When it comes to Russian films imported from China, the first thing that comes to mind is "Kill Munich", which was just released in China last year, and the blood is boiling with passion.
Then what comes to mind are "Stalingrad", "Here the Dawn Is Quiet", "August 8th" and other iron-blooded and fierce war movies that meet the characteristics of the fighting nation.
But after all, Russia is the country that produces the most literary heroes in the world, and its soft and hard cultural strength cannot be underestimated.
Once the iron-boned and tender Mary Sue got up, it instantly covered the faces of a group of small fresh meat and awls stewed in the country.
The first time I saw the movie "He's the Dragon," I couldn't believe it was produced by the Russian Fighting Nation, based on the novel Ritual by Sergei Giachenko and Marina Giachenko, which cost $18 million.
The whole movie has a beautiful picture, the music is just right, and the most capable of playing is the appearance of the hero and heroine, which directly kills a number of domestic Internet celebrities.
Such a Mary Sue can arouse the girlish heart of female audiences, and it can be said without hesitation that this movie is a completely female-oriented movie, and every plot and every picture can easily make female audiences happy.
The poetic narrative of the whole film, the story is complete, and throughout is love, and true love can even transcend species.
The story begins in a virtual kingdom, the descendant of a dragon slayer, married to a beautiful girl, Mira.
People believe that this world can be peaceful because the dragon slayer killed all the dragons, so in order to show respect for the dragon slayer, they chose to sing the dragon slaying song on the wedding day of the dragon slayer's descendants.
Unexpectedly, it was because of this song that a dragon was awakened, and then the dragon snatched the bride away.
The little Lori bride who had just been taken captive to a desert island was terrified and extremely afraid, and the dragon was really terrifying and tyrannical.
However, when Mira woke up, she was surprised to find that there was another teenager on the island, his handsome face, deep voice, and strong figure not only made the girl, but also made almost every audience fall in love with him at first sight.
So the direction of the story began to change.
Even when Mira later learns that the teenager is actually the embodiment of the dragon, she still can't stop falling in love with the teenager at first sight and named him "Arman", and Arman means hope.
Next, 80% of the film's scenes are aimed at the male and female protagonists living together on the island, specifically and delicately portraying the process of the two from hostility to love.

Interspersed with slow motion and backlight treatment, the romantic atmosphere is about to spread out of the screen;
The melodious string music combined with the low female harmony makes people wish that time would stop at this second.
It is reasonable to say that the plot of "He is the Dragon" is very simple and clichéd, and such a movie will not have a high rating.
But on Douban, the score of this movie is 7.5 points, as a Mary Sue-style fantasy romance film, this score is definitely not low.
The plot of the film wins in natural fluency.
Don't procrastinate, love when it's time to love; don't be pretentious, the hero and heroine never show off people.
The director also does not abuse for the sake of abuse, setting up complex bridges such as male and female lovers missing and reuniting several times.
Quite simply, it's sweet from start to finish.
Coupled with the magnificent bright colors, beautiful clothing styles and breathtaking beautiful scenery, it is difficult not to be impressed.
I don't know how many female viewers who have watched the movie want to go to the fairyland place in the movie with their lovers for life.
Have to sigh, you watch people's movies!
Although Su de was fierce and direct, the special effects, art, scenery, and photography that should be done were all in place, and the image of the dragon was not lost even if it was placed in a traditional blockbuster, and it did not cost much money.
The soundtrack and interlude are very beautiful, and they are harmonious with the picture, which adds a lot to the scene creation of the whole movie.
If the plot continues to develop in this way, then it is a sweet love and scenery film.
When Arman transformed back into human form, he wanted to help the girl, so tell her how to protect herself, and he had the kindness of someone.
But, however, when Arman became a dragon, it became a tyrannosaur again.
And here, the film also buried two uncertain factors to become the hidden danger of breaking up the male and female protagonists.
One is the dragon slayer from outside, Mira's fiancé does not know when to arrive;
The second is that Arman cannot control himself from turning into a brutal dragon, threatening Mira's life.
The secret cause of the generational hatred that exists between dragons and humans is revealed in Arman's confession to Mira:
It turned out that the newly married maidens abducted by the Dragon Clan for generations were bred through the cruel ritual of burning the sacrificial girls, and Arman was born in this way.
The racial feud between man and dragon is destined to keep the love between Mira and Arman from being blessed by the world and seen as a deviant.
This chasm seems insurmountable.
But the heroine Mira gave the male protagonist who is a dragon name "Arman", she hopes that the male protagonist can defeat the evil self after becoming a dragon, and hopes that the male protagonist can always maintain the gentleness and kindness of the human form.
In the movie, Arman is very afraid of himself when he is in the dragon body, because he feels that it is not him, but another self.
It is difficult for him to control himself in the dragon body, after meeting Mira he learns to slowly control himself, if this is not love, then what is it?
However, the dragon also knows that he is a dragon and cannot give the girl happiness, so he decides to let go of this love and scolds Mira.
And the descendants of the dragon slayer could not find the girl at all, which was enough to prove that there was no true love between him and Mira.
Because according to the secret, if there is true love, he can see the isolated island where the dragon is, because true love is the beacon that guides him.
And Mira made a sailboat herself, sadly left the isolated island, and met the descendants of the dragon slayer...
Leaving Arman, Mira lies to her fiancé who came to slay the dragon: "There are no more dragons, the dragons are dead".
On the one hand, Mira does not want To let Arman be hurt, on the other hand, it means that she feels that her love is dead: she cannot be with Arman.
She asked her fiancé bluntly, "Do you love me?" ”
After not getting an answer and seeing only an embarrassed smile, Mira finally believes that the happiness she has always believed in is actually a lie.
She didn't love her fiancé, and neither did her fiancé.
And when she put on her wedding dress again, she finally understood in the boat: love and fate are actually in her own hands.
Love stories without nutrition often tell people that kind girls will eventually get the favor of Prince Charming.
Most fairy tales teach children to be kind.
And "He's the Dragon" tells us to be independent.
"When you fall in love with someone, you have real wings."
At the last moment of the wedding, when the ceremonial boat carrying her was about to reach the shore of her fiancé, Mira sang "The Song of the Dragon".
When Mira's paper dragon flew gently, Arman also descended.
Repentance, summoning dragons, this slow motion is so beautiful that it is intoxicating.
Ancient legends, dream scenes, and the love of human and dragon all show that "He is a dragon" seems to be just a fairy tale.
At the end of the story, Mira and Arman live happily on that beautiful island, happy and sweet, with their own future.
On the surface, Mira chose the dragon, but in fact, she chose her own life.
Love is always just one of the decisions people make in their lifetime.
The important thing is that you be the master of your own destiny.
It has never occurred to me that the romance of the fighting nation can also play romance to the extreme.
Russians' favorite slow motion is almost for this genre.
But "He Is the Dragon" is not too sweet, and the story basically maintains the rhythm.
Symbolic love does not disturb the basic narrative of the film.
Coupled with excellent appearance, exquisite pictures, moving music, as a girl can fantasize about the most beautiful love appearance, probably so.
Perhaps fate is the fiercest dragon, and the warrior who disobeys it can find his true self in the fight with its scales.
Every girl can become a dragon trainer, and bravery will make people find something better than love.
PS: The songs in the film are really good, especially "Song of the Dragon Slayer"
