When I was young, I liked to watch Jackie Chan's movies. "Drunken Fist", "Police Story", "Flying Eagle Project", and "Rush Hour" all make people feel funny and relaxed. The names of Jackie Chan and Ma Ruolong are also fresh in my memory.
Last time our class was out, we lived in a cabin by the sea in Shenzhen. Every two people lived in a cabin. There was a TV in the cabin. I still remember that there was a cabin with a lot of people sitting in it, and they were watching the TV quietly. (You know, it’s so difficult to get the children of the main broadcaster to concentrate quietly.) At that time, it was Jackie Chan’s movie "Double Dragon Club" broadcast by a certain station on TV, which allowed a group of people to sit together and put down their hands. I think this is the charm of movies and also the charm of Jackie Chan’s movies.
I don't like deep films. Many films now have a deep emotional tone, which makes people feel uncomfortable. It seems that such films are good films to win big prizes. Now the so-called comedy films are mostly commercial films, and most of them use meat as a gimmick. Life, especially the life of the Chinese people from modern times to the present, is a history of suffering. If you say that movies are art that "derives from life and is higher than life", then those deep movies are too much higher than life. In this contrast, Jackie Chan's films are more down-to-earth, and he pursues both elegance and popular appreciation. This may have something to do with Jackie Chan's low cultural level. Regarding this question, I still admire the principles that Bai Juyi followed in writing poems: "women and children can understand", "the realm that the boy can sing the pipa in the Song of Jieyin Changhen, Muer. I think the same should be the case for works of art.
As one of Jackie Chan’s classic works, "Who Am I", a work by Jiahe Company, was released in 1998. Although some people did not think highly of this film, they thought that the high-rise building in the film was fighting against the glass curtain wall. Falling, falling from a helicopter and falling into a primeval forest, etc., were all thrilling and extremely exciting. Although the script is clear, the rhythm is too rapid and the deafening soundtrack makes the audience too tired. Maybe that era was still a relatively slow-paced era. The audience could not adapt to so many changes. For me, I don’t think the pace will be too fast. I still like this film. Life is always fickle. This rhythm does not make people feel "out of breath" at all. This film is suitable for all ages and is warm and inspiring. Compared with today's "selling meat" film, this film really made the Broadcasting and Television Bureau worry about it. Although there is a section of Jackie Chan playing with a lion cub in the prairie and being chased by a lioness:
( In fact, I don’t understand why this paragraph was cut. I don’t think the content is anything but "river crab"). The film quality cannot be compared with today's film, but I still like the plot. There are
many shooting locations, and the wide-span
shooting locations include tropical rain forests-African savannah-Rotterdam in the Netherlands and other very characteristic places. It has the feeling of "Global Geography", rain forests, cities, grasslands, natural landscapes and modern cities. The staggered combination is indeed visually enjoyable. Especially in the clog fight in the Dutch street, where any picture in the Netherlands can become a beautiful photo of photography, the slightly joyful Jackie Chan-style fight was staged here quite wonderfully. This film is also the first Chinese-language film to use a documentary to record various things in the shooting process. Today we see some blockbuster films and will shoot an additional documentary, so that the audience can enjoy the filming tidbits, the difficulties and interesting things encountered during the filming, etc. In fact, As early as the 90s, Jackie Chan's trans-hemisphere film adopted this approach.
The most impressive shot is the aerial shot in the desert. In the film, because Jackie Chan's "Who Am I" can't understand the electronic map for the game, he took the initiative to change positions with the driver's sister. Jackie Chan, dressed as an indigenous at the time, drove a Mitsubishi cross-country and galloped on the African savannah. An indigenous person with an off-road vehicle was indeed surprising. This situation also made people laugh very happily. When other racers saw it on the road, they were all surprised, and even other racers slipped and overturned their wheels. The natural expression of the funny elements of Jackie Chan's movie. Here is a big aerial shot of the convoy in the desert, the car passing by the rolled dust, the car galloping, shallows, sand, gravel, grassland, everything is fascinating, as if the heart also followed Jackie Chan to Africa . It is also a kind of enjoyment to use a set of professional cinema equipment to appreciate this piece. From the visual, from the sound effects, can bring a unique charm. Because the music and singing are happening right now. "Who Am I" sung by Zhou Huajian, the aboriginal language used at the beginning of the song, and the interpretation of the music also appear to be in harmony with the vast grassland, rough and powerful. People's mood will also be refreshed.
The Dutch street scene at the back is in sharp contrast with the desert and grassland before, which is very refreshing. Why did you choose the Netherlands? "Jackie Chan has filmed in many parts of the world, and he has traveled throughout Yugoslavia, Ukraine, and even the Sahara Desert. This time he chose Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The reason is simple. He was invited to participate in the Rotterdam International Film Festival held on January 30, 1997. On the day of the festival, he fell in love with Rotterdam’s modern architectural style and typical European culture at first sight. It’s mid-August (they had been shooting for 3 months in South Africa before), Jackie Chan and some members of the married class, as well as the entire actor I returned to Rotterdam with the film crew to shoot the next episode of "Who Am I?". "
Humanities
should tell people the truth. I only understood it more deeply when I watched it again recently. When I was a child, I just watched it purely. I just think it looks good, and I didn't think too much. This is also typical of not "watching under the guidance of parents".
With the breathtaking scenery of the African savanna, Jackie Chan spent a period of indigenous life here after losing his memory, and finally realized the true meaning of harmony between man and nature. Jackie Chan's movies always try to tell people a simple and easy-to-understand truth, and what Jackie Chan talks about are very positive things. In the face of nature, humans appear so small. From a large number of aerial photography and panoramic shots, we can see boundless grasslands, Gobi, and various characteristic animals living in harmony with the indigenous people in the film. Aboriginals and nature represent simplicity. After saving Jackie Chan who fell into the rainforest, the local aboriginals accepted him naturally, taught him aboriginal languages, and helped him draw totems representing their ethnic group. All of this is so natural that it even makes people There is no doubt that their pure heart is something else. This is in sharp contrast to the CIA officials and profit-seeking businessmen who represent the "civilized world". With the help of the indigenous people, Jackie Chan saw the team coming to hold a rally in the African savannah and happily shouted: "I can finally leave here!" But after leaving the indigenous village and returning to the "civilized world", he first encountered It is the suspicion and resistance of the off-road racer Yuki played by the Japanese movie star Yamamoto Miku. Jackie Chan, dressed in indigenous clothes, wanted to save the elder brother of the cross-country rider Yuki who had collapsed, but was mistaken by Yuki for hurting her brother.
In the following journey to find his identity, Jackie Chan was used and deceived by a few people and also reflected the hypocrisy and reality of the "civilized world". This reminds me of Hugo's evaluation of this after the British and French coalition fired the Old Summer Palace: We Europeans are civilized people, and Chinese are savages in our eyes. This is what civilization does to barbarism. Today we think that we have entered a period of highly developed civilization, but the facts do not seem to be the case. Is the so-called civilization deceiving, calculating each other, and wearing a mask of hypocrisy to do things that hurt the truth? The line that impressed me in the film: "Don't trust anyone." This is the last sentence of the villain Morgan after he was defeated by Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan pretended to believe his words and removed the disc containing the meteorite secrets and the bullets. Mr. Morgan’s pistol was handed over to Mr. Morgan. Sure enough, Mr. Morgan pointed the pistol at him after Jackie Chan turned around. You taught me." Seeing this, it seems that Jackie Chan has mastered the laws of survival in the "civilized world".
Today, similar things are happening every day, and even intensified. Local wars, terrorism, global warming, environmental issues...The civilized society built by mankind for thousands of years can be fragile like a child in front of nature.
At the end of the film, the female agent kicks the villain Colonel Morgan.
Jackie Chan praised: "Good job, I still remember when I was a kid, my father said that we should do the right thing and prevent others from doing the wrong thing."
"Oh, by the way, is the CD with you?" Said the female agent.
Jackie Chan instantly threw the CD into the river.
"My dad also said, don't destroy the laws of nature." Finally, Jackie Chan said the central idea of the whole film.
