Lou Ting Xuan Xie, poignant rainy night, but five robbers with murderous weapons are waiting. A Chinese Ghost Story 3 uses this visual contrast to create an episode that is both tense and exciting for the viewers, but also extremely looking forward to .
However, director Tsui Hark is not satisfied with this little episode, the dreamlike peerless beauty in the pavilion further makes the film's small details contrast again, not only further highlights the peerless beauty and the ugly robber. The contrast is stark, and it sets the stage for the subsequent storyline, which is exciting and fascinating.
related film reviews:
lacks spirituality, director Tsui Hark's solution.
First of all, the reason why A Chinese Ghost Story 3 has lost some spirituality is because the film is heavily commercialized in terms of design, which makes the film lose a lot of humanized details compared to the previous work.
And spirituality comes from human nature. Especially as
is a classic ghost and fantasy film, the effect of spirituality on the whole film can be imagined. The lack of spirituality not only makes part of the storyline of the film more like a farce, but also greatly reduces the artistic value of the whole film.
Of course, this is also the inevitable result of the commercialization of the film, but lack of spirituality does not mean nothing. After all, director Tsui Hark also participated in the shooting of the two previous films. Does he still have his own set of response plans for the quality control of the films under commercialization?
For example: in the filming of Tony Leung and 's scene in which a monk from Shifang entered an inn for alms, I thought it was a meaningless farce, but it turned out to be director Tsui Hark's finishing touch. Through this seemingly uninspired farce, not only the golden Buddha on Shifang was exposed to the public's eyes, but also the greed of human nature was vividly portrayed through the expressions and eyes of the diners. It is precisely because of director Tsui Hark's handling of key details that the film lacks spirituality, but it does not lose its spirituality, and lays the groundwork for the subsequent ups and downs of "people and ghosts".
The cast is missing, director Tsui Hark's remedy.
Secondly, we have to talk about the cast of A Chinese Ghost Story 3. A suitable actor is the soul of a movie, especially a classic series of movies, and it also bears the memory and highlights of the movie. Therefore, a Chinese Ghost Story 3 lacks core actors such as Wuma and Leslie Cheung , it will inevitably make it difficult for the film to perfectly inherit all the highlights of the previous work, and it will inevitably be difficult to surpass the previous work. Not surprising. The director of
, Tsui Hark, should have known this well before shooting a Chinese Ghost Story 3. Therefore, after retaining the original core of some films such as , Wang Zuxian, , etc., the selection of other important roles is not only very cautious, but also very own. idea.
For example: Inheriting the humor of the previous work, but also innovating. As the new male protagonist, Tony Leung is no longer simply funny and simply stupid. From the first meeting with Xiao Zhuo, played by Wang Zuxian, we can clearly see a wise and stupid monk in Shifang. He is not only responsible for laughing, but also inadvertently releases a little bit of both righteousness and evil. ; He not only has to play stupid, but also inadvertently plays the female ghost round and round.
's unchanging heroine Wang Zuxian plays Xiaozhuo, in addition to being unbelievably beautiful, he also boldly tried humorous and ugly elements under the director's suggestion. After the film failed to perfectly inherit the highlights of the previous work, it was an important attempt and remedy. Of course, such attempts and remedies are not enough to make this film reborn, but at least it can be self-contained, which is really rare.
fight scene, director Tsui Hark's fusion and promotion.
Finally, let's discuss the fight scenes in Ghost Story 3. It is indeed difficult to say that Tsui Hark's third installment of A Chinese Ghost Story has reached the pinnacle of ghost-like martial arts films at that time.
However, the fusion and improvement of director Tsui Hark combined with the previous martial arts scenes cannot be ignored. Whether it is the special effects of fighting and martial arts in the film, they are all more peculiar and exciting, and the visual effects are more realistic and shocking.
, especially Yan Chixia played by Jacky Cheung and , is exactly the descendant of Yan Chixia. He and the Ten DirectionsMaster Baiyun Chan masters the wonderful clip of the old demon of Montenegro , director Tsui Hark once again carried out a more eye-catching magic treatment for the magic of "Qimen Dunjia", which not only makes the fighting scenes more exciting and exciting, but also brings the Chinese The creativity of the style magic movie has been brought to the extreme, which was rare under the shooting level at that time.
Therefore, although a Chinese Ghost Story 3 has its shortcomings, it also has a lot of memory points and highlights; although it is difficult to perfectly inherit all the highlights of the previous work, it can also stand on its own and is worth seeing.
