I have been looking forward to the same type of Chinese comic movie since "The Great Protector". I bought a ticket when it was screened last year, but canceled it due to work reasons, and then caught up with the epidemic. . . .
The overall feeling is still very good. If it scores out of ten, one point will be deducted for the rhythm of the movie and one point for the picture and music. . . .
In terms of pacing, the first third of the movie was too fast, and some things progressed too quickly, which made me feel that the plot was unclear when watching it. The pacing is okay later on, but there are still some details that are not perfect. For example, the fortune teller has no life. I only remember that he said that he will die today, and then——————all kinds of scenes of being stoned.
In terms of graphics, the final fight scene made me wonder if my Baidu Cloud online playback was stuck. I obviously went to the cinema and paid to watch it. Musically, there are no particularly amazing songs. I still remember that Tsai Chin's "You Must Be a Child" played at the end of "The Great Protector", which made me burst into tears. I didn't leave until I listened to it.
In terms of plot, although there are some flaws, such as insufficient explanation of the background of the story, it does not hinder understanding of the intention of the movie. The ideas the movie wants to express and the values ??it wants to convey are very clear. (This point is compared to "Big Fish and Begonia").
Several impressive characters:
1. Ding Guo - a person who has his own mission and his own values, and constantly pursues the meaning of life
2. The fortune teller is inanimate - a person who believes that destiny is determined by heaven and has its own true meaning
3. Laughing people - ordinary living beings
4. Xiaodu ——Yin Feng’s words about human nature being good
Several impressive lines:
1. Human world? It's as if this world exists just for humans!
2. The road ahead for you will not be easy either. But some things are more meaningful than life and death.
3. Ding Guo, you did a good job. New Hibiscus flower seeds have been planted. I'll wake you up next time the Bana flower appears. After all, humans are increasingly forgetful.
4. It doesn’t matter whether there are good people or bad people, it doesn’t matter one person or a group of people. The fall of mankind is due to the flower of the other side, not because of the flower of the other side. They may kill each other and die, or they may live in intrigues. Without humans, the world would exist in another form, neither better nor worse. To save or not to save is just a choice.
