I watched three movies recently, "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", "Passers-by", and "Monster Hunt". When I walked out of the theater, they all felt the same - sad.
"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", needless to say, seeing director Chen Kaige filmed like that at an age, with a bizarre tone and tone, a high-ranking master attitude, and naked selling of corruption. One year, there were rumors that "Farewell My Concubine" was actually filmed by Chen Kaige's father. A few days later, the entertainment website Focus Map released a set of PR drafts and released the set photos of "The Overlord". Chen Kaige personally directed the film. , slammed Fang Qiu, in order to use the picture facts to overcome the rumors. This incident is particularly sad when I think about it: a Chinese master director used the photos of the set more than ten years ago to prove that his most awesome works were really shot by himself, and the reason is because he never did Did a good job. And Director Chen, in fact, you shouldn't use a set of set photos to conquer rumors, but you should use a great work to shut everyone up.
The sadness of "Passerby A" comes from the theme itself. Although it is a pot of chicken soup with excessive MSG, it is still a little moving to see those jerky teenagers and girls shouting their dreams.
I went to the premiere of "Monster Hunt" last night. I saw the huge Huba doll jumping up and down on the stage with all my strength. I saw director Xu Chengyi thank everyone over and over again for thanking Bai Baihe and Boss Jiang. He almost cried, listening to the host. People talk about the difficulty and difficulty of the two shootings, and they talk about making concerted efforts.
Finally, when the movie was over, the people in the stands walked sparsely, and the end credits were very long. Finally, I reached the part of the special effects company. The infield special effects staff were still there. They cheered loudly and applauded desperately. No doubt, some of them were in tears.
Thinking about the road this movie has taken, it is absurd and sad. After a movie is finished and finished, it will be post-production and commercials will be put on. However, because of an actor's problem, hundreds of thousands of accounts will be released. People's efforts accompanied him in vain, so Boss Jiang gritted his teeth, spent a lot of money, took another shot, and experienced another set of twists and turns that he didn't know the future. And just in the past few days, the release of "Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" has put "Monster Hunting" in an embarrassing situation again. Most of Fang Zuming's scenes are retained. In view of this, is the remake of "Monster Hunting" a bit ridiculous and redundant? In the upcoming summer season when the demons are dancing, it is said that "Monster Hunt" will cost more than 1 billion to recover its cost. It is the "Pancake Man" that has a good reputation. Will Huba be able to break through in the melee? No one knew what they were going to face.
It's like watching the gorgeous dance of a tragic hero, watching this movie with an indescribable mood.
From a purely cinematic point of view, I give this movie a 7 out of 10. Gorgeous special effects that I haven't seen in a long time, Chinese actors who behave normally in Chinese movies I haven't seen in a long time, and a director who tells stories normally that I haven't seen in a long time. There are laughs, cuteness, big scenes, and action scenes. There is love, hearty, and it is worth the fare anyway. After the Chinese audience experienced the baptism of pure and bad films such as "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" in the first half of the year, a conscience film such as "Monster Hunt" can save lives.
Of course, this movie also has some unavoidable flaws. Apart from some far-fetched plots, it is a little childish. I often feel that I am watching a children's cartoon, and I think there should be children everywhere. The theme of the film is not grand, it seems that there is no core proposition and values, a clear new world has not been established, and the theme of "symbiosis between demons and people" has not been fully explained, and many scenes are just for big scenes. And the big scene. But the flaws don't hide the flaws, or I'm more forgiving of the movie, these flaws don't affect the overall look and feel.
From an emotional point of view, I would give this movie 8 points and 1 point for sympathy. For the special effects staff who cheered and applauded desperately in the field, the results of their hard work finally came to light.
