Then MengMeng stood up.

Yesterday (10), Battle of Red Cliffs finally "started". This blockbuster, which claimed to have invested 800 million yuan and devoted many years of effort to John Woo, attracted many audiences as soon as it was released, and almost every cinema in Nanjing was packed. However, the popularity is high, but the word of mouth is not necessarily high. Perhaps the hopes placed on this film were too high, and many viewers were quite disappointed after watching it. They think this movie has a long plot and funny lines. In addition, the scene that gives people goose bumps almost makes the audience laugh. Yesterday, Xinjiekou Studios and Express invited some celebrities from Nanjing cultural circles to watch the film reviews, and their impressions were basically the same as those of most audiences.

The story is very long, and it is accused of too much water.

"Red Cliff" (the first episode) lasted about 145 minutes, and many viewers felt "a little tired at the end, and the plot was too long-winded". The film is nothing more than talking about Liu Bei's crushing defeat in Xinye, asking Zhuge Liang to unite with Dongwu to resist Cao, and finally defeating Cao Cao in the Battle of Sanjiangkou, which can completely compress an hour. Previously, the director was very proud of such scenes as "When Zhuge Liang met Zhou Yu, the shepherd boy played the flute, Wu Junbing stole the buffalo" and "Zhuge Liang delivered the baby for the mare", but many viewers felt that it was not necessary at all. "Do the talents of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang have to be reflected through these lame scenes?" As for the 90-second sex scene between Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao, which was discussed by the media before, many viewers thought it was unnecessary. Some viewers even teased: "Is it because the director was greatly inspired after watching Lust, Caution that he had to perform some erotic drama to keep the box office?" However, the final finale of "The Battle of the Sanjiangkou" was too time-consuming, and a small-scale war drama actually lasted for more than half an hour. Ye, a famous writer, is a fan of John Woo. He also watched Red Cliff (the first episode) yesterday. When he was interviewed by reporters, he felt that the plot was a bit lengthy. "It's like watching heroes in Beijing Opera. More than two hours is enough to shoot a complete red cliff war. There is no need to leave the history that most China people know as suspense in the lower part. "

Lin Chi-ling did a good job, but his mouth was not good.

The stars in Red Cliff are all full of stars, but the most eye-catching one is Lin Chi-ling, "Xiao Qiao" who got an electric shock for the first time. She came out with a horse and John Woo gave her a perfect close-up. Relatively speaking, her performance is not bad. When dressing the injured Zhou Yu, Xiao Qiao's eyes were blurred under the ambiguous light, and the feeling of congeniality with Zhou Yu was vividly displayed. However, as long as she opens her mouth, the loud Hong Kong and Taiwan accent still makes the audience a little unbearable. In particular, her line named "MengMeng" for the pony really held her back. Therefore, some viewers think that Lin Chi-ling's temperament is too modern, and baby sounds is not suitable to co-star in costume beauty. Comparatively speaking, Zhuge Liang played by Takeshi Kaneshiro is also the focus of the joke. John Woo once said that Zhuge Liang in Red Cliff was a courageous and resourceful young man. Of course, Takeshi Kaneshiro did it, but he didn't do it completely. In a play in which Zhuge Liang persuaded Sun Quan, Takeshi Kaneshiro almost made the audience laugh with small steps when he went to see Sun Quan.

Many viewers can realize that director John Woo really put a lot of thought into expressing each character's personality, but he went too far in many places. For example, Liu Bei sat on the floor in public and knitted straw sandals; Guan Yu teaches children to read My Fair Lady, Gentleman is Good. Zhang Fei simply writes calligraphy or something. He, a famous historian, believes that it is a good thing for a director to highlight the character, but it is a big failure if it is not used well.

Funny lines are the biggest failure.

Compared with the procrastination of the plot, the childish and frivolous lines in Red Cliff are the most unbearable for the audience. About 20 minutes after the opening ceremony, Liu Bei bid farewell to Zhuge Liang, picked up a bowl of white rice and said earnestly, "Mr. Wang's trip to Soochow is a long way, so please eat more." This line inspired the audience to laugh, and then the audience laughed more than 20 times, comparable to Promise and Banquet, which were also "domestic blockbusters".

Perhaps to cater to the tastes of modern audiences, the lines in Red Cliff can be said to be quite funny. In particular, the dialogue between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang about "calmness" even reached the point where people were overjoyed. For example, Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang, "Why do you need a fan in such a cold day?" Zhuge Liang said solemnly, "Because I need to keep calm all the time." After Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang became friends with Qin, Xiao Qiao said to Zhuge Liang, "I haven't played Qin for a long time." Zhuge Liang replied, "I haven't been so calm for a long time."

What many viewers still don't understand is that Xiao Qiao actually named his newborn pony "MengMeng". "He was born in Jingchu. Why is he called MengMeng?" Similarly, when Hua Tuo warned Cao Cao, who was in a daze at Xiao Qiao's portrait, "Prime Minister, there are too many desires and dreams." Cao Cao actually replied, "haven't you heard of it?" Desire makes people young? " It may be infected. Guan Yu concluded when teaching a group of children to read "A gentleman likes to be a gentleman": "Now I can study, and I will have food in the future."

Many viewers said to reporters after watching the movie: "I think such a historical blockbuster should be more solemn and should not make people feel so funny." It can be said that the lines weaken the historical solemnity of the whole play. In a burst of laughter, the quite good selling points in the film, such as the grandeur of the scene and the strength of the cast, were drowned out. "

The stunt scenes are still magnificent.

Although many viewers were full of criticism on Red Cliff, its magnificent scenes still left a deep impression on everyone. Earlier, the producer revealed that "Red Cliff" is expected to be on a par with the Hollywood blockbuster "Troy". After watching the movie yesterday, many viewers thought that a large number of special effects scenes were really one of the gimmicks of the movie. It's really shocking that 2000 warships of Cao Ying are sailing on the Yangtze River. However, some viewers think that many stunt productions are still a little immature. For example, at the beginning of the film, Xia Houdun's cavalry array was synthesized by computer, and the trace of this computer production in the battle of Sanjiangkou was obvious.

The aesthetics of violence can't hide the defects of procrastination.

Relying on the classic aesthetics of violence, John Woo's action scenes never disappoint. His trump card is also vividly displayed in Red Cliff. In the bloody killing, some array methods full of variety and play were added, such as yan zhen of Zhou and Bagua Array of Zhuge Liang.

However, the prolonged violent plot performance has weakened the audience's goodwill towards it. Some viewers believe that Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhou Yu and others should do everything in the killing and sing solo for a few minutes. For example, Guan Yu likes to pose on the battlefield, while Zhang Fei always charges with his bare hands. He ran all the way to meet the enemy soldiers, who were covered in bodies, which was really incredible. Even Sun Quan arranged a protracted tiger fight. Some viewers thought, "Maybe John Woo is balancing the scenes of the big names, but everyone is the same. Without the focus, it is really thankless."

Chibi classic funny clips

When Zhou Yu first met Zhuge Liang, he asked, "Why use a fan in such a cold day?" Zhuge Liang said, "I need to be calm." Since then, the word calm has appeared frequently. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang are playing the piano. Xiao Qiao said, "Zhou Lang hasn't played the piano for a long time." Kong Ming replied, "I haven't felt so bad for a long time." Later, Zhou Yu saw Zhuge Liang slapping some pigeons and asked him what he was doing. Zhuge Liang said, "If I give them a bath and fan them, the feathers will dry faster. I need to calm down. " Zhou Yu replied: "I also need to calm down." The phrase "I need to calm down" may become a new buzzword.

Zhou Yu was training when a soldier ran over and shouted, "No, no, dystocia ..." Zhou Yu ran away. Everyone thought that Xiao Qiao was going to have a baby. Seeing Xiao Qiao holding Zhou Yu's steed "falling to the moon", I was nervous: "Falling to the moon, you have to' hold on' ..." It turned out that the horse was difficult to give birth.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Su followed Zhou Yu to see the dystocia horse. Xiao Qiao doesn't know Zhuge Liang. Lu Su introduced: "It's all ..." After a second's pause, he continued to say "Mr. Zhuge Liang". Everyone laughed.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su went to see Liu Bei. Zhou Yu saw Liu Bei knitting straw sandals, and there were a lot of them beside him. Strangely, are these all woven by Gong Liu? Guan Yu interjected, "Yes, our shoes are all made by our eldest brother. They are very strong. " Liu Bei also modestly responded: "I have been making it up for many years and I am used to it." Is Guan Yu advertising Liu Bei?
