As a two-and-a-half-hour film, the plot is actually very simple, and most of it was explained within the first half hour. What follows is endless wrangling, lyricism, naughty love, and dizzying chaotic fights.
The art can be seen to be very attentive, the scene is beautiful, the lighting is professional, and the shape is unique. But in the face of inexplicable drag scenes (for example, the part where the horse was released did not help the plot, and the villains did not delay doing business because of chasing the horse at all) and the surprising performance was still a disadvantage.
In a nutshell, the feeling that gives me is -
advantages: the art and modeling are attentive, the story is clearly told (although the plot is not complicated), and the successful emotional sensation of the horse.
Disadvantages: The characters' emotions have no reason, everyone is like a psychopath who can break out at any time. In the plot, the drama is serious, and there are even unnecessary sex scenes to reduce the force, resulting in the loss of explosive power in the final decisive battle. The lines are too bad, and they have suffered a lot of old actors.
Speaking of his favorite characters, punk singer Guageluo performed well and styled well, but he was scrapped before he could break out. And the second senior brother played by Liming is purely a gentle favor, but he was tepid all the way to the end, neither turning nor breaking out, it was really boring. Of course, the male protagonist (the old fifth) is more boring, and he is a person with a lower sense of existence than Xinbaji.
I don't know in what state it was filmed, but it's a bit unbelievable.
PS theme song never tire of listening, as expected of Kenji Kawai.
