Not just life, but also fish. The "fish raw" here is the life of a mermaid, not the raw fish to eat.
I deliberately chose the first "Mermaid" on the first day of the new year as a way to celebrate the new year. It's not as good as expected from watching the trailer, but it's not disappointing. It has a funny and nonsensical style, a combination of various familiar elements, and a strong Zhou Xingchi imprint. Compared with the stunning feeling of "Kung Fu", this time, there is no breakthrough.
The story of the mermaid has been interpreted many times since ancient times. The mermaid directed by Xing Ye is an environmental protection story with the appearance of a fish-man falling in love. The theme is very clear, and it doesn't need to think about it. "If there is not even a drop of clean water or clean air on the earth, what would you most want to do?"
The development of science and technology has accelerated the process of modernization, and ecology is compared with huge wealth. It's nothing, this is the status quo, everyone knows it, but as long as there is a little clean water and clean air on the earth, you will always be insensitive to the crisis, and the naive mermaid doesn't know it, even if there is a little bit of clean water on the earth. In the end, there is still a drop of clean water and clean air, which also requires wealth or power in exchange for it, and it is not at the disposal of ordinary people or fish.
In the movies, mermaids are generally very naive, thinking that by killing Liu Xuan, they can change back to the past. Even the wise old mermaid, who has lived for so many years, actually only knows the evil of human beings but does not understand human nature. Of course, there would be no such story if it were not naive. The clumsy beauty plan actually succeeded in the end, but the way of success was not the original assassination of Liu Xuan, but the transformation with love. As the mermaid grandma said, love can transcend all boundaries and rules.
Well, I believe it.
When it comes to love, it's really too weak. It's just that I just met, and I can't talk about understanding. I just love and propose. The progress of this plot is quite incredible for a businessman like Liu Xuan. If the second girl disgusts him, and the mermaid is just the opposite of the second girl, even if they get along for a short time, even if they relax and go crazy together, it is difficult to explain Liu Xuan's mental process, such as the line in the play, "We can't keep up. ." This young man who appeared in the image of an exaggerated upstart and a domineering president from the beginning, put on a mustache and pretended to be mature, and his clothes were shining like a star. In no time, he fell in love with a girl who was as simple as white paper, just because this person said he liked him, and he was different from other girls who liked his money?
So, why did the mermaid fall in love with Liu Xuan? There are many men in the world of mermaids. It is obvious that octopuses also have a good impression of mermaids. The same species should be a better breeding ground for emotional initiation. The contact in a short period of time is for the purpose of assassination. Liu Xuan is just Sending a bouquet of roses touched the heart of a mermaid?
The second woman's hatred was also inexplicable. It is said that such a beautiful CEO, who is so obsessed with money, cherishes what he can't get. Because he can't get Liu Xuan, he loves and hates, and that hatred can't reach to kill. The more logical result is to catch the merman alive. Scientific analysis, which is more in line with her pursuit of wealth. Obviously, her reaction in the play is too emotional, but if not, there is no way to reflect the hero's stalwart image. .
Well, in any case, I feel that the previous plot is not immersive, until the human beings aggressively surround and suppress the mermaid, one side is a modern weapon with strong lethality, and the other side is a mermaid who is confused and unable to parry. sentence. The ancient drama of the hero saving the beauty begins again. Liu Xuan, who was hit by the arrow, tried his best to throw the mermaid into the sea, giving her a life and a turning point in her life. This is the most touching scene in the play. At this point, the story is nearing its end.
After all, it is the Spring Festival, so the movie still has a bright ending, quiet, warm and warm, better than the story of the mermaid in the fairy tale, people and fish are in love with each other, and the sea is as calm and beautiful as ever.
After peeling off all kinds of funny shells, there is a full feeling in it. Ecology, environmental protection, peaceful coexistence, and common love for the earth, time is running out. "This whole ocean is mine." It's everyone's, not just human. This film is about the symbiosis of all things and the Buddha nature. You can see great mercy.
In the final analysis, this is a fairy tale that only adults can understand. However, understanding does not mean doing it. Some scenes are too bloody, which is actually not suitable for children.
For the beautiful dreams that always exist in my heart, for the faint sadness, and for Stephen Chow's unremitting efforts, I personally still like this film. Prepare to take the time to brush again, Cantonese version.
Let me talk about a few things that I like very much.
1. I like Tsui Hark's cameo. Although it is very short, it has a serious funny effect. The old monster Xu is really cool. As expected of our big water bottle!
2. Zhang Yuqi's image of the royal sister is actually quite in place - what I don't like is that the dubbing is too poor, and she plays in minutes.
3. The transformation of Deng Chao's image before and after, from all kinds of shiny to plain after faded, hairstyle, beard to clothing.
4. Lin Yun has very clear eyes and expression.
5. When I saw a mermaid's tail cut, my heart twitched. In the fairy tale of the mermaid, in order to get ashore, the little mermaid asked the witch to help him, so that the fish tail became legs.
There are still a few flaws:
1. Why can't the grandma mermaid take action at the beginning, and have to wait until the mermaids are slaughtered? There is no strong reason for this.
2. The high-pitched sound of the mermaid can shatter glass, and it should also cause harm to humans. Why not use such a powerful weapon? They have no other superpowers.
