Western blend of fantasy and oriental elements in the "Warriors of the door" looks not only nothing new, even more difficult to integrate completely into this eerie setting, and in the story of the film is more just a The field feels that the drama is patched together, the old stalk of the villain and growth, even the screenwriter of Luc Besson can't save the mediocrity of the plot.
In terms of content, "Warrior's Gate" is a particularly typical Western fantasy story. The protagonist is a useless boy who loves to play games in modern life. In order to avoid the pursuit of the villain, the oriental princess and the loyal warrior come Taking refuge in modern times, and our male protagonist has become the guardian of this princess by mistake, and is involved in the battle of good and evil in this different world. This kind of plot may be fascinating if it is only combined with the presentation of its own humanistic background in the West, but as a film that incorporates oriental elements, it becomes especially gibberish.
In fact, co-production films have always been a product that is difficult to be optimistic about, especially the so-called blending of things with huge cultural differences. Although the "Gate" has an empty background in the setting, hoping to create a new world view, what it does is only superficial, it seems to make a story about a Westerner's adventure and growth in an eastern country, but from the content From the above, apart from the costumes and faces, the film can no longer find any reflection of oriental culture. This approach simply satisfies the Western audience's curiosity and lust for the Orient.
In fact, from the overall point of view, Luc Besson's supervision and screenwriting of this film is more like his "Arthur and the Mini Kingdom" in this work, the only difference is that the former is oriented It's a child, and this movie is aimed at young people, adding some game gimmicks that young people are interested in. This kind of innovation in the plot is hard to see in his early years such as "The Fifth Element". The stunning, extremely mediocre story that has no sense of substitution at all, is not something that can be decorated by a little fancy exterior.
Using a story that can't be more Western than the so-called Eastern elements, such a nondescript combination of Chinese and Western, it is difficult to see humor, but it just makes the film full of embarrassment.
