It can be said that, at least from the point of view of "Tai Chi 1", this is a movie with outstanding advantages and disadvantages. Judging from the trailer before its release, the producer even made no secret that its plot was the biggest weakness of the movie, and it was "hyped up". So, before we watch the movie, we've been spoiled to the point of being "incomplete". For me at least, I'd love to see how much this movie can surprise me when I already have a rough idea of the storyline.
In the end, after watching the movie, firstly, I think this movie is very happy and beautiful, and secondly, I am looking forward to the next episode.
Feng Delun did not use Tai Chi to create a new martial arts ambition. You can't expect this movie to spark a revolution in martial arts movies like Tsui Hark's "New Dragon Inn". In terms of style, "Tai Chi" is a movie with a marginal style. He will leave a fortune in martial arts movies, but he cannot bring too much impetus to the entire martial arts movie. Although under the operation of Chen Guofu, the box office of this movie will not be low, but this does not mean that creating a movie in this way, or creating a martial arts movie, will make such a weird style become a mainstream.
This is a very mash-up movie, hip-hop, rock, anime, video games, and even punk. Such "messy collocation" will undoubtedly make lovers love it very much, and haters hate it very much. Feng Delun seems to regard "Tai Chi" as a canvas, splashing on it wantonly. So, in the end, you found that this weird movie, except for the plot and Tai Chi, everything else is unknown. To me, "Tai Chi" is like a long piece of comic dialogue, a small burden for three minutes and a big burden for five minutes. I don't know what kind of treasure Feng Delun will play for me in the next episode, so when I watch a movie, it is one surprise, two surprises... until N surprises. I also had this feeling when I watched Quentin's movies. Of course, Feng Delun is not Quentin.
"Tai Chi" plays very well. In order to make the film more like a kung fu film, in addition to a few protagonists, the film uses N trainers, which makes the film's action sections look better than the usual martial arts films with boxing and legs. . It can be said that it is not easy to photograph Tai Chi with the taste of softness and rigidity, and to make it look good. I didn't like Sammo Hung's martial arts design before, but this time he created "Tai Chi", which really impressed me. Before "Tai Chi", this slow kung fu was good-looking and powerful. Except for "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", it was "Kung Fu". I believe that many viewers, like me, have the urge to practice Tai Chi after watching the movie.
So, this movie has surprised me everywhere, except for the plot. Although the producers do not hide the frailty of their plots, they should be criticized the same. The first half of "Tai Chi" is a traditional story of poor children seeking art from their teachers. Although this part of the plot is cliché, it can still bite the theme. But the sudden appearance of the steam monster is a bit suspicious of punk style for the sake of punk style. Don't expect a movie like "Tai Chi" to carry such profound thoughts as the contradictions brought about by the industrial revolution. This is just a pretense. The appearance of the steam monster is only for the movie to have more highlights on the screen, purely to cater to "Punk style", that is, this paragraph, has almost nothing to do with "Tai Chi". In my opinion, although the steam monster is shocking, it is the most replaceable element in the film. In my eyes, its awesome appearance is far less cool than two people watching PK. Fortunately, this steam monster just came out and finished its mission. What I hope is that in the next episode, if there are similar elements appear, then please be more closely related to the word "Tai Chi", of course, nothing is better. .
Looking forward to October 25th.
