domestic martial arts movies, on the one hand, are declining, and on the other hand, they are innovating. What has declined is the old-style martial arts under the traditional framework mode, and what has been innovated is the new-style martial arts after breaking free from the shackles. At the same time, the audience is also in an extremely contradictory state of mind. On the one hand, they are nostalgic for traditional martial arts; This made the director who was originally sticking to the traditional martial arts position discouraged. Under the double lack of software and hardware, traditional martial arts are naturally thin. As a result, directors began to look for various breakthroughs on the road of new martial arts.
The group of people who were not optimistic about Feng Delun's leadership before, propaganda red flags, gongs and drums in the early stage, and slogans shouted louder than anyone else. This posture, I'm really afraid that it's something that won't rain after thunderstorms. But after watching the movie, I was really happy. A mixed-race martial arts that combines rock, punk, anime, and games. Wherever the plot is made up, it is extremely casual. If nothing else, just relying on this vigor, it is impossible for people to bear to pick on the thorns. It's purely a movie that amuses you, and it's quite commendable to spend so much thought on it, the pomp and pomp, and the unambiguous trilogy. Today's domestic films are immersed in the idea of quick success, and the creator's attitude is more important than anything else.
Strictly speaking, "Tai Chi 1: From Scratch" is not a martial arts. The "mixed blood" here is too much and too mixed, and it is inevitable to overwhelm the guest, and a qualitative change has taken place. It's just a grassroots hero development drama in the name of Tai Chi. If this is all martial arts, then congratulations DreamWorks will also make martial arts, "Kung Fu Panda".
Starting from subtitles and animations, the stylization of the film is particularly strong. It is packaged with RPG games and presents a variety of game elements such as location markers, levels, BOSS, health bars, and KO. Every time the fight is in full swing, there are rock and roll collocations. In all fairness, it is really quite ironic. The giant steam demolition machine that appeared was sharp and angular, and the realism was no worse than the special effects of Hollywood. This is reminiscent of the mecha in "Future Police" and "Robot", which is really outrageous. Of course, these strange forces in the film are stylized for the sake of stylization, and there is no reason for their presence or absence. Zack Snyder's punk-steam visual work "Zhubian", doesn't it look like it, it's just for fun.
As a rookie Yuan Xiaochao, Feng Delun's portrayal of him is somewhat weak, which is the most obvious shortcoming of the film. From idiot to master, that's the theme, just don't really make people into idiots. Originally, the sentence "what is the situation" is quite loving, but if there is no other trick, it is really pale. One part is fine, if all three are like this, it will definitely be annoying. Moe is just a condiment, not the main ingredient. The female No. 1 Angelababy, I personally think that the shape is not bad, much stronger than the vase of Wannian. The action of her tai chi and the subtitles marked by the animation can be regarded as a novel version of microscopic deconstruction of martial arts. Although it is not as detailed as Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts", it feels that foreign audiences may be more likely to accept Feng Delun's perspective. The remaining few heavyweight dragons are introduced with corresponding subtitles when they appear on the stage. While nostalgic, it also shows Feng Delun's ambition to create a new definition of new martial arts through "Tai Chi".
While playing and telling stories, the story capacity of the entire trilogy is probably limited to the inside and outside of Chenjiagou. The traditional Chinese kung fu is one line, and the foreigners' strong boat and sharp gun are one line. The core of it is still the essence of Huang Feihong. Asking boxing - learning boxing - using boxing, this simple three-step walk is by no means right. Watching "Tai Chi" must not take the attitude of watching the story, it is a pleasure in itself, the audience does not need to be so serious, as long as the director is serious. Of course, if it can be as delicious and fun as the peeing beef balls in "God of Cookery", then it will be awesome.
