There is a special guest in the inn. He is in the dust, he carries a sword with him, his face is always hidden in the shadow, and he spends his time drinking to sorrow.
Two catties of wine, one catty of beef, then two catties of wine, one catty of beef, and so on.
No one knows that he was Anakin Skywalker back then, and he was exiled here in order to escape the painful memory of the Crusades. And in that sunny afternoon, when he met the escaped princess Lian and her younger brother Prince Zhao. He used a flying sword to rescue them from the soldiers who were chasing and killing them. At that time, he thought it was just an ordinary act of righteousness. However, he did not expect to change his life from then on, and also saved the huge empire and thousands of empires in the eastern land. Thousands of subjects.
The above is the summary of the story of "Legend of White Ghosts: Escape", a film that was written in 2003. The story was originally set in the desolate and gloomy Britain. However, in 2005, the filmmaker Jie made a film in China. Remy Bolt was deeply attracted by the local scenery, and he had the idea of filming in China. So he changed the background of the protagonist’s journey from Europe in the Dark Ages to the Ancient East, and the project originally called "Akon Ode" was also renamed "The Pale Warrior", and later changed to "The Legend of the White Ghost" escape".
Doesn't it sound very emotional? The exchange and collision of Chinese and Western cultures-this is indeed an exciting idea. So we saw the beautiful and delicate fugitive princess in the movie, the orthodox prince who was immature and extraordinary, the life of the disgusted muscular prince, the black girl who became a dumb singer, and there is always something in bad movies. Nicholas Cage, the king of lousy movies with steady play. In this movie, Cage's role is probably similar to that of a mountain eagle. I'm drunk with this combination, but think about the purple-bearded and blue-eyed Sun Quan can also take possession of the Jiangdong side, so it is not impossible for Uncle Cage, who has grown so vicissitudes, to fall grass in the mountains in the far east and marry Jike Junyi. Accepted. It is worth mentioning that Liu Yifei, the goddess of facial paralysis, actually showed some acting skills in this movie, which is really surprising.
Such a highly criticized movie may not be the original intention of the producer, but the fact is that the producer's superficial imagination of the East ruined a movie that should have been exciting.
Once upon a time, Western civilization imagined the East through Marco Polo's travel notes. In this famous YY travel note, the East is a rich country full of wine and honey. In modern times, when Western powers knocked on the door of the ancient east with guns and ships, they were surprised to find that the people on this continent were so backward and ignorant. In the contemporary era, the participating films of Chinese directors at major film festivals have misled the three views of Westerners to some extent. Therefore, although cultural exchanges between China and the West have increased, not all directors can accurately grasp the essence of Eastern culture. Just look at the Chinese elements involved in American TV shows. There may be an element of arrogance, but I think objective reasons also exist.
Because of this, it’s no surprise that the film was so nondescript: the leaky coup was just to satisfy the imagination of court conspiracies; the prince who indulged his unruly abdominal muscles all his life died in a single challenge, which is probably "Ice The abuse of the Red Viper in "Song of Fire"; the appearance of both the male protagonist and the male partner are drunk masters is obviously a tribute to martial arts; the little prince Zhao in the second stage is simply a bear child. Chang Liyou; As for Jike Junyi, such an outstanding student of Chinese Voice is actually a dumb character in it-these settings all bring a certain inexplicable sense of cuteness.
Court conspiracy, desperate escape, princesses and knights, young emperors and commoner girls, down-and-out masters with stunts, and loyal guards, this is probably the film's producer's understanding of Chinese elements.
But fortunately, the mental retardation in the plot did not affect the performance of the technical level. The solid props and background of this film are by no means something cheating and bad films are willing to do, and the photography and soundtrack are even worthy of praise. When Hayden Christensen’s handsome face appeared in the picturesque landscape, the sun shone from the reeds, the melodious soundtrack sounded, and the memories flashed by in front of him. At that moment, Hollywood’s hard Strength becomes the greatest sincerity of this movie.
