If you've ever paid to go to the cinema to watch "Chibi", you must watch "Chibi". Because you must want to know, after the people all over the country expressed their likes and dislikes on "Chibi" for a long time, whether "Red Cliff" has developed according to your ideas. After all, the Three Kingdoms story is of great significance to the Chinese people. If you haven't watched "Chibi", you have to watch "Chibi". In this ever-changing era, don't you want to witness the Three Kingdoms story that keeps pace with the times for the first time? Therefore, the box office must easily exceed 100 million. Although in China, the box office has not fully explained the quality of the film.
If the trailer on "Chibi" is better than the movie, then the level under "Chibi" far exceeds the trailer under "Chibi".
First of all, the burning Chibi, which the people of the whole country are looking forward to, appeared. Really big scene. Although the stunt is still a bit fake. But finally let my eyes be blinded by a fire. The warship was instantly destroyed. Don't tell me "all war movies are anti-war" at this time. Audiences don't come to the cinema for this. Our goal is to return to the thrilling battlefield of ancient times, and we just want to excite ourselves. So I personally think that the shot of burning Chibi can give a little more time. If you want to be cruel, be cruel to the extreme. At the end, the chord of reflection can be touched. And this is the big flaw of the film. There are many anti-war lines in the film, but the contrast of the scenes is not shocking enough, resulting in a weak appeal. Moreover, the intrigue and ambition accumulated in the story of the Three Kingdoms for many years, trying to change people's opinions with a film, at least not under "Chibi". This is far less than the impact of "Braveheart" on historical facts. Putting this aside, the handling of war scenes can indeed be called an epic blockbuster compared to "Heroes". It doesn't matter if you are not completely loyal to the historical facts. If you can stir up the torrent of history in people's hearts, that is success. Lu Feikuai, who made a horse on the battlefield, resounded in my heart. It's a pity that the effect of Shenzhen Qunxing Cinema was so poor that it got stuck twice at the critical moment.
The anti-war details in the film are deliberately made, and I believe that friends who have seen it will have an impression. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu preached everywhere that they just wanted to protect their family and protect the country. On the battlefield, Sun Quan saw the tragic fire of the soldiers, and shouted, "Don't come up again!" It seemed that the enemy's soldiers were also human beings. After defeating Cao Cao in the end, Zhou Yu said, "Wherever you came from, go back to where you came from." "We all lost." What they hoped to express was that their purpose was just "to expel the Tartars and restore China." But which war is undead? Since you have chosen to be a soldier, how can you not see blood? It's incredible that Cao Cao was released because of this. If human rights are required, it can only be stopped by killing. Wars can only stop if those who create strife are incapable of continuing. Of course, this view is for Cao Cao's handling. And the real war comes from human greed. A few slogans alone are really not enough to resist the war.
Epic blockbusters are often interspersed with small touches to enrich the film. There are two things I still remember fresh, one is the scene where the Soochow Burning Boat Expendable Team tore up the family letter before they set off. Maybe because I'm a girl, I'm particularly moved. Home letters worth ten thousand gold. When the thin piece of paper was thrown into the air, the thick concern of life was cut off. How many people have fought in ancient times! ! ! ! ! ! ! This scene is more memorable than the anti-war slogans shouted in the film. There is another place where everyone on the school ground distributes glutinous rice balls for Zhou Yu to eat. At this time, everyone knew that his wife went to Cao Cao to delay the time, waiting for the arrival of the east wind, and the beauty went to the satyr, and everyone sighed for him. Not only soldiers, but also generals made inhuman sacrifices. Whose fault is this? The beauties of Soochow entered Cao Cao's barracks one after another. They can't even protect their own women, and they want women to go to the forefront and do their best. This is what the war brings to people. At this point, the morale of Soochow should be soaring to the top.
Before "Red Cliff", I only paid attention to Lin Chiling's fall from a horse, which caused her chest to shrink. On "Red Cliff", I only saw her and Zhou Yu's beautiful acting skills. But now, I have to say that it doesn't matter whether she has acting skills or not. What matters is that her beauty has indeed been excavated in the film. Of course, the voice acting is indispensable. Secondly, every time the camera is switched, people can see her dignified beauty from far to near, and then it is too late to take a closer look at the acne, and the camera immediately turns away. The overall appearance is really good. In the film of this man's hormonal outbreak, it really needs such a tender beauty to swim away from it. "Red Cliff" confirms that John Woo chose her, which is indeed right.
Every director has his own preferences. so that we can recognize his work from world cinema. The dialogue between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang at the end of the film is the obvious trace of Beibei Mountain's super invincibility. Two big men, two faces that covered the screen, were only 0.01 cm away from kissing. At this time, I believe many people think that Xiao Qiao is redundant to stand there. I also felt uncomfortable with myself.
Of course the last thing I have to say is the lines. As one might expect, the style of the thunderous lines continues. "With my many years of farming experience" Zhuge Liang's words are really speechless. "You are out of date." When Guan Yu said this to Cao Cao, I was really surprised. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao did not withdraw from the stage of history. "It's okay if you're stupid, and it makes me stupid too." I can't imagine that such a self-willed hero would say such a thing that was kicked by a donkey in front of him. This is the tone of a country farmer. If he said something like "Shuzi mistaken me!", it might be worthy of his aura. "Don't make trouble", usually men only say to two kinds of people: daughter or lover. Moreover, it is not a matter of life and death. So when Cao Cao said to Xiao Qiao who was about to commit suicide, he suddenly narrowed the distance between them. In a trance, they turned into a pet quarrel, hehe.
In general, it is not easy to finally make an epic blockbuster. Despite the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" bead and jade in front, I still do not reject accepting new things. Although there are many places that are terrifying, this is not history. This is the interpretation of the story of the Three Kingdoms in our era. Just like people like to shoot a vulture from time to time, some are good and some are bad. Consciously marked the traces of the times. Let's keep calm.
After "Red Cliff", the New Year's Eve in 2009 is worth looking forward to. Naturally, on January 20, Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing". People always expect that those who have produced high-quality products will continue to produce high-quality products. Usually, this expectation will be disappointed. Because the starting point is different. So Ning Hao, who is no longer a nameless boy, can he not fall into the rut? I do not know either. Just go and see!
