This drama with a Douban score of only 5.0 should be rated higher.
This is actually a story of ants fighting the whole world.
Some people may question whether a film that is obviously placed on the B station is so profound?
some.
The ant that runs through the opening subtitles, as well as the huge ant shape of the village mouth in the first episode of the story and the other village that bullies Xuanju Village is called the Anteater Beast Village, all remind the audience that this story is a war between an ant and the world, but his expression becomes more like an "adult fairy tale" because of neuroticism and nonsense, which is also the opportunity for the fusion of martial arts and nonsense, of course, a person who has no strength but carries a deep hatred of the blood sea and is wanted by the world to fight against the "Great Demon King" This thing itself is very nonsensical and very martial.
Personally, I like director Lu Zhengyu's work, which is the alternative dissolution of all injustices in this world by small people with nonsense, and the director has actually always had a comedy and martial arts complex, "Hip Hop Quartet", "Hip Hop Trilogy", "Peerless Master", "Peerless Master Lu Xiaoyu" and other works can be seen everywhere in the shadow of traditional martial arts, and even once opened up the passage between contemporary audiences and the classic Shaw martial arts, the audience through this nonsense adaptation, see the glory of martial arts films in the past.
But adhering to a style is an extremely difficult thing, it is easy to be said to live forever in their own world, this, when the first few episodes are broadcast, it is criticized by the audience, old terriers, line twisting, nonsense plot repetition, etc., once the crusade is continuous, but with the advancement of the plot, the quality of the plot continues to improve, low and high, but also won the love and recognition of the B station audience.
The reason why the audience likes it is that in this seemingly inconspicuous story, there are always some questions that the director wants to discuss with the audience: for example, the firm core of this story - growth, many people may say, this film has not been promoting martial arts and conveying the chivalrous spirit to the audience? Then its core should be martial arts, and indeed, in Lu Xiaoyu's thoughts, worship the wind is innocent, hoe the strong to help the weak, and maintain the firmness of true love and steel in his heart, which is his ultimate goal in life, but when he finds the Great Demon King and sets foot in the jianghu in order to avenge himself, what he feels and encounters is actually teaching himself to grow, the core of martial arts is inspired by small people, and small people are open and hung, sometimes there is no upper limit.
Encountering Qianbingwei, he finally understood that "forbearance" is not fear and incompetence, but great love and sacrifice, Qianbingwei's parents calmly go to death for the sake of their children from harm, just like his parents can endure the humiliation of crotch for him; entangled with Dracula in bloody town, seemingly through "mourning" to discuss death and love, but in the end, what people understand is how to make their hearts more full of life after breaking through love and death; and the confrontation with innocent and lonely old people, And the final battle between innocence town and the demon cult, are all in the sense of inner choice and yearning, when the demon cult used three major tricks of moral kidnapping: the first type of "coming" the second type of "big New Year" and "all for your own good" - is not a "crisis" that can be seen everywhere in life, where there is any big devil, but frustration, despair and separation.
As far as the play itself, it is precisely because of these ambush designs everywhere that the director has painstakingly laid out, and the characters are full of various images: the fish and water love trio in the six doors, the white eyebrows, the thrush, the carved treasure one door and three Ying, as well as the Thousand Guards, Dracula, the innocent lonely old man, etc., everyone brings out the story; the plot is also a twist and turn, reversing and overturning at any time, which makes people unexpected, the little people look at the world, always looking at the small place, but as long as the heart is high, more people can see this.
Of course, the wit can be seen everywhere, but how much the audience understands, it is more casual.
