In the evening, I went to New Century alone to watch "Martial Arts".

The film begins with a peaceful country life, sunny and peaceful. Therefore, according to the rules of watching movies for many years, there must be internal and external forces joining forces to destroy this tranquility, otherwise the screen will doze off by itself. People who blame Chinese movies for lack of imagination, you have spoiled Hollywood, all possibilities can be tolerated, blood vessels stiffened by needles, and large doses of morphine are not enough.

Takeshi Kaneshiro speaks Sichuan dialect and dubs himself, and he is amazed to death. He can be regarded as a character with less actor accent. However, as soon as Tang Wei speaks standard Mandarin and appears in a landscape picture with the villagers' simplicity, he immediately becomes embarrassed and wrinkled, and feels sorry for the film academy-trained Tang Wei who are living in this poor, pre-modern society and struggling. , like a female college student who was abducted and trafficked, "Blind Mountain" reappears. Language and sound are very important and directly affect the mood of watching movies. Watching "Kung Fu Panda 2" endures the crappy Mandarin dubbing, forgive yourself, after all, it is an animation, and the original voice is also dubbing, but the original English voice and the animation mouth shape are very consistent. The most unbearable thing about watching "Guanyin Mountain" is that Fan Bingbing, who came from the county seat, speaks standard Mandarin, and Chen Bolin has a Taiwanese accent. "Crazy Stone" Okay, try it with Mandarin! The sound has no ambience, no need to pose, everything is like acting.

So is language. What Yamano Murao said was like a petty bourgeoisie in the city. The dialogue between Xu Baijiu and Liu Jinxi goes beyond the environment, beyond the identity, and can be viewed through the standard. It is difficult for us to say things now. In 1917, when the vernacular was not yet prosperous, we could say it without difficulty in a rural area in Yunnan. A movie is a movie. You are watching a movie, do you know it? !

Liu Jinxi pretended to be honest and repeatedly reminded everyone that the real person should not show his face. This kind of bridge is used too much and is not attractive. However, it is not rigid to do a volt line and lead to the following. Everything repeats itself, there is relaxation, and it is stunned to see.

The section on Xu Baijiu's Detective Case is very new. The so-called scientific explanation of martial arts, whether there is any truth or not, is very observable. The real purpose of a movie is to look good, and other qualities can be subordinated to good looks. If you expect to shoot philosophical or other very literary descriptions, it is recommended to read the text, the light and shadow are not so intense. Similarly, if we really want to focus on this tangled scientific truth and lose the meaning of watching movies, we have Fang Zhouzi to refute rumors, why should we worry about it. The standard of "good-looking" is vague, opinions differ, and what I think is "good-looking" is new - both in content and form. The biggest impact "Monga" gave me was the living state of the folk triads in Taiwan. It was closely linked with the secular life, and it was a little different from the trench coat and sunglasses in "The True Color of Heroes" and the tattoos of "Young and Dangerous". This film looks good in the handling of the reenactment of the case, and the "scientific" explanation is as if it is refreshing.

I thought the film would go all the way in the style of Xu Baijiu's Detective Case, but who knew that the topic had changed, started to preach, began to be emotionally entangled, the story was no longer suspenseful, and became a conflict between the individual and the environment, a betrayal of the past, and personal growth. Social responsibility, the dispute between law and favor, etc. In Xu Baijiu’s mind, there were two little people fighting each other. I remembered that the struggle between the two lines in the novels of the Cultural Revolution was the victory of the mass line. The dogmatists who had fought hard against the law returned to the ranks of the people and wholeheartedly supported the “Three Combinations”. Case-solving route. I can't help but be disappointed, the more I think about it, the more shallow it becomes. While pursuing a profound theme, will it be so overwhelmed that it cannot be used?

The plot after the broken arm is the finale of clearing the boss. In a place that could have been full of fun, the imagination suddenly short-circuited, making a monkey eat a twist - full of twists. At the last moment, the boss actually died under the lightning strike, because of the needle - there is a scientific reason, and also gave a close-up of the foot needle. Originally there were logical deductions, and Xu Baijiu's step-by-step combination of theory and practice was shattered by this lightning strike design.

There is a slight touch, it is a decade of hiding.

Tang Long can hide for ten years as Liu Jinxi, change his name and leave his hometown, and make a clean break with the past. At that time, the society was full of survival gaps, and he was able to survive and live full of vitality. Now that heaven and earth are omnipotent, but there is no way to escape, the identity will last forever, and the system will become the biggest kidnapper, and he will not be able to move. I see Liu Jinxi resolutely abandoning the past, and my heart is moved. He is more fortunate than today's people. He has exceeded his duty and lived a stable life for ten years. We guard our duty until we die. , but the trend is arranged, the content is still empty.

The actor's performance is not much. Mainly because of Wang Yu, the protagonist is not hard-hearted and does not have the appearance of a heroine. Fortunately, the arrangement of supporting roles did not use Li Jing's kind of shit stick like "New Chinese Ghost Story" to spill the blood of the dog. Also reasonable.

Donnie Yen, Donnie Yen, everything is Donnie Yen, he looks too tough, and the ten years of craftsman's life in the village has not cultivated a bit of worldliness. He is still a martial artist, holding his throbbing muscles to carry out agricultural life, which is a bit hard. Takeshi Kaneshiro has a high score, but thanks to his Sichuan dialect, he taught himself and acted. Tang Wei can ignore it, whoever is acting is not acting, the character itself has no role to play, and it is as thin as a prop. Hui Yinghong is so sharp. When people are old, their murderous aura is even more serious, and their facial features are sharp, but they are still a notch worse than Xu Feng's expressionless face in those days. On the contrary, Wang Yu, Wang Yu's facial features are blurred as he is old, as if he has no gender, and he is actually a little happy when he is angry. However, Wang Yu's coming out still shocked me. The movements and expressions are people with years, and my heart trembled. Either I felt sorry for the years, or I felt aura. It is said that Wang Yu is not a standard hero, with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He should be an extremely troubled teenager with a broken arm. There is charm in this anti-bone. The leader of the Seventy-two Earth Demons, how could he not be an anti-bone boy.

The title of the film is "Martial Arts", as if the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth. With martial arts, how can there be chivalry? I can not find it.

There is also a small episode, Ayu washes the swim bladder, Jinxi doesn't let her wash it, and says that she is also bothered by the fishy smell, Ayu said that what to drink can prevent pregnancy, Jinxi said that it is mercury, which is poisonous. I just realized the role of the swim bladder, hahaha, that's great.
