Wake up, Guy Ritchie will have a meal too

There is such a film, he has a mythological background, the protagonist is a diaosi on the surface, and he is really the son of heaven. Later, he encounters an artifact that is exclusively for him, and starts a legendary journey exclusively for him. Along the way, he meets a mentor. , friends, and accompanied by powerful beauties, he also doubted his beliefs, but in the final battle, he still used an artifact to kill the evil ruler. Oh, by the way, this film was criticized because the main characters chose actors who did not match the skin color of the background theme. Coupled with the old-fashioned plot mode and the bizarre transformation of other countries' cultures by old beauty, it has a very poor reputation in China. That's right, I'm talking about - "King of Kung Fu"!

The plot mode is also very old-fashioned, and it is also full of old beauty's transformation of other countries' cultures. However, it has received unanimous praise from many "Wen Qing"——

Because the director is Guy Ritchie.

To tell you the truth, I usually don’t demand the director’s commercial theater productions. After all, everyone wants to have a good meal. This kind of Hollywood stereotyped music script is the same for anyone who shoots it, but I think everyone should be objective. What is the difference between the core of the film and the king of kung fu? Take away the poor Guy Ritchie-style footage, what is the difference between this film and the industrial flow film like Kung Fu King, except for the background of a Chinese myth and an English myth? How did it blow up.

Also, whether it is the King of Kung Fu or King Arthur, there is only one thing I really can't stand, that is, I beg you, you can adapt it any way you want, don't put the old white, the black and the old in the movie for zzzq or market reasons. Yellow, watching it really should be a drama, I can't help but wonder why there are black and yellow people in England during the legend of Arthur. If you really want to force it, the King of Human Kung Fu has compiled a time travel (although it is still blunt), if you can’t make it round, you can make it up! Then again, if the king of kung fu is a white protagonist, the US market may not necessarily increase much. Putting an Asian face full of stereotyped images into King Arthur can really increase the Chinese box office? Not so.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword quotes

  • The Mage: You know what we have to do. In order for him to control Excalibur, he needs to go to the Darklands.

    Bedivere: That's not happening.

    Bedivere: ...Welcome to the Darklands...

    The Mage: He needs to take the sword to the tower.

    Bedivere: Give me another way.

    The Mage: There is no other way. And he has to go alone.

    Bedivere: He can't survive the Darklands alone!

    The Mage: You don't want all of him to survive, that's the point. You have to break his old self completely, wear him down. You want him to think big? Give him something big to think about.

    Bedivere: You're playing with fire, mage. And I'm not killing the king before he's even become one!

  • The Mage: Pick it up. Pick it up with both hands.

    King Arthur: YOU pick it up.
