1. It is very risky for the movie to tell the story of defending the city with less than more. There are too many precedents, and it is difficult for the story to be new. Science fiction has Team Galaxy, fantasy has Harry Potter 7 times, even in China, there are also heroes of heaven and earth, ink attack or something, the film of the theme of defending the city can write a movie history. There is nothing new in the story of this movie. It is still that people of different backgrounds came together for a few lofty ideals, defended a key fortress, defended against the attack of powerful evil enemies, threw their heads and sprinkled blood, and remained at a time when victory is impossible. Persevere, and finally won some sort of victory (although the historical fact is that the resistance was completely defeated)
2. What is new in the story, it is for the Chinese people. In the history textbooks of China, there are more than 1,000 medieval Europe. Years are a skip, let alone Britain. Suddenly there is a 13th-century British Civil War movie, ranging from political system, ideology, religion and social relations, to weapons, architecture, clothing and culture. They can all be talked about in China. It is still very impressive to come up with some small details after the big historical things.
3. There is something to say about the Magna Carta guarded by the protagonists in the movie. After all, this thing is the British Glorious Revolution, the French Revolution, the American War of Independence, the Declaration of Human Rights, the Chinese Revolution of 1911... Blabla is the source of the sacred, great and correct things, talking about democracy British people who are free have the right to speak. Who can let people do ideological output in those days? This thing will be seen when China commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Revolution of 1911
. After all, it is very different from China. Obviously, China is a centralized empire, and Britain is just a kingdom. The Holy See must be involved in signing agreements, changing kings, and inviting mercenaries. The last French prince became the British king. Just like playing house, European politics is really unsuitable for Chinese people, but we are now imitating the West to build a modern country, no wonder a lot of people are arguing whether many things are in line with China's national conditions.
5. The image of the Templars has changed a lot in Western historical films, sometimes as holy as an angel, sometimes as evil as a devil, and became a pioneer of freedom and democracy in this film. The protagonist once went to Jerusalem with the Crusades, fought against Islamic countries, experienced the impact of different cultures, and his thoughts became very complicated, so it is difficult to be understood in this film, it is the fullest image, his understanding of God It has been changing until it finally merged with the concept of freedom, religion + politics, and the plot of the film became more profound, and the speech given by the king of the villain, King John, was simply to the extreme. The director probably did not regard him as one at all. Living characters to shape.
6. The story line of the film is quite Hollywood stereotyped. The first villain and the first protagonist appeared in the first 5 minutes of the film, clarifying their identity and background positions, and then the protagonists of the defending army from the square appeared one by one like an RPG game. , There are leaders and followers, there are uncles and grandpas, there are fat and thin people, and of course beautiful female vases are indispensable. In the end, the war will become more and more cruel
. There are not many medieval history films I have watched, but the image of each England is not very good. "Brave Heart" bullies Scotland, "Joan of Arc" bullies the French, and this movie bullies his own people. The film was co-produced by the United Kingdom and the United States. I look like the Americans did it themselves. How much do you hate the British...
