During the trailer of The Return of Taishan, I took the shuttle bus of "Tarzan 1", which made me an old Taishan fan full of "fireworks-like fantasies", but because of the need for work, I didn't go to worship the first time it was released, but I heard the infinitely exaggerated praise from a colleague who came back (this is a married woman): "After reading it, I feel that the men and boys around me are all scumbags." The pink bubbles, so finally overcoming all obstacles, strutting toward the cinema.
I have to say that the screenwriter and director are too good at playing routines. The classic routine of American blockbusters "Love-Action-Funny-Humanity" is all ready, should I be disappointed, should I be disappointed or should I be disappointed!
Classic routine 1: love, love poems of male and female protagonists
Love needless to say, there are all Hollywood movies and even global movies, love is the main line that never goes out of style, after all, men and women all over the world are emotional animals, and they are also big movies The main body of consumption, so the big movies that are related to love will naturally make money faster. Don't tell me "Rain Man", "The Shawshank Redemption" and other popular and so-called movies, they are already human nature outside the routine Is it a movie? And how many years does it take to have a movie like them that can make money outside the routine, which is comparable to hundreds of "love" themed movies that make money quickly in a year.
Okay, let's go back to "The Return of Mount Tai", in which the love between Mount Tai and the heroine is the second line of the whole movie. I believe that everyone who has seen it will definitely appreciate the heroine's good-looking and gentle figure, brave heart Amazing, so perfect~~! ! I will also fall in love with Taishan for his chest muscles, high face, and fearlessness to protect his beloved wife and home compatriots. . . No matter what the men and women are in reality, just the heroine's courage to save the hero despite being caught by the big bad guy is already a heart-warming love poem. Is such a hero saving beauty out of date in your heart? Regardless of whether your heart is outdated, at least in my heart I still expect a hero to appear, so at least I will still pay for it.
Classic Routine 2: Action, not too shocking and no spirituality to
advertise a blockbuster, naturally there will be no less action, although the fighting section in it is not too shocking, but there are still naked body fights, and animals are united (I like this).
Hehe, when it comes to this, I have to spray it. This should be the most creative point of the story of Taishan. Nima is wasted like this. What is the king of the forest, what is the son of the forest, what is the ability to be with Animal communication, isn't it all said and done at the beginning? Taishan is a human who can communicate with animals, and can best know the magical existence of heaven and earth. But he knew the tiger, fought with the stars, and knew the language of the ostrich. And there are too few animals, and if you spend so much money to go to Africa, is Africa only a background, just a foil? Add some fresh air, the demeanor of both sides when meeting with the Xingxing family, the reactions of the animals when they know the return of Mount Tai, etc. At least some close-ups of details can make this land more spiritual, okay? The whole film is really heavy The son of the big "mountain". I felt the atmosphere, but no aura.
Classic Routine 3: Funny, funny to be
brilliant point. From the funny appearance of the Doctor to the funny incidents that happened when the Doctor walked with Taishan all the way, they added a lot of points to the whole movie. I wonder if Tarzan would be dead without the Doctor? A good story cannot be brilliant unless it has a funny one, should it be said that it is a failure or should it be considered a disappointment! The movie I imagined should be that the protagonist itself is very good, and the funny is a foil, so that the movie is called a good movie. Am I asking too much?
Classic routine 4: Human nature, hide it too deep
Well, almost all directors and screenwriters with a certain degree of height hope to sublimate their works to the level of human nature. What is human nature? Philosophy of life. I think what "The Return of Tarzan" wants to express is "love is a return". Returning home, returning to the heart, but I saw him go home, but he did not return. . . I also don't know where I should go back, I just feel that the master worker was not very happy until the end. You might want to say "I'm home, but my old home is no longer there". In fact, this is just a conjecture.
It's just that there is another place I want to say, isn't human nature a "spiritual", the resonance of the soul? Isn't Tarzan's story "a story of man, nature and animals, why is it the story of man and man that I see in the whole movie".
It's my expectations that are too high, it's possible! I hope that the Taishan in the next film is about the communication between man and nature and animals, not just the emotion between people, because how many people in this world can be better than Taishan and become "the son of nature, the ghost of the forest" what about? !
Again, the movie isn't ugly, but it's not great. Don't expect too much!
