---------- I
rushed to Hong Kong on the first weekend of the release, and I was delayed halfway through and I could only buy tickets for nearly zero points. After settling myself in the seats, looking back, the cinema is already filled with audiences.
I can't describe how excited I am. From knowing that Juno is preparing a new movie, to "Zombies" getting invitations from various film festivals, my expectations for it are getting higher and higher, and I hope it will be a good movie, But at the same time nervous about it.
Every fan hopes that their idol's music or movie will be a hit and a hit. Juno has gone out of his way in music in the past two years. Although it is a small audience, it has been well received, but as the first movie directed, it is still a nostalgic theme like zombies. Even the brainless fans will worry about the picky tastes of Hong Kong people and not sell nostalgic accounts.
Speaking of brainless fans, isn't the director a brainless fan of zombie movies? Juno once said that when he was a child, he didn't have much fun in Canada. He often went to the video store to rent discs and watch them with his brother. Among them, there were many ghost movies made in Hong Kong, and zombies were the essence of ghost movies at that time. Zombies dressed in Qing Dynasty costumes only jumped, while Taoist priests used glutinous rice and peach wood swords to hunt ghosts. Now, zombies in Hong Kong-made ghost films have basically disappeared, and the actors who once starred in zombie films are gradually being forgotten, and I still remember that the zombie Taoist priest Lin Zhengying starred in was bright-eyed and heroic.
The director used the word "obsession" to compose a story about the birth of a zombie. The obsession of Taoists lies in zombies, no matter if they are evil or evil, a life without zombies is meaningless to them. One cooks glutinous rice, the other helps people in the temple fortune-telling, but they are still full of attachments to zombies in their hearts. In the movie, Aunt Mei is obsessed with the "return" of her dead wife, removing all obstacles for the resurrection of the dead, and killing innocents, and it is these two obsessions that resurrect the zombies.
As one of the screenwriters, Juno must have done a very strict check on the plot (brain fans are exposed), but unfortunately Qian Xiaohao's story line is thin, and his acting skills are also "throat but not flesh", which makes people feel suffocated all the time. And the sequel at the end detracts from the plot of the film. To be honest, I still don't quite understand what the intention of the ending is. But Aunt Mei's story line is really wonderful. Needless to say, how good Bao Qijing's drama is. She cried and asked her wife why she didn't come back. Chen Youbai Huahua's long legs have blinded my eyes many times, and the Hong Kong-style foul language is also very enjoyable.
The special effects and soundtrack are very good. During the viewing process, I already felt Juno's attention to detail. Water droplets, smoke rings, glutinous rice, the moment the crystal ball shatters, every movement and stillness is seducing you. There are also traces of consideration in the composition of the picture: Hui Yinghong returns to the haunted house and leans on the wall, and the picture of the girl hanging herself is strange but beautiful.
As a general audience, perhaps there is room for improvement in many aspects of "Zombie", and perhaps we should have higher requirements for zombie films. But as the director's stubborn fan, when the three words "Mai Junlong" appeared at the end of the movie, I deeply felt that it was a very happy thing to fall in love with him, because when I recognized and loved his music, he did not Stopped and gave us an even bigger surprise.
