Oh shit! I want to go back to the 80s! ! ! ! !

I was dumbfounded after watching this short film, the annual short film of fanaticism. Why does this director have such a big brain? The film is full of stuff labeled 80s: arcade games, kung fu, dinosaurs, awesome electronic music rock music, robots, Viking pirates, how to train the dragon female warrior, variants Rhino man. The director is awesome. He uses other people's money to make movies, and he has a lot of fun with self-directing and acting. You can also play your favorite things and have fun! The first time I saw the poster, I thought of Star Wars. Director, are you sure that you are not shooting Star Wars? Ha ha!

In these 30 minutes, you can see Hitler transforming into a Tsundere Kung Fu champion, speaking Asan English, dinosaurs and eagles selling cute and playing, live-action arcade fighting scenes reappearing again, and the police have traveled to the Viking era to send a phone call to how to train the dragon female warrior. , After sending the phone, don’t forget to come to Tang Bohu’s serious advertising promotion, different time and space through the phone shootout, the protagonist holds a broken arm when the wings are in the air and can fly, nostalgic old school gangsters go to the street and hold the tape recorder. There is no dancing, the random wall of the dimension, the splashing ketchup, the game where two people meet, one directly hangs up the other directly to the road of revenge, Tyrannosaurus cannibalism pays tribute to the Jurassic The park and the ending are also bad guys in animation style. I will definitely be back. This animation hasn’t finished waiting for the sequel.

The video-tape-style picture quality and the cool electronic music of the 80s make people tremble and sway unconsciously. The screen is full of colorful animations and arcade games. It reminds me unconsciously of the Jackie Chan endorsed by my childhood. Game console, meet up with two or three partners, and start a few games of Street Fighter, Contra, Mortal Kombat, and Super Mario in our house. Some people say that this film is bad, there is no style, and various elements are mixed and mixed. I think that the so-called no style is precisely its style, and it is bad and tasteful! It sucks and looks good! Rather than saying that this is a short film in the style of the 80s, it is better to say that this short film is full of elements that are unique to the 80s. The nostalgia for the 80s is the biggest resonance for people who like this film, because the unscrupulous and unrestrained images in the short film can remind us of the memories of our childhood.

If the director is playing pure nostalgia, then he did it, he succeeded.
