The length of the film is a little more than 2 hours, but the editing rhythm is relatively fast and there are many characters, so it does not feel very long. I might have been a few minutes late to enter the venue, and I thought it was playing a trailer, because the switching rhythm of the scenes in the film was relatively fast, much like the editing method of trailers for foreign blockbusters.
I saw the propaganda before this film and said that there were more than ten movie stars gathered? After watching the movie, my feeling is that there are indeed many stars, but everyone's role is very small, similar to the founding of a country, so there is not much room for everyone to play. The one with the most scenes is Wang Xueqi. Wang Xueqi made his debut very early. The first film I saw of him was in the fifth-generation film. He played a Red Army soldier. The specific name of the film can no longer be remembered. In recent years, Wang Xueqi has become more and more popular as he gets older and shines brightly. It can also be regarded as a late bloomer. Every time I watch a Hong Kong star perform a revolutionary party, I find it a little funny, especially that mandarin with a Hong Kong-Taiwan accent, this time Leung Ka Fai plays a revolutionary party. Nicholas Tse played a loyal coachman who also played a lot of scenes, but the performance was very forceful and the performance traces were more obvious. When the two first appeared on the big screen, Battelle, as soon as Bartelle appeared, what appeared in my mind was Cheng Kui'an. I felt that Bartell played a role similar to Cheng Kui'an, with developed limbs and a simple mind, a very interesting character. Li Yuchun's performance can't be said to be a performance. Especially the part of seeing his father's body, the sadness is very reluctant, and it seems that he can't mobilize his feelings. Just like Sun Honglei's performance in Three Shots, it's okay to replace it with a robot.
Let's talk about the plot design. Many scenes, the director is too arbitrary, and the subjectivity is too strong. Obviously the revolutionary party is very weak, but it can be one foot high and one foot high. For example, Wang Fuming, played by Battelle, was stabbed to death by a random knife, and he struggled to reach the place again to cover everyone's escape. For example, outside the grandmother's house, Dawn held an iron fan and was alone. The performance is the scene of "one husband is in charge, ten thousand people are not open", which feels quite absurd. This scene caused laughter in the audience. It's really funny, and one person actually killed all the Qing killers. The general who forced Hu Jun to play had to take action himself. For example, the general of the Qing court played by Hu Jun actually showed mercy, and did not kill the coachman played by Nicholas Tse, but let him hold his thigh and let him delay the time. Moreover, these righteous men can be said to be a gang of rabble, and they can actually compete with the well-trained killer soldiers of the Qing court. In short, it is an incredible plot design. The ins and outs of the characters are also unclear. What is particularly cliché is that before the death of several righteous people, they all saw their lovers in their imaginations. Donnie Yen saw his ex-wife Bingbing and children, and Li Jiaxin saw Li Jiaxin.
The dialogue and plot design are also very sensational. Sometimes I feel that the writers and directors would like to run out and cry for you to see, which led to some tragic and tear-jerking things, but instead caused the audience to burst into laughter. The fight scenes that the audience was particularly looking forward to were not so brilliant. They all used fast editing, similar to the action scenes in Wong Kar Wai's movies, and the fights were no longer exciting. As a female audience, I don't like that kind of bloody, especially cruel scenes. Personally, I still like John Woo in action movies, such as the true character of the hero, such as the two heroes.
Personally, it's not as good-looking as three guns, at least you can have fun. The siege of the city in October is really not very beautiful. Although there are many stars, in the end, the beauty Li Jiaxin was used to play the alluring beauty who only showed one side. But it still feels underwhelming.
