This story called "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate" is in the same vein as "New Dragon Gate Inn". Thousands of threads gather in the "Dragon Gate Inn" between the deserts, and the story is about to unfold. The bright line is still the struggle between the knights in the rivers and lakes and the traitor in the imperial court, and the dark line is the emotional entanglement between Zhao Huai'an and Ling Yanqiu who are in love but not seeing each other, and are ashamed to talk about it. Dragon slayer is a hero with courage and courage, and Yitianjian has a long relationship with his daughter. In the shadow of the sword, light and sword, it is the most charming place in the rivers and lakes.
However, although I fully think this is a good film, when I write a film review for it, what I want to say most is the doubts and regrets in the film. Maybe this is because of the deep love and hatred.
Zhao Huai'an is not far from the pronunciation of Zhou Huai'an in "New Dragon Inn", indicating that these are two similar characters. As the male lead in a group-like martial arts film, these two characters are a bit facial, and they are love and justice. Sailor Moon, oh no, is the incarnation of justice and courage, also known as the "Gao Daquan" in legend. The difference is that Zhou Huai'an is first in the officialdom and then in the rivers and lakes. He is not a typical warrior in the rivers and lakes. A sword in an umbrella shows that he has a city government and can endure humiliation, and a needle is hidden in the cotton. Zhao Huai'an was a little more aggressive. When he appeared on the stage, he was like a cat playing with a mouse. First, he disabled the Dongchang Shuoshu and then slapped his head. Then he recklessly went straight to the Xichang ship like a moth to the fire, killing his brother. Lost life. In general, Zhao Huai'an's character is a little more facial and his kung fu is a little higher, and it is indeed suitable for Jet Li to play.
Ling Yanqiu disappeared Jin Xiangyu, Qiu Moyan disappeared. The first heroine in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is Ling Yanqiu. It can be seen that the director also understands that Zhou Xun is still a little tender if he wants to surpass Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung. In fact, I still like Zhou Xun very much, but in this film Zhou Xun's Ling Yanqiu is really flat (I'm not talking about the figure), it shows more of a kind of "cold", like a modern petty bourgeoisie, with serious Jianghu temperament insufficient. Although he was obsessed with looking for Zhao Huai'an, the love scene with Jet Li was never able to spark. "That's it", one can't help but miss the coquettish gold inlaid jade from the previous proprietress of the Dragon Gate Inn even more.
Yu Huatian and Fengli Dao Chen Kun play two roles, which can be said to be the biggest highlight of the film. Let's first look at Yu Huatian, the demonic West Factory supervisor, who amazes all beings as soon as he appears on the stage: he goes straight to the East Factory and doesn't move. Without moving his eyes, he pierced the floor with his unfathomable internal strength, splashed stones, beat cattle across the mountains, and crossed the East Factory Supervisor Wu Sha to smash the Buddha statue behind him; Both flattering and majestic itching for the imperial concubine, pretending to be tender like water, the good season is like a dream, attracting countless female nympho drools, and the arrogant is not envious. Slowly arranging the net of heaven and earth, killing one person and wounding one person, and disdainfully throwing out the evaluation of Zhao Huai'an played by Jet Li as "courageous and foolhardy"; finally, the mystery is revealed, and it is even more obvious that he has foresight, decisive victory thousands of miles, and wisdom and approach to the demon. It's a pity, it's a pity, Yuhuatian, the name of how wet is a frustrated person in the end.
Look at the lithe gangster Li Dao, who hides behind Gu Shaotang (Brother Chun!) and walks into the inn. Facing the teasing of the girls of different races, he agrees. Gu Shaotang, who wanted to find treasures and make a fortune, when the storm came, he was most concerned about not treasure but Gu Shaotang; finally, he made the ambition to become a high official, abandoned Gu Shaotang, entered the capital, poisoned Concubine Wan, and got his wish. The hidden weapons and loose skills all over his body show that he is a small person, but he has a shrewd scheming (this is evident from the details of guessing the code) and an emotional side. Yuhuatian and Fenglidao, static and moving, one demon and one ruffian, stirred up the whole screen.
Brother Chun and Gui Lunmei are two barely qualified vases. You don't have to be pretty to be called a vase. Actors who lack acting skills but can bring box office appeal or attract topics can be called vase. Brother Chun's Gu Shaotang, whose mantra is "Only talk about business, not about feelings", but he is typically duplicitous, and finally ignores the treasure and chooses to stick to his feelings in the desert. It's a pity that most people (including me) have too much prejudice against Brother Chun. As soon as they see her on the screen, they have a feeling of "I'm watching a movie, it's just a movie", and completely lost the 3D tape. The immersiveness and sense of identity that come here shows that you must pay attention when choosing roles; Gui Lunmei's interracial girl is cuter than Brother Chun. The person he loves doesn't love himself, and he still chooses to go with him... Going to the bustling capital, although not going to a sea of swords and flames, still shows his true temperament.
Twenty years ago, the West Factory Squad, Jia Gonggong, the head of the East Factory in "New Dragon Gate Inn", looked at the wolf and almost wiped out a group of rebels in the Dragon Gate Inn. Twenty years later, although no one in the West Factory team can match the father-in-law Jia played by Liu Xun, all of them have personalities, and they once again successfully grabbed the role of positive characters. Fan Shaohuang's big head has one eye, a mask, and uses two swords. He has a very high force value and can easily kill Zhao Huai'an's accomplices. The third gear is bald and sharp-eyed, and when he is not fighting, he is full of ruthlessness... When the second gear is fooled and throws out the phrase "A for your ancestors!" It can be funny, the West Factory team is really powerful!
Some of the lines and plots I imagined will focus on a few places in the film that I think are inappropriate, as well as the revisions I imagined
. As we all know, in a very short period of time, human IQ is a stable value. It can be seen from Zhao Huai'an's clever plan that a pair of cloth shoes broke the ambush in the West Factory and finally arranged the plan. So how could such a person make such a foolhardy act? Apparently this is where the movie fights for the sake of fighting. Modification opinion: Need to add his willingness to go (such as a certain person, or key evidence or something on the big ship, they had to find it, and it was found by the West Factory and had to be beaten)
Zhao Huai'an said to Yu Huatian, "If you are a hero, just follow me to the tornado." He got rid of it. The other party was the superintendent of the West Factory, who was a great villain with high martial arts skills, like flowers and jade, and a habit of cleanliness. Why should he accompany you to die in the storm? But... in the end, the two really fought in a storm! Like the previous one, this is obviously a 3D setting for 3D's sake. Zhao Huai'an used the unique Saint Seiya "Nebula Chain" to compete with Yuhuatian's flying sword in the storm. Although the visual effects are gorgeous, the characters and the background are obviously difficult to integrate. , Tsui Hark's arrangement may be a little thankless. If you have to fight, if you ask me to write my lines, I should say it like this:
Zhao Huai'an (with his hands behind his back, Ling Ran looks at Yu Huatian): The storm is coming, no matter how high your martial arts are, you can't match it. You killed so many people, after all There is no escape from death
. Yu Huatian (looking at his sword, not Zhao Huai'an, said slowly): How much do I kill? It seems that there is one less to kill - if you want to die, you will die first! (The speed of speech suddenly increases, and he raises his sword and stabs)
After resisting a few moves, Zhao Huai'an pounces on the tornado not far away (deliberately leads the rain and Huatian to follow, and wants to be buried with him in the yellow sand)...
If it is so neat, First, it can reflect Zhao Huai'an's righteousness and determination to perish with the devil; second, it can express Yuhuatian's anger and devastation; third, don't you think that such a dialogue faintly reveals the mutual sympathy among the masters; fourth, although the two Everyone entered the tornado with the heart of death, but no one died after a fight, which proved the scientific truth of "the wind in the center of the storm is the smallest", by the way, popular science hahahaha.
The final reversal of the palace maid was not enough, it was too abrupt, and the details indicating the identity of the palace maid should be slightly enlarged (this is indeed a technical task, the details are too subtle and seem abrupt, and it is too obvious and like to treat the audience as a fool, which is equivalent to telling the answer in advance). If the light reversal is abrupt, I will not force it. The key is that the palace maid turns around and then turns around, and actually said to Zhao Huai'an, "I'm here to kill you, a heartless man for Ling Yanqiu!" Are you single because you hate seeing mandarin ducks? Or really sparked a spark with Ling Nuxia? First stab Ling Yanqiu to death, and then kill Zhao Huai'an, a heartless man. This episode is too much like an urban ethics drama about killing a spouse and destroying a mistress. I understand that Tsui Hark doesn't want to make the actors fake, and wants to make the bad guys not so thorough, but it's really hard for the audience to accept it like this.
The last thing is wrong, in the ending. Maybe Tsui Hark wanted to echo the ending of the new Dragon Gate Inn: Jin Xiangyu said, "Let's go to Zhou Huai'an", then she burned the inn and went to Zhou Huai'an. In the Dragon Gate Flying Armor, the ending was changed to Zhao Huai'an looking for Ling Yanqiu, and Brother Chun, holding a token of love, waited for them to come back in the desert. Ling Yanqiu was hit by so many knives and did not die, leaving a bright tail, but lost the tragic and desolate, such a grand ending cannot be meaningful.
Tucao Although this is a martial arts movie that makes me emotionally excited, it does not prevent me from writing down the many inaccuracies seriously, and at the same time it does not prevent me from complaining. Before talking about serious business or after talking about serious business, I wrote it. The style pursued by things. Some people say that the story of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is too simple, and the stories of many good movies are very simple, "The Shawshank Redemption" - Gao Shuaifu was wronged first and then escaped from prison; "Spirited Away" - Little Lolita in Wonderland ; "Sunny Days" - adolescence restlessness in the 1960s. I think the story of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is indeed very simple. I can sing the whole story with two voices of "Rap Mask":
the red-faced Zhao Huai'an~ The governor who can fight the white-faced governor and the green-faced Chung~ The yellow-faced wind knife~ The black-faced Tatar is called Chacha~ ~
The beautiful Ling Yanqiu~ The insidious court lady who can ride horses, the darts all over the sky~ Treasures all over the ground~ The wind and sand are full of beautiful Jiajia~ ~
PS|: I wrote that I think The ending is inappropriate and should be changed to Ling Yanqiu's death and Zhao Huaian's sadness. At this time, I am very guilty, because it is Christmas Eve, the whole Luoyang is lively and lively, but no one is with me for the festival. I am here to imagine a tragic ending. I can't see the good of others, and the psychology of hitting the mandarin ducks is in it.
In fact, I was still worried about Tsui Hark until I sat in the movie theater. With the chief executive of Optoelectronics in charge, the mainland film and television industry is a sinkhole, and too many Hong Kong directors have stumbled here. From Yuan Heping's "Su Qi'er", Liu Zhenwei's "Yueguang Treasure Box", to Cheng Xiaodong's "Legend of the White Snake", famous directors with splendid résumés are here to present a series of bad co-production classics, which are a waste of time to watch on the computer. However, after watching "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", I would like to say:
thank you Da Mo, thank Wuxia, and thank Tsui Hark.
