Compared with the first part, the second part lacks a lot of comics and game-style character illustrations. But it is probably because the first eye-catching gimmick has accumulated audiences, and the second episode is obviously more focused on storytelling.
Telling the story with ups and downs is still a flaw in Tai Chi. The crossover that lacks a lot of elements also makes 2 to 1 seem less innovative and break through the tradition.
However, in an era of great change such as the Industrial Revolution knocking on the door of traditional farming, Tai Chi still managed to grasp the various mentalities of the people under the collision of the old and the new with the technology at that time.
Even, whether it is the head of the family, Yu Niang, Zaiyang, or Fang Zijing's character descriptions, they are relatively full. Hateful people are pitiful, and righteous people are not rigid and never struggled.
all in all.
Both Tai Chi 1 and Tai Chi 2 lack the rhythm of storytelling. So much so that after watching the ending of 2, the author is very confused about whether there is a 3rd part.
However, look back at episodes 1 and 2 again. This is still a very sincere and creative work. If there is a third episode, I will continue to buy tickets to support.
Finally, it needs to be mentioned weakly.
I heard someone discussing at the entrance of the cinema, 1's failure was still Troy.
Once again, I feel that Feng Delun has done an excellent job in the mechanical settings. No matter how powerful Tai Chi is, it is impossible to defeat the iron armored machine with fists and feet. In the face of that era, machines that depended on steam engines and gears, in addition to fists and feet, were the key to victory.
The perfect plan to use barbarian skills to control barbarians should be a strategy like Uncle Chang Gong and Yu Niang. Is not it?
