I just came back from watching Wuji in the cinema~ I don't want to comment too much on Wuji's storyline, because its visual impact has greatly exceeded my imagination, which may make me ignore the shortcomings of the plot. Chen Kaige may want to tell the audience the mystery of life through a tragic love story, and the fate of people can be changed! The power of love is great!
The luxurious atmosphere of Ye Jintian's clothing design, as well as the perfect performance of Chinese elements. Exquisite workmanship. Delicate engraving. Including the details ~ for example, the blind slave's blindfold is so delicate. It can be seen that there is no ambiguity in the rigor of the entire film. I am studying art, probably because of the pursuit of beauty. Makes me especially excited while watching the video! It may be much worse than the storyline of Director Chen Da's <
>! But visually it makes up for it a lot! Color, composition, clothing, make-up, and of course, thanks to the application of high-tech perfection! (Except for the bulls running wild at the beginning... I feel that the Chinese CG industry requires women to work hard!!). I regret that the performances of the actors were not very good, maybe because of the script or because of the timing. They didn't give them much time to interpret the characters. I also feel that Xiao Xie's acting skills need to be improved, and I don't have a good grasp of the character of Wuhuan, as if he was played by him as a messenger in the palace. . . . . . Fighting with Wang (Cheng Qian) who died within a few minutes of his appearance, hehe, it's funny!
They all say Chen Kaige. Zhang Yimou is always fighting against each other in his career, and Mouzi has always been chasing the appetite of enthusiastic fans in the past few years. Playing with visual effects and ignoring the grasp of the film's storyline. From the beginning of the heroic big red, white, blue and green blocks, except for the dizziness of the people, there is no inner touch, and then to "House of Flying Daggers", a cliché love triangle with Zhang Nizi's watchable drum dance. I don't have much feeling either, so I can say that I resisted watching it~ It seems that Laomouzi's career has reached its peak! There is no chance of a breakthrough anymore! Also, the thought-provoking philosophies of life in other people's past works have made all the classics incisive and vivid, except for "good" you have nothing to say! After playing enough philosophy and art, let’s change the taste again, introduce the old and bring forth the new, let your brain rest, and stop thinking about the troublesome world. It is not a bad suggestion to jump to the visual arts development, just like the beauty of the broken arm Venus, but this is also the expectation that the enthusiastic fans are somewhat disappointed!
Chen Kaige has done a perfect and successful director. There are no failed works, it can be said that they are rushing to the peak of their career. A <> I think is enough to establish him as a world film master. Now it has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and I don't think Oscar is a problem. <<None>>The successful combination of art and business caters to the audience's taste without losing the aesthetic standard. With Bao Dexi's perfect lens language, coupled with Ye Jintian's extreme Chinese elements of clothing design, it is absolutely in line with the public's taste, (it seems that some Chinese audiences are not very optimistic about "Wuji", but it does satisfy the curiosity of foreigners who have always been interested in Chinese culture. !) Coupled with Chen Kaige's great emotional depiction, rational manipulation. I think <<Wuji>> will push Chinese movies to the world stage! ~~ Highly recommended!
