Chibi One Victory: Atmosphere.
Most of the large and small films in recent years have fallen into one circle: they often render one tone and one artistic conception. They often sink into the root, complacent. It's like someone with a bad plan got the Chuan Guoyu Seal, held it in his hand and stroked it, until one day he looked down and looked: It used to be square, how come it's round now?
It’s probably not okay to be creative without being narcissistic. If you get a jade seal, don't care if it's true or false, it's natural for the fly to go out. However, if it affects the rhythm of the film too much, it seems a little petty. As for whether the film is atmospheric, it has nothing to do with how many sacks of money were spent. Rather, it means whether you can spare your "brain juice". When the effect comes out, it is clearly explained, and the next one is directly and decisively, not like a beautiful woman looking in a mirror. Rhythm control is an experienced technique and an atmosphere. (At least at the end, I didn't get a few people in white clothes like "Night Banquet", like "twisted neck and twisted buttocks" like the beginning of the film. It is called echoing before and after.)
One negative of Chibi: the characters are thin.
It may be that Luo Guanzhong and Chen Shou (authors of "Three Kingdoms") cannot be compressed. It is also possible that in order to dare to rhythm, each character image is weaker. Although I think Takeshi Kaneshiro is better-looking than Tang Guoqiang, and Tony Leung's eyes can be put down, but they all fall into the trap of being superficial. And most of these people should have content: for example, Zhou Yutong is melodious, kind and witty, and very gentle to Xiao Qiao, but it makes people feel that they have not grasped the domineering and spirituality that this character should have. Zhuge Liang even more so. Cao Cao and others are bluffing, and Zhao Yun is a weapon of mass destruction.
In this way, the above-mentioned "atmosphere" is set off into a kind of sadness of "big ambition and sparse talent".
Red Cliff Two Negatives: The lines are simple.
In the past, I said to an older brother: Can you teach me humor? The older brother said: "You wait for the little servant, you don't look embarrassed, but it's embarrassing to tell a joke that is not funny.
Personally, the so-called humor is a unique attitude towards all things in the world, plus tolerance. If the insights are not original, there is naturally no humorous material. But if you take it too seriously, you won't be able to laugh -- it's a big deal. Chibi's humor is the kind of humor that is neither unique nor tolerant, but is held everywhere: it is not embarrassing, but it is embarrassing.
Such "humor" often makes people feel unprepared beforehand, humming twice and sneering three times afterwards: Who wrote this script? !
The screenwriter is indeed lucky that his name is not written at the end of the film, otherwise he will be scolded.
This incident teaches us that Chinese films in the future should get out of the vicious circle of "guying self-pity" and shed the traces of petty family. At the same time, we should reflect on what and where the "Chinese humane thickness" to be promoted is. Therefore, it is called: the broom star in the dark night.
