After the storm, this " Hua Mulan " is finally released.
habitually goes to a certain list, and suddenly feels cold. How come
doesn't even have five points? This is the rhythm to beat the street!
Disney invested 200 million US dollars in the masterpiece, Liu Yifei + Gong Li + Jet Li + Donnie Yen's super lineup, and the overwhelming publicity campaign in recent years, the result is so miserable!
thinks that when it premiered, all major social media were full of praise and praise. What's wrong with
, so that the audience can be highly consistent and give bad reviews collectively?
Although the story of "Mulan" originated from the Chinese folk, there are cultural differences and aesthetic similarities between Chinese and Western cultures, but Disney's signature is still there. As long as it plays normally, it won't pass the passing line, right?
stepped back and said that even if commercial popcorn movies are used as the standard, the audience will not be too strict with the strict control of special effects, pictures, and lenses.
However, after seeing the movie posters, an ominous premonition suddenly rushed to his face.
What the hell is this...? Disney has the money to hire the best legal department in the world, and is unwilling to hire a better designer?
is completely the feeling of a costume film 20 years ago, and there is no intention to do it with pirated discs! No wonder the audience masters didn't buy it, and the design fee was up to ten yuan, not more.
Let's start with the picture and aesthetics to see how many mines are still hidden in this film?
The following content involves some spoilers, please read carefully.
Hua Mulan, as the most famous heroine in traditional Chinese culture, after Disney's magic transformation, is like this:
The mirror decal in "Mulan Ci" is yellow, not the face yellow! ! ! If you don't look closely at
, you won't recognize it. This is the international movie star Jet Li , who is clearly the emperor. How can he look like an eunuch chief?
is a goose, on it is just an appetizer, and there is this:
This weird and funny appearance, the face must have ten catties of powder, right? The Japanese geisha traveled to the Chinese costume film made by Disney?
According to historical records, Hua Mulan was born in the Northern Wei Dynasty and lived in the north, but in the film he lives in a tulou in the south...
Is this the director's use of Chinese elements?
Men always have weird beards, and women always wear ten pounds of powder on their faces. They either look ugly or rely on the professionalism of the stylist to forcefully pretend to be ugly.
In short, there is no ugliest, only uglier.
I'm sorry, the whole paragraph just broke down.
Yes, the director proves that he understands China well, understands traditions, and knows how to “close” to Chinese audiences through a lot of weird service methods.
just stuck to his face and roared: "Look, how oriental and traditional we are. No one understands Mulan better than us!" The
producer wore colored glasses, yelling about a non-existent oriental world. With a very stereotyped impression, China News has mixed and matched those specious cultural symbols in an incredible way.
finally turned a simple traditional story into a hodgepodge of weird pictures that can't bear to look directly at it, to satisfy the curiosity of Westerners, and I feel extremely good: See, what a perfect combination!
Although persecution is suffocating, what if it is a good story?
For the time being, holding the picture is not enough, the story is the mentality, then let's talk about the script and the story.
The story of Mulan, we Chinese have been familiar with since childhood, serving in the army for our father, a heroine, and defending our home and country. The story of
has been circulated for thousands of years. Naturally, it has its charm. If you shoot in a proper way, you can always save some reputation, right?
But in the next second, I felt like I was slapped severely: What do you want to say? How come
Eastern traditional stories are mixed with Western witch elements?
Gong Huang (Gong Li) played the witch, the shape is like this:
this eagle claw, this eye makeup, I don't know how Gong Huang was in the mood at that time, whether there were thousands of alpacas running past. In the movie
, the witch was originally the enemy of the heroine, but after a completely illogical change, she wanted to recruit the heroine to her own command. She spoke smoothly and revealed the secret of the prairie cavalry.
then stepped forward and stopped an arrow for the heroine... and then died like that.
has been in trouble for a long time, is Gong Huang a tool man? The plot logic of this series is really infinitely confusing.
Why do the cavalry of the nomads run around with the catapult? Is it to increase their recoil? The emperor
knew that his subordinates had rebelled, so why did he dare to stand against each other?
Why can dozens of assassins turn the capital upside down? Isn’t the qi that
keeps mentioning superpowers? Why is there no sign behind?
Is Emperor Gong an enemy or Mulan's life mentor?
is obviously a historical story. Why does Mulan have a pair of small wings?
The logic of the plot is confusing, people scratch their hair, and the last hope is broken. There are too many slots in the details of
, I won't talk about them one by one. How complete is the story of "Mulan Ci", can't the producers learn from it?
The full score composition is here, why not study it?
The hope is as great as the disappointment. I thought it would be a combination of Chinese and Western cultures, a blend of history and modernity, but this movie is truly astonishing.
I want to vomit, but I don’t know where to vomit. The ups and downs of
on the plot are flaws that cannot be ignored. The logic chain completely collapsed, making it difficult for people to figure out a bit.
Even if the picture is made with an oriental flavor, it can hardly conceal the paleness inside.
Hua Mulan was originally a daughter. She has been in the military camp for a long time. The character and inner drama should be complicated and multi-faceted. There are often many unexpected conflicts. You can design and make the story more attractive.
However, the film is too scribbled and does not take Mulan's true identity as a key factor.
The bravery and perseverance of the warriors on the battlefield can not be shown by turning over a few somersaults and playing a few swords.
The story of Mulan has endured for thousands of years. In addition to the feelings of family and country, there is another reason:
directly tore the taboo topic of feudal society: equality between men and women.
was originally a weak woman, but she concealed her identity, joined the army for her father, and fought on the battlefield. The woman did not let her behave, and she made a career that made men ashamed. One of the cores of the story of
is that the ancients' thinking and fighting spirit for gender equality and identity awareness have been highly recognized in the patriarchal society. The director and screenwriter of
can make a big fuss on this point, and directly raise the theme of the story, but let it go.
From the perspective of the visuals of the picture or the story, this movie is hard to describe.
deliberately mix and match the dazzling cultural symbols into an embarrassing stew to satisfy the strange psychology of certain groups. This is definitely not a single sentence of cultural differences. The reason why
is so badly criticized is because it was originally a place.
really want to ask the producer, how did an open-book exam make this kind of answer? I don't even know where to start with the revision. The adaptation of
is not random, and joking is not nonsense. There was once a teacher who said so.
Now I want to apologize to "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou. It is really not easy for your old man.
