In all fairness, Painted Skin II is better than Painted Skin I in terms of storytelling. Painted Skin I is actually telling a few stories of love triangles. The mistress, the original match, a goblin who wants love, seems to have been unable to escape similar routines since ancient times. The title of "Painted Skin" is not too pointy. I forgot the specific plot after reading it. But Painted Skin II is a different story. Although someone commented that the plot of this film is still so magical and so mysterious, but I like this kind of godly development-although it feels like a bunch of dog blood terriers have been put together, but I can watch this year. There are not many movies where the plot can't be guessed. For this, I have to give a good review to the screenwriter of Painted Skin II.
The themes discussed in Painted Skin II are actually very common, skin appearance and human heart, which one is the so-called love. The change of skin between Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun was guessed from the beginning, but I did not expect the change of heart after that. In fact, I didn't quite understand until the end, why did Chen Kun reject Zhao Wei so bluntly at the beginning, and even forced her to commit suicide. Isn't such a big mess caused by his old-fashioned dislike of Jing'er played by Zhao Wei at the beginning. what. He even admitted in front of Jinger that he and Xiaowei (even Jinger wearing Xiaowei's skin) had been lingering all night. When Jinger really wanted to sacrifice and kiss for the country, he started to ignore orz for love as if he had changed. Knowing this, what have you been doing before? Anyway, Chen Kun's general in this film is speechless. He has a middle-class temperament, and can only be used as a vase in this woman's play.
Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun played very well. I have to say that after watching this film, I feel that Jinger and Xiaowei are a couple. The two are destined for each other - Jinger can use an immortal heart to defend Xiaowei against the coldness of the ice hell, and Xiaowei can make up for Jinger's regret with a perfect skin; ——At the very beginning, Jing’er, dressed in military uniform and armor, rescued Xiao Wei from the sky from the pursuit of a bunch of people. Isn't that how Chen Kun and Zhou Xun met in Painted Skin I? Later, Jinger committed suicide by diving because of her emotional injury. It was also Xiaowei who took the risk of revealing her demonic appearance and went into the water to save people. That scene was really beautiful and romantic. Every time the two changed their skins, the atmosphere was extremely dreamy. The two big beauties bathed naked and had various ambiguous actions. How to see how lingering. And every time Xiaowei is frozen, Jinger will run to her and hug her tightly to help her resist the cold, even if she dutifully said she wanted to kill Xiaowei, the goblin. Not to mention the ending, Xiaowei and Jinger are finally united. Although I know that this is the theme of the film to show the unity of soul and flesh, it still makes people cry for the beautiful HE who is not very HE. So again, in this relationship, Chen Kun really sees how cannon fodder. =口=
While watching the film, someone kept saying that the relationship between Yang Mi's Queer and Feng Shaofeng's Descendants of the Monster Hunter was really healing. Both of them were born in idol dramas, so it feels very good to play this pure first love. From the very beginning, the two of them have taken the easy and cute route. As a goblin, Queer seems to be ruthless but is actually ignorant and ignorant. This pair is particularly fresh against the dark love line of the male and female protagonists. Originally, I was thinking that if Chen Kun, Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun would be the BE, it would be good for these two to be HE. It's a pity that the result was the opposite, Qu'er was killed or killed by the blood of the monster catcher, but the three people lived together in an awkward way.
Speaking of endings - I personally don't think I like such a perfect ending for the male lead. If the final plot is that Jinger wears Xiaowei's skin to ashes, and Xiaowei and the general are together, I think this ending is quite good. Because this is a pure tragedy. As for Jing'er, she changed her skin and heart for that man, almost becoming a fairy, but in the end she disappeared and the man didn't even know the truth; as for the general, he had poked himself in the eyes in order to make Jinger relieved. Thought she could recognize her lover, but in the end she still failed to recognize Xiao Wei, who had Jinger's heart in Jinger's skin, so she deceived herself and lived on; but for Xiaowei, she had always wanted one that belonged to Her own heart, a love that belongs to her, a person who can work hard for herself, now she has it, but that person loves her as someone else, she is just a substitute for others. This kind of ending has a different flavor than the current big reunion.
Finally - Fei Xiang's Voldemort look is no longer able to complain.
In general, the main storyline of the film is acceptable, and the actors perform well, but the plot is too fragmented, which makes it look too messy.
Can't say it's a good movie, and it's not too bad either. It's okay to go to the cinema and see it.
