The details of this film are brilliant, the overall feeling is confusing, there are many things to say, but they are not clear enough.
As the saying goes, those who chase two rabbits can't get one rabbit. When I watched this film, I once had the hallucination of "two dozen rabbits jumping in front of my eyes".
Advantages
1. [Sanwu Kung Fu School with a dark past] + [Schizophrenic reasoning doctor with a sad past] This character combination is very good! It should be very interesting, it should be...
2. Many settings are very good Interesting and extensible, such as Chen Baijiu's acupuncture lecture, good friend (wrong) partner spy Jiang Wu, 72 Disha terrorist organization and so on.
3. The tone of the whole mountain village is very small and fresh, and the music is comfortable, which gave me the illusion of watching a French literary film (in fact, I have never seen any French literary film).
4. The leader's roar is really strong and full of energy, it's great! I felt like I was going to be blown away.
Slots
1. The whole story is messy. Every aspect has to be said a little, but immediately put aside to do other things. The central content is a mess, and even if it does, it will fail in performance. To ask why the director did this, borrow a line from it: "Because he is greedy."
2. It was a bad choice for Donnie Yen to play Liu Jinxi. It's not for acting, but when the audience sees Brother Bullet, they will have the inertial thinking of "Donnie Yen = martial arts master", no matter how he pretends to be
a civilian, it is useless. So the suspense of "is it a coincidence or strength that Liu Jinxi killed the wanted criminal" was simply wasted, and Chen Baijiu's hard reasoning seemed ridiculous - everyone knows it, but you don't.
3. Many issues were not explained at the end, or even had time to unfold. For example:
[Chen Baijiu's belief in the law was broken by himself when he exchanged twenty taels of silver for the illegal arrest rights, so what was his attitude towards the law later? 】
[Chen Baijiu stabbed Jin Xi and was scolded and scolded by the villagers and could not rest in peace. In order to retrieve Tang Long, Di Sha killed several villagers. So how can Kim Hee's family continue to live in the village as peacefully as the end of the movie? ]
[Disha leader and godmother died in the same event within a few days, in the same village, by the same person, as a radical organization, why are the other sixty-nine people indifferent? 】
There are more small doubts, no more examples. Don't ask questions that you don't have time to answer in the first place!
4. Chen Baijiuyi's fame will not be unexpected: even if Tang Long's fake death deceived the people of the earth, as a sibling, he must take the body back and bury it. How did you find a chance to revive him then? Please think you are Romeo and Juliet (as a result, Romeo and Juliet even let Tang Long play the role)!
5. The fight with Thirteen Niang was an inexplicable waste of time. Of course, this was just the biggest of many inexplicable things.
6. The remote mountain people speak standard Mandarin, and only Chen Baijiu speaks Trump…………………………Who came up with this bad idea?
7. The parts of poking water buffalo, stringing grasshoppers and tyrannical grandpa poking Xiaotian with chopsticks are not necessary and make people feel very uncomfortable.
After
reading a lot of film reviews written by gunmen, I realized that the theme of this story seems to be "every beings are guilty, you and I are all complicit". Then please don't make the
miscellaneous topics such as "human relationship, legal reason, son's love, long-term husband running away from man and beast" so eye-catching - just like the game characters are designed more and more complex, but more and more people Difficult to remember features the same. The simple superposition of various details is useless!
If I tell this story, it will be based on the theme of "Detective Story in the Early Years of the Republic of China". The detective with superb medical skills discovered the reclusive martial arts master when investigating the murder case in the mountain village; then the dark organization behind it was involved. Reduce play and increase the mysterious atmosphere of investigation. Then Tang Long cut off the relationship with Di Sha, but his wife and children were taken away by them. So Tang and Chen formed partners, one who knew a lot and the other who fought fiercely. While investigating various bizarre cases in the mysterious backcountry, they tracked down the whereabouts of Tang Long's family, so that they could make seven films like Harry Potter. Not even a series is a problem.
Finally: To be honest, I didn't find anything to do with the word "Martial Arts" from the beginning to the end. The title of the film is weak.
