To be honest, I just went there for the purpose of watching bad movies. Then, the movie really sucks.
I don't quite understand why some people still have hope for this kind of team. Just look at Cheng Xiaodong's gorgeous filmmaking history - from "The Invincible Resurrection of the East" to "Jiangshan Beauty", once this guy leaves his position in action design and tries to take on the heavy responsibility of the director, he will tell the story in a particularly unreasonable way . The core of everything he tries to express in his narration, no matter how simple it is, will be presented in a ridiculous way. So this "Legend of the White Snake" has naturally changed from a love preaching film to a pure cleaning film.
I won't talk about special effects. In fact, I can tolerate special effects. I think physical special effects in the 1970s and 1980s are very good; in the later "Wuji", I also think that it is not the case. It doesn't make sense - so although the snake body of the two green and white snakes in this film is similar to the patch animation of CCTV's version of Journey to the West, I still think that some people have made good use of a handful of water to flood the golden mountains, so that the Chinese people will break through in a roundabout way. Once swollen chrysanthemum can't shoot casual disaster movie's stupid rules. That's it, it deserves a star.
Back to the story. I think the plot of the whole film is a big reunion where "mentally handicapped children are more happy". Not to mention why Xu Xian, who is a native of Qiantang, Hangzhou, went to Sichuan to collect herbs. At the beginning, was the flower-eating scene just to imply that Xu Xian was a nympho? Then the nympho young Xu Xian started the adventures of nympho who kept falling into the water. Then, after several times of dipping into the water and picking it up, Bai Suzhen, an older leftover girl, successfully got Kaizi Xuxian, breaking her 1,700-year-old maiden status, and then the two got married naked.
Naked marriage must be subject to various obstacles, which "The Age of Naked Marriage" has explained very clearly. But there is no character setting like a snobbish and annoying mother-in-law in the Legend of the White Snake, and this responsibility falls to Fahai.
In fact, Fahai is the executor of a law. In his legal system, it is said that if shemales cannot fall in love, he will execute them. As for amending the law, it's really not his turn to take care of it. So I've never felt that Fahai's actions are inauthentic - that feeling is especially reinforced in this film. The blue and white snakes have been making trouble unreasonably. In the last game, the water flooded the mountains, and the monk Fahai was so hard-hearted and merciless to killers. This was many times more reasonable than Tong Jiaqian's mother! And all the way down the plot, I didn't feel that the white snake and Xu Xian had any deep emotional foundation at all. Water Man Jinshan looked more like a puberty farce than saving the husband.
Probably because Tsui Hark has been making old-fashioned Hong Kong films for a long time, and when he heard the word "deconstruction", he wanted to join in the fun, but the large number of adaptations in it are completely unflattering ramblings - including "can The character of "forbearance", not to mention being able to endure is actually extremely unbearable, and the emotional line between him and Xiaoqing is also particularly illogical. In the end, the reason why Qing Snake left Can Endure is quite inexplicable. Is it because he "no longer believes in love" because he saw the White Snake being crushed under the tower?
In fact, The Legend of the White Snake has developed from three words and two shots all the way, and it is already a very complete set of legendary stories. .
In the end, Xu Xian's being possessed by a demon was flamboyantly forgotten by the director, and our Susu also showed his true body under the Leifeng Pagoda - a white baba. Using this as a footnote at the end makes me think that maybe Cheng Xiaodong still has the self-knowledge of points.
