"The Lion of Heaven": Chinese-style international film

As an international theme with mixed ethnicity and diversification, the atmosphere created by the film and the story it portrayed can still be said technically, but from the perspective of the story, the plot it creates. And the meaning contained in it, it shows a kind of powerlessness that is too petty. If domestic filmmakers want to shoot foreign language films that circulate internationally, in the final analysis, they cannot abandon the domestic ideological limitations that are rooted in the bottom. They always want to reflect the pedantic Chinese language and Confucian cultural thoughts, but it is difficult to understand the human nature that circulates internationally. Efforts have been made on the level so that the film can only be circulated domestically, and cannot be truly integrated into the ranks of international recognition. It is often not worth the loss just relying on Jackie Chan's international popularity and influence to shape the concept of an international blockbuster. The movie scene can be said to be extremely spectacular, but it does not create a grand and epic sense. There are many characters, but it is difficult to have a stunning role with a distinctive personality. Even if two Hollywood movie stars are invited to help out, there are few The part that can reflect the performances of the two movie stars, even Jackie Chan, as the absolute protagonist in the movie, can be regarded as the most exaggerated performance in the movies he has ever acted in. The film seems to be just for storytelling, completely stripping the actors from the role of rendering and embellishing the story in the film. The actors' overly masked performances sharply highlighted the director's shortcomings in grasping the relationship between the plot and the characters. Creating a magnificent and magnificent story sets up an irreversible barrier, and good movies are also blinded, which is not too much for the evaluation of this movie!

Big Brother Jackie Chan appeared in the movie as a good old man, and the heroic spirit he wanted to highlight disappeared a lot in an instant. Even if the plot of the movie blindly made way for Jackie Chan to create a big brother style, what always radiated from Jackie Chan was a kind of charisma. The temperament of a small person, even Feng Shaofeng, who is also preaching in the movie, obviously overwhelms the big brother Jackie Chan in terms of personality and momentum, especially his almost broken nagging, like a flying fly. . We have no objection to Jackie Chan's continuous performance as a good man, and we also support the use of his method to promote world peace, but using the image of a good old man to portray a hero is inevitably a little out of touch. We can imagine the heroic spirit of swallowing mountains and rivers, but also It can be imagined that the hero who smashed the halberd and killed the enemy proudly in the battlefield is heroic, but the image of a good person who is gentle and forbearing makes a group of peaceful people, but it has never been able to connect people with the connection between him and the hero. The fact that the film blindly makes way for Jackie Chan is reminiscent of the flattery and flattery of Jackie Chan outside the film, which reduces the artistic achievement of the film itself. The arrangement of the plot of the movie can be described as a filling response. There is no clear enough main line to guide the development of the plot. Instead, it has become a random arrangement with no preface and no afterword. The setting of each follow-up plot is more like moving soldiers to the rescue. The general haste and haste, so that each plot is full of loopholes in the interconnection, and cannot stand scrutiny. The weak logical relationship makes the film completely useless in terms of creation and design, and the focus of the film is completely on the big scene of fighting and killing people, which inevitably falls into a Chinese-style blockbuster with scenes and no plot. It also reflects the Chinese characteristic taste of domestic filmmakers to domestic audiences, who are stupid, rich, fun, and low-end. The film continues the plot structure of Jackie Chan's film "Myth", which is obviously a tribute to this film. The film also produced a sense of sight of a Hollywood blockbuster, allowing us to thoroughly feel the form of Chinese blockbusters. The trend of getting closer to Hollywood, and the diversified quality has deepened the spirit of continuous exploration of films going abroad. I believe that in the near future, Chinese films will be recognized by people all over the world and become mainstream.

The biggest regret of the movie is that it has an unprecedentedly powerful lineup of luxurious stars, but it completely blinds the director. It has Hollywood movie star characters but fails to play their movie star level. Not only did they fail to maintain their own Western originality characteristics, but assimilated into the local characteristics of our Orientals, the existence of John Cusack and Adrian Brody was completely replaced by two unknown foreign actors, and it did not affect the film at all The effect of the plot arrangement. The two Hollywood actors are completely designed as two vases in the movie. The dialogue and time they appear in the movie are pitiful. The bloated plot in the movie can even be shortened to 90 minutes. The war scenes hold up the entire movie. Jackie Chan's performance is even more old-fashioned. He has been in movies for decades and has never been able to get an acceptable recognition for his performance in literary dramas. The older Jackie Chan's performances are getting better and better. She has become a mother-in-law more and more, and always gives people a feeling of preaching to the elderly.

The movie is still very exciting on the whole. It makes Chinese blockbusters really feel like a blockbuster. It no longer highlights the so-called epic temperament only through the big scenes of human sea tactics, but through the grasp of different races. Out of the understanding of the entire film situation. The director has combined the characteristics of various ethnic groups very well to stage a wonderful drama with different ethnic groups but one heart, and also offered his best wishes for calling for world peace. This kind of Chinese style is still biased towards Sinicization. The blockbuster allows us to see the light of going international, and it also brings a lot of hope for our Chinese films to win the world!
