It is hard for us to imagine that in the film circle of the 1980s, the humble zombie film would become a blockbuster after years of accumulation, from the surprise and the sweetness of the box office brought by the first zombie film "Mr. Zombie" to the last The perfect curtain call of the zombie movie "Zombie", he will be accompanied by a bowl of glutinous rice and settle in the long river of the movie. Too many genre films will bury him, but it is undeniable that he has been deeply imprinted in our memory and hearts.
Director Mai Junlong. As for the labels, Fu Erdai, singer, director, actor, but I dare to guarantee that after watching this movie, you will find that Fu Erdai is the most inconspicuous of all his labels, and also, his talent is enough Let people ignore this most easily hacked label. (laughs) Back to the topic, as his Virgo, "Zombie" has some shortcomings, but we also saw a Hong Kong fan's most sincere tribute to an era. Not to mention the clever apprentice Qiu Sheng (Qian Xiaohao), Snakeskin's senior brother (Chen You), our captain (Lou Nanguang), and countless supporting characters, the opening song of this film alone makes us miss and miss it immensely. Sigh, I seem to remember the half-squinted view when I watched "Mr. Zombie" back then, the ghost brides were more naughty and naughty, and this version, I heard goodbye, Mai Junlong is using the first one. The tunes in zombie films want to say goodbye to this era: I know you are very reluctant, but ah, this era has been unable to breed zombie films, it is time to hit the road and give this once-popular genre a decent ending. Find these actors from the golden age of zombie films and say goodbye to everyone; let Qian Xiaohao play himself in the film, maybe his mood is like the sentence in the title:
Many people say that the plot of the movie is ridiculous. It turns out that life is more ridiculous than the movie.
Perhaps no one would have imagined that after Uncle Ying left, he would take away the glory of the zombie movie with him.
As for the style of the film, the director obviously has his own ideas. The style of slapsticking and laughing is a thing of the past, and the style that is cold and heavy with a little warmth is a boost. The addition of Takashi Shimizu, one of the producers, makes the picture look like a lingering Japanese horror movie atmosphere. The blue, gray, white, black and extreme red are reminiscent of the Italian cult film director Dario. -Agento's "The Storm", and Weng Ziguang, one of the screenwriters, is conveying the coldest reality to us. Although there are hints in the movie that the ending of the story is already true, the handling of the ending makes me feel more like It was a punch on the cotton, the feeling of powerlessness and ridicule, Qian Xiaohao chose to have a dream that never had to wake up. And Mak Junlong is very clever to integrate the elements of the Japanese ghost movie into the movie (this scene reminded me of "The Shining" for a time); this is undoubtedly a big injection of new blood into the zombie movie of the last era. If you play it well, it will give people a refreshing feeling. If you screw it up, it will be a hodgepodge of unknown reasons. Fortunately, Mai Dao can justify it, and there is a scene of resurrecting the dead, which is unexpected and reasonable. There are so many scenes that are dramatic and beautiful, such as the two sisters climbing the wall like a gymnast; the scene of the ghost soldier borrowing the strange beauty; and the final scene of Qian Xiaohao and the zombie battle, only the director and him The team is working hard on how to make this film, rather than blindly frying the cold rice. The end of the fried rice can only accelerate the decline of the zombie movie. Ancient and modern, all over the world, any good tribute film must be an innovation of the previous work or a tribute or memory under the premise of a high level. Compared with the previous work, the new work that incorporates its own ideas only needs to be touched in a very subtle place, and the audience will understand it. This kind of ingenious tribute is well reflected in this film: also I remember that when I was a kid watching a zombie movie, I would unconsciously close my breath with Uncle Ying and the others when you saw this scene, don’t deny it, you must have stopped breathing for a while. The feeling of watching a zombie movie came to my mind, It's the zombie movie we are familiar with, but it's time for him to quit. In the movie, Uncle Ninth wants to make a real zombie, Aunt Mei takes care of the zombies desperately, and Qian Xiaohao's lonely life can only be comforted in zombie movies. Off-screen, we also want to recreate the style of that golden age. , these are our obsessions, and the director has refined a film that can draw a perfect end to the era of zombies. In addition, Mak Junlong revealed several details in the interview: In order to help Qian Xiaohao find a state of depression, after he slept for 2 hours, someone would call him to wake him up and chat very much. The clock goes back to sleep; the daily diet is also simple. In this state, people quickly fall into a state of chaotic melancholy. The script has been revised three times before and after, and four tall ghost soldiers quietly appeared in the long and dark corridor. This ghostly and majestic play was originally written for Xu Guanying and Lou Nanguang. It's a pity that Xu Guanying didn't wait, and we couldn't get a glimpse of his style.
Zombies Zombies, dead but not stiff, with obsessions in their hearts, are immortal for thousands of years. Thanks to the director, for the last elegy for the zombie film.
