From the establishment of the project to the trailer to the release of the word-of-mouth in Laomei, I have been following it for a long time, but the Celestial Dynasty has not been released. I just saw that there are resources, and I rushed to watch it overnight on the first day. The experience is still very cool.
After watching this film, I always feel a little bit of a cult action movie feeling.
From deliberately messy and fast editing, the male protagonist's broken mouth kept saying a lot of words, to the dazzling fights, car chases, explosions, and gunfights. It is to stuff as much information as possible in a very short period of time, whether it is useful and useless sound, images or plot-related exciting and bloody, etc., etc., without giving the audience a clear idea of what this is. What's going on, it will be dragged by the film into one scene after another, making the whole movie seem to be in a very chaotic, very, very rushed tense atmosphere.
Aside from the feelings that can be seen directly by the senses, from the content of the plot, from several protagonists to supporting roles, it is found that everyone in it is a little neurotic and not normal. The male protagonist can see from the information at the beginning that he is not a normal person. From the broken thoughts and mania shown in the film, the female protagonist has an extremely irritable attitude towards life and her family. Damn it, even the villain army is to be put down first, regardless of the masses, passers-by or the enemy. The direct gunpowder smell of the male protagonist and the villain is also particularly strong, which arouses emotions. Tou Tie will never be cowardly. The Overwatch team and the Indonesian death squad are also unrestricted like crazy, without any rules or with their own values.
All of the above combine to make the film look like it's on drugs from start to finish, neurotic characters, crazy behavior, and extremely messy editing, non-stop lines and explosions, from start to finish. There is no need to carefully study whether the behavior, motivation, action scenes, etc. are reasonable, as long as you follow the director's original intention and go all the way.
In fact, I think that in this film, I can see the editing of The Bourne, all kinds of hand-held photography with shaking lenses, like a chaotic scene that turns into darkness, the neurotic characters in the killer's bodyguard, and the raid type. The violence and gore characteristic of Indonesian films incorporates elements from many of today's action films.
In fact, there are still some shortcomings, so I won't go into details, but after all, this movie has done it. The director and actors have successfully integrated various features and elements of the current action movie, and then made a highly completed action. Cool piece.
4.5 stars/5 stars. After all, I like the movies mentioned above very much, and there is no reason not to love this movie.
