A classic traditional Hong Kong-style horror film, rich in Hong Kong-style Chinese elements: zombies, Taoist priests, peach wood swords, instruments, copper coins, five elements, etc. Under the wonderful performance, there is a script that is not novel. Because people can't get rid of the resentment of life and death, they lead to the tragedy of no survivors, but this is obviously not what this film wants to express.
With the decline of zombie films, it is difficult for the actors to make a living. What follows is the reality of separation of wives and children. The woman experienced the tragic death and mental disorder of almost everyone in the family, and she wandered with her children all day long. These are the two dark lines that have been accumulating for a long time. They converged at the moment when the male protagonist moved into the accident room, and the fuse was the old man's unfortunate fall, which was used by the Taoist monks who practiced evil methods. Finally, a zombie was created, which caused everyone of death. This is a not too bizarre story, everyone's resentment is well-founded, and the birth of ghosts and zombies is not unexpected. There is only one accident, the Taoist priest. With the help of Ayou, the male protagonist finally killed the zombie. Why do you say that Ayou was an accident, just because of his existence. In a large number of foreign horror films, the plot after the appearance of ghosts is ghosts chasing ordinary people and fleeing, the disappearance of ghosts is with the resolution of the incident or the recovery of the spirit, and there is rarely a character who can fight against ghosts to promote the resolution of the incident. But different from traditional Chinese zombie films, the appearance of ghosts often implies the existence of a positive character who can fight against the darkness. The disappearance of ghosts is also the fuel of positive characters, and I was surprised by the appearance of Ayou, and inadvertently put Western style The plot of the horror film was substituted in advance, and thinking about it, there have been many years without a wonderful traditional Chinese horror film. The weakening of zombie films is what this film wants to express and miss.
As a zombie movie actor, the actor's costume is outdated. As a Taoist priest, Ayou's magic weapon is covered in dust. Ayou is right. Where are there zombies now? The existence of the male protagonist is a denial of Ayou. The main actor is a play, which is fake, and A You is a real Taoist priest, so this story is a paradox at the beginning. Under this paradox, the heroine is mentally ill, the little boy is withdrawn and indifferent, Aunt Mei can't let go of her lost wife, the security guard was beaten to death due to the investigation, the ghost of 2442 is still alive, the Taoist priest A Jiu practices sorcery, and A You carries glutinous rice in his pocket to inherit the Tao. Every night, Yin soldiers borrowed the way, and the whole building was gloomy. But what is reality? At the end of the film, it is also very clear that the heroine and the child may indeed have a family breakdown, but they are still strong. The whole building is full of fireworks, and there are no ghosts and zombies. This is the reality. People's tolerance for grief is often beyond imagination. Although we can also understand the story of fighting zombies as the inner world, it is the male protagonist who defeats the zombies for everyone to get. Relief, but the time when the male protagonist hangs makes the whole before the end can only happen in a parallel world, and in this real world, only the male protagonist can't bear the grief of life, hangs himself, and really died, Ayou is a cook , There is no way to get back to the sky, Ajiu is a forensic doctor, and sent the male protagonist on the last journey. The son has grown from a little boy in the male protagonist's image to an adult. I don't know how many years the lonely life and the old mobile phone have accompanied the male protagonist.
The zombie movie is just like its actor and protagonist, as old and nostalgic. In the past, it has inherited Lin Zhengying's zombie movie, only repeating the old script, guarding the boring action scenes of Taoist priests fighting zombies, and finally in the movie. Under the impact of Western-style horror films, there is no place to survive, or there are some successors who seek the law and the West, and ultimately they are nondescript. What is embarrassing is that Taoist fighting zombies is an obvious fictional product in such a materialistic era, that is, "fake horror", while those western horror movies based on psychology and brain science have turned into "real horror". , With people's ever-deep thirst for truth, those romantic fictions with mysticism may only become outcasts in modern society, such as zombie movies, and most traditional Chinese culture. This is probably the law of the development of things, and there is nothing wrong with it, it is just embarrassing. The film may be justified in commemorating Lin Zhengying or criticizing the zombie film's lack of progress, but the tears of the times will forever drip into the dust with the fall of the best people.
When I was a child, I was always afraid of the dark and ghosts. When I grow up, I may no longer be afraid of the dark. I especially agree with the phrase "all fear comes from the lack of firepower". When we grow up, we may have greater strength, clearer mind or firmer courage, or we may substitute ourselves into the Taoist priest played by the omnipotent Lin Zhengying, but the reality cruelly tells us that there is no magic in the world. Boundless Taoist priests, but fortunately, people's acceptance of suffering may not be as low as in horror movies, and the supernatural powers generated by the accumulation of resentment may not be so many, but the human nature that all horror movies point to is terrifying, Just like the matches that Ah Jiu flicked at Ah You.
