After watching "The Strangers", I haven't felt that "it's really good to see this movie" for a long time. It should be said that this is the first time I have this feeling because of an animated movie.
The top-notch paintings and soundtracks can't be played too much. It's hard to believe that this is a work from 2007. Even now, it should belong to the best group. With the addition of the master's soundtrack and details, although it is mentioned that the plot is a little mediocre, I feel that it is a bit insufficient compared to the top painting and soundtrack. This movie has done the most important thing about a movie's plot - tell a story well.
Whether it is the pros and cons, the characters can portray their characters in a few shots in a short period of time, and their inner activities are clearly explained. It has to be said that the screenwriter's skills are evident.
As for expecting the plot to be more shocking and connotative, or to discuss something, I think that after 4 years of preparation and the unsurpassed painting so far, if you want to add the polishing of the plot, I think it will be a bit difficult for me to do it, even if I really want to do it, I have to guarantee The quality of the top art and soundtrack is really hard to come by.
In terms of plot, the movie cleverly controls the plot to be concise and clear: this story tells the story of the pursuit and belonging of a lonely soul. The theme of the story is long and melodious, just like the soundtrack.
Lonely people always believe that if they satisfy what they pursue, they can belong. The whole movie is about the pursuit of loners: Zai Taro, a Ming Dynasty exile in Japan, is isolated by everyone, and he only wants to live a free life without being hunted down. ; The ronin in a foreign land, Wuming, cannot let go of the past and exiled himself, and longs for redemption in his heart; the foreigner in the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei Luolang, seems out of place in the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese, and can only enjoy the joy of living in the battle he desires; The egret is afraid of death, so it pursues the immortal immortality; the tiger zhang pursues power, and the road to power will only become more and more lonely... Even the huzhang subordinates who have not many roles are pursuing promotion and princesses, and looking forward to finish their official duties earlier. Jinyi guards returning to their hometown.
The loners in pursuit are hated even as villains, and everyone has good reasons. People are fighting for their lives because the suitors are just in front of the other suitors. When all desires meet at the altar, the killing begins, the altar has finished enjoying the blood, and the unwillingness and loneliness of the suitors.
In the end, except for Wuming and Tsai Taro, whose life and death are unknown, everyone died on the road of pursuit, and the two of them were the only ones who only passively pursued what they wanted. Maybe people should not pursue it in the first place, but if there is no more Pursuit, how to resolve loneliness?
