The film embodies the biggest advantage of the current Chinese film industry-willfulness and richness! The Chinese capital has paid to invite the Hollywood team at the Oscar level to cooperate. This was unimaginable ten years ago, but now it has easily become a reality. Although there are some unsatisfactory aspects of the film quality, let's be regarded as an exploration of another creative method.
The problem now is how to objectively evaluate such a movie with high audiovisual language effects and visual appreciation, but with a relatively weak plot story. Let’s shoot the negative scores on the forehead, Hollywood-level action and editing, and real swords and guns fighting scenes are also impressive. Two American actors, one old and one young, show up in the audience, and the lower abdominal muscles make more girls. The audience coveted three points. But the weak plot and the cultural background of alienation make it an exaggeration to say that this is a good movie.
Objectively speaking, there is a big gap between different types of work in this film, and they are not at the same level, which causes the overall effect of the film to be somewhat loose.
Five-star action and editing
The director of the film has served as the action director or assistant director of Hollywood blockbusters before coming to China to take over. He has work experience in a series of masterpieces such as "Gladiator", "The Bourne Shadow" and "The Last Samurai". This has become the basic guarantee for the excellent action design and editing of the film. The 10-minute siege segment at the beginning of the film is very enjoyable, reminiscent of "Kings of Heaven" or "300 Warriors of Sparta", and runs through the film. The action scenes sometimes have the shadow of Japanese samurai movies, and sometimes have American drama-style picture processing, which ensures the basic viewing of the movie.
The four-star scenes and scenery are
an international co-production project. Yunnan Film Group is a Chinese producer, and the scenery of one side raises the other people, and the Chinese landscape is also vividly expressed in the movie. From the western style deserts and markets to the sparkling boat trips on the lakes and mountains, the escape journey of the movie is also a journey scenery film in a sense. The scene change and scenery exploration without repetition also enhance the visual appreciation of the movie. sex.
Samsung's actor performance
In the performance of the film’s actors, the male number one is worthy of recognition. From the early Star Wars little fresh meat to the baby-faced uncle who has experienced vicissitudes of life, his abdominal muscles are still eight pieces and his body is still healthy. Duan undoubtedly attracted the attention of female audiences, and it was reasonable to find the princess in the end. In recent years, Nicholas Cage has been bitterly acting no matter what kind of strange movie roles, self-destructive image of blind white bandit, courage is praiseworthy, can be called the conscience of the industry. Liu Yifei and Cage play surprisingly consistent. You say she has no acting skills. She should cry or laugh according to the plot, which is not against the harmony. But she can say that she has acting skills. The costume dramas she has received over the years are basically vase roles. .
The appearance of supporting characters in the movie has maintained a high level, without the amateurism that is common in domestic movies. It can be seen that the Hollywood makeup and props team has played a basic quality guarantee in the movie.
And the biggest casting failure in the movie lies in the role of the young prince. I don’t know if it’s because of the English dialogue that caused the difficulty of casting. I actually found a bitter-faced kid to play the role of the prince. He played the role of the villain. In front of the eldest brother, I really feel that it is better to hand over the throne. The drag of this important role has reduced the quality of the film's literary works.
The cultural fusion of two stars is
a co-production film invested by multiple countries. Cultural fusion has become a big problem. It is obviously also the most important thing for the success of the movie. The movie tells the story of two crusaders who are tired of war and come to Eastern China. Saved the princess and prince who fled, the story itself is rather bizarre. In dealing with Chinese history, an extremely overhead joking technique was used, similar to "The Promise", which may seem unreliable to Chinese audiences who are accustomed to historical dramas. In fact, after all, they are the screenwriters and directors of the Western team. They are obviously inexperienced in how to shoot Chinese court dramas. In the movie, the prince kills his father. The prince shows arrogance and brutality. It is not introverted in the Eastern style, but more like traditional ancient Rome and Greece. The tyrant in the theme movie. There are huge gaps in the cultural integration of the entire film, which undoubtedly affects the final effect of the film.
One-star literary drama
If combining the above elements, the movie can still maintain a good viewing standard, then the most obstacle comes from the movie's script. As a genre film, the basic needs of the audience are relatively simple, chase and escape, love and fear, a justice of samurai, an evil tyrant, touching love and sacrifice, and a universal value.
The basic elements of these types of movies are basically guaranteed in the film, but the problem lies in the handling of each scene. Although the martial arts maintains a high level of viewing, the effect of the literary drama is obviously not optimistic. , The emotions of the characters were not reflected smoothly. For example, how did the emotional drama between the oriental princess and the male lead develop step by step? The English version of the line is weaker. I hope that the Chinese version will be better.
In short, "White Ghost" is a martial arts show, the action scenes show the visual level of Hollywood, but the action film with weaker plot, with an entertaining mood to see the effect of eating popcorn on the abdominal muscles, although the story and The script makes people can't help but complain, it's considered as an interesting co-production attempt.
