Congratulations to Director Zhang Yimou! With the skill of Golden Lion and Golden Bear, he successfully ranks among Hollywood second-rate monster blockbusters! The film is tense and orderly. According to five square teams and six stages, the Great Wall, Ming Arrow, Kongming Lantern, drum band, gunpowder and other cultural relics of ancient Chinese civilization were displayed. The scene is spectacular, the atmosphere is warm, and all the guests are dressed up to attend! Special effects and scenes are really lively and expensive, which can be called a visual feast for people, mountains and animals! It is really a second-rate monster blockbuster with regular plot (good rhythm, at least no procrastination), simple characters and lively and gorgeous special effects.

The film "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou uses "The Great Wall" as the title, which is neither appropriate nor authentic. No matter how we evaluate the Great Wall in history, it has certain symbolic significance and cultural connotation in China today. The content of the film has nothing to do with the title. In popular terms, it is called "selling dog meat by hanging sheep's head", and in serious terms, it is called "deceiving the world and stealing names". I really can't think of a good name. I might as well translate The Great Wall into "high wall" or "gluttony", or even use the ridiculous and naive "trust". I shouldn't steal the name "Great Wall"! Because be honest!
For the film itself, I want to use the concepts of Mr Ishikawa and Mr Dai Jinhua to describe it. First, this is a game of playing monsters organized by the aesthetics of "group gymnastics"; Secondly, this is a visual carnival after eating "science and technology aphrodisiac". At the beginning of the film, I thought I had confused the Great Wall in China with the West in the United States, and mistook the Indian for the Khitan. This is obviously a Hollywood western! Only when I saw the towers, troops and battle scenes of the group parade, did I dare to believe that this film was "arranged" (not directed) by Zhang Yimou.
After watching the film, I can't help but question the role of the director in the film creation process. Screenwriters, producers and starring actors are all foreigners. They used simple plots and grand scenes to prove that these two white-skinned thieves, gangsters or swindlers who tried to steal black powder also knew "trust". People like us can fight for the people, the collective, the country and our beliefs, and another liar like a westerner must be killed. Hollywood's goal has been completely achieved. And what did Lapekan, as a producer, gain? Grades? Performance? Box office? Perhaps, only a full face of saliva and chicken feathers all over the floor.
The hostess chose a vase, which has made people speechless. The performance of the male partner is rigid and artificial, which is completely irritating. This is a work that deprives China actors. I really feel unworthy for Zhang Hanyu, Andy Lau and Eddie Peng Yuyan Swift. It's the first time for me, the kindest film critic, to spit out a film so mercilessly. It's not directed against director Zhang Yimou, but I respect him very much. The evaluation criteria all stem from his successful experience before Hero. At the same time, I am deeply worried that if director Zhang leaves computer digital technology and photoelectric effect, will he still make movies? !

Spent a lot of manpower, a lot of money, a lot of face, and what was saved was acting. It's a pity but let it go, money, he will definitely earn it back.

After playing such a big game, so many people died, so much blood was shed, and so many pictures were dug, just to get a Jing Tian ... It was a fierce battle. Anyway, it's good for everyone to get what they want. If you have time to rehearse the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games again, it's definitely not the right time to tell a story out of breath (lack of coherence). The set of stalks set by the Zerg in Ender's Game is nothing more than the so-called alien species problem (seeking common ground while reserving differences, hahaha). Compared with Thirteen Women, this time China has the main position of the actor (but still has no right to watch), and finally it is a structure of "help", "cooperation" and "trust" rather than "salvation". Who said it wasn't a muscle show? Therefore, the facts of the film are far more interesting than the film itself. 4 points are all about practical results. It is self-defeating to talk about the rationality of the story and acting skills with this kind of film.

Commercial films are the crystallization of collective labor. Lamin's soundtrack, the monster designed by Weita Company and the special effects of industrial light magic are all highlights that should not be erased. English lines have also reached a medium level in Hollywood. What belongs to Zhang Yimou is red and green, dramatic war scenes, glass paintings, group gymnastics ... everything that makes people feel sick. There are cults that worship the city walls in The Giant. I think Zhang can be their leader, lead his so-called "Wuqinxi Legion" and guard the "happiness of livestock" within the city walls. Of course, after all, it's still a Jing Tian movie, as evidenced by the fact that Zhang Yimou stopped filming his favorite thief.

It did cost a lot of money, but so what? Boring stories, empty feelings, empty shouting enthusiasm, no sense of rhythm at all, and overall childish, as if the little boy was playing with his colorful toy soldiers. I feel so empty after reading it that I can't spit it out. I hate the setting that killing animals is the enemy. The ending song is very artificial, which is very film-like.

The production of a-level Chinese and American co-productions with B-level content and form is a great step to show the visual wonders. The play is not considered comprehensively, but cautious and dry.

Chen Kaige and his Taoist priest who went down the mountain were not alone. Everyone was wrong about Li Rengang and Tianshi, but the hero, the house of flying daggers and the golden flower in the city were really wronged.

It fully proves that it is totally meaningless for China's films not to choose actors to do special effects.

Old movie lovers in Europe and America, DVD collectors.
Don't talk to me about the completion of Hollywood assembly line works for westerners. Is the degree of completion wrong? There is still a long way to go in co-production. Buddhist teachers introduced World War II Z, starship troopers and Superman into Olympic aesthetics. If "Golden Flower" is a test before the Olympic Games, then "Great Wall" is an exercise after the Olympic Games. There is too much useless work to attract national resentment. The American monster movie Monster is the selling point, and the Buddhist monster movie star is the selling point. I still don't know how to hide the information of monsters, and I am eager to show my true colors. If those China elements and local color matching can also be called exporting China culture, China films and co-productions are really disappointing. Sister Jing has made progress. She has held up half the sky in the legendary monster movie, and she will appear in king kong 2 and Pacific Rim 2 to show that she is old and black, and black films are not black.

This film vividly tells us that an old director who doesn't realize how bad his creativity has become, if he doesn't retire in time, the consequences will be terrible, and even the strong post-production will be ruthlessly destroyed. If we shoot according to the standard Hollywood commercial film honestly, it may not be so bad, but the form that a director added to hinder the normal narrative process is outrageous, and the color cancer that has been criticized for many years has multiplied. I don't know if there is a problem in communication with the screenwriter team or what other reasons have caused the terrible plot. Finally, this film, which could have become a standard visual spectacle film, inexplicably became a group gymnastics review at the opening ceremony of a sports event, an annual promotional film of the Confucius Institute headquarters, and a local film.

Disappointed. Western-style special effects monsters are incompatible with Zhang Yimou's large-scale team gymnastics, as if they were performing on stage while preparing for the war, more like a freak who failed to integrate Chinese and Western cultures. The setting of the fifth army is purely a decoration, and I don't understand the significance. The so-called Hollywood classic script mode is actually rotten stalks and routines. The story is boring and the rhythm is not good. Don't dump the actors, whoever plays is also a bad film.

The big scenes are magic movies and monster movies, and the elements of oriental curiosity are left with embarrassment. The bright and clean clothes of colorful teams violate the basic rules of excellent Hollywood production.

The characters are extremely flat, and a large number of stars are used to enrich the picture, but most of them have become cannon fodder. Scenes such as fierce fighting in fog, people, mountains and beasts are considerable, but the overall narrative is completely sloppy, straightforward and full of bugs, and visual stimulation has become the only attraction. A feature film that relies only on scenes and bitter rivals and almost cancels the core of effective narrative is of limited value. If we want to further discuss the so-called cultural issues between East and West, it will be even more endless. This situation is different from the discussion about "red lanterns hanging high" and "chrysanthemum beans" in the 1990s. At that time, "pseudo-folklore" had a clear direction and a strong cultural appeal. Today's wonders are 100% capital games, which have nothing to do with the "view" itself.

A bunch of Hollywood screenwriters created an Oriental Independence Day, and the rotten stalks of 20 years ago are used now, which is another connection with Hollywood popcorn. From the perspective of the West, it is estimated that the audience in China are really cheated in buying tickets. Chinese subtitle translation has a strong sense of modernity, and it is often self-developed, which makes people play too much.

Don't talk to me about industrial standards, or, don't insult industrial standards, as if a bad script is not a fake! Yes! Rotten! It's not flawed, it's not unsatisfactory, it's rotten! Repeat after me! Go ashore! Rotten! It's just that this membrane with grooves in every pore really satisfies my bad taste in all directions. Why don't others know that I laughed from beginning to end, and all kinds of classic clips were in a mess: the long mirror image "The Road of Fury" climbed all the way from the viscera of the Great Wall, and there was a fire-breathing guitar in front of people's heads, and I had a nunchaku drummer possessed by Jay Chou; The long palm of the leader of the Great Wall Military Region reminds me of the picture of the Great Hall in "I am not Pan Jinlian" a while ago; And the commander of the military region went straight to the front, taking the initiative to devote himself to the soothing expression in the irrelevant reconnaissance mission, and finally made the whole film Matt's bitterness get a profound and reasonable understanding-"Your ya's lunch is over, what about me? ! "Even the seven-color light of the glass on the tower has lost its sacred significance in the church of the flower of war, but it has contracted a kind of rainbow equality in Lu Han's affectionate look back! In short, as long as you don't take this film seriously, you can try to play it by yourself, and you will have a good time.
As for some left-wing film critics, they will raise flags and denounce the capital for creating cultural waste. Some Buddhist film critics will talk about the Belt and Road and cultural export from this film. Some film critics with ulterior motives will seize the grand occasion of Beijing and find a little political metaphor of Zhang Yimou. That's their way of playing. As long as everyone is happy. Finally, insert a hard and wide: Rao is the dark performance and 3D lighting brightness of Dolby Cinema. I can't find a flaw in such a large close-up of this No.1 film, which shows that people's skin is really good. Who is this sentence for: A. Dolby Cinema; B. this movie number one; C. an eye drop; An English training institution.
