Speaking of tattoos, what are the associations?
Is it a cool, representative young man? Are those mysterious sorcery symbols? Is it a testimony of lifelong love? Or are they the heroes and good men in "Water Margin" who are stabbed in the face by the government?
I watched this movie with curiosity about the title of "Tattoo" and felt something.
The story of "Tattoo" takes place in Longyan Town, a major salt industry in the southwest before the War of Resistance Against Japan. It tells the story of the member of the Green Dragon Society, the tattooist Ah Chang (Zhao Wenzhuo), who was designed by the Japanese secret agents to take the initiative to protect his daughter from clearing her grievances, but did not want to fall into a bigger conspiracy, and finally fought a battle.
This is a classic action movie with a unique temperament and complete genre elements. Genre elements gather, there are flying knives to kill, fists to flesh, guns and fire, revenge, gangsters and brotherhood. In order to take care of the commercial film covering female audiences, the children's love, brotherhood, father-daughter love, and emotional drama in the film are also commendable and moving. At the same time, its story takes place in the southwest borderlands, in the picturesque and simple countryside, which could have enjoyed the joy of heaven, but in the chaotic world of the Japanese invasion, Ah Chang and his family were also involved. After watching the movie, I remembered "Wuxia", and there are many heroes who see the same thing.
Get a glimpse of the gangster meeting scene from this action movie. The Qinglong Gang also believes in The Second Brother Guan, unlike other gangs who only treat the Second Brother Guan as a decoration, the Qinglong Gang's worship of the Second Brother Guan is deeply rooted in the "bone marrow". They followed the allusion of Guan Er's bone scraping to cure poison and evolved into the initiation ceremony of the backbone members. The ritual was performed by generations of Achan, who scraped the flesh and shaved the dragon on the bone as quickly as possible. This ceremony has not been shown in other gangster movies, and it is very novel. There are also several episodes that show the gang's vote. This is a big pleasure, I remember in the "Underworld" to see such a plot, there is no gangster movie so shown, other gangster movies are just reduced to a sense of fighting and killing. The gang will vote in front of the altar of incense to determine a person's life and death, and this plot is interesting to use in the male protagonist's "Soul Night". In addition, there is a place where the male protagonist is tied to a water wheel and tortured, which is very regional.
Speaking of the points that male audiences like, that fragrant scene must not be absent. In several places in the plot, the male protagonist Ah Chang played by Zhao Wenzhuo gave a tattoo to a Western woman, and the exotic Western woman twisted her posture, and the pain caused by the tattoo became a delicate breath, and the director showed his audiovisual language level here. The Japanese Asano brought Toyo girls to get tattoos, and even tried to seduce Ah Chang with tiger and wolf words such as erlong play beads and lion rolling hydrangea balls, but Ah Chang sat still.
The whole film also has groove points, such as the end of Wang Shengdi's role of Lan Er's revenge snow hate is known from the newspaper, the audience is actually looking forward to the revenge process, emotional lack, but all this is actually a mystery. For a long time, Chinese audiences have a stereotype that a bad box office is the same as a bad movie. You don't know that as a complete industrial chain, film is very important in any link, and even a step mistake leads to the abandonment of the previous achievements and the loss of the plate. Here, I would like to appeal to all theater managers and industry practitioners who have died of cold lips and teeth to watch this film, exchange discussions and rebuttals. Whether it is a moment of success or failure is not enough to turn the head empty, but the experience and experience left behind is the driving force to continue to move forward.
