This is the first time Jackie Chan made a costume movie.
Of course, different people have different opinions on the effect of costume modeling.
A few days ago, "The Myth" was broadcast on 6th. After watching the song, "The Beautiful Myth" kept echoing in my mind. The theme song of the movie
is so touching that many people commented that "the movie song surpasses the movie itself".
Although looking at the movie fifteen years ago with current standards, the sceneries are a bit rough and outdated, but the story itself still has a lot of remarkable points.

He was injured for her, and she healed him. He was frozen for her night vigil, she hugged him tightly and warmed him with her body temperature. He used a helmet to catch water for her, she danced for him, a dance only for him.
can be trapped in each person’s identity and mission, and the two cannot go far and fly. So she promised "I live only for you."
Since then, she has entered the palace as a concubine, and he remains a general.
Later, the emperor was old and he was ordered to take the elixir of life. At the time of parting, she stopped him and asked him to return safely, and he said, "Meng Yi pledged to stay the same until death."

02 Modern archaeologists' pursuit of dreams
Jack is an archeologist who strictly observes professional ethics. He is always awakened by the same dream. In the dream, there is always an ancient princess with a refined appearance.
In order to understand the mystery of dreams, he began a fantasy adventure.
With the help of his friend William, who is passionate about studying supernatural energy, he moved from the Disha Temple in India to the capital of the Qin Dynasty in Xi'an, step by step approaching the truth.
Finally, he reached the sky above Lishan by helicopter and ventured into the waterfall in the canyon.
03 Convergence of ancient and modern Tiangong, the dream is real
Jack after entering the waterfall was stunned by the scene in front of him, everything was exactly the same as in the dream.
The ancient princess in the dream, dressed in white, appeared in front of him alive, tenderly, calling him "Meng Yi", pulling him to dance in the suspended palace.
Yu Shu, who has been waiting for thousands of years, thought she had finally waited until General Meng Yi, who kept her promise, came back to find her.
At that moment, the ancient Meng Yi and the current Jack merged into one. The ancient Meng Yi could finally smile knowingly, and now Jack finally solved the mystery in his mind.
On the other side, William and Mr. Gu, who smuggled an academic tomb, used high-tech equipment to tailFollow up to this point.
Mr. Gu wants to take over the suspended palace by force and become an emperor who lives forever. Greedy William pried out the jewel on the mechanism, the palace suddenly lost its buoyancy, and the mercury plummeted from the air.
Tiangong is about to collapse, Jack wants to take Yu Shu away, but Yu Shu already knows that Jack is not the Meng Yi she is waiting for.
Farewell. Jack used the buoyancy that hadn't completely disappeared through the tunnel to pop out of the cave, and fell into the deep pool of the canyon.
04 Jade Shu’s waiting is endless for thousands of years
Although the film is about the love of two people, it is obvious that Yushu is more distressing.
On the way back to the imperial capital, she used "I will no longer call you general" to express her intentions, simple and lovely.
She sighed outside the imperial capital, "Why do we try our best to survive, but still be the slaves of fate", very pitiful.
She enters the palace after listening to him, but her heart is like dead gray, her body is like dead wood, and she no longer smiles. The painter
was ordered to paint her portrait because she was expressionless and unable to communicate. He arrived just then, and when she saw her sweetheart, she smiled and was shocked.
She saw a man exactly like Meng Yi in the floating palace. She looked at his arm first and confirmed that she had the same scar as Meng Yi, and she cried with joy. When
is destroyed, Jack wants to take Yushu away.
Thousands of years ago, Yu Shu asked Meng Yi to do this. But at this time Yu Shu did not want to leave.
She burst into tears, and said disappointedly, "You are not Meng Yi, I will not leave, I will wait for Meng Yi to come back", then stood up and floated into the darkness of nothingness.
The movie lens at this time is from Yu Shu's angle.
She watched as she was getting further and further away from Jack, the collapsed stone fell in front of her eyes, and the floating palace was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Everything that is broken before her eyes is just like her broken heart.
She is eagerly looking forward to one day Meng Yi can come back to find her. But the truth is so cruel, the person she loved died a thousand years ago, and her thousand-year wait is finally empty.
Memories of living and dying with Meng Yi in just a few decades are the best memories in Yu Shu's life.
Her waiting for Meng Yi for a thousand years is so timeless and magnificent, because Meng Yi is the eternal and only love in her heart. What is the myth of
?
"The Myth of Beauty" sings like this: "Only love is the eternal myth of vicissitudes of life" .
Another point must be mentioned. In the film, Jackie Chan also expressed his attitude towards cultural relics through the mouth of the character:
said well.
