The king of the jungle on the vast grassland

The story of Tarzan the Great Ape is familiar, from cartoons to live-action movies, there are countless versions. This time, the background of the story is set in the tenth year after Mount Tai returned to human society.

At the beginning of the film, the mysterious and atmospheric African music takes a long shot, showing the unique landforms of the virgin forest and the Congo Basin in front of the audience. Unconsciously, the single "circle of life" in #lionking# started to cycle in my mind, which has a strong African savannah atmosphere.

Haha, it's a bit too far, let's continue to come back and talk about #Taishan#.

The director told a story about love, persistence and return in the way of positive sequence and interlude. Greed and revenge, the seemingly contradictory combination, kicked off the film. The Duke Taishan, who has entered the upper class, can't resist the persistence of his sweetheart, and can't let go of his love for the grasslands and jungles, and returns to the Congo Basin (in fact, his heart still longs to return to the past life). And the next plot development seems to be expected, and a little unexpected. For example, the PK between Tarzan and the gorilla brothers, this scene is really unexpected, and this big man can withstand the crit of the gorilla. Of course, it is undeniable that the protagonist's halo still has a little effect.

Although there are multiple clues to perform together, the final outcome still cannot escape the melody of justice defeating evil (Aside from the ego and heroism of the old beauty, this film actually has a little deeper meaning, about colonization and plundering, about the crusade of war, although It's just a point to stop, but it's also considered intentional).

Even so, #太山# is still an IMAX worthy movie. The framing of the grassland and tropical rain forest is beautiful and magnificent, the cg production of each animal character is delicate and real (personally I think it is a little worse than #phantomforest#), especially the scene of the wildebeest rushing into the torture field at the end, how enjoyable it is.

I like the African ecological culture that is so close to people and nature, like the heroine's combination of hardness and softness, Shuxian and sexy, like the humorous, open-minded and responsible of the black brothers, like the iconic "wuwowo" of Mount Tai...

You go or not, #太山# is waiting for you there. This July, the strong return of the King of the Jungle is recommended to the theater IMAX.
