recently watched a lot of movies, some of them are the first time, some have been watched several times, sometimes I have a few words to say after watching, but I hold back every time, maybe it is natural Laziness, maybe a little bit of fear. Although I have read a lot of miscellaneous books, I rarely write any professional text. I always feel that it is too sacred. I am really not at this level, and I dare not dare to get involved in film reviews. Today this is not a film review, just a little bit of my own random feeling, and probably in the eyes of ordinary people, this movie is the most unartistic of all the movies I have watched recently, so it may be a little less panic.
I saw the movie "The King of Power" more than ten years ago. It was probably in the second and third grades of elementary school. In the mid-1990s, there were family members in the neighboring village. "The King", I still remember Tsui Hark's "Green Snake". Originally, there were many particularly bloody, disgusting and perverted scenes in "Li Wang", but it is strange to say that these things did not leave me any impression. The most clear thing I remember is that when Li Wang was practicing, his master threw a large stone over him. He stretched out his hands to put a stone on his arm, and he was buried alive for seven days and raised the falling roof with both hands and other scenes. And I didn’t feel any discomfort at the time, (but I suddenly thought of this movie on a whim when I saw some comments and screenshots on the Internet before I watched the original movie. I had a nightmare at night and dreamed of those bloody scenes. ) So much so that I always thought later that I didn't watch the full movie for the first time. Through today’s review, I think I’ve watched this film for the first time, unless I saw it at that time, because some scenes can be recalled continuously from beginning to end. But it’s really possible that what I saw at the time was censored, and it was severely deleted, because some very disgusting scenes are often close to the scenes that I have a deep impression on, but I have almost no impression of these. When I was young, I didn’t feel anything. Even if I only worshipped heroes at the time, I wouldn’t completely lose sight of those bloody, violent and perverted scenes. Well, don't care about this, no matter whether the first time I saw it is complete or not, let's talk about the feelings of this review.
The content of this movie is very simple. It mainly talks about a man named He Liwang (usually called Liwang, he has been very strong since he was young, and later learned hard qigong from a good ghost uncle, and he couldn't kill him, he was quite abnormal). His girlfriend killed a triad leader and was sentenced to jail. Characters), help ordinary friends in prison to fight against bad guys such as the warden and eventually kill them all, releasing the stories of all prisoners. This film is adapted from Japanese anime, and I always feel that the movie style is more like Japan, not like China at all. Perhaps in addition to the original work, this is also related to the director. It is said that the director of the film, Lan Naicai, had studied in Japan. I have seen a tertiary film "Liao Zhai Yan Tan" directed by him before. Some scenes in the back are also quite disgusting. (The version I watched also had special subtitles warning that some of the content of the film may cause discomfort, which is a bit disgusting to put it bluntly. Legend has it that "The King of Power" was also listed as a tertiary film, and it was the first film in Hong Kong because of violence. It is classified as a tertiary film with other content rather than sex)
Although the artistry of "The King of Power" is not necessarily high, its influence is still not small, and it is even regarded as a classic by many people, at least it is a classic Hong Kong cuit film. I I heard people say that I have watched this film no less than ten times, and I still haven't watched enough, and I will continue to watch it. I don’t know what they like the most about this film. If I were to insist that I think this film is more ideological than artistic, the scenes that are always pierced in the intestines, puffy heads, and even turned people into meat sauce are really not aesthetically pleasing. At any rate, it can really make people think. I think the subtitles before the official start of the film are very important. I quote here as follows:
In 2001, the capitalist countries privatized all government agencies.
The prison was also wrapped up like a parking lot to do business...
so the scene in the film appeared later. Obviously, the film is
intended to express concerns about the proliferation of private ownership. The film was shot in 1991, originally
The animation was even earlier, and at that time, 2001 was still in the future. So everything that happens in the film is just a possibility, something that may happen after the extreme proliferation of the private system. The film portrays this possibility very terrifying. It is to make you terrifying. The more terrible you are, the more you will think about it. To avoid this possibility, according to the logical reasoning, to avoid this possibility, of course, it is necessary to avoid too much private ownership as much as possible. From this perspective, the film is simply a political fable, but it is not purely sensory stimulation. Really, when I watched the film, I thought of Orwell more than once, and thought of "Nineteen Eighty-Four", but "Nineteen Eighty-four" expresses worries about extreme centralization, but this film is just the opposite, it worries. It is over-private and over-free. I think the CCP can actually use this film as a good textbook for political thought. I even doubt whether the original author of the animation is a Communist or has a communist ideological tendency. However, since I was a child, I have never liked anime. I have never read the original work and have no knowledge of the author. I don’t know exactly how this problem is. Of course, it’s completely prepared for danger in times of peace. This situation is even more precious.
Let me talk about a few characters in the play. The lead actor Fan Shaohuang later played Xuzhu, and
he also played a master in last year’s blockbuster "Ip Man", but the countryman was also a villain. He was quite young at the time, as if he was not yet eighteen years old and had good skills. Real Kung Fu, I remember an article that he mainly practiced Taekwondo. Later, he was a teacher of Jackie Chan, but he didn’t learn Kung Fu from Jackie Chan. He never learned Kung Fu from Jackie Chan. In fact, I want to fight alone and Jackie Chan probably can’t beat him. He) has very good muscles. Many people call it "Hong Kong’s Stallone", but his star luck is not good. Although he became famous as a teenager, this "Lord of Power" has almost become his swan song, and many people are very much about it. regret. In fact, Fan Shaohuang's appearance is good, but I always feel a little bit dull. It's not as good as Jet Li and Wu Jing. His temperament is not like Li, Wu and other sinicized. Although the performance in "The King of Power" is absolutely positive. A protagonist, but it still makes people feel a little too bloodthirsty. (I saw him lick the blood shed from himself and his opponent several times. There are other scenes that make me feel this way, but he can’t be blamed on this film. Everyone here is like this, and the bloody and terrifying scenes can be applauded.) Unlike traditional Chinese heroes, I don’t know if these have an adverse effect on their future.
Fan Meisheng, who plays the deputy warden, is a Shaw veteran actor. In real life, he starred in Fan Shao.
The emperor’s father, but he is the one who fought against Li Wang the most in the film, which is particularly bad. He was fat and ugly, very stiff, and only had one eye, one of which was fake. He was very sick when he took that fake eyeball. Whenever the father and son are together, I can’t help thinking about what Shaohuang Fan’s mother looks like. I think it’s not too bad even if it’s not a big beauty. Fan Meisheng is so ugly. Although Shaohuang Fan looks a bit dull, she is still handsome. of.
The actor who played the role of Master Wang and Uncle Good Ghost is not kind at first glance,
has a treacherous look, and often laughs treacherously. It seems that this is rarely the case in ordinary Chinese films.
There is also Oshima Yukari, a hit girl from Japan who has been developing in Hong Kong for a long time and has acted in
many films, but they all seem to be supporting roles and not of high taste. In this film, he played one of the four heavenly kings, Xicang Tianwang, whose name was Huangquan, was a good kung fu but rather evil, and was also a villain. He was later killed by King Li. He seems to be a male character and looks like a man in his makeup, but his voice is more like a eunuch, and he often says "fuck", but he looks handsome. Short hair and clothes are good. I don’t like the kind of trousers that are thick and thin. .
Acting warden of Ho Chia-chu is listed as one of the four wicked Hong Kong entertainment industry, appearances than
late start nor how to get involved, just like the feeling of not much effort as deputy warden, but in fact it is quite powerful. However, the appearance of his gong is really a bit scary. The whole person is transformed, much taller than normal, and he has a particularly strong ability to resist fights. However, he was pushed into the meat grinder and stirred into meat sauce by King Li, and there was only one left. The severely deformed head was held on his hands, and his death was also terrifying.
I probably won’t rewatch this movie again, but this time it’s not totally unprofitable.
