The first movie "Alive"
Rating: 9.3
Starring: Ge You/Gong Li/Jiang Wu
Movie review: One of the characteristics of old movies is that they look very real. There are no dazzling special effects, no incredible screenwriter, and no halo of the protagonist. The entire movie tells the story of several major events from the 1940s to the founding of New China through an ordinary person named "Fugui". For those who have not experienced that era, it can be regarded as a historical drama that indirectly understands that period of time. . The only reason for recommendation is "truth". Two sentences come to mind: "The moon waxes and wanes, and people have misfortunes and blessings every day." "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise." Such is life. In short, although there have been a lot of changes in the content of the original work, it does not affect it as one of the best Chinese movies. Therefore, if you haven’t watched it yet, I strongly recommend you to go and take a look!
The second part "The Devils Are Coming"
Rating: 9.3
Starring: Jiang Wen / Teruyuki Kagawa / Yuan Ding
Movie review: I didn't understand it at first, but when I saw the Japanese at the Hongmen Banquet drawing their swords, everything suddenly became clear. This is a "magic realism" story. The "Happy Reunion" section was full of tension. Although I have watched anti-Japanese movies since I was a child, I still felt heartbroken when the child was stabbed to death. It was like someone poured cold water on me. I tell you that the Japanese have never changed, and the military state Socialism has never died down, and our neighbors have always been eyeing us. What's even more rare is that many of the film's ridiculous plots are paired with the terrifying war background, including the BGM of the final massacre of the village, which is the march of the Japanese army, with a sad and helpless black humor. All in all, after watching the film, I discovered that Jiang Wen is not only great at acting, but his directing ability is unsurpassed!
The third "Tengu"
Rating: 8.8
Starring: Fu Dalong/Zhu Yuanyuan/Liu Zifeng
Movie review: This is the best rural realism masterpiece after "Old Well". After watching the film, you will be full of excitement and joy. Angry, a film that makes you so powerless that you want to cry. Here there is no victory of justice over evil, no halo of the protagonist, only cruel reality and dark human nature. The hero who has removed his halo is more powerful, and the impact of this power on the soul is irresistible. It touches on a very youthful and powerful issue, and also reveals the bad nature of Chinese culture, and also shows the distorted moral decay of human nature in the new market economy era. In short, the subject matter is sensitive and reflects the real rural society at that time. It is better than imagined and is a rare domestic conscience film!
The fourth part "On Blood and Seeking Plum Blossoms"
Rating: 7.5
Starring: Aaron Kwok / Spring and Summer / Bai Zhi
Movie review: To be honest, as a restricted film, the highlight of this film is not that it is The "heavy flavor" element of the promotion, the "suspense" does not lie in the murderer revealed from the beginning, but in the intricate "onion-style" splicing structure like Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane" to unfold the characters' past events. , the intricate editing of the timeline shows Weng Ziguang’s skills. And through forbearing yet extreme images, it shows the liberation and redemption of marginalized people. Moreover, the overall camera movement, composition, and editing of the film are quite mature and precise, and full of authoriality. In the end, Chun Xia sang "Baby Sees the World" with a jerky accent and the scenes of being strangled to death were intertwined, which was really great. Weng Ziguang has great potential and is not an ordinary director. I look forward to " when becomes popular again".
The fifth part " Shinjuku Incident "
Rating: 7.6
Starring: Jackie Chan / Naoto Takenaka / Daniel Wu
Movie review: A different Jackie Chan movie, but Er Dongsheng's consistent style, I was beaten 50 times after watching it Feel. It is a very good facial character feature film that can arouse emotions. Logic is not easy to evaluate in a drama like this where many characters have to play complex emotions in a short period of time. Each character encountered many things, and had different branching reactions based on their personality, which seemed to be easy to explain. It can be felt that the screenwriter and director wanted to create an effect that would confuse the audience.For example, Azu's debuffs are filled up in every scene. The character is destroyed, arrogantly betrayed, and finally realizes that he has never come out after seeing the person who destroyed him. This one is "a slight misunderstanding can completely ruin your life." The design really pissed me off.
