One bad apple won’t spoil the whole bunch
- Write another 30,000 li of Chang'an
Text/Li Jian
Those poets have already written about it yesterday, but the minor flaws in the movie are also worth talking about.
In terms of Chinese aesthetics, the characters in the movie are naturally not pleasant. "The upper body is short, the lower body is also short," the character design is all like this, the only thing that people like is Xiao Du Fu, but his character image is the same.
The 168-minute time tells the lives of several poets, thus showing the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, and to be honest, it is too frequent. Until later, there was even a little meaning of running accounts, which made it difficult to keep watching, and I wanted to go to the bathroom halfway, but I finished reading it.
The whole film is 168 minutes, half of which is written about Gao Shi's memories of Li Bai, so various film queens commented that this is not "Chang'an 30,000 Li", this is "Li Bai's Biography", yes, this movie gives me the same feeling. Li Bai is the greatest poet of the Sheng Tang Dynasty, which is indeed true, but half of the film is talking about Li Bai, which inevitably makes people feel a little thick and thin. Even the other poets who appear in those films are to set off Li Bai:
For example, the appearance of the Eight Immortals, Cen Fuzi, and Dan Qiusheng is all to set off Li Bai. They either in order to show Li Bai's life experience, or to show Li Bai's character, without exception, Princess Yuzhen is such a role, and many people are also in this role.
However, the flaws are not hidden, and many things in the film can also be taken out and said.
The Yellow Crane Tower and Sheng Tang, the scenes that these movies strive to show, are finally shown. The grand Tang momentum that the movie tries to show, including the costumes, has also done a lot of effort and is very exquisite. According to the main creator, this time's costume specializes in studying Tang murals and Tang maids, to be honest, this is a rare animation person.
The Yellow Crane Tower, a famous building closely related to the film and the Tang Dynasty, also made me see too many things
The film seems to want to use the Yellow Crane Tower to show the two different states of affairs of the Sheng Tang and the Tang after the Anshi Rebellion before the Anshi Rebellion. Before the Anshi Rebellion, the Yellow Crane Tower was singing and dancing, and the people lived and worked in peace, and Li Bai arrived at the Yellow Crane Tower and saw Cui Hao's poem, and he couldn't help but be ashamed. Inside the Yellow Crane Tower, Li Bai's mind was stabilized and Li Bai's arrogance was suppressed
After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the Sheng Tang arrogance no longer existed, and the movie gave the Yellow Crane Tower a close-up, it was dilapidated, that kind of brokenness, it was really uncomfortable, and the former song and dance of the Yellow Crane Tower had disappeared, giving people a feeling of impermanence. This is not the destruction of the Yellow Crane Tower, but the demise of Sheng Tang after the Anshi Rebellion.
Finally, I'm going to write those poems. There are too many poems and poets in the film, poetry is a poem that we once heard well, people, poets we like to see. Too many poems, too many things written, giving "30,000 Leagues" the deepest meaning.
Li Bai's "Will Enter Wine", Gao Shi's "Don't Dong Da", and even the sentences in the verse add a lot to the movie.
Strange imaginary scenes, magnificent pictures of Dapeng's appearance, especially the part where Li Bai wrote that he will enter the wine, the people watching it are really enthusiastic, and they are shouting...
Poetry has long been a thing of the past, and poets have long been gone, and the creation of this film allows us to go back to that era and see the peerless brilliance that only belongs to the Great Tang.
The two reflections have not been written in full until today. The foothold is different, the meaning is different, but finally the manuscript is handed over, which has become a matter of my heart.
The flaws in the movie are not hidden, and the reviews are good and bad, but it is still recommended to friends who like Tang Shi or Sheng Tang to see.
