"The Return of Mount Tarzan": Serious and boring

I don't know why Alexander Skarsgard was chosen to play Tarzan. He has a slender figure and a stern face. There is a hint of hesitation in his expression, and there is a bit of seriousness hidden in his conversation and laughter. It should not be a problem if he plays an English gentleman. Playing Tarzan is a bit overwhelming. As the director of this film, David Yates, he had a strong dissatisfaction with the four "Harry Potter" films he directed, and watching this film with this emotion, as expected, there is still no story to tell. Inside, the plot is bland, without thinking and suspense, and the mediocre narrative and unexpressive description make all the characters in the film seem so rigid and unbearable. I originally expected that the villain of this film would have a great experience. In particular, the actor is Christopher Waltz. An actor who is so good at playing treacherous and vicious roles, he has almost no chance to show himself in the movie. Robbie took away the brilliance, and I have to say that it was a big mistake that the director didn't use people. In fact, when the movie first revealed that Alexander Skarsgard came to play Tarzan, I felt that this movie would definitely be a fate, because his temperament was too incompatible with Tarzan. He grew up in the jungle. Taishan is filled with a passion that can melt people, a positive and positive image of a sunny man, and the British aristocratic feminine temperament in him is just the opposite of Taishan, even if Taishan returns to normal. Society has integrated into modern civilization in the future, but the jungle atmosphere in him will not be wiped out. In addition, the director's creation of the film's atmosphere is too heavy and oppressive, and he unconsciously brings the film into the gutter.

As a post-queen film, the first half of the film has little to do with the jungle, exaggerating too much how sophisticated and calculating Taishan, who has stepped into a civilized society, has created a world sinking into the mundane. The living city of Mount Tai, not only is not full of eager expectations to return to the jungle, but instead shows a feeling of hating the jungle and unwilling to return to the past. How could such a black-bellied Taishan be endearing? It was Jane who was able to return to the jungle. It was her heart that was tired of worldly life and longed for pastoral freedom that persuaded Tai Shan, and this was the drama of returning to the jungle. Taishan, who originally grew up in the jungle, has no desire for the jungle. The answer given by the movie is a past when Taishan's parents were killed. He was more sad than happy, and the memories became his heart disease and made him indifferent. stand up. This has nothing to do with the previous Tarzan movies at all, and also put aside the relationship between the two, becoming an independent movie, and the style has also changed accordingly. This is really a bit too cruel. This Taishan is a grown-up Taishan, and it will not bring us any good childhood memories. He shows us more stories from the adult world, and the atmosphere has become gloomy and depressing, because we have grown up. There will be no more lighthearted moods, just constant problems and how to deal with the heavy lifting. Judging from the director's casting of Taishan, we know that the film will no longer tell a lighthearted and pleasant story. It can be seen from the solemn and serious expression between Taishan's eyebrows that the story of this film is a test of life in Experiences and adventures in the adult world.

In fact, what I most want to see when watching this movie is the orangutan, the friendship between Tarzan and the orangutan, and the unity between Tarzan and the orangutan to unite against the invasion of foreign enemies. It's a pity that the movie didn't use too much space to tell us the story between Taishan and the orangutan. Some of them just played together as if they were cleaning up old hatred. Not only did they not see a harmonious relationship, but instead showed one scene after another. battle. It was only then that the seemingly strong Mount Tai was found to be so thin and frail in front of the orangutans, and it became a matter of course for Mount Tai to be madly abused by the orangutans. Without a lot of interaction between the orangutan and Mount Tai, there is almost no point of view in the movie. It concentrates on a few characters, and there is almost no sense of that kind of fun. It is nothing more than crushing the conspiracy, saving the people of Limin, and then Once became a hero in people's hearts, the capitalization is boring, the capitalization is vulgar. I think that if the movie can work hard on the orangutan, the quality of the movie will be doubled immediately, because we only watch this movie because we want to see the orangutan. Without the orangutan as a foil, how can we reflect the wonderfulness of Mount Tai? It is said that Mount Tai was originally raised by orangutans, and since he has returned to the jungle again, the content of dealing with orangutans should be the main thing, but the director does not think so. There is no quality at all, the original work is completely copied, and there is no timely update and innovation, making the movie like a backwater, calm and drowsy.

Margot Robbie's performance is still eye-catching. She is lively and generous, and she is filled with a kind of happiness everywhere. No matter where she is, she brings joy and unity like a lively girl. She is such a warm character. It makes people feel warm, especially when she seductively says in the movie that this is the mating season, and the sultry index rises up, no matter which man I think it will be affected by it. Can't get overwhelmed by this blatant tease. And then there's Samuel Jackson. The Captain America he plays is a mouth-watering gun. Wherever he goes, he is so surprised that the voice of the whole scene is concentrated on him, whether it's a gag or a joke. , at the critical moment, he can always come forward and make up a shot in the back. It has to be said that these two characters completely cover up the demeanor of the protagonist Taishan, so that this taciturn and serious-looking British Taishan has no sense of existence at all, and his image is not friendly at all, not at all approachable. Just like a prince standing there, cold, very serious, very solemn, unable to be approached, let alone into his heart, always covering his mood with a melancholy face, making it elusive. We don't like this kind of Mount Tai, but we still like the image of Mount Tai who is smiling all day long, extremely happy, and has relatively simple behaviors and thoughts. He can always bring people happiness, always bring people positive energy, and be in the jungle with the orangutans. Traveling back and forth, forming a united and loving family with other animals, thus establishing the identity of the king of the jungle, that is the Mount Tai we are looking forward to.
