Jet Li had already fled from the heavenly dynasty, leaving only Jackie Chan to stand up and serve as the business card of Chinese Kung Fu. (I definitely don't mean to belittle Donnie Yen, there is indeed a big gap between him and the first three.) After Bruce Lee, there are Jackie Chan and Jet Li. After that, will Hong Kong-made kung fu films have no successor? Why is this so? A sentence in the film gives the reason - "technology is". Technology has changed everything. Now that the special effects technology is so advanced, and there are dangerous actions, the computer can handle it, so why should the actors risk their own lives? However, the special effects may be very exciting to watch, but there will never be such a bloody moving, which represents a person's sincerity. That's why there is only one Jackie Chan.
It is said that this is Jackie Chan's last kung fu movie, but I don't know if it's true. Don't worry, if you see it, just watch it quickly, don't wait until it becomes an absolute sound before regretting it.
