Watching F1 a few days before the heavy rain, Alonso won the championship again, but the car god Schumacher can only watch the defeats of the past overtake one by one, Lecco leading the way Ning was once again stuck in the middle of the road. Racing is always thrilling, full of thrills and surprises, speed and passion.
From the moment I entered the screening hall and saw the young faces in the hall, I felt the youthful passion of "Initial D". The racers in the movie are too young, too young to worry about their future, too young to be greedy for the protection of their parents, too young to just begin to taste the sweetness and bitterness of love, too young to speed up and drive their youth. Can.
From the beginning of the film, the photography, editing, and soundtrack are all filled with a sense of speed, so that people don't even feel the passage of time when they watch it, and they don't realize that the movie has ended until the lights are turned on. I haven't tried this feeling for a long time, and now I have very few movies that I can watch from beginning to end without watching it once. And "Initial D" tells me that I can still be excited, cry, and laugh for a movie. I haven't lost this ability to put my heart into a movie, and I'm proud of myself.
I don't deny that watching "Initial D" is largely because of Jay Chou, not Liu Weiqiang, which should make me, a self-proclaimed super fan, ashamed. But I'm not ashamed at all, I'm proud, because it proves that I'm still young, because I like Jay Chou, I haven't found any elderly person, or a mature and prudent person who said that he likes Jay Chou. But I'm not, I like Jay Chou, and I dare to admit that I like it. Jay Chou belongs to young people, doesn't he?
Jay Chou and Fujiwara Takumi, these two people are too similar, they grew up in a single-parent family, like cars, youthful, introverted, and talented. I think Jay Chou must have seen his own shadow in Fujiwara Takumi. Compared with the real Jay Chou, I prefer Jay Chou in the movie. The real Jay Chou is no longer autistic now. He is always so flamboyant in the face of the media, and always so mature in the face of reporters. I miss Jay Chou when he first debuted. The innocence and shyness, thanks to "Initial D", let me see Jay Chou at that time in Fujiwara Takumi. There are comments that Jay Chou is acting purely in his true colors and has no acting skills at all. I disagree. Although the similarity between the two is too high, I can clearly feel that Jay Chou is not playing tickets. He is playing Fujiwara Takukai very seriously and diligently, not himself. This seriousness is reflected in his lines and behavior. , eyes, can really feel it.
Compared with Jay Chou's seriousness, the performance of another actor disappointed me. After watching the movie, I was surprised by the media's praise for Huang Qiusheng's performance. I have always disliked Huang Qiusheng's self-righteous words and deeds outside the play, but he always used his superb acting skills as his self-righteous capital again and again, leaving me speechless. But this time Huang Qiusheng's self-esteem was too high, which caused his performance to get out of control. In the end, all I saw was a fat old man who fainted again and again. That's the price of not being serious!
And this time Du Wenze's light completely overshadowed Huang Qiusheng, and the whole movie would be unimaginable without Du Wenze's gags. There is a saying in the performance world: Never play with animals and children. Because animals and children don't know what acting is, they always take everything as real, and even the best actors can't play them. I think it should be changed now to: Never play with animals, children and Du Wenze. Du Wenze is like a child playing at home. Take everything that is fake around you as real, take the Ashu you play as real, and the result of what you think is real is the wonderfulness of the character.
Liu Weiqiang has repeatedly emphasized that this is not a movie about racing cars, but also contains family, friendship, and love. However, the director's transitional pursuit of the sense of speed in the whole film has resulted in weakness in other aspects other than racing. He uses the same sense of speed to tell about family, friendship, and love, making the expression of emotions superficial and superficial, making people too late to appreciate and move them, and they are drawn out to the track of Qiu Mingshan. Although this makes the whole film have a coherent momentum, on the other hand, it loses the spirit of relaxation.
Tuo Hai is a master as soon as he appears, which reminds me of Xiao Feng in Jin Yong's writings, the only protagonist in Jin Yong's novels who is a master as soon as he appears. But compared to the hardships Xiao Feng has endured, Tuohai is so smooth, the only setback is that the car broke down and his girlfriend helped him communicate. Tuohai didn't work hard or work hard for his dream. And the theme of dreams that the film has emphasized many times also makes me feel as if it is outside the film, and is deliberately given to the film in order to elevate the theme of the film. I can't see how many dreams Takukai himself has, at least on the surface, that's how he feels. He goes to races again and again out of frustration, and his so-called dreams are more given to him by others. .
I don't like to let a simple movie carry too many themes, and let a simple movie tell too much righteousness, which will be the reason why I dislike a movie. For me, telling a story about a young racing car with ease, telling it wonderfully, and telling it interestingly is enough of a reason for me to like it.
Having said so many bad things about the movie doesn't mean that I don't love it, it's just because of the deep love that I blame it. What's more, all the shortcomings can't cover up the speed of youth that the movie spews out. Just like when I watched Takukai holding the steering wheel in one hand and chin in the other, driving the AE86 down from the Qiu Ming Mountain with a little thought, I would feel extremely happy.
