Because I didn't watch any of the trailers before, so I didn't have any expectations. I just saw someone on the Internet saying that it is much better than Zhang Yimou's patriotic ideology. Naturally, Zhang Yimou has become a royalist and a cash cow, and Tsui Hark is still in the usual rough hero line . The film is not ugly. Compared with the previous martial arts films where guns are fired indiscriminately and the sky is flying around, it is much more simple. The simple and bloody scenes are omitted. The fighting scenes are not very exciting, and there are often some inexplicable scenes. It makes people wonder if the editor has a problem.
In addition, the story can still be said a bit, although it can avoid exaggeration and waste, unnecessary big scenes, but the story can be more attractive. There are several protagonists in it, and basically there is no performance. Liming and the child are almost like they are talking to the little fans, which is not convincing. The good-looking ones are still Sun Honglei and those "bad guys" who use all kinds of strange weapons, and Sun Honglei's character is quite humorous and his words are very cute.
Speaking of Koreans here, Su Yong asked if it was because of Dae Jang Geum's popularity. There was an inexplicable Korean woman in this movie. All the heroines were unkempt and dirty. Only this Korean woman came out of the mud and didn't. Dyeing, whitening and moving, so the emotional scene should have been staged by Lu Yi and Zhang Jingchu, but in the end the limelight was robbed by Donnie Yen and Korean women.
After all, it can be seen that this movie is relatively bland, and the Seven Swords are inexplicably unsheathed. Without the rendering and magic, it is always a bit unsatisfactory, but this movie reminds me of the classic New Dragon Inn, Tsui Hark The style of "Seven Swords" has returned, but without the acting skills of the three major stars and the rich characters of the story, Seven Swords is a movie with a lot of regrets. Despite this, I still like it more.
There is a passage in the film that arouses my feelings, that is the part where the horse is released. When the old horse Fu chased back, Lu Yi did not cry, but the fourth child cried, which should be rated as the best sensational scene in the film. The other slow-motion scenes might as well be omitted, especially when they reach Zhang Jingchu, the shots become procrastinated and unattractive. Actors don’t use it that way. If Seven Swords were to be cumbersome and compact, and the main line clear, it would still be a good movie, anyway. Bought the disc, I will watch it again.
