The director absolutely did not do his homework and did not study Chinese culture carefully, so he yelled some
1. In the film, the story of "Lo pan once fought with Qin Shihuang and was finally sealed by Qin Shihuang" is a well-known story in China. , Is Chinese history! ! ! I was puzzled. I have studied history for so many years. Why haven't I heard of such a period? Even experts who study Chinese folk tales have never heard such an incredible storyline.
2. There is a gesture in Chinese martial arts, that is, the arm is straight, the index finger and thumb are raised in the palm, and the other three fingers are bent. This pose is generally luck. I don’t know the specific meaning, but it has become a gesture of greeting by the Chinese in the film! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
3. Chinese people all speak Cantonese. This is the common sense of foreigners. Why, the first batch of overseas Chinese who emigrated were mostly Cantonese. At that time, the majority of Chinatowns spoke Cantonese, so foreigners took it for granted as the official language of China. ——Chinese Mandarin is——Cantonese. Of course, this is also related to the influence of the Hong Kong film, Bruce Lee. In this film, even people from Beijing speak Cantonese. . . . . .
4. The appearance of several guards of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, hey, what do you want me to say, this is an obvious copy of the heroic image in the Shaw Brothers movie, whether it is a straw hat or a clothes. . . .
5. Chinese magic and black magic are evil. China has Maoshan, Xianshu, and Yanshu. What do you do with such Western things as black magic? Harry Potter, if Chinese magic is so awesome, our country is modern History would not be so suffocated, hahaha
6, the Chinese I Ching divination myth, which Chinese old man with divination can know the developments, also pretentiously watching gossip map, tell: "ram sheep touch Fan, lean their corner"
so esoteric Guaci, China People look confused, and foreigners are even more confused.
7. Actually, Carpenter can go to "Shan Hai Jing" to learn about the monsters in China. Don't make special Japanese films or American monsters. It is against the peace. What is the name of the monster? Is it of Chinese nationality?
However, the filming of the film is very serious, the computer special effects and the setting are very hard, especially the setting, which should be the most Chinese characteristic in the film. This can be said to be Carpenter’s big investment. It can be seen from the poster of the film. Punte’s ambitions are similar in poster style to "Indiana Jones". Carpenter wanted to create a B-level version of "Indiana Jones". Unfortunately, after the filming, the Chinese did not buy it, and the foreigners were even more fascinated by it.
In the film, Lo pan pays tribute to the Qing Emperor. Carpenter is still a bit common sense. The Qing Emperor is an ancient Chinese god who controls the east of the world. It is also one of the main objects of the ancient emperors and ancestral temples. Since this Lo pan is the capital It should be the emperor's level to have fought with Qin Shihuang, and it is quite reliable to pay homage to the Qing Emperor.
The martial arts design in the film is okay. It should have hired foreign aid. The better one for foreigners to shoot kung fu movies is "The Matrix", and Carpenter is already pretty good in this way.
It is worth mentioning that the overall image of the Chinese actors in this film is good (even the big guards in the villains are handsome guys). You must know that the image of Chinese in Hollywood movies is insignificant and selfish. In this film, Wang's Wang looks very heroic, with great eyes and good skills. He has the feeling of Zou Zhaolong, but he looks more upright than Zou Zhaolong. The actor is Dennis Dun, and he has also acted in Carpenter's "The Return of the Devil" ", in the film played a Chinese student, there are many actors in "The Devil's Return to the Soul", for example, the Chinese old man Chen Dan has played the Chinese professor in "Heaven", and several other Chinese have their own characteristics, which can be seen Carpenter is very friendly to Chinese people.
Kurt Russell is Carpenter’s queen hero. His performance in this film is disappointing. He has a weak sense of presence, is not good at it, and always makes mentally retarded mistakes.
There are a lot of nonsense jokes in the film. This kind of jokes appear a lot in Hong Kong movies. It is uncomfortable to appear in Hollywood movies. For example, Kurt Russell shot through the ceiling and was stunned. Such jokes are in Hong Kong movies. It should be funny, but appearing in this film can only be described as mentally retarded.
According to the routine of Hong Kong movies, the ending should be a wonderful BOSS battle. Since you pay tribute, you have to follow suit, but the ending of Nima’s movie is surprising. You have to watch it yourself. .
In short, as a time-killing film, this movie is still very joyful.
PS: Carpenter doesn’t know much about Chinese culture, so it’s understandable to make this kind of movie, and it doesn’t mean to insult China. Some directors know China well. Culture, but deliberately distorted when shooting, this behavior is worthy of our spurn, we should despise the mentally handicapped movies like "The Mummy 3"! ! ! ! !
PPS: Now we are going to add a movie. We should also despise mentally handicapped movies like "The Great Wall"! ! ! ! Table insults Chinese culture! ! !
