Can't tell a story, what kind of camera do you play?

Director Liu Weiqiang is a very good photographer. He has a very appropriate selection of shooting angles and the route of the camera. In the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy that made him famous, in addition to the two wonderful stories of Mai Zhuang, Liu's camera lens is also quite clean and fascinating.

Being able to take pictures does not mean that you can tell stories. To tell a story well, you must learn to grasp the rhythm of the narrative and ensure the coherence of the film; the story is inexplicably cut into segments, although each segment is quite delicately shot, but the whole is discounted too much.

The whole storyline is Ye Wen's version of Dongfengyu. There is no taste or freshness at all. The screenwriter is just a dry eater.

The soundtrack throughout is terrible, with a mediocre combination of fights and a distraction.

Zhen Kung Fu has turned into a superhero, especially in the first World War, he is like Batman, he is still a Batman without special equipment. The martial arts movements are mainly aimed at dazzling, and Ip Man Bruce Lee alternately possessed. It's pretty good to have a look at it.

Compared with the fbb in "Dongfeng and Rain", Shu Qi at least has a much smaller proportion of vases. Whether her purpose in the play is to express the conscience of the Japanese, or to increase the appreciation of singing and dancing, is unknown.

Huang Bo's role is very similar to the fat cat in "Ip Man 2", but due to the limited ability of the screenwriter, this character is very schizophrenic.

Also surnamed Huang, Mr. Qiusheng's role is relatively stable, and he doesn't have much room to play, which also allows him to complete the task.

To sum up, this is a superhero movie that doesn't tell a story and tries to impress the audience with a patriotic spirit.

After watching Liu Weiqiang + Donnie Yen, I am looking forward to the Guan Gong of Mai, Zhuang and Zhen.

    It is said that without Chen Jia, Donnie Yen and Liu Weiqiang often quarreled. With the chairman of the Hong Kong Awards, this work is well controlled. The theme is clear and direct, and the completion of the film is very consistent with the positioning. Although the "world peace" and other shots lack logic and are full of thunder, the original requirements of commercial films are not perfect in the essence of the film.
