You have science, I have magic

Since the birth of the little long holiday, it seems that every holiday I can't do without the participation of bad movies. This Mid-Autumn Festival, as promised, the one who came to appear as a friendship is "Fighting Swordsmanship"!
Actually, alann and I have complained several times about the thunder of the poster before watching the film, but after a certain classmate suffered several blows, his interest in joining the new blockbuster has never diminished, so I had to take sister Shu Qi as the spirit Pillar, go together silently.

For example, the "Ip Man" series is a film that is heavily centered on Donnie Yen, and because of the success of the "Ip Man" series at the box office (and word of mouth?), Donnie Yen's status has been inflated in the film. He is the starring actor, acting as the action director, and probably the screenwriter is also involved in him. One can't help but suspect that he has been holding back for nearly 20 years, jumping from TV dramas to movies and then performing Chen Zhen's story. The former Jet Li's "Fighting Heroes" announced the official change of hands of the "Chinese Kung Fu Film No. 1 Brother". All kinds of associations between the two films must have been intentional by the crew, the theme continued, Chen Jiashang changed from director to producer, and the aura of Kurata Yasushi in "Heroes of Heroes" made a cameo appearance, and Hongkou Dojo became the main battlefield again... ...But, in addition to this, the gap between "Fighting Swordsman" and "Fighting Heroes" can't catch up with eight horses.

First of all, this film lacks criticism and reflection. Even as a commercial film, its shallowness is disgusting. The slogan "Chinese people are not the sick man of East Asia" has only chicken blood from beginning to end, without any rational observation, questioning and thinking. The theme of "Chinese warriors beat foreign devils" has played from Bruce Lee to Huo Yuanjia in the past 40 years. Even Donnie Yen has played Ip Man twice, and the adrenaline has not been exhausted yet? As a villain, foreign devils have evolved from individuals to groups, and their identity has been rising, but the same mania, paranoia, rudeness, lack of vision, and only vision... Since "Ip Man", I have been confused and thought: The 21st century is over. Ten years later, how can there still be foreign friends willing to play such disgusting roles in this kind of film - a classmate sighed: How much did they get paid! Apart from being backed up by force, it is not obvious that they have any intellectual and intellectual advantages over the Chinese - so are we being invaded by such a group of violent gangs for more than a hundred years? Compared to the cross-eyed, round-legged, and headless Japanese pirates in "Hands Up", I really don't know who makes the heroes and protagonists lose their share more than anyone else. In other words, it is not the heroic protagonist who loses the most shares, but the voiceless people who serve as the background of the plot, and the creators of the film don't care whether they lose their shares or not...

Secondly, as a kung fu film, it lacks the most important element - the understanding and performance of kung fu itself. As the male protagonist + martial arts, Donnie Yen unceremoniously took private goods and spread the bursting narcissistic spirit into all the fight scenes in the whole film, lest any one fight not be enough to show his strong martial arts skills. With well-developed muscles, there is no need to objectively understand and pay attention to kung fu itself. ——Even in the non-fighting scenes, he couldn't hide his complacent self-pity for his various talents! Zhen Chenzhen shocked the audience with Contra + Super Mario-style combat power at the beginning of the chapter - but seeing the smoke billowing, this guy bit a steel knife, rolled through the hail of bullets, and kicked down the telephone pole with one kick. The shape object made a single-plank bridge, flew up to the outer wall of the artillery tower, resisted the gravity with the gecko and dragon skills, and swam between the various firepower points, stabbed one by one straight in the throat, and single-handedly wiped out the entire team of well-equipped German soldiers. When it was, I could only think of Aunt Brigitte Lin's famous saying in "Invincible East 2": "You have science, I have magic!" Yes, magic, you can have it, Aunt Qingxia, Jiahui, and my family囧囧Has God Maggie sister flying around I love to see it; but, you are filming Chen Zhen! In the context of modern China, when we talk about the passage of "Chinese kung fu smashes foreign guns and foreign cannons", don't you feel that your IQ is inferior and your conscience is slightly uneasy? With the progress of the plot, Zhen Chenzhen proved his Chinese superspiderbatx-man's physique time and time again, and he was invincible all the way without any suspense, KO villain No. The above Japanese thugs, even cos Zilong brother came to take off his clothes when he finally PKed with the boss... Thank you, this is not a kung fu movie, it is a live-action online game. There is no reasonable confrontation, no opponents that are worth enough attention, no strong depiction of kung fu movements, and even the most basic technical links are ridiculous - when Chen Zhen, a disciple of Jingwu, used Ip Man's signature Wing Chun moves, fists When the villain was violently beaten like a shower, as a martial artist Donnie Yen, what did you eat?

Then, as a feature film, it's made up, messy, and full of holes. The protagonist is as powerful as a bug, and most of the decent supporting roles are bloodless and fleshless tools (except Huang Bo!) that serve the logic of the protagonist (except Huang Bo!). The appearance and exit are clueless, and the villains and supporting roles act irrationally, in order to give birth to the protagonist. The microcosmic explosion is the ultimate mission. The plot doesn't match up with each other, and there is no explanation after the clues are laid out. From the beginning to the end, you are swayed by a dizzying anger - Mr. Liu Weiqiang, you are famous for making hot-blooded animation, not chicken blood! Out of the HK background, you can't even tell the story?

In short, this is a film that has no professionalism, amplifies the various vulgarities of the "Ip Man" series, and tries to please but is destined to be hated. As the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, over the past 16 years, Chen Jiashang has degenerated from "Chinese Kung Fu has to break through" to "You have science and I have magic". I can only say that you have done the best for what you have said to yourself. Footnote:
Hong Kong movies have come to this day, not because of people like me and Wang Jing, but because of people like Xu Anhua and Wang Jiawei...

Looking back at Hong Kong-made kung fu movies, in the early 1990s, Old Monster Xu was I know how to discuss "who decides the fate of China" in "Once Upon a Time". Although the subject matter and layout are limited, this discussion is very simple and emotional; "Heroes of Jingwu" has gone a long way in reflecting on the shortcomings of kung fu and national themes and striving to deepen it. Even further, although the choice of what is sublimated is not without the urge to overdo it. However, up to now, "Fighting Forces", which seems to be the leader of contemporary Chinese kung fu films, can only utter "Chinese people are not sick men of East Asia", and can't, dare or disdain even a sense of responsibility for serious thinking. Yu have.

Then you still represent a Chinese with a p!

PS:
As for my spiritual support, Sister Shu Qi, it turns out that she, she, she can't save a big bad film - but was dragged into the water effortlessly by the bad film... During the process of watching the film, I cried out countless times in my heart: Hou Hsiao-Hsien Cai Mingliang, even Ma Chucheng is fine, hurry up and bring these sisters back! Yi's character has neither logic nor sense of existence, and even her beauty is declining due to the irresistible traces of the years. The only bright spot is that her identity as a spy is exposed at the end, appearing as a Japanese army cap + long coat look, the visual impact of the uniform system The force knocked me down in an instant - well, I, I'll assume you're taking a hardcore photo! Anyway, in the next second, you will be shot down by the villain No. 2... In the

end, it was the lovely classmate Huang Bo who supported me to survive! This guy lived up to his expectations and maintained a consistent level, becoming the only bright spot and moving point of the whole film!

For me, the biggest flaw is - Ma Yue Shu Shu, why are you here! The figure is still so tall, the eyes are still so bright, and the bridge of the nose is still so tall and straight, Ma Yue Shushu showed his face for less than five minutes in total, and made an excellent party member-style anti-Japanese patriotic speech. It was all in the shouting of newsboys and the discussions of passers-by—General X started a war with General X, General X could not defeat General X who was backed by the Japanese, and retreated, General X was besieged by General X on three sides, and the situation was critical, X The general was defeated, and he and his wife both sacrificed... The inner cow is full of faces, why did you come here to make this kind of soy sauce?
