The Gods of the Past

This is a movie of 85 years

But there is already a stunning and spectacular world setting

Unique plot and interpretation style

Even 1:2.35 format design

Even today, 34 years later

Can still leave many large pieces behind and eat dirt

Interestingly

I watched part 4 first

Then I turned my head and turned out this old movie to see

First of all, I was very, very surprised that the movie 34 years ago could achieve such an effect.

Especially this is not a thought film that wins with depth

It's a style action movie that wins by scenes

Some movies are as immortal as Socrates

Some movies are as beautiful and immortal as Venus

certainly

Times are always progressing

Now it seems

There are indeed flaws

First of all, the balance between thought and artistry in this old film is not decisive enough.

Maybe people of that era always felt that a good film must be accompanied by a good soul chicken soup.

Excessive side-by-side explanations and prospects including slightly procrastinated cutscenes

Affected the rhythm and aesthetic performance of the film

Especially the background music that is more classical and too contrived

It doesn’t match the rock’s style of the movie’s hardcore violent aesthetics at all.

It’s better to match with more powerful sound effects

In addition, due to technical limitations, the picture quality is also insufficient

The figures of many actors also have the flaws of the times and are not perfect

But it’s really just a minor flaw and not a failure

And these flaws have basically been perfected in Part 4.

When looking forward to Part 5

Turning my head to look at this old part 3 is also kind of enjoyment

The most touching scene of the film is probably a scene of a group of children expecting and disappointed on the plane

The most exciting nature is the speed fighting in the desert. . . Take a look at the luxury cars after the devastation (Is the statue in front of the tractor a bit familiar?)

In short

If you don’t watch it because it was a movie more than 30 years ago

That's definitely a miss
