Some Chinese commented on the Internet that although this film is based on Chinese culture, it does not deal with the difference and cannot grasp the essence. In fact, I don't take this view. Because this is a magical cartoon based on Eastern culture after all, and it is not a historical drama, so there is no need to make it exactly the same. Secondly, in fact, many people in the country really did not understand the profound connotation of this cartoon. If they understood, they would not criticize the animation for "not grasping the essence of Chinese culture".
When watching this movie, I really often secretly marveled, marveling that foreigners have such a thorough understanding of Chinese culture, marveling that they are so careful in making this animation. Here are a few points:
1. Fighting: First of all, everyone may have a feeling about this animation, that is, the fighting actions in it are very Chinese. Yes, it can be said with certainty that the fighting actions and moves of the characters in it are all. Chinese kong-fu. But this is not the most important thing. The key is that through the application of these martial arts movements and the explanation of the characters in the film, the people who made this film must have a deep research on the pure Chinese martial arts.
Shui Zong obviously imitated Tai Chi, and the yin and yang phases in the design inside, push and pull, make it tasteful. And the fight of the uncle of the Huo Zong emperor Ai Long is even more exciting. In one episode, he easily overwhelmed a man who robbed him in the Everlasting City. The layman may have seen it, but in fact, the application of his trick Wanwanquan is a melee usage of Chinese martial arts, Bajiquan has a similar usage, and Baguazhang has a similar usage. In the episode where Su Ji appeared for the first time, the action application used to hit her future boyfriend was also an authentic Chinese martial arts usage. It's all with skill, not effort. And General Ai Long's explanation of Dantian Qihai is even more impressive. The most amazing thing is that when Zheng Zheng taught An to learn Huo Zong's luck, the essentials he talked about were completely the spit-na method of Neijiaquan. . . When I saw this, I was shocked. . In fact, in this animation, if the splendid elemental scenes are discarded, the moves of each school are traceable. Generally speaking, the water sect is basically a Tai Chi movement, the Huo sect's posture is obviously Baguazhang (halo, unfortunately, it is just a posture, and it becomes a fire-breathing villain with one hand~), and the Qi sect's stick method is based on the Shaolin reform. Yes, while Tuzong is an obvious foreign boxing action. In order to illustrate the meticulous design of fighting actions in this animation, I will talk about one detail here. In one episode, the clean clan of the soil country meets the dirty clan. Two patriarchs fight with swords. I saw the sword of the clean clan leader. He was suppressed. These movements and moves were definitely not made up at all. As soon as his sword was shot, it was in a straight line with his wrist, leaning out from the bottom to the top, twisting it with the waist. This is a typical Chinese sword. There is no other way. In fact, in the current movies and TV series, those who can pay attention to these details, apart from Jet Li and other actors with certain martial arts skills, few actor directors have noticed these. They always deliberately imitate martial arts moves, or create fancy and ridiculously gorgeous moves, but they don't know the essence of martial arts, and this animation can do this, really embarrassing those costume drama actors.
Go to the toilet first. . . .
