When you first look at the title, many viewers may wonder why the film is called "Tattoo"? But after watching it, you will deeply understand the intention and depth of the title.
The plot story is not complicated, but it is bloody and tragic enough! The male number one "Ah Chang" played by Zhao Wenzhuo is a master chef with exquisite tattoo skills, and he is also the mainstay of the "Green Dragon Society". However, in an operation to loot merchant ships, the entire "Green Dragon Gang" became a thorn in the eye of the Japanese enemy, and "Achang" bore the brunt of it and became the number one target for the Japanese emissaries to be eliminated.
A inhumane frame-up conspiracy unfolds quietly, the conspiracy and danger are pressing forward step by step, and Ah Chang finally discovers the truth, but the ending is too tragic! For the sake of affection, he would rather be shot and killed by the enemy. It is said that the chaotic world produces heroes, although Ah Chang is the core figure of the gang, but the background of the war and moral loyalty, so that he eventually became a small "tattoo" of the times, representing the indelible pride and integrity.
And Zhao Wenzhuo interprets the spirit and spirit of "Ah Chang" very well, the gaze is very sharp, and from the use and switching of different eyes, it can be seen that he injects soul and strength into the role. Of course, the most wonderful is the action element, the fist to the flesh action scene to see the blood boiling, the national feelings can be closer to the role of "Ah Chang", to empathize with his anger and pity, to resent the enemy's evil and persecution.
There are many highlights of the film, in addition to feeling the wonderful action scene of Zhao Wenzhuo's sword immortality, it is also attracted by the scenery of the southwest frontier in the historical background of the film, and the freshness of those customs and customs makes the film carry a strong regional characteristic. The display of the "Green Dragon Gang" gang rules is impressive, and under the language of the camera with a sense of ceremony, it reflects the elegance and intention of the production behind the scenes of the film.
But what is somewhat surprising is that such a sincere work is due to the inclusion of too many factors, resulting in a low amount of films! Many netizens said after watching the trailer that they wanted to see the highlights, but there were not many scenes to choose from. Indeed, the film was originally intended to be released in 2020, but it was only able to start painting due to the epidemic.
Therefore, whether it is from the bumpy road to the release of the film, or the current situation of low scheduling, I can't help but feel aggrieved for "Tattoo". In particular, some viewers believe that the low number of films means that the quality of the film itself is a problem, but in fact, "Tattoo" is sophisticated and solid enough from production to story.
And the box office level can not define the quality of a movie, and from the content released by the official Weibo of "Tattoo", the filmmakers did not have a word of misery! There is no complaint to arrange the film, but actively release positive energy content, and all the comments of all parties are received according to the order, the good evaluation is accepted with an open mind, and the objective suggestions are also actively returned.
Seeing this, I actually admire the attitude of the filmmakers in my heart. As small as accepting all the evaluations, whether good or bad, to accepting the fact that the schedule is low. In other words, "Tattoo" actually has confidence in its own quality and always believes that good movies will be liked by everyone.
Finally, back to the film itself, I personally feel that the word "tattoo" as the title of the film, on the one hand, because the protagonist "Achang" is a tattoo artist, on the other hand, the mysterious pattern of "tattoo" is also an important clue, and on the third hand, as mentioned at the beginning, the background and ending of the role of "Achang" are like a special "tattoo" in wartime. Fourth, the style of the film is distinct, both the roughness of westerns, the chivalry of gang films, and the branding of industrial style, and the whole film has a very distinct "tattoo" symbol!
In addition, the two mysteries in "Tattoos" are also very special "tattoos". Many viewers are curious about the film's ending is somewhat direct, why is it not shown that "Lan Er" (played by Wang Shengdi) avenged his father "Ah Chang", but only explained in the form of newspaper reports? In fact, this is a mystery left by the film to the audience, which will be revealed in the second part.
In addition, many viewers wondered about the origin of "Lan Er", why is she a mixed-race face when she becomes an adult? In fact, this mystery has already been traced in the film, depending on whether the audience can find the answer carefully!
