I just watched another movie with the same theme and watched this one out of curiosity. Although some familiar two-dimensional elements are hard to say whether they are borrowed or what, I am sure that this is by no means a bad movie.
Compared with the other film, the screenwriter of this film focuses on the fate and fetters between several "people (servant gods)". There are traces of both the beginning and the end. It can be seen that the story has been carefully polished and relatively full and exquisite. , which is qualitatively different from the long stories of the Jazz series, which are incomprehensible and filled with special effects and inexplicable settings.
The story of the princess and He Shouyue is poignant and embarrassing, especially the princess, who is extremely moving. Finally, the true meaning of the name "Shouyue" is revealed, accompanied by Kenji Kawai's magnificent and ethereal music, which makes people's hearts shake.
Besides the two male protagonists, at first, according to the usual impression of Seimei Boya, I once thought that the casting was wrong? Later, it was found that these two actors are precisely the castings that best fit the character setting of Seimei Boya in this story.
Mark's Qingming is less dangerous and evil, but more gentle and a touch of subtle melancholy, and Deng Lun's liberal arts have a clear and upright youthful spirit. Even transforming into (awakening?) Suzaku, completely got the liberal setting in the screenwriter's eyes.
In comparison, Seimei's character is not as invincible and kills three parties as in works of the same theme. He has his clumsiness and cunning. In team battles, he is more like a leader and a nurse? But there is nothing wrong with it, there is its cuteness, and it is not so lonely.
The most rare thing is that the emotional bond between two people is not deliberate, but gradual, from grudges, to mutual recognition, to life and death, Seimei finally has someone he wants to protect. In the end, the two of them made an appointment to fight side by side here. Boya sent off with a flute to echo the beginning and the end, and it ended beautifully.
The only complaint is that Seimei clearly can teleport, and there are often cute shots of running to the scene... Every time the two of them run out of the teleport circle together, there is an inexplicable joy... In the end, the shooting star The arrow points the way, and a small boat drives into the sea. Are you afraid of turning over when you just want to complain? As a result, a huge teleportation formation came out, and he laughed immediately.
In the ending lyrics, the character names of the two of them are transformed into them, which is romantic and unique, like the end of a lyrical prose.
Looking at it without a filter, because the story is complete and sophisticated, the visual effects combined with the tacitly perfect music, this is a qualitative leap compared to Director Guo's previous magic-themed movies, and it is indeed worth the audience spending more than two hours. Immerse yourself in it, and you can actually reap the inspiration.
