New martial arts, new thinking

I haven't watched Tai Chi 1, but I watched 2 directly, and the original plot was a little unattainable. But I was attracted by the novel shooting techniques and lighting in the play. Fung Delun is an up-and-coming director in Hong Kong. When our nostalgia for ancient costume and martial arts movies is still at the stage of Huang Feihong and Fang Shiyu. Feng Dao brings us new visual enjoyment. Whether it is actors, plots, props (mechanical devices), and background music, Feng Dao's unique thinking has been injected into it.

People who have seen this film have mixed reviews, but it is quite successful as an attempt at a new style of martial arts film. The first whole is not twisted, and it begins to innovate boldly at all levels from the history to the end. From the initial look of fresh, slightly critical, in the later stage, it has already adapted to the overall style of the film. Instead, it was interesting. When the second actor is used, if they put on modern clothes, these people will look like the team of idol dramas. Peng Yuyan and Feng Shaofeng, who are often described as handsome guys, have an excellent performance in the film. Chen Zaiyang, played by Feng Shaofeng, finally uses the bridge of Wei Tianyi to escape the Chinese version of the national superman Khan Cocker. Peng Yuyan's cold-blooded interpretation of Fang Zijing's revenge is also far beyond our traditional impression of him. Yu Niang played by A&B, although it is still difficult to get rid of her immaturity, she has tried her best to interpret it. A&B's fresh and refined appearance is slightly contrived with individual shots, but it does not hide its flaws.

The failure in the film personally thinks that there are two points. The first point is that the soundtrack of the movie is an absolute failure. The plot that should be very tense and highlight the characters is completely lost by the background music, as if watching a stage play, the music overshadows the development of the plot, and many plots seem very tasteless. The ending of the second film, seeing the final climax, should have started with Yu Niang & Lu Chan going to Beijing to file a complaint, but after the "seven levels" including the final kitchen fight, the ending was very hasty, and it felt like the salary was suddenly insufficient. The final ending is also very patchwork, and the bluntness of the patchwork is meaningless.

Although the plot music is a bit unreasonable, Feng Delun still tried his best to try a new concept of martial arts, which still impressed us deeply. come on

    If Tai Chi 1 still has some freshness of form, then it will basically disappear in 2. And it further magnifies the shortcomings of the story itself: single characters, flat plot, cold jokes. Except that the last showdown made a little correspondence between cooking skills and competitions, and also brought some new ideas. There's not much to watch in the whole movie.

    1 was pulled to watch 2 before I watched it. Although the plot is a bit sloppy, it is already very good to be able to shoot such an effect. Domestic movies themselves have always been unpopular. If you watch movies with a mentality that you don’t like at all, I think no matter how good a movie is, it will not be able to see any effect. It is a waste of time and energy! Those who say that the movie is bad should wash and sleep, and don't watch any domestic movies. I give 4 stars for the strong plastic surgery and hardworking actors
