The colors are bright and the music is soothing.
A masked child is picking out candy in front of a bank vending machine.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the beautiful and quiet picture was broken by a gang of bandits.
They were fierce, they were misbehaving, and in the blink of an eye they had washed the bank of blood.
What I never expected was that the bandits did not escape after winning the hand, but fell into the hell of paradox, surrounded by a group of "ghosts"...
Such a cult section, even for Nicholas Cage, seems a bit strange.
But well, if the director is the Japanese ghost talent Yuan Ziwen, then everything has become just right again-
Prisoner of the Ghost Nation
Prisoners Of The Ghostland
The last card in the Asian Cult world, Yuan Ziwen, after expressing his madness of sacrificing everything for the movie with "The Red Mailbox on Escher Street", finally went abroad to conquer Hollywood.
And Nicholas Cage, who has experienced the transformation from oscar to box office poison to cult professionals, has long been out of the pool.
The "crazy union" of the two is really exciting.
The story takes place in the fictional Samurai Castle.
Traditional Japanese architecture is scattered here;
But in the air, the flags of various countries are flying.
Even more outrageous is that the ruler of Samurai City is actually an elderly white man known as the governor;
His men included western cowboys, as well as shogunate samurai;
In addition, the residents of the city are all kabuki who are flourishing...
Cage's character is once again nameless (see Willie's Amusement Park~).
Since the failed bank robbery years ago, he has been imprisoned in a dark prison.
On this day, the governor suddenly released Cage on bail, saying that he wanted him to help find his missing granddaughter.
To prevent Cage from escaping or plotting against his granddaughter, the governor also planted sensor bombs on his limbs, throat, and genitals.
If Cage's behavior is slightly worse, the consequences will be unimaginable
As for why you should ask Cage for help, there are actually some explanations.
The road outside samurai castle is covered by the "ghost country" of the glamorous rays at some point.
The governor's granddaughter, Bernice (Sophia Podora), fell into this forbidden place on her way away from home.
Unsuspecting Cage, of course, is not immune.
As soon as I left the city, I inexplicably destroyed people and fainted...
When he woke up again, he had been carried towed into a trailer and headed into the hinterland of the "Land of Ghosts.".
The illusion and reality in the confusion are like a grand performance art performance.
At the end of the road, the "Ghost Country" has finally been unveiled.
In fact, those "ghosts" are just the guards of the forbidden land, and the poor passers-by who are trapped here are her real residents.
In the most conspicuous place, there is a huge clock.
Some people think that as long as they literally let time stop turning, they can live here forever;
The other part of the population longs for the "heroes" who are shedding their blood to emerge and lead them out of the country.
At present, Cage, he can't care about being a hero, but he wants to find Bernice and run away.
Some do-gooders claim to have seen the woman in the photo, who is in a mannequin not far away.
The evil lord has imagined countless possibilities, how a person should be "in a mannequin."
I never imagined that this sentence should be understood literally...
In any case, Cage found Bernice effortlessly.
However, she seemed to have been hit by something evil, unable to speak or move.
The "chiefs" of the residents quickly explained that it was not they who bound Bernice, but the "prison" at their feet.
Every innocent soul that fell into it was robbed of something.
Some are voices, some are hopes, some are courage...
Cage, who is not stingy, can not take care of so much.
Forcibly take Bernice away and head straight for the border of the "Ghost Nation".
The ghosts flocked to besiege the two while also allowing a period of the past to surface.
The first is the origin of the "Ghost Nation".
Once upon a time, it was also a fertile paradise.
The towering nuclear energy tower is enough to provide energy for the entire empire.
Until one day, a giant truck carrying nuclear waste collided head-on with a transport truck full of death row inmates.
Burning, terrible burning...
The "Ghost Nation" rises from the poisonous ruins, and the souls of those death row inmates are transformed into ghosts and linger around it.
Next, it's the beginning and end of Cage's failed robbery.
In fact, he did not intend to shoot and injure people at first.
However, his accomplices lost their minds and went on a killing spree against the women and children present.
In the face of the police who came to encircle and suppress, Cage chose to raise his hand and surrender, and his accomplices were sentenced to death for violent resistance to the police.
During the exchange of fire, a mother and daughter next to them were injured by stray bullets.
The mother died instantly, and the injured little girl was adopted "kindly" by the governor.
Yes, she is the "granddaughter" Bernice who is now running away from home.
Even more coincidentally, the prison car in which Cage's accomplices were riding just happened to hit nuclear waste, which led to the birth of the "Ghost Nation" and the undead ghosts...
Everything in the underworld has its own providence, and all the characters and all the bonds are finally one.
At this point, Cage had to accept his setting as a "hero".
Began to find a way to lead the trapped residents to escape the "Ghost Country".
A fire burned away "time", and the courage to return made everyone face reality again.
The accomplices also reconciled with Cage and showed him the only way to break the game .
Kill the governor who is committing evil in Samurai Castle.
So Cage and Bernice returned to their hometown;
The revolt of the geisha and the awakening of the samurai finally caused the governor's rule to fall apart.
The story ended here, so that many viewers could not help but exclaim, "I have seen a god horse lonely."
The characters are completely invalidated, the dialogue is unclear, and the plot is illogical.
Overflowing symbols and broken intentions make this film the lowest-rated work in the garden.
However, "as many people hate as many people as they love", it is the unique black charm of the garden director.
Prisoner of memory, prisoner of class, prisoner of time, prisoner of time.
Extreme stylization and anti-logic, as well as wild imagination.
The "Land of Ghosts" is actually a performance art playground called "Yuan Shi".
There is no need to swim in it and immerse yourself in it
