The beginning of "Manjiang Hong" is the three big characters of Manjiang Red pulled out by Big Red, and the use of this big red opening is the national teacher. Immediately followed by the intense movement of personnel, with the music special effects, the tense rhythm makes the atmosphere of watching the movie suddenly come up. The eyes of all the guest officers followed the soldier's smoke intently, and when they got to the place, they fixed their eyes, well, the fat man of Jin Guo was stabbed in the heart. Not to mention that the enemies of the Jin and Song dynasties are strong and weak, just to say that the rules of these two countries not fighting each other have existed in ancient times, and the death of this envoy of the Jin State in the temporary residence of the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty can be described as a catastrophe.
Shen Teng and Qianxi appeared on this side, and the good show kicked off, and the audience looked at it, a proper suspense blockbuster style.
Eh, no, why is this suspenseful blockbuster still a little funny? Did those three big games laugh the whole audience?
The film has such excellent tuning for the actors, the use of the courtyard structure like a cow, the delicate and natural lighting of the scene, the narrative rhythm with just the right sound effect control (rock Yu drama with everyone rushing away), the perfect integration of multiple styles such as suspense, funny and blood, each of these outstanding details tells us that this is Zhang Yimou's work!
We have been amazed that he can work on 8 projects at the same time, and even more amazed at the good reviews and different styles of each of his recent works.
In his 70s, he is constantly innovating and pushing his comfort zone. I think he is really using action to match the great directors Kurosawa and Kubrick in his mouth.
If it weren't for Zhang Yimou's rich casting experience and skills in tuning actors, it's hard to imagine anyone who could perfectly integrate this star-studded lineup and burst out with unprecedented energy. He excavates precisely the qualities and merits of an actor. He uses Shen Teng's joy and intelligence, he uses Qianxi's vigor and ruthlessness, he uses Zhang Yi's changeability and calmness, he uses Xiao Yueyue's cuteness and generosity, and he uses Lei Jiayin's explosive power and disguise. It can be said that every actor who is stereotyped and stereotyped in everyone's eyes shines with new brilliance in his hands, and those advantages are all magnified.
With Director Zhang and Chen Yu's joint play is also quite powerful, you may be able to guess part of the process correctly with clues, but if you are not through the play, then you can't guess the ending at all. The script-killing experience and the weird anti-transferor are hearty, and whenever you feel like something unexpected and unexpected, the progress bar (159 minutes in total) always tells you that things are not as simple as you think!
The relationship between the characters in the story is intricate, the plot is one link after another, and the little calculations in the hearts of the adults in each game are crackling, and they all want to leave a way back for themselves in the future. But only true hot-blooded men can go forward and follow suit, without reservation, and without fear of death, and only they can be worthy of the four words of loyal service to the country.
A good word, the revival of the three armies, the thousand years of retribution, the admiration of all generations. Loyal to the liver and courage, warm blood and warm intestines, this is the endless bloodline inheritance of the Chinese nation. Who would have thought that the movie that made himself laugh so many times, burning brain cells for reversing, finally gave us the most sincere touch.
Before watching it, I couldn't guess what kind of style and content "Manjiang Hong" was, and after watching it, I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time in the unexpected plot.
It's hard not to like a movie that surprises you beyond expectations.
