This year, "City Hunter" launched a new theatrical version, as an old fan has been excited when they see the trailer, until they officially see the main film, they are indeed killed by the nostalgic elements inside.
Whether it is the familiar red car in the opening chapter wandering through the streets, or Ah Liang's still handsome posture and accurate marksmanship, it makes people feel like they have stepped back in time.
When the three sisters of Cat's Eye appeared, it made my adrenaline soar as a senior otaku, and the nostalgic background music sounded when the old tears flowed.
However, when the feelings supported themselves after watching this film, there was a deep sense of loss -
City Hunter has been away from us for so long that even if it's a new bottle of old wine, you can't experience that mellow aroma anymore.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > glorious years that cannot be returned</h1>
As a representative work of HojoJi, "City Hunter" first appeared in front of domestic readers back to the 90s of the last century, when it was introduced to China at the same time as "Dragon Ball", "Saint Seiya", "Chaotic Horse 1/2", translated as "Detective Han Yuliang", published by the hainan photography art publishing house that everyone is familiar with.
Different from the alternate world such as "Dragon Ball", "City Hunter" uses realistic performance techniques to set the stage of the story in Shinjuku, and the exquisite picture gives the reader a strong sense of presence. Urban crime stories coupled with the endless emergence of various beautiful women also made "City Hunter" more youthful than the juvenile positioning of other contemporaneous works, and attracted a large number of older fans at the time.
Although the beauty of HojoJi was criticized for her facial makeup and only changed her hairstyle and clothing, in that era, it did affect many people's aesthetic cognition of women, and the painting style of Yan Kai, a famous manga artist in China, had a strong Hojo style.
Hojoji, along with Akira Toriyama, Masami Cheda, and Rumiko Takahashi, became a representative manga artist of that golden age of manga, and was enshrined on the altar by readers.
"City Hunter" has been adapted into film and television dramas many times, which is enough to show the extent of his influence.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > perfect male Han Yu Liang</h1>
As one of the most obsessive male characters in manga history (hoshidang and Yokoshima Tadao are also unyielding), Han Yu Ryo shows the inferiority of men at a glance.
But would you hate him for that? At least I still think he's the most perfect male character in the history of comics, not one of them.
He is handsome and handsome, with a height of more than one meter and eight meters, and his appearance can charm many women, but he is also very skilled, and he can walk on the tip of the knife with ease.
As a person living in a dark world, Han Yuliang's experience is also very bearable. When he was young, he was on a plane with his parents and crashed into the jungles of South America, resulting in the almost complete loss of childhood memories, and he was seriously injured and accidentally hit the village where the anti-government mercenary guerrillas were located, where he was adopted by his leader, Kaihara Shin, as a righteous son and became one of his mercenaries, and has been living in a bloody storm.
It's really rare to have such an experience and have such an optimistic mindset.
He is jealous and hateful, and although he is usually cynical, he is never soft in the face of criminals, and the emergency moment is the most reliable existence.
The most important emotional main line in "City Hunter" is the love between Han Yuliang and Ah Xiang, who usually pretends to have no interest in Ah Xiang, but actually buries his emotions in the depths of his heart, because he knows that in the rain of bullets and bullets, he does not know that he will lose his life one day, and how can he make Ah Xiang happy if he does not even have a household registration?
Ah Xiang's bad marksmanship was that Han Yuliang had used his hands and feet on the gun, and he didn't want his beloved to have blood on his hands like him.
Because of the bloody storm, it was enough for him to bear it.
Such a man, what else can you ask him for? It was just an occasional offense, not to mention that he had hardly succeeded.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > unspeakable goodbye</h1>
This year can be said to be the year of the resurgence of the IP of "City Hunter", and the reduction of the French live-action version of the film has been unanimously praised by fans. It's just that the appearance of foreigners is still a little bit worse.
And this new animated theatrical version, although it is also a fan-oriented film, is obviously also catering to young audiences.
For example, shinjuku station's classic chalkboard is gone, and you need to scan it with your phone to enter the code "XYZ".
Han Yuliang's house inexplicably became very large and empty.
These are actually not important, the biggest problem is that the main object of the battle in this film is some artificial intelligence mechanical weapons, and the final bullet to the missile is also unscathed to end the battle.
Of course, I have never doubted Han Yuliang's strength, but these intelligent weapons that claim to be directly controlled by the brain are also too weak, right? And the motivation of this behind-the-scenes BOSS also makes people feel ignorant.
In addition to the hot scenes, it is really not as good as the chase scene of driving a red car at the beginning of the film.
If I had only retained the plot and replaced all the characters, I don't think I would have been able to stick to the end of the film.
Sometimes when you think about it, beautiful things seem to exist only in memory, just like instant noodles, and the current multi-pack of spices is not as good as a pack of spices in childhood.
"City Hunter" has accompanied us through an era, and that kind of beauty is hidden in the bottom of our hearts, and it is enough to take it out occasionally to remember it.
This new theatrical version doesn't let me see the real you. Perhaps, I really shouldn't see you getting old in Angel Hearts.
Time is merciless, you are old, and our once childish faces are beginning to show signs of time. Although I don't want to say goodbye, Han Yuliang, we really have to say goodbye.
Thank you and see you soon!
