funny but oriental

Quentin Tarantino's name is already loud enough, I should abandon him according to my habit, and continue to look for surprises in strange and immature movies, but for the sake of his absence for many years, I still Couldn't resist watching the first episode of his Kill Bill. Obviously he still has the other half. According to his usual bizarre ideas, the next episode may be subversive, making everyone who watched the first episode dumbfounded, but this can only be regarded as a kind expectation, I think he basically There is no more tricks to play, this episode is enough to play tricks.

First of all, as expected, Kill Bill still uses subtitles as usual, which may be a good way to greet Zhang Hui's novelist, but as a filmmaker, using these traditional methods may be a sign of not reading much. He uses tomato sauce for beef, and tomato sauce for lamb, which shows that he has limited reserves in the refrigerator. Last time he participated in "Four Rooms", I lost my appetite for tomato sauce. I can only slap him first, but his happiness still infected me, and I couldn't help but smile.

The story of killing Bill is not funny. A stupid big female killer was surrounded by many masters of the killer group. She was probably suspected of being a convicted organization. After the tragic torture, someone made up for it. gun. As for the killers we have always trusted, they not only have cool looks, but also have precise killing techniques. We have always trusted them to kill people, but this stupid big woman did not die. When the police found her two days later, Her family's corpses had already begun to rot, but she miraculously survived with her brain blooming, and miraculously woke up four years later, and miraculously became clear-headed, she came up to kill a necrophile and a male Nurse, there are new branches everywhere, especially old ones. Miracles can always happen where we can see them. We can only believe in blatant miracles.

Then the stupid big man first killed a black female. It was probably an old feud that had already washed his hands. Her little daughter was very cute. The stupid big man said to the little girl that she brought your mother's death on her own. If you To take revenge, ten years later, I will be waiting at the top of Huashan Mountain, or that is what I mean, and then, or before, the stupid big man went to Japan.

The climax of the movie is the beheading of a hundred people in the clubhouse, and the big fool single-handedly picks up more than a hundred gangsters, maybe gangsters, because each of them wears Batman-branded blindfolds. The stupid big man first brought down three strong men with one move, Pixing Daiyue, and then fought hard for 300 rounds to kill Meteor Girl. Meteor Girl is probably the daughter of the female gang leader Yam Miko. The weapons are powerful, and Meteor Girl's Meteor Hammer is even more erratic and weird, but she was hit in the temple by a stupid big table leg.

These foreplays are of course relative to the later climax. With the roar of motorcycles, more than a hundred blindfolds poured into the clubhouse in an instant, including Zhensanshan Yuha Yuha, who is good at using double swords and powerful swords, but also when However, the stupid big man has three moves and two styles, and these hundred people are also scattered all over the place, and then we finally ushered in the final decisive battle - the stupid big man VS Yam Yonko.

Outside the house, the plain snow is enchanting, and the stupidity of the water-moving rice pounding machine pervades the surrounding fields. It is stupid. I wrote it right. I just think their oriental artistic conception is a bit nondescript. Afterwards, Su Qin slashed his sword on the back of the big fool, but the light of truth flashed again, and the big fool got up and used the ultimate trick Kang Long You Regret, and Liu Yuling's last sentence of Yam Mizi completely changed the story. I conquered, she said: what a long-lost fish sausage sword!

Although the story of the movie is not funny, but some details are quite funny. For example, the people who were beheaded were all spitting blood. They really put away their swords and fell snow, and Zhou Xingxing sounded when I looked up. I remember that Zhou Xingxing was not always like this. Spitting blood, how could it be abused by Quentin like this, almost everyone does not spray, you have to doubt his funny purpose; there is a very funny place is the moaning of a hundred people, after a hundred people beheaded, they are lying in the hall, fighting fiercely. The voice-over of the silly big man and Yuha Yuha suddenly sounded this kind of sound. I didn't pay attention at first. When the camera turned to the hall, I figured out the source of the sound, and I laughed on the spot; and also, the soundtrack of this movie also It's ridiculous, you know it when you see it.

Anyone who has seen this movie will be impressed by the ten minutes of anime, which tells the process of Yam Yonko's transformation from a girl to a killer. It is very cruel and cute, very Japanese, even if it is only for these ten minutes, this movie is worth watching.

This movie is clearly a remnant of western hippie orientalism, Quentin uses our usual oriental elements, some even oriental clichés, but he mixed this chowder with tomato salsa and it really swayed me I'm really looking forward to his next episode. I was surprised to see the white-browed Taoist priest who is said to be played by Lau Ka Fai standing on the Longquan sword in the hands of the silly big man. I guess this movie will be very popular in the West, if the flying around in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon can make them feel so happy, the coolness of Hundred Man Slash will simply drive them crazy, and in the East, people like others to repeat themselves The psychological advantages and opportunities for cynicism they gain from them outweigh the joy the movie itself can bring us, so I am more and more happier after watching the movie.
