How to write the film review of the Chinese Zodiac?

Of the 100 people who watched Jackie Chan's movies, at least 10 1 came for his performance, otherwise Jackie Chan would not have painstakingly added a scuffle to traditional miracles, glass bottles and the Revolution of 1911. But "Zodiac", like many Jackie Chan's masterpieces, is far more than just fighting. Nowadays, fans are becoming more and more professional and often talk about the word rhythm, but China filmmakers who know how to control the rhythm of big movies are becoming more and more scarce. After the big waves washed sand, Jackie Chan was the only one left.

The story of Zodiac is compact, several well-organized action sequences, comprehensive coverage by land, sea and air, different forms of pursuit, moderate relaxation and excellent appropriate limits ensure that the stimulus is always aroused at the most appropriate time. Intermittent literary play is mainly used to supplement the clues of treasure hunting, or to arouse chemical reactions between characters. In the rest of the gag, take a few cold jokes from time to time to adjust the atmosphere, or enhance friendship in difficulties and build a bridge between family and love. As long as it is not compared with 20 years ago, there should be less silence. Be sure to praise the Grand Theft Auto delegation. We can often grasp the information at a glance, and we often have to concentrate on it to keep up. There are not too many boring conversations like "What do you want" and "What do you think" at every corner. You may think some lines are too melodramatic, naive or stupid, but you can't find any extra lines. If there is any regret, it is probably the paragraph about the argument between the British and French Coalition forces in the Paris residence. Although it is necessary to establish values, there is really no dramatic conflict, and there are too many unnecessary bickering in multilingual translation. Perhaps this is one of the internationalization strategies. Think about the countries and languages that have appeared many times, and think about the number of translators in the piracy group.

Many fans lament that the old Hong Kong films are gone, largely because this drama makes people stop for a moment and there are surprises every second. Literary drama and martial arts drama are mutually green leaves, and there is no rigidity in talking for a while. Many Hong Kong films have wonderful fighting scenes, but literary dramas are relatively boring. Looking at them for many years, you can only dance to find memories. But Jackie Chan's excellent works can be appreciated repeatedly from beginning to end. Plan A, never lose, Hongfan District and who I am are natural as a whole, and the literary drama is also very interesting. Only by following the plot all the way can fierce confrontation capture people's hearts. Time has passed, and it is naturally impossible for "Zodiac" to regain the old Hong Kong film mode, but the script is still a standard assembly line, polished and exquisite, and does not touch abrupt edges and corners. Many blockbusters look down on assembly line technology and insist on starting a new stove to show their personal style. As a result, the finished product is full of self-righteousness, nagging and mystifying, all of which are a little feed to nourish the sleepy audience. Jackie Chan's costume films and war films also have this tendency, so they didn't sell well, but as soon as he returned to his best action adventure comedy, he brought his decades of advantages to the extreme. The first NG at the end of the Chinese Zodiac is sad. Jackie Chan's physical condition is getting worse and worse, but even if he doesn't go on stage one day, he can still become an excellent action director with his experience in script arrangement and scene scheduling.

New Year's film is a unique screen culture in Hong Kong. Jackie Chan also made a New Year's film in the 1990s, but unlike Huang Baiming and other stars, he took a single-handedly adventurous route, catering to the audience's mentality of "watching big dramas during the New Year". Now that Jackie Chan is old, it is becoming more and more difficult to support himself, and Tom? Cruise's "Mission Impossible" pays more and more attention to teamwork, and also asks the younger generation to play group drama. In the atmosphere, Hong Kong films close to the golden age-a group of people with the same goal, their troubles are intertwined. After unremitting efforts, all the problems were solved at the last minute, the treasure returned to China, the wicked were rewarded, the husband and wife were reconciled, the family was restored, and they were very harmonious and happy.

Jackie Chan's action movies are clean and violent, and there are no vicious villains. They only have despicable people who are in power for a while, but they are hateful and pitiful, or brave and mindless thugs, who are always beaten or teased by Jackie Chan with fists and props. Many works have no real villains at all. Hollywood can't grasp this appropriate boundary. The bad guys in Rush Hour are too mainstream and dark, and the agents next door are too cartoon. As the "Zodiac" shows, the Jackie Chan-style confrontation between good and evil, which is deeply loved by the audience, is extremely tragic, but it rarely resorts to violent killing. Although grinning, it is not as cruel as life and death. It is not uncommon to help each other and turn enemies into friends. Dazzling physical confrontation is to put Jackie Chan, his allies and opponents in a carefully designed and complicated environment, and concoct a vaudeville war without physical disgust through clever action arrangement and prop use. From the era when there was no censorship in Hong Kong to the era when a large number of films were exposed to blood, perhaps only Jackie Chan's signature films could make parents deeply agree that fighting and killing people could not be equated with violence, so they could take their children safely. It's just that we waited a little long this time. The last one that fits this feature is Project Baby.

Because of Grand Theft Auto's high-tech theme, the Chinese zodiac shows a lot of high-tech, which is very rare in China's movies, but we saw it when we watched Mission Impossible. Therefore, Jackie Chan is purely the attitude of the Qing emperor, and only regards these foreign things as a strange skill that makes people open their mouths in a second or two. Agility and desperation have not been concealed. As he said at the end of Jackie Chan's stunt, high technology is good, but I still like real kung fu. Of course, it's hard to climb to the top at this age. From the beginning, the amazing roller skating, skydiving and dock fighting were neither too hot nor too cold, and it was not until the high-tech jungle lost its treasure that it returned to the "Eagle Project" style of "multi-way melee, three women fighting together". Jackie Chan's magic power has also been disturbed, and he is at a loss. The compact joy is almost equal to that of that year. One enemy of the fake warehouse is Jackie Chan's all-round energy. He jumped up and down in the reinforced concrete room, and the walker was ashamed and fell everywhere. French windows and camera poles are not absent, which is enough to be included in one of the most wonderful fights of his career. Of course, if you are a die-hard dragon fan, you can still pick out your dissatisfaction. For example, the trick of pumping boxes on the soles of your feet belongs to fried cold rice. For example, the cover is not fancy enough, and some clips are a bit messy. But who can ask Jackie Chan, 58, to be equal to those who are 38 or 28?

We can all understand that after years of crushing, Jackie Chan is the only one who is never old and continues to challenge his younger self ambitiously. We thought that the warehouse war was full of blood, but Jackie Chan thought that contentment was far from enough, and he would give up only if everyone was dumbfounded. So at the climax, he flew into the screen in the clear sky, like a savior from the sky, desperate to the ultimate goal. When JC rolled down a mountain hundreds of meters high, his neck was twisted, his feet were dislocated, his face was scarred, his eyes were bloodshot, his vision was blurred, his knees trembled and he fell to the ground, but he still tried his best to search for the shadow of the bronze head. This is an extraordinary interpretation of the desperate spirit of the increasingly scarce film industry in China, and it is also the best secret of Jackie Chan's decades of glory: he knows what the audience wants, and he always gives them more. Even the opponent can't help but praise: you are a pure man. In recent years, Jackie Chan has repeatedly offered the stunt of "the last action movie", but his attitude is ambiguous every time. When we curse, he is stealing happiness. This sly old tough guy knows that countless people are expecting him to break his word.
