Western Father-Killer Text + Eastern Culture Smorgasbord,
The story is old-fashioned, the plot is simple and rough,
Easter eggs are better than positives.
Official sister rating: 5.8.
Since the Marvel series began to be large, without the blessing of big screen special effects, word of mouth seems to be difficult to appear in the circle of friends to brush the screen.
This superhero movie, which was looked down upon by domestic audiences, was released in North America in the first two months, and now there is also an online streaming version.
Word of mouth is mediocre, so it may be difficult to see in domestic theaters.
It is estimated that many friends have seen it, and today we will briefly talk about it.
Shangqi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
To say that this Chinese superhero movie, starting from the establishment of the project, should be customized for the majority of the Chinese market.
But what is embarrassing is that when this film was preparing to be filmed, it was boycotted by many Chinese audiences, diss the "insulting Chinese" setting.
The first among them is Liang Chaowei.
When Marvel announced the Shangqi project two years ago, Liang Chaowei played the character name "The Mandarin" – reminiscent of the evil character in the series of novels "Fu Manchu" created by British novelist Sachs Lomoor.
But Marvel, which is rushing to the Chinese market, will obviously avoid these sensitive issues.
Therefore, in the main film, we see Liang Chaowei playing Shangqi's father, whose name is "Xu Wenwu".
In addition, the crew also specially sought out Ben Kingsley to continue to play his role, rounding up everyone's doubts in "Iron Man 3" and explaining the relationship between Wen Wu, played by Liang Chaowei, and The Mandarin made up by Ben Kingsley.
The purpose of instigating a scene is to eliminate the previous doubts of the outside world, but it seems boring and rough.
In addition to eliminating the controversy caused by Liang Chaowei's role in the film, the film adds a large number of oriental elements, which can be called a chaotic stew, as if it is a cultural platter.
For example, Chen Fara's bucket debut is difficult not to think of Song Dandan in "Ten Faces Ambush".
Liang Chaowei and Chen Fara's fight in the forest is simply the aesthetic and imagination of foreigners for oriental martial arts films
It is difficult not to let people string dramas to hu jinquan's "Chivalrous Girl", Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Yimou's "Ten Faces Ambush" and other classic scenes of martial arts films.
However, the set in the film is cheap and earthy.
This combination of red, red, green and green, not to mention Yu Zheng, even our fast hand is not so good!
Including this kind of one-on-one kung fu duel scene, it must be accompanied by a deep background of bamboo shadows -
I don't know whose bamboo forest looks like this
At least that's not the twist and turn in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
It is said to be a tribute, but it is like a clumsy imitation - only the skin, not the essence.
Not to mention that in the second half of the film, the ancient village of Tarot, which hides a huge mysterious power.
The indisputable paradise, red flowers and green meadows, the picture is like a concept map of the domestic fairy tale drama.
As for the traditional Chinese mythical beasts such as the Qilin and the Nine-tailed Fox, when they appeared one by one, the audience almost asked:
"Shallow, is that you?"
As for Wen Wu, a boss with a lifespan of thousands of years, the place of residence is this kind of castle with gray walls and green tiles, half ocean and half earth.
Instantly let people dream back to Liu Yifei's version of "Mulan".
A large number of oriental elements are piled up, plus nearly half of the lines in the whole film are in Mandarin.
Think of foreign audiences watching Marvel's new super British works in North American theaters, but also relying on subtitles, which is sour.
See marvel's efforts, I am afraid that somewhere stepped on the line, but the film is still difficult to say.
Remember the male and female protagonists who were criticized before?
Admittedly, Liu Simu's appearance does not match our understanding of a Chinese handsome man.
But his fight scenes in the film, especially the bus scene in the previous trailer, are well done.
The crew invited the guidance of the family class, so that the action scenes in the first half of the film have a sense of seeing Jackie Chan's "Police Story".
But the role of Shang Qi played by Liu Simu has no other charm to show except for the Chinese kung fu that Westerners are amazed by.
Not to mention the deep and delicate emotions of the characters in the film, which are not excavated and displayed at all.
But for domestic audiences who are accustomed to watching Hong Kong movies, these action scenes have nothing more to react: just this?
We already have traditional heroes like Sun Wukong, Nezha, and even the newly excavated Erlang God, and this airborne superhero is really difficult for people to buy.
Okafina, who plays Katie, a shangqi partner, was previously complained that it was a stereotypical aesthetic of oriental women abroad.
In the film, her role is different from the black widow with a beautiful strip.
The comedic atmosphere that comes with the actor makes her role positioning more like the king beside Doctor Strange.
Only responsible for gags, providing assistance.
Let's go back to the weakest literary drama.
The foundation is the father of the Western's personal hero – looking for self-adventure.
However, the starting and turning is too simple and rough, and the lack of natural transition makes people somewhat incomprehensible.
To tell the truth, there are too many inexplicable plots in this film.
For example —
Wen Wu (Liang Chaowei), who has the power of the Ten Rings, dominates the world, is cold and lonely, and is obsessed with powerful forces.
One day, while traveling to Tarot to find mysterious powers, he met Yingli, who came to intercept him, and after the two sides fought and fought, they fell in love for a second and became old.
From then on, Wen Wu let go of his obsession with power, lived in seclusion with Yingli, and raised Shang Qi and Xia Ling brothers and sisters.
The two sides dueled wen wu defeated by Yingli's hands, and in the midst of the confusion, they fell in love with her?
After a period of calm and calm, Yingli died in an accident, and Wenwu became a cold-blooded father who did not care about his children at all.
I didn't think about how to avenge my wife, or how to protect and protect the two children my wife raised, but I took pains to train my son to become a killer.
Unable to bear the morality of this cruel life, he ran away from home, changed his name to Shane, and worked as a parking brother in San Francisco.
However, the ordinary life of Shangqi was soon ended by a group of people chasing and killing.
At this time, his little friend Katie discovered that this mediocre young man had hidden a shocking secret.
After receiving his sister's postcard, shangqi embarked on a journey to find his long-lost sister Xia Ling.
As everyone knows, the soft and cute Lolita of that year has established a fight venue and grown into a generation of female bosses.
Later, due to the needs of the plot, this girl who was still hating her brother for abandoning her brother one second, the next second she forgave her brother and walked together on a trip to her mother's hometown of Tarot.
The siblings quickly agreed that they were being hunted down by their father.
In fact, the father just wanted to get his mother's relics in the hands of his brothers and sisters.
I don't know why the search for a long-lost child has become a worldwide hunt,
In order to save his wife, it seems as if the children are enemies.
(Double bet, skr!) ）
Then Shang Qi and Xia Ling met the aunt played by Yang Ziqiong in Tarot.
After the aunt said to Shangqi, "Like your mother", Shangqi began to inexplicably guard Tarot and kill his father.
I really admire Yang Ziqiong, who can seriously say that he looks like Chen Fara in front of Liu Simu's face.
After that, the style of painting suddenly changed, and people simply thought that they had mistakenly entered a certain oriental magic giant network, making people powerless to complain.
Blunt turns, no emotional foreshadowing, character actions are completely what the screenwriter says is what it is, not logic.
The positive film is not as good as the last two Easter eggs.
The appearance of Wang, Captain Marvel, and Dr. Banner the Hulk indicates that Shangqi will also join the relevant plot of the subsequent reunion.
Throughout the film, compared with the shangqi without the arc of the character, the wenwu who has a mind on the deceased wife is also more attractive:
This year, superheroes are all the same, but the villains have their own stories of deep suffering.
The world is left to the superheroes to save, and no matter how many times it is destroyed, I am not afraid.
But the villain either loses a loved one, or loses a loved one, and the world is lonely, which makes it easier for the audience to empathize.
