I saw "13 Samurai" many years ago, it seems that Comrade Banderas starred, and it is almost a story of a group of people defending an isolated city.
Earlier this year, I watched Takashi Miike's "The Thirteen Assassins", and the killing line was vigorously chopped for an hour, and the big scene scheduling and editing were a little shocking.
In comparison, "Iron Armor" is really not a big production, and it's like a fight between two villages. Naturally, the plot doesn't stand up to scrutiny - a large army of thousands + siege vehicles + catapults + Nordic barbarians + kings, relying on a small town with a width of dozens of steps, 7 reinforcements + 11 soldiers + 3 Women + 1 temporary catapult, just keep it?
The description level of the group portraits is unclear. I only remember that the protagonist is a warrior who returned from the Crusades, and doubted his beliefs because of the war (like brother Nicolas Cage in the witch season?), in addition, there is a man who died of a bow and arrow. An archer (an archer shooting 100 people is a common scene in this type of film, and there is one in 13 samurai); a woman's scar ear is inseparable from anywhere (the axe is good, unlike the protagonist, the more he is with the girl The more courageous the sex, the more yin and the yang?); a single dad with a big belly and thin legs (I knew he was dead when he said goodbye to his children), a Zhengtai who grew up in battle (saying that The eyes are so beautiful, and the outline of the face reminds me of The Hobbit in The Lord of the Rings), a wool merchant-born earl (great grandpa Brian Cox, but unfortunately his short stature and age are really hard to fight Play), a gangster who was bought out by 3 shillings (much like the combination of the gun-wielding wanderer in the 13 assassins and the mountain bandit rescued on the mountain, note: cheaper than a prostitute). Alas, good memory is not good, I just wanted to talk about it briefly.
Summarized in one sentence: The character is not good enough, the martial arts is not strong enough, and the death is not special enough (except for the old man), just a mob.
Sajia thinks that the most exciting thing in the whole film is the monologue of the king (played by Paul Giamatti) before he cuts off the count's hands and feet. That is a domineering reveal! That's called a righteous one! That's a powerful persuasion! "Everything that threatens the king's power will be destroyed" - if it weren't for the tyranny of beheading hands and feet and throwing corpses from trebuchets, even the family would have been moved!
If you think about it, the little lords are all chaotic thieves who go against the sky, and they just made an empty letter when they won the king. Even if there is a rebellion, the vision is only short-sighted on "changing a king", which fully exposes its essential flaws and the incompleteness of the revolution. This kind of revolution is doomed to fail!
