How did everyone spend the National Day holiday? In order not to cause trouble, most people still choose to stay where they live. Also because of masks, everyone still chooses to watch movies as a way of leisure and entertainment.
If you don't like watching National Day movies, then choosing online movies is also a good way to have fun. You don't need to watch any movies with big melody. The funny and thrilling " Oolongyuan " can also add to the festive atmosphere.
In fact, just by hearing the name of "Oolong Courtyard", we know that the movie is a tribute to the earlier series of "Oolong Courtyard" series of Hong Kong films.
, especially Huang Yifei who made a friendly guest appearance as Master Changmei, his face is full of nostalgic Hong Kong film comedy style. With his appearance, he is already paying tribute to the once glorious Hong Kong film years.
Of course, as a thriller and funny film with feelings and characteristics, "Oolong Yuan" is not only a tribute to the early Hong Kong-style movies, but also
For example, in the three thriller exorcism story lines in the film, the first " meaning" appears. In the story of "Zhuang" possessed by a demon, the terrifying bald head shape and spooky dress of the demon reveal the style elements of the early horror Hong Kong films. The second detail of
, the sacrificial story of "The Lady in Red", the sacrificial scene at the first appearance, obviously pays homage to the "red and white marriage" scene that Wu Junru met in the woods in " New Mr. Zombie ".
Whether it's the combination of horror elements or the use of color toning, the gloomy and weird scene instantly reminds me of the frightening moment of "Aunt Cane" played by Wu Junru.
The third detail, the story of the ugly man painting the skin in the film, obviously pays tribute to the thriller "Painted Skin" starring Zhou Xun and .
, especially the scene where the monster and ugly man tore off his face, instantly thought of the terrifying moment of "peeling" of Xiaowei played by Zhou Xun.
And on the basis of paying tribute to Zhou Xun's "Painted Skin", "Oolongyuan" has put a lot of effort into the use of details and props. The ugly man hunted a lot of "handsome men's skin", and the whole room was filled with his hunted and killed. "Spoils of War".
I have to say that the horror atmosphere created by "Oolong Courtyard" in the story line of the ugly man painted skin is even weirder than the plot of Zhou Xun's "skin changing". The fourth detail of
, the plot of "The Lady in Red" attacking A Liang (played by Xia Zhiyuan ) and Sha Keyang (played by Zhao Wenhao ), obviously pays tribute to "A Chinese Ghost Story 3" starring Wang Zuxian .
Under the blessing of special effects, "The Lady in Red" has a long and terrifying attack power, like a domineering nine-tailed fox. The black hair on the screen has become a weapon, and the attack power explodes in minutes. Unable to fight back for a while.
And the details of "The Lady in Red" using black hair as an attack weapon, I suddenly thought of "Xiao Zhuo" played by Wang Zuxian.
In "A Chinese Ghost Story 3", Xiao Zhuo, played by Wang Zuxian, uses long hair as a weapon to strangle his prey. And Fluttershy, played by Lizhi , uses red nails as a weapon.
Of course, "Oolong Courtyard" pays tribute to the classics to varying degrees, although there are many details. However, on the basis of the tribute, there is still no lack of creativity and innovation, which is the meaning and value of the tribute.
"Oolongyuan" tribute is a major feature and point of view, but the story itself also has a certain depth. It is not difficult to see from the three stories, "The Lady in Red", "The Ugly Man in Painted Skin", and "The Master is Lost in Love", that the so-called "demon" is something resentful and unable to do so.To resolve, the mind blinded by hatred will be controlled by the inner demon, making revenge and harming innocent actions. The tragic life experience and awakening of the two male protagonists "Aliang" and "Shakeyang" in the
film are like two bright lights, illuminating the boundless darkness in the hearts of all demons. Just as Ah Liang reminded Sha Keyang, the real meaning of "exorcism" is not killing, but influencing.
let the light of positive energy dispel the darkness in the demons' hearts, let them let go of their hateful obsessions, and clear the shackles of their demons, so that they can be freed and innocents can be safe.
Of course, the film's far-reaching themes are still full of funny and relaxed elements. Especially the lines, really gave me a big surprise! In the
film, "Ai Fei", the first lady writer of Suzhou , chose to join the exorcism team in order to find material for her novel. In order to impress the two exorcists, she did not hesitate to " draw cakes " and promised each other: I can write you as CP, CP is two people doing a lot of indescribable things together!
This line of review is really a surprise!
knows everything, the exorcism CP written by "Ai Fei", two handsome guys with good looks, are simply netizens who like to play this type of CP, the biggest benefit.
And the review of this line also made me see new hope for domestic films. The opening of the pattern and a little progress will also give people more confidence and expectations for domestic films, right?
