So have you ever eaten scrambled eggs with curry tomatoes?
Undoubtedly, the "Moonlight Bazaar to China" we are going to talk about today belongs to such a strange combination, a film about Chinese themes jointly produced by the United States and India. If your mind is active enough, you can also think of the relationship and situation between the Three Kingdoms...
The story is so old-fashioned that even a grandmother can kick a wonderful roundhouse kick, a village has been bullied by a man named Hojo, They believe that only the reincarnation of the hero Liu Sheng can save the village... So, very illogical, two Chinese peasants came to Delhi and accidentally discovered the reincarnation of the hero Liu Sheng, who is the protagonist - a Stephen Chow movie-type haunt people. The next story can be drawn directly without thinking about it. A scumbag made a lot of jokes in China, from not knowing kung fu to becoming a kung fu master, saving the village, and then harvesting love... bingo! This is how it happened.
While you are still shocked why there is such a classic story, the director of this film has already used unqualified storyboards to tell you his immaturity. As a comedy film, if even the lens connection is not smooth, we will How can you laugh? At the same time, grotesque figures with schizophrenia-like personalities rushed up, occupying the entire screen for two hours. It is an irresponsible performance of the screenwriter to push the complex and uncomplicated character backgrounds to the audience. And it can be clearly seen that when the screenwriter designs the background of the characters, it is obviously a top-down design, that is, there is a main story line first, and then the background of the characters is developed, and the background of the characters completely serves the story.
When I was watching the film before, I was looking forward to it, because those parodies of Chinese movies, such as "Kung Fu" and "Golden Armor", turned out to be the same. Not scattered in the film, but concentrated in a song and dance of about 5 minutes. Speaking of singing and dancing, in fact, the singing and dancing elements of this film are relatively small, and there is no such situation as Indian movies that sing and dance at every turn. But the songs and dances in it are very mediocre, with no new ideas and features, and they don't have a narrative function (then why are your directors shooting songs and dances?). Here, I have to mention "Bollywood's Impossible Mission" (Main Hoon Na). The song and dance sections in this action and song and dance movie are really surprising. The combination of big scenes and long shots makes you I have to admire the good fortune of Indians in musicals.
But that's not to say the film is useless, I think Lau Ka Fai (the white-browed Taoist priest in Kill Bill) played very well; also, the music of the film is good, no, it should be said to be excellent.
There is another such "flattering" movie, which is the Finnish movie "Jadesoturi" (Jadesoturi) starred by Zhang Jing. It was just because there was a problem with the rhythm, so many audiences, including me, were watching. Shadow fell asleep.
★★☆
"The old-fashioned story, inexplicable characters are nothing, and the most frightening thing is that the movie is two and a half hours long! It is an extreme test for your endurance. If it is not necessary, don't watch it, watch it Just watch the trailer."
