When I stumbled across the trailer for this movie before, I was really amazed: Steampunk? ! Chinese directors are finally eyeing this kind of niche thing? ? ? As a steampunk who is quite obsessed with the various amazing fantasies that Steampunk brings to me, I have always been deeply depressed because I have always been obsessed with such a niche but imaginative style but can't find a satisfactory work. The strong steampunk style of the film also learned that the theater near my home was showing it. I hardly go to the theater to watch movies. I decided to buy a ticket to enter the theater. The feeling after watching the whole movie is very different from the previous reviewers. I don't think this movie is a bad movie. At least compared with the domestic movies I have watched in recent years, this movie is not so boring that I can watch half of it. fell asleep. Of course, there is no denying that this film will be somewhat controversial. After all, as the first attempt to combine steampunk style and martial arts film, many people will accuse it of being a lousy domestic copycat film, with an old-fashioned and redundant plot and a similar style. "Mechanical City" is so much, but I think if it is close to the style of the game "Mechanical City", it just means that this film better integrates the steampunk style into the background of the late Qing Dynasty, which is actually worth learning from. the point. And from my personal point of view, although the plot is old-fashioned and the protagonist is useless, the 3D effect of this film is still acceptable, the action scenes are very enjoyable, and the music is much better than other domestic films. And it also has the characteristics of punk style. As far as the so-called steampunk style movies I have seen before, "Iron Sky" disappointed me to realize that this is a Cyberpunk movie with political satire, and "Hellboy" Most of them are Gothic. Although "The Night of the Lost Soul of a Child's Dream" is relatively good, it is a pity that it has a literary and artistic nature. On the contrary, "Tai Chi 1" makes me feel more fun, more enjoyable, and more steampunk. New hope.
I have always been interested in martial arts movies. Most of the time, it is because I feel that the "Chinese style" of martial arts movies cannot fully arouse my interest, so naturally I have little research and interest in the classics. However, since I accidentally saw the domestic animation "Qin Shi Mingyue" and found that martial arts can be so good-looking, I have become somewhat interested in this type of subject matter. Of course, the movie we are discussing here has nothing to do with "Qin Shimingyue", but I think "Tai Chi 1", like "Qin Shimingyue", can be used as a reference and reference for excellent domestic works.
There are actually many pioneers in the conception of Chinese-style steampunk. The earlier Kyushu series had conceived Chinese-style steampunk, but unfortunately it did not attract my attention and interest at that time. The reason is probably because of Kyushu’s Chinese-style steampunk The concept is set based on the alternate continent of this series, and I have no concept of this alternate world, nor do I understand its specific concept. If I am not familiar with it, I will not be very interested. I am very familiar with the background. It is roughly the period of the invasion of various powers in the late Qing Dynasty. In fact, it can be regarded as the Taiping Rebellion at the beginning. As for the appearance of Troy in the future, it is understandable that it really feels like a social hotspot of forced demolition (I personally think that this thing is over-inflated. Dalek= =), it is not wrong for the director to set the background of the era in the turbulent period of the late Qing Dynasty and then assist in making movies in the steampunk style. I have seen and participated in some steampunk Baidu Tieba and Weibo before. Discussion on the concept of Chinese-style steampunk proposed by the steampunk party, most people also tend to set the background of the story of Chinese-style steampunk in the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty and the period before the Republic of China. According to the background of "Tai Chi 1" It should be regarded as the late stage of the Westernization Movement. There are too many possibilities in this period, so the screenwriter can create more freely. In general, the screenwriter in this film is relatively free and casual, the plot is bloody but very smooth, but as the plot develops, it becomes a bit overwhelming, resulting in Yang Luchan, who was originally the protagonist, and finally completely reduced to various ways." "Master supporting role" is the "leading star" who plays soy sauce, and other actors can be regarded as their own performances. Probably many people will think that Peng Yuyan and Angelababy's performances make the film idolized again, but I personally feel that these two actors are in this film. The performance is quite satisfactory. After watching the preview below, I also look forward to the joining of Wu Yanzu and Feng Shaofeng. After all, there are not many domestic movies that can make people high from the beginning to the end. Personally, I don't have much requirements for this movie.
Writing so many discoveries is nonsense and doesn’t mention any ideas at all, but I think this film is quite inspiring to non-professional film fans and film critics like me, and the most important thing is that it opens up Chinese-style steampunk This kind of conception can also be regarded as an experimental attempt in the sluggish domestic martial arts movies. Of course, new things are always doubted and despised when they are born. It is inevitable that the film will be questioned and criticized, but it is even more sad if the film is stopped because of criticism and doubts. As for the connotation that the film wants to express, I personally feel that I should not take this film too seriously. At least the action scenes are very enjoyable, the music is very suitable for the atmosphere of the film, and the plot is not so messed up that I can't understand it. It is necessary to be too demanding... For the lower part, no matter what others think, I still look forward to the return of No. 25. The above is just some personal messes, so I can't say the afterthought ╮(╯▽╰)╭
PS : I feel that this movie can take advantage of the fire and launch a comic of the same name. Many scenes in the movie are actually quite comical XD
