must be admitted that the performance of the article is wonderful enough, so wonderful that it will make people feel that if this role makes me
It must be admitted that Huang Bo's Sun Wukong is worthy of praise, because his performance makes people realize that this is indeed a Stephen Chow
movie. A movie that turns over will never be a movie of Stephen Chow, a movie that is not a protagonist who is destined to step on the colorful clouds and return will never be a movie of Stephen Chow, and a movie of a heroine without a queen's temperament will never be a movie of Stephen Chow (except for Dian Qiuxiang, that vase). Ah...), a movie without countless outstanding passers-by is never a Stephen Chow movie, and most importantly, a movie that won't make you laugh like a fool, it is definitely not a Stephen Chow movie.
Stephen Chow's films will always be a tragicomedy. As a comedian, it may be the greatest tragedy in the world. I think the best proof of this game is not Star Lord, but Kim Kelly, who will always be on the altar in my heart. When looking back on Star Lord's countless movies, there are always countless strong shadows of Kim Kelly. A comedian may be the most difficult actor to make a play (here, I can't help but remember the dead Heath Ledger and Rong Shao), but also bear the biggest misunderstanding, the audience does not need their heartfelt emotions, but exaggeration. And intuitive performance. Superficial and cheap needs keep these comedians from becoming clowns forever. In this regard, in "The Man on the Moon", Jim Kelly took a sigh of relief and smashed the audience inside and outside the screen. When he finished reading a book at the audience meeting And it's not funny, when he hangs the picture with a smirk on his body, he has already won everyone. Zhou Xingchi didn't have such a chance to punch their audience hard, the only thing he could do was to leave his character and let the audience's eyes turn away from him and turn to the movie. The only regret is that this movie can't hit the audience's soft underbelly. The too turbulent group memory has diluted the theme of the movie itself. When the audience hugs the movie and finds out whether Bai Jingjing is with the Supreme Treasure in the end When watching this movie with the mentality of being together, the movie has already lost the original intention of Xing Ye.
In each of his films, Master Xing tries to tell a story of success. "Kung Fu" is his greatest effort, but once the heavy theme appears, the audience will not buy it. In fact, the reputation of "Kung Fu" is the same as that The "Westward Journey" is no different. Even if the big words inexplicably become classics in later days (we will talk about this below), they only rely on the two purchase points of nonsense and love, which themselves are not divorced from the nature of Xing Ye. The Tathagata Palm in "Kung Fu" and the True Tathagata Palm in "Journey to the West", both of which were beaten by people, and they felt remorse. Maybe Xing Ye doesn't believe that the sincerity of a small person can move the world and is difficult to shake, but it can move bigger bystanders. The so-called God does not deceive good people, this theme has always been a kind of thought that has been nakedly expressed in Hong Kong movies. This is the case in a series of movies such as "Golden Rooster" and "The Thief of the Years". Maybe this is the so-called Hong Kong spirit, but it is A visceral optimism and poise. Zhou Xingchi, a Hong Kong filmmaker, is no exception, but Xing Ye has always tried his best to express negative forces. The villains in his films have always been powerful with one hand covering the sky. In front of Xing Ye, the enemy can only cover the sky and cover the sky. The day can be called an enemy, and only after crossing such a high mountain can the greatness and optimism of the little man be brought out.
Just unyielding and optimistic little characters and seemingly powerful villains can't make a Stephen Chow-style movie. Little people do not intend to save the world, little people are selfish and cowardly, just like ourselves. They often need a driving force, and in most of Xingye's movies, the heroine and fate often assume such a role. It can be said that in the early Stephen Chow movies, the heroine exists as a vase that inspires the fighting spirit of small characters like 9527. In the later period, the star girls of Xing Ye basically existed in the form of reverse postings. The high goddess sacrificed her life to chase the diaosi man. This kind of plot has always been easy to poke the audience's G-spot (don't deny it, look at the Titanic); and the heroines of this period are basically actors with strong acting talents (For example, Zhao Wei, who refused to accept the argument, her performance in Painted Skin 2 can really beat Zhou Xun two streets). Shu Qi in this film is actually performing in her true colors. Looking at Shu Qi's films, as long as this sister has chosen the leading role in the film, basically the whole film will be performed by one person. In fact, this sister's performance of the silly big sister in this film is really remarkable, but it seems that once the actress is greedy for this kind of role, she seems to be able to perform at a super level. . . . Forget what I'm talking about. . .
The fate element in this film is not strong, but exists as a setting; it is worth mentioning that the fate that is the driving force of the protagonist's growth is contrary to the heroine, which is rarely seen in Xing Ye's films (The last one was a big talk about Journey to the West... Bricks flew over). It is estimated that it is still a setting made to express personal wishes. Unfortunately, Shu Qi's fireworks bloomed so that this contradiction did not become the focus of the climax of the movie, but was left to Sun Wukong. Personally, it’s better to be in a relationship with one’s soul and die than to be toyed by fate and unable to be together (am I blackened…), Shu Qi’s death avoided the biggest contradiction in the character’s growth in the article, you can imagine At that time, when the Supreme Treasure was released, it was so cruel and tangled. It seems that Master Xing decided to let everyone stay in a good mood and continue the Chinese New Year, so as not to drag the audience's heart to death.
Instead, the climax became the article war against Huang Bo. . . Well, I admit that this gimmick sounds interesting too. The movie has made a long enough preparation for this final battle, but in this section, because of the extremely entangled differences between the star and the screenwriter on the role of Sun Monkey, it did not well shape this wonderful villain, the screenwriter Jin He is the monkey in the eyes He is a down-to-earth Geler, a hero who has been entrusted with countless tragic halos, and in the eyes of Xing Ye, he has indeed become a lost person who has been transformed. A masked villain is not a pity.
Finally, I want to talk to myself about this movie that is driven by the wheel of fortune (although Master Volume always says that he always likes to talk about fate, destiny, and horses, but I think it should be true this time).
Just because "Journey to the West" can be watched without thinking, I don't think many people knew about the movie called "Journey to the West" at the earliest. This movie can be the source of content for the originator of domestic Internet culture, and it also completely sets the tone of nonsensical Internet culture in China. However, this movie was originally unknown in Hong Kong, but because of the piece called "The First "Second Intimate Contact" (intimacy or closeness? Teenagers~), told us the fairy tale that can really love you for 10,000 years. Since then, Dahua Westward Journey has almost become a variety of chat templates on major BBS, yes, At that time, BBS was the platform for chatting online dating, and QQ would not save friends after going offline. God said there should be light. . . However, in that era, the last swan song of the white-clothed fluttering era actually appeared on the domestic or budding Internet, and online literature, adhering to the spirit of elitism, became a rich page in the Internet bubble of that era. In the colorful history, Jin He Zai and his "Wukong Biography" appeared sooner or later. This novel, which borrowed the setting of the Westward Journey of Dahua, has no surprise to become a review on the Internet so far because of its good quality. A crystal wave in the long history of development, it became a benchmark work before the rapid fast-foodization of online literature. In those days, I touched countless Lolitas who are now adult mothers and middle-2 teenagers who have become fathers. . . (Okay, I'm talking nonsense again) By the way, where is the screenwriter of "Evil in the East and the Poison in the West", this middle-2 teenager who has served as Wong Kar Wai's queen screenwriter several times has become the godfather of countless literary and artistic youths. It really makes people feel that fate is so full of humor. . .
Today, the origins of these two legends have finally come together, how can I not refuse this movie, hahaha~
======================= Sister I am sleepy dividing line =====================
I love Stephen Chow's movies, I love his nonsense on the screen, I love his unsmiling off-screen, I love him Never let me down in the movie, I love him and never let a person with good intentions give up in the movie, I love him no matter what, let people fight rebelliously in the face of this world, and be grateful life.
Maybe it's because I'm over-hearted. Master Xing always solves all problems with an extraordinary move at the end of the movie. The unstoppable eighteen palms of subduing the dragon in Beggar, the golden cudgel that broke rocks at the end of "Journey to the West", the shocking kick in "Shaolin Football", and the big day like the second coming of the apostles in "Journey to the West" The Tathagata Mantra, and the palm technique that falls from the sky in "Kung Fu". The thick and suffocating darkness disappeared in the haze, and the sky was bright and Yuyu clarified. Maybe this is the world in Star Lord's heart.
I haven't written anything for a long time, my hands are clumsy, and I can't get rid of my bad habit of liking broken thoughts as always. I just finished watching the movie, and I was full of emotion when the love of my life sounded, but after I wrote the first word, I couldn't say more. After all, it's not just a movie, it doesn't matter whether it's remembrance, nostalgia, hope or anything else, what matters is the life after the movie, isn't it?
Since it is destined to not be found, it is better to turn your head and move on. When you hear the song you love in your life, you are full of emotion but you can't cry anymore. You can only smile helplessly. This is the real life
