First, in terms of the storyline, Li Yutang started recruiting killers and dead soldiers to be cannon fodder for Sun Wen's arrival in Hong Kong. When Sun Wen arrived, these cannon fodders began to appear one by one, and then sacrificed one by one. The characters have nothing to do with the plot. Continuity, the feeling is that the first group of soldiers sacrificed, and the later soldiers began to prepare to sacrifice, and then they appeared. So when I saw them arriving at my grandmother's house, I couldn't help calling, where is the hero of the dawn, if he doesn't show up, there will be no role.
Second, Sun Wen's foreshadowing of the characters before his arrival in Hong Kong, the characters' own stories are too dramatic, but not real enough. For example, the character played by Donnie Yen was originally an alcoholic, but coincidentally, he was the ex-husband of Li Yutang's concubine (let alone Fan Bingbing's wife, how she married a well-known wife when she was pregnant with a child). Li family), but he is also a fighter with high martial arts. It would be acceptable to simply describe his transformation from an alcoholic into a cannon fodder sacrificed for the revolution, but the screenwriter has given the character such an identity, making his revolutionary actions very purposeless. Is it purely to let the children know that the father is him ?
There is also Dawn Hero, who is obviously tired of life and wants to die. Sun Wen was pulled to protect him. His purpose is very impure. I don't know what such a character has in expressing the theme of the movie. Or ask what is the theme of the movie? Does it mean that the lives of big men are more important, and anyone with a world-weary mentality or a pure, kind and moral person can be brought in to escort the leaders at any time and sacrifice their lives, even though they don’t even know what a revolution is.
Third, in terms of the acting skills of the actors, I feel that except for Zhang Jiahui, who is relatively normal, the performance of others is a bit over. Wang Xuexin is an acting school, but it gives the impression that he is not relaxed enough and has been tense. Nicholas Tse's acting skills have improved. It should be said that he performed well in the film, but he played the characters a bit too much. Originally, it was to create a simple, kind, and simple driver's imagination, but the result came out, no matter how I look at it. I think this driver is a little mentally handicapped.
Fourth, the film has many unreasonable plots. For example, Fan Bingbing asked his ex-husband Donnie Yen to protect Li Yutang, but Donnie Yen only decided to go the night before, and he didn't have any consultation with the group of killers beforehand. How could he get to the ambush scene accurately and successfully It has saved a lot of people.
Also, Sun Wen first arrived at the newspaper office of China Daily, and exchanged identities with Li Chongguang there. Li, as his stand-in, continued to run wildly on the road, walking on the way to see his grandmother, diverting the enemy's attention. But the newspaper office is a gathering place, and the previous paragraphs have been closed down, which means that it has attracted the attention of the government. Could it be that Hu Jun is so mentally retarded that he did not send people to continue to handle it, but used all his troops to block rickshaws. Besides, the revolutionary party is too careless. Diverting the enemy's attention is one thing, but protecting Sun Wen is the key. Sun Wen doesn't even have a bodyguard here, and it seems that there is only one secretary.
All in all, I don’t think so much about the film. I say it’s telling a story. The story has a lot of loopholes. Let’s say it’s a martial arts fight. Generous sacrifice, the characters' stories have no connection or coherence. As if these killers and dead men appeared for sacrifice.
