Yangtze River No. 7 movie review

No one has ever given us such dazzling laughter and penetrating tears on the big screen at the same time, until Stephen Chow suddenly arrived with "Yangtze River No. 7", and the light overwhelmed everything in an instant. After Xiaodi and the big hero in you and me looked sideways, we finally followed the familiar figure holding a lunch box on an inconspicuous high platform and once again immersed ourselves in the fairy tale world about life insights.

Over the past twenty years, Stephen Chow has shown us how a disadvantaged young actor gradually grew into a powerful superstar. The ignorant boy who went astray in 1988's "Thunderbolt Pioneer", with a bit of hysteria and youthful ignorance, won the first throne in his life. As time goes by, Stephen Chow has come a long way, and time has come to the beginning of 2008 with a "whoosh". Every subtle look and expression of Stephen Chow in "Yangtze River No. 7" is worth watching over and over again. Because now every time he appears is precious and will be regarded as a classic moment. It's not just that he has only one sword in three years or that his scenes have been reduced, but that he now has the charm and taste of a true superstar. So much so that every time he returns to the film industry, there will be an unparalleled movie-watching craze.

On the screen, he has never failed.

Since "The King of Comedy", Stephen Chow's films have been generally regarded as examples of films that truly touch the soul. So, what he gave us after that was not just laughter, but joy and sorrow, a mixture of joy and sorrow. In fact, this transformation has lasted for more than ten years. We are just accustomed to regard "The King of Comedy" as a watershed in the true sense of transformation. In the new century, Stephen Chow strives to break away from his identity as just a comedian in every new work, and constantly challenges himself to surpass his own abilities. "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu" have achieved his other life ideals, and "Yangtze River No. 7" is another film with a different style, realizing the beautiful reverie of his childhood memories, and opening up the world of warm-hearted movies. The prologue is also a hit and a hit.

The culmination of "Yangtze River No. 7" is the best interpretation of Stephen Chow's now popular video paradise.

Cruel life and pure ideals

In fact, the story of this movie still continues Stephen Chow's usual style, concise and grassroots. "Yangtze River No. 7" still focuses on the bitter life of small people, but this time, it is the most miserable one. The protagonists Zhou Tie and Zhou Xiaodi are a poor father and son who depend on each other. If the lives of the protagonists in "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu" are already depressing enough, then "Yangtze River No. 7" also faces Zhou Tie, who is also a father. Life is even more difficult. It can be seen from the beginning that Stephen Chow picked up his lunch box and slowly moved his eyes towards the desolate city. Stephen Chow's grassroots nature has not changed. What has changed is this era and this world.

The film continuously reflects the cruelty of reality through several incidents, and the protagonist can often obtain more spiritual inspiration from these painful and embarrassing experiences.

"Although we are poor, we don't lie or fight. We don't steal or rob things that don't belong to us..." The words that appear repeatedly in this video may be what Stephen Chow said when he was a child. acquired values. In today's world full of intrigues, Stephen Chow can still stick to such a pure promise of life. This is also his attitude and spirit in making movies over the years. The message Stephen Chow wants to convey in "Yangtze River No. 7" is no longer just about persisting in one's dreams, but calling on the soul to persevere.

The father Zhou Tie, played by Stephen Chow, is definitely an idealist and always looks at the world innocently. However, his "down-to-earthness" did not show up in his son at first, so he took the test paper that his son secretly changed the scores and simply said: "I have known him for so long, he doesn't look like this kind of person? "Every father has shortcomings, and Zhou Tie is no exception. For example, he thinks that attending an aristocratic school is a good idea, and the character setting is that he is a migrant worker who has never studied, so it is logical. Imperfections can better reflect the family affection. valuable.

The entire "Yangtze River No. 7" feels more inclined to be filmed for a child audience.

From the beginning of the film, the perspective starts from the children. The rich and the poor, the high and the low, begin to compete among the children. Therefore, Xiao Di's role is greatly increased, which develops the childlike innocence to a whole new level. The brilliance of this movie is that although it has an unconstrained innocence, when combined with realistic life, it becomes super convincing and entertaining. I believe that not only children, but also many audiences of different ages will watch it. Love this movie very much. Because this is just a simple and clear movie.

Perfect laughter, the unique king of comedy

I have always had the best impression of his comedy. His movies are always hilarious and memorable, so more than ten years ago Stephen Chow was able to quickly stand out in Hong Kong, a place full of talents. In real life, Stephen Chow is an extremely interesting person, so he often adds jokes from life in his movies. Because he is familiar with the audience's need for reasons to laugh, when watching "Yangtze River No. 7", I found that he continues to fill every corner of the cinema with laughter. Laughter of joy.

Most of the hilarious passages in "Yangtze River No. 7" appear densely in the middle of the film, mainly surrounding the interesting things that happened to Xiao Di in school, various classmates, weird-looking teachers, and most importantly What's more, the appearance of "Seven Chai" enlivened the entire atmosphere of the movie. In addition, Stephen Chow also briefly reviewed and reviewed, and the self-replicating "Yangtze River No. 7" brought this nostalgic emotion to the top. So we once again saw Xiao Qiang, Lollipop, Powerful King Kong Legs, Flying Eagle, Tathagata Palm... These series of hilarious scenes brought back to the audience all the wonderful memories of watching Stephen Chow's movies for more than ten years.

Singye's comedy style is becoming more and more dry and humorous, and I personally like it very much, because now he should be more suitable for this comedy style, and his acting skills are becoming more and more refined. In "Yangtze River No. 7", Stephen Chow often makes people laugh just through some dialogues with Xu Jiao. Although the little character he plays still retains his naughty nature, this task is mostly given to the cute one with his tongue sticking out. Xu Jiao and all the little actors who acted in reverse roles. Among them, Xu Jiao's performance is worth mentioning. Her genius performance really adds a lot of points to the film, and her performance style is quite charming like a celebrity.

In any case, Stephen Chow's comedy talent is still invincible and unrivaled today, and it continues to reach its peak.

Technology is outstanding, a new milestone in cartoon special effects

I never expected that in the film, I actually saw the scene where the alien dog "Yangtze River No. 7" took out a treasure box on his body , suddenly reminds people of Doraemon, and instantly brings the audience back to their carefree childhood.

This fluffy and cute puppy was personally designed and modeled by Stephen Chow, which took a lot of effort from the staff. Different from the previous model of action movies that mainly focused on modifying scenes, Stephen Chow made it into a a real creature. This little creature with realistic fur is on par with Hollywood animated movies. Therefore, "Qizai" immediately won the hearts of countless girls when he appeared as a puppy for the first time.
