Jackie Chan is undoubtedly such a big star enough to have a decisive role in a film. With the status of Jackie Chan's eldest brother today, and the director is the unknown junior Ding Sheng, we have reason to believe that Jackie Chan is the first author of the film "Little Soldier". From the selection of actors in the early stage to the promotion and promotion in the later stage, there are Jackie Chan's figures everywhere, especially the funny action style with Jackie Chan's characteristics, which has become the guarantee that the film is as good and fun as ever.
The film is easy to understand and has a clear theme. A soldier of Liang Guo and the prince of Wei Guo met on the battlefield. The soldier played by Jackie Chan wanted to tie the prince played by Wang Leehom back to the country to receive the reward, and then he could live and work in peace and contentment without fighting, but the prince was bent on making achievements and becoming a king and hegemony. In the process of encountering various tribulations and accidents along the way, there have been countless sharp confrontations between the very different values of the two sides. This proposition raised by the story is exactly the theme of the film. It is understandable that Jackie Chan hopes to change the style of Jackie Chan’s films with a slightly political appeal, and endow Jackie Chan’s films with richer connotations and broader social significance.
Also in terms of roles, it is also fundamentally different from the previous Jackie Chan roles. The little person is Jackie Chan's eternal character, but the little person becomes the big hero, which is the core of the story of Jackie Chan's films. In the previous Jackie Chan movies, Jackie Chan was always in a very low position, making a heroic deed while being looked down upon by others. And "big soldier" Jackie Chan is a thorough grassroots character. He has a simple concept of survival, and just wants to go home and live his life. In the film, he is forced to fight against the enemy, and most of them end in failure, and there is no final be a hero.
So on the other hand, the movie's comedy style has also undergone subtle changes. In the past, the playful and brilliant action scenes of Jackie Chan's movies like Keaton are gone, replaced by embarrassed soldiers. This is not Jackie Chan's lack of inspiration. , but the need to shape characters. Most of the film's comedy comes from "peasant" Jackie Chan's simple and somewhat naive thoughts, making people feel that this person is naive and cute.
There is a problem with such a character setting. The aura of Jackie Chan's brother is too strong, so that the honest and honest farmer is incompatible with the superstar temperament that shrouds him all the time. And we also noticed that the appearance of Wang Baoqiang in the film is really hilarious. Why is Wang Baoqiang so happy, because his character is duller and more naive, and even the enemy is baffled by his simplicity. So it would be more appropriate to assume that the soldier in the film who wants to go home and farm without the slightest pursuit of fame and fortune is played by Wang Baoqiang.
Of course, the film appeared in the bland New Year's Eve, and it still gave people a little surprise. Compared with many films filled with a lot of fighting scenes, "Little Soldier" has something to say, clear expression, and complete and distinct characters. The emotional power and ideological connotation of general action films.
