Myth? Fairytale?

It would be too naive to let me ignore those bugs and be moved blindly; if I was not moved at all because of the bugs, it would not be true.
This is a dilemma movie.
The pictures are magnificent, the scenery is magnificent, there are good and evil, serious and humorous, heroes and beauties, villains and righteous people, martial arts and literary dramas, magic and reality, love and friendship... Ordinarily, these factors are mixed The movie should be a good movie. What's more, the director is the famous Tang Jili, the protagonist is the famous Jackie Chan, and even the supporting actor is the actor Leung Ka Fai, and the heroine is my favorite Korean beauty Kim Hee-sun. ——Ordinarily, the movies that gathered these famous actors should be my favorite movies.

It's just that my liking didn't play out according to the cards.
I was depressed because I wanted to be deeply and deeply moved, and although I was moved, it was not as deep and deep as I wanted.
In a love that spans thousands of years, one party is waiting impatiently, "I'll wait for you to come back!" she said firmly. One party is reincarnated, and the woman in white cannot be forgotten in the soul and dream. Who is she? He was determined to find out.
He was injured for her, and she used her hair to sew his wounds (a great idea!) He was frozen, and she used her body to warm him; she entered the palace, as cold as ice, but when he came, she showed a smile, as bright as a spring flower ; She was on the verge of desperation, he went to ask for medicine, just because he had the medicine, the emperor didn't have to die, and she didn't have to be buried. For this reason, he lost his life and fell into the cycle of reincarnation, but he couldn't forget his previous life in the dream. Her eyes were like a red thread, tying him together, step by step, walking back to the place where he had been separated, and then renewing the front.
It's like a "terracotta warrior" where the roles are reversed. "Burning the heart with fire, let the fire melt me.... Let thousands of lives know my heart..."
However, even though "The Terracotta Warriors" is "purely fictional", it still seems reasonable and complete. The explanation is far more touching. The ending seems to be unfinished, the ending seems to be unfinished, and the aftertaste is long.
And the love in "Myth" is like a candle flame in a gust of wind, swaying constantly, making people look trembling, it seems that if you don't pay attention, it will be blown away by the wind. I dare not say that it is not touching. It seems that if she is not touched at all, she will be too heartless. The tears of joy on her face when they meet again are still moving. When the Xuan Palace was about to be destroyed, she insisted on retreating and insisted on continuing to wait, which was tempting.

However, love comes too easily, although love does not need a reason, but a love that lasts for thousands of years requires brewing, a long time or an extremely violent catalyst to turn water into wine. In a political alliance marriage, Princess Yushu knew her mission well, so she could abandon the man she promised to marry and come to a foreign land; as a royal woman, she would understand the loyalty of her subjects for granted, and Meng Yi sacrificed her life to save her. , not for the princess, but for the first emperor, the princess's move should be, but not to the point of showing promise. It's not as simple as "God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light." Movies are not MTV either. MTV can only keep clips, and there are infinite possibilities for extension, but movies are realistic, not relying on people's guesses but giving answers.

Myth has too many mysteries. In the past thousand years, how has the princess lived? Elixir can change a person's physiological functions and make a person in a state of inedia. You don't even need to eat and drink dew to live a good life, but what about clothes? Could it be that clothes can also be immortalized by the light of elixir? What about hair? Can you not wash it? ...It's really a vulgar and vulgar idea, but that white robe is better than snow and blue silk like a waterfall, and it looks like a thousand years as a day, there must be a tenable reason. Why is the person who tested the medicine sealed in the hanging palace? How did the hanging palace come about? How come all the objects in the hanging palace are arranged so well? (With my superficial knowledge of physics, I really can't figure it out. Although myths cannot be explained by science, they can't be too outrageous.) Why does the princess naively believe that Meng Yi will come back alive? Meng Yi never took medicine. In "The Terracotta Warriors", Meng Tianfang is ignorant and ignorant and has been sealed for thousands of years, which is more convincing.

But, is this my growth or my failure? With such a rational analysis, the demolition of the Seven Treasures Tower is really unpleasant, and I still have suspense in the face of the breathtakingly beautiful picture. Beauty cannot be simply beautiful. This kind of feeling makes people boring. Wouldn't it be better to believe this myth and burst into tears when moved? ——In the final analysis, Shaohua is no longer, and innocence is no longer.

    8.2 After watching the movie, I became a Jackie Chan fan. "Myth" brought the theme song "Beautiful Myth". After listening to the three versions, the version of Jackie Chan and Kim Hee-sun is still good, and the Korean part of the chorus is very spiritual. The time-travel drama 15 years ago, a rare aesthetic work in Jackie Chan's movies, integrates costumes, love, action, and comedy. Jackie Chan's action comedy was truly unique at that time. However, the special effects are really a bit awkward, and the flying effects are really not good. And what happened to Meng Yi's horse, juggling, he can lift his hind legs to kick people... The fusion of ancient and modern dramas is not good enough, after all, the languages ​​and costumes of the two eras are very different in all aspects. Ancient dramas are better. The scene where Meng Yi died in battle was very good. One husband was in charge, and the atmosphere of Wanfu Mokai was excellent. It was really good for Kim Hee-sun to appear in a costume drama. At the peak of her appearance, she was really good-looking (I heard that she was selected as one of the top ten beauties in Korea in 2019?)

    Not bad, I took time to watch it again in the past two days, and reminded myself to write a long review on Friday. After all, the director's lens aesthetics are very to my taste.
