"Zombie" is an extremely depressing and gloomy film. Many uncle Ying fans have said that this film is bad or not. I think if you look at it from the perspective of zombie films, it subverts all Hong Kong-style zombie films. Horror-comedy style, I can't see a single point of laughter in the whole film, there is no funnyness of the decent Tianshi and the mischievousness of the protagonist, there is no stupidity of the villain and the humanization of the zombie boss, the decent Tianshi and the protagonist are gone before the decisive battle Optimism and self-confidence, the female ghost lost her charming appearance and intoxicating softness, and the children under the claws of the zombies were no longer saved from danger. All ideal values suddenly returned to cruel reality.
The whole film is different from the humorous and relaxed style of traditional Hong Kong zombie films, which is very depressing and sad. The duel section also had the tragic and tragic "Zombie Age". From the appearance of photos of the late Jiu Shu (Lin Zhengying) and Ah Ying (Xu Guanying), the tone was destined to be heavy. The out-of-date ghost movie actor, the desolate last-generation celestial master, the dying warlock, the elderly and demented old man... Even the always-disgusting living treasure building Nanguang had to hide in the crumbling building this time, and the dilapidated costumes , yellowed photos...everywhere is desolate. This heaviness is not so much to set off the horror atmosphere, but more of a mourning for the dying zombie movie.
The audience was pleasantly surprised to see one after another familiar old faces, and then they were saddened by their down and down situation in the film. Perhaps it was an insinuation of their reality, and they dared not think about it. Anyway, that golden age is over.
In my own opinion, in the battle against zombies, the Taoist priest had a five-element magic weapon that could defy the sky. At the last moment, he achieved a reversal and eliminated the zombies, but that period happened when time was still, and the movie was not enough. There is a magic tool (roulette) to open, and finally there should be a process of closing the magic tool (roulette). In fact, everyone has a hero complex. In the real society, they may only be small people, but there are heroes who sacrifice their lives. Doctrine, even if it only exists in ordinary bodies, the same is true for the male protagonist. He used his own death to save one misfortune after another, but he sacrificed himself in the end, because everything exists in conservation, or reincarnation. Nature has its own laws, and living in this world cannot change its laws. If you gain something, you have to lose something. The ending can be understood as three: imagination, reincarnation, and parallel world. This movie is an open ending, and each ending leaves a little clue for you to discover. Basically you can look at it several times to find out the answer to the different endings. In fact, the same is true of our world itself. Maybe the world after we die will be the same as the male protagonist. Suddenly, it is impossible to distinguish between reality and imagination. I don’t know which is true and which is false. .
I think this is a samsara, just like that magic weapon, it is starting another samsara, in another samsara everything is a beautiful existence, obsessions are born out of emotions, maybe they will be released because of emotions, an obsessional The demise is accompanied by the rebirth of another obsession, one after another, endlessly reciprocating, so there is no end at all, there is just a cycle of reincarnation and another; I feel there are signs of reincarnation and parallel worlds, of course this Just personal opinion.
No more zombies. . This is the end of the old zombie era.
The end of the film is like a knife in the heart, which makes people feel a kind of severe pain. Has everything that ever existed never existed? But it is so real that there is no way to erase it from my heart. I can only say that the dreamy past can only be hidden in my heart...
