The movie "Tai Chi" released this time is unrestrained and eclectic. A kung fu movie in the traditional sense, while retaining the heroic momentum of martial arts, animation, video games, powered locomotives, rock, hip-hop, sci-fi, punk and other rich modern elements are also presented in turns and travel freely. Various alternative camera language, smooth and unexpected narrative methods, create a unique atmosphere of the fusion of comedy and kung fu, traditional and modern collage, and eclectic and eclectic. Including the character building of many characters, there is a sound quality of free personality, full of comic-like joy.
Perhaps animation, games, and cartoons, which were once considered subcultures, have now become mainstream cultures for major movie-watching groups. Bringing 15 to 25-year-olds into movie theaters instead of staying at home to watch movies online is What Breakthrough Pictures (Company) established by Feng Delun and Wu Yanzu is committed to "breakthrough"! Just imagine, in a lifetime, it is really rare to meet friends like Feng and Wu who support each other, work well together and achieve common achievements.
However, as a pure middle-aged audience, I sat in the theater with a middle-aged audience (hehe, a colleague in his fifties), but I didn't feel any psychological distance. We, like a bunch of young audience members in the theater, kept giggling, feeling that the movie was fun and interesting, and were curious about the development of the story.
And such a style of film, although it has the texture of young, fashionable and fresh games, is not only as simple as bringing the audience fun and good-looking. Although Feng Dao has repeatedly stated that "pure entertainment", however, a spiritual expression of heritage has not disappeared and given up in the "game" storytelling mentality. An inspirational story of a young "weird" who finally developed his talent and potential to become a master after some hardships and hardships. What runs through it is an extremely simple focus, dedication and pure quality, simple kindness and enthusiasm. These are not It is difficult to communicate and resonate with a new generation of audiences, or even audiences from multiple eras.
However, perhaps wanting to be different and innovating, not taking the usual path means that there will be more or less controversy or even slander, although the intention of the producer and director is clear, that is, to subvert the traditional kung fu film and make something new. movie of. In the thinking and orientation of art, being first often means difficult. For a while, movie fans have mixed opinions on "Tai Chi", and they have different opinions, but there are also some netizens who clearly commented and attacked "Tai Chi" as preconceived (foresight and prejudice without watching). In all fairness, as a mainstream commercial film, its film creation and packaging promotion must be more focused on considering and operating from a commercial perspective. It can be imagined that the producer and director have expectations for the giant "Tai Chi" and the pressure on the box office. , and when the film is tested by the market and the public, it is inevitable to accept a fate that is difficult to talk about and judge.
Fung Delun is an otaku in his life, a cutting-edge director who loves the works of Wong Kar Wai and To Qifeng in the film circle, and likes to try something new and challenge himself. He stated that his biggest hobbies are playing video games, reading comics, and listening to heavy metal music. This time he was able to incorporate his favorite elements into the film, and he felt very lucky. "Even if I die, I'm going to die trying new things." - Director Feng's remarks reflect his innovative consciousness and tolerance. Obviously, he can only break through the inherent image and personalization of creation, and refuse to single, Refusing to repeat can inject fresh vigor and vitality into the film. In this sense, no matter what the final box office of "Tai Chi" is, I appreciate the exploration and development of "Tai Chi", its non-conformity, and its strutting, daring to explore, and constantly surpassing spirit.
