On August 2, the fantasy detective movie "The Great Snake Disaster of bad handsomeness" that has just been broadcast exclusively on iQiyi's entire network was released as scheduled. The protagonist is Li Dongxue, the king of Guojun in the well-known "Biography of Zhen Huan".
There is very little evaluation of this movie on the Internet now, but it is not very optimistic. Everyone is saying that the screenwriter of this drama is making a mistake, the overall story structure is very messy, it is all for the purpose of arresting people and arresting people for the sake of releasing people, there is no logic between the plots, either the male protagonist has a protagonist aura, or the screenwriter is unreasonable. The plot of the story can be seen everywhere, lack of basic starting and turning, because it is impossible to justify itself, so what strange forces and chaos have come out.
The story has only been online for a short time, it is a purely derogatory language, the film is criticized for "worthless", because the plot has a hard wound, so it is a bad film This diode statement is indeed some black and black. What's more, "The story of "The Great Snake Plague of Bad Handsomeness" is not very good, and it is even relatively small in the detective movie, not brain-burning, no suspense, no reversal." ”
But is this film really that bad? I don't think so. Take three points, although the overall effect does not seem to be satisfactory, but in fact, this movie still has its merits.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" >1: Special effects</h1>
In fact, looking around, the special effects in Chinese film and television works have always been criticized. As long as there are special effects scenes in any film and television works, they will basically be ridiculed by everyone as "five cents special effects". It was not until the emergence of "The Wandering Earth" that it saved a little face for China's special effects.
But aside from the netizens playing the special effects of the terrier "five hairs", if you really look at it in detail, in fact, from the beginning of many TV series, the special effects have been refined a lot. The special effects of "The Great Snake Plague of Bad Handsomeness" are still quite good in many film and television works.
One of the most important elements in this film is the "illusion", for the villain Grand Wizard Yuki, all the ways to spread the Mud Bodhisattva sect is to rely on the illusion brought by the drug, and the illusion is naturally fake, and it needs special effects to construct. Whether it is a mud bodhisattva or a hydra, the special effects are very delicate. The scales on the Basilisk are very in place, and the actors and the environment are integrated without too much sense of violation, and the special effects scene appears just right, which will not make people feel that the drama is out, and there is no mistake such as dropping frames.
Because it is a fantasy theme, there will also be corresponding special effects to assist in martial arts, making the entire fight scene more intense and beautiful. The two fans of the woman in red will bring a burst of killing gas whenever the fan moves, and the special effects will make its embodiment more realistic and exquisite, and it will also line up the character image of the character. There is also the sword qi of the white-faced student, which is also materialized by special effects, and when he fights with the woman in red, the special effects of one red and one blue are particularly eye-catching, and people can more intuitively feel the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two.
Even more powerful are the Japanese samurai's doppelgangers and the spells of the Western Warlocks. Each of the doppelgangers is realistic, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false. The fire phoenix condensed by the warlock spell came to life and came straight to the front door, hitting everyone by surprise, and it was really dazzling.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" >2: Martial Arts</h1>
As mentioned above, martial arts will be more perfect with the blessing of special effects. But when ordinary soldiers sword each other, they don't have the gorgeous and special effects brought by special effects. It is entirely dependent on the actors' real knives and guns, as well as the direction of the camera movement to enhance the visual stimulation.
The overall martial arts are still very good, and every move is displayed cleanly and neatly in front of the camera, without false model comparison and pushing and shoving. There is a scene where the leading Hu Ren draws a whip on a soldier, in order to highlight the strength of her martial arts, the soldier's entire company with weapons is overturned to the ground, and the camera also rotates in a circle, as if the sky is spinning, extremely visually stunning.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" >3: Plot</h1>
The male protagonist from the beginning of the death row prisoner, to the ending of the "bad handsome", the identity is a heaven and an underground. The makeover is his meritorious service, but also a deep injustice. Before the execution, the protagonist made a military order to "wear the crime and make meritorious deeds" to survive and fight for a glimmer of life. Under his desperate counterattack, the clues were sorted out in the fog, and the villain's old lair was successfully found- Nibo Village. Only then did he learn the truth and have the opportunity to tell the world to arrest the villain.
Overall, although the plot is slightly old-fashioned, but still full of "truth, goodness and beauty" in the hearts of the people, the choice of self is the most important, under the villain's inhuman pursuit and slaughter, the protagonist learned these truths with the life of a whole Miao village, understood the meaning of life, found the true self, no longer self-pity, but know how to be for the world, for the people, for the country, for the righteousness, I am for everyone, everyone is for me.
On the surface, it is just a story of a person fighting back for his own life, but in fact, it is an opportunity for the protagonist to redeem himself. Once upon a time, he also gave everything for his Chang'an, but in the end it was the crime of killing the head in prison. He thought that everything he had once guarded was not worth it, and he had paid a lot for Chang'an, for the people, but no one had ever done anything for him.
Even the Nine Heavenly Gods and Buddhas would have complaints, not to mention that he was a mortal and still a thankless "bad person". Fortunately, his heart was good, but only because of the coldness of the world and the uneasiness of the world, he lost confidence, and he repented and was reborn in the corpses and blood of the people around him, and only then did he achieve the bad handsome who finally saved the world from peace.
Maybe what the protagonist wants to understand in the end is that it is right or wrong, and what is the difference? If the mountain does not come to me, I will go to the mountain. No "people" need me, but Chang'an needs me. As long as my heart is good, I am worthy of myself and worthy of Chang'an.
