In the beginning of the duel, I can only say that it is illusory, samurai, samurai, you are so light that I am speechless. Whether the quirky style is the filming habit of some Korean directors will be ignored for the time being, but whether it is action or action (you read that right), coupled with the oriental background, it nakedly shows the director's ambition - the image of Chinese martial arts and South Korea's It's a little weaker than that. Maybe Li Shengmao wants to create a Korean-style martial arts image, but such "martial arts" can only be said to be outside but not inside.
Leaving the rivers and lakes with ease is not something that can be done casually.
I have to say that I was amazed by the ink painting background of the fight at the beginning. But with the experience of watching "Dragon Wars", I decided to break the expectations first and then build up after seeing the situation. The special effects background created by the special effects studio in New Zealand is indeed gorgeous and the virtual reality is perfectly alternated. But this film is still mainly defined as a martial arts movie, sci-fi and martial arts... It's like an enemy meeting and fighting and then losing both.
The movements of the samurai are mechanized. It looks very smooth, but everyone can see all kinds of stiffness. When he killed all his enemies and left a little baby girl, the sudden rain of cherry blossoms made a ruthless person feel tenderhearted. If such a dramatic change is a bit flashback, maybe I would have ignored it, but as a viewer, I can't control the hypersensitivity to a slightly larger character jump. Then the development is that the samurai walks around with a baby girl, meets a Buddha, kills a Buddha, sees a ghost and kills a ghost.
Then Mei said its name and said "find a friend" and crossed to the western United States.
Originally, I wanted to get out of here, but as soon as I heard the soundtrack of the western atmosphere, I sat down obediently (when will I get used to this = =). The ink-painted background turned into a Western oil painting with a clear texture, but it can be turned into a blunt and strange feeling. This kind of nondescript feeling made me swear in a soulful tone. And the appearance of this small town is really inexplicable. In my mind, there are no railways and no wells. There are so many people living in such a barren town in the long yellow sand. This is a miracle of mankind. As for our samurai, he was able to speak the language as soon as he hung up. There is also a young and lively girl who seems to be the youngest and lively girl in the town to hook up (enough) him, and when I think about it with my back heel, I know that the director is patting and patting to experience an old first love. [Enough
... Of course, it is normal for martial arts to match beautiful women. The samurai took over from a friend's laundromat as a house man in such a place, and the lively girl Ryan naturally admired the poker face after the samurai taught her how to play the knife and finally succeeded. Perhaps the experience of losing their parents when they were young brought them closer and closer, and finally, on a star-filled night, Miss Throwing Knife kissed Poker's face after a practice-style fight.
...Well, I admit that the fight between the two children in this section finally doesn't seem so rigid, and the girl's quick turn around makes me feel good all the time. But Jang Dong Gun's expression is so special, the girl is so fascinated by the kiss over there, and your eyes are too stiff to stay there. The director also took a 360-degree long shot under the stars at this time - isn't this method commonly used in old domestic soap operas? The background is very beautiful, and I can only be speechless because of the fake look and feel, good director brother.
One day, Mr. 8 told the samurai about the girl's past. What is still fresh in my memory is the first-person perspective shot of the girl's mother being shot to death by the head of the gang. But there is one thing that I think is very hard: in such a small town, the girls are 17 or 8, are they too confident that they will be buried in the sand after so long? The girl volunteered to show up (dedicate herself) to kill the leader, and when she was about to be X, the samurai took the sword and swiped the head a few times. You said it would be okay for the samurai to kill the leader directly? The girl had to do it herself, but the skills learned from the samurai were useless at all, and the leader changed his identity and ran away. Don't, you hate me and you hate me. Director, you must not give bonuses for action direction. But if you touch a sword for Mao, it can be located by the teacher's satellite? Is it really the unity of man and sword?
I was upset by the last half hour.
If you dig a grave, you can dig up a bunch of weapons and swipe them all to make a good use of the gun. Sharpshooter, don't you know that your range is too far? You didn't have such a high-tech gun back then! And the Ferris wheel in the desert really doesn't matter? That thing needs to be repaired and consumes gasoline. It's expensive to do maintenance. ! ! There are so many horse bandits who can't take down a village leader for more than ten years. You brought a group of fools, you know? You keep rushing forward and rushing forward, and everyone is blown up = =. The samurai mentor chasing and killing the legion actually flew to the roof to complete the deployment in a few seconds. Samurai brother Lingbo microsteps again and again to chop down the heads of the chasing corps. It's really neat and neat. One by one, they all flew over... When the samurai started to kill, did they only know how to raise the sword over the head and let the samurai attack the deadly part?
But the blur of light and shadow in the samurai entering the hall is amazing - the cult flavor is strong - and if the samurai is agile, it is very clear here (mostly real). But it was too unwise for the samurai to ask the girl to solve the problem for the second time, and the girl once again handed over the things she learned to the master... Fortunately, it is better to be clever or the girl dies, and I will feel bad for ORZ.
As for the final confrontation, it is better to return to the way of the Eastern samurai duel. The samurai is still a god-like existence, and he is alone, more and more lonely in the sunset.
In fact, I have absolutely no idea what this film is trying to say. Does it mean that you should take danger away from them for the sake of your loved ones? Or are the rivers and lakes always cruel and ruthless? But this is the director's debut. Although I don't know much about art, I feel that the special effects are still okay, and the photography is very good.
...but that didn't stop me from losing faith in Korean movies either. After all, most of us don’t accept this kind of movie that is meant to please Hollywood, and Hollywood will only question this movie: because it is not particularly good at anything. I wouldn't have finished it if it wasn't for the western-style soundtrack.
Director, you still failed to test the water.
