gambling films were once an important type of film. However, as Hong Kong films move northward, this subject matter has basically declined due to the issue of censorship standards. The trilogy of "The Wind and Cloud of Macau" directed by Wang Jing belongs to the category of "Living to Remain". The level of quality is such that his old people can "laugh out their teeth". Fortunately, the Korean film "Lao Qian" retains the basic quality for this subject.
In 2006, the first "Lao Qian" was released with a Douban score of 7.5. Because of its unique style, it became a sought-after object for movie fans for a while. This movie has a large scale. The use of beauty, blood and violence elements is very "powerful". It combines these elements organically, and the story of deception is indeed ups and downs. It once became a masterpiece among gambling films.
In 2014, "Old Thousand 2: The Hand of God" was released, with a Douban score of 7.1. Because of the first "Mountain Retreat", fans have very high expectations for the second. Although the second part still maintains a high level of quality, it is no longer as good as the previous one, both in terms of plot rhythm and the use of highlight elements. Even the heroine Shin Se Kyung, who was born in 1990, is really not as stunning as the heroine Kim Hye-soo who was born in 1970 in the first movie.
In 2019, "Old Thousands 3: One-Eyed Jack" was released, and it has recently landed on the streaming media platform to meet with global audiences. However, this movie currently only scored 6.2 points on Douban. This achievement can indeed reflect its true quality level. The super "beauties", "gambling" and "deception stories" maintained in the predecessor of "Old Thousand" are all made the same by the third sequel.
In "Old Thousands 3", Cui Youhua, born in 1985, is the leading actress, and Lin Jiyan, born in 1990, is the female second. The film still deliberately learns the use of the "beauty" element in the previous film, creating some unnecessary "applause for love" scenes. In the first part of "Old Thousand", women's beauty and even Xiangyan are all in their own style and serve the character creation. In the third part, the heroines have become vases, whether serious or not. For fragrant and fragrant, obviously it can only be smelly.
In terms of gambling, the first two parts also talk about basic probability and other issues, and how to get a greater probability of victory at the gambling table. Obviously, "Lao Qian" is a movie that respects the facts of gambling. At least in the activities of gambling, it does not create excessively mythical characters. On the other hand, the third "Lao Qian" has already done nothing on the specific issues of gambling, and even the heroes have lost their ability to play cool when gambling.
And the third "Old Thousand" that makes movie fans most dissatisfied is the unjustified story. These gambling films are all scam films made under the name of gambling, and the logic of the story is particularly important. Both of the first two parts can be justified. But this third part is so "light" that there is no need to pursue the logic of the story. The whole story narration of "Old Thousand 3" is more like a child's house, and the logical connection between the front and back cannot hold up the basic scrutiny.
, with such a script design, the finished work is more like the actors’ "end of force". The director deliberately creates a low and introverted story style, but presents a dry and weak story. This kind of contrast is even more suspicious of farce. Even a large number of characters have not been rationalized, especially the one-eyed character, although it appears in the title and played a good role as a "big boss" in the first half, but after the half, it turned out to be weakly like A little chicken was directly killed by the negative character. According to
, Korean movies have not done anything less about the matter of the dog. "Old Thousand 3" is really regrettable.
