The battlefield of "Red Cliff" is indeed extraordinary. The crowds in the big scene are comparable to the Lord of the Rings, which is even more unprecedented than the grand occasion of overlooking the Beijing Railway Station Square during the Spring Festival. , The people and horses are everywhere, and the movement is not chaotic at all, which is quite shocking. Wu Yusen needs heroes, so the huge war scene is actually just to set off the bravery of a few heroes. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun's appearances are all quite mighty. The fast and slow mirrors are simply hot-handed detectives in the age of cold weapons. Although Gan Xing and Zhou Yu only played in stoppage time, their sturdiness is also very comparable, especially Zhou Gongjin's mid-air twist and broken arrows are the coolest to kill, Yuan Kui should add point.
In Wu Yusen's films, the sympathy between heroes is also indispensable. Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu played a chorus, like Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang under Tsui Hark's camera, Zhou Yufei as Zhao Zilong defending the arrow - the key saliva scene in Hong Kong films, everyone is Hero, so "only he can stop the bullet for me". This kind of friendship between men runs through "Chibi". In short, as long as two positive key characters get together, similar plots will be triggered, so I won't repeat them one by one.
In addition to the above-mentioned Wu's signature dishes, "Chibi" is really too bland. Pulling last year's "Famous Name" to talk about things, it is also a costume war blockbuster. The latter can make people fully immersed from beginning to end, relying on Chen Kexin's feelings for the movie. The scenes of "Red Cliff" are bigger and more luxurious, but There is no performance at all on this point. To exaggerate a little, the temperament of "Red Cliff" can even be regarded as frivolous. The whole film is full of countless nonsensical dialogues aside, and the brotherhood is superficial and even false, which seems to be a common problem in Chinese costume blockbusters in recent years - except for "Famous Name". Even in a war scene, the sympathetic "Putting the Name" gives people a real and tragic feeling, while "Red Cliff" only contains Lao Wu's heroism and violent aesthetics.
The capacity of "Red Cliff" is also large enough, and there are still key dishes that have not been served for two and a half hours. Looking at the last episode now, the two episodes are too few. It should be made into a trilogy like "Armageddon", because the plot progressed too fast in the previous hour. How much to expect for the next episode? Only the visual effects of the battleship duel and the burning company are left, or is there another twist? I'm afraid this temperament has already been finalized.
Among the actors, Tony Leung is still Tony Leung, and Takeshi Kaneshiro is still Takeshi Kaneshiro. I'm afraid it's impossible to talk about who is brilliant, but the latter's performance is not as good as in "Famous Name". The temperament of Bassen who plays Guan Yu is more than a little bit worse - what I used for comparison is Guan Erye Wang Weiguo in "Love in Time and Space".
Big scenes, small feelings, this is the weakness of "Red Cliff", it's impossible to talk about the conclusion, it's better to leave some hope for the next episode.
