How to evaluate the movie "Embroidering Spring Knife to Fix the Battlefield"?
In the dark world, eunuchs are rampant, and the flesh-and-blood characters have a wonderful and handsome fight, which makes people return to the era of martial arts.
Of course, Zhang zhen has made a lot of fans again.
After four years of planning, even the audience almost forgot the plot of the first film. Luyang launched the series of Embroidered Spring Knife, but accurately speaking, this film is a prequel to Embroidered Spring Knife and an independent article, so you can watch it directly without watching the first film.
Unlike Embroidered Spring Knife, which was shot at a small cost of 30 million yuan, Embroidered Spring Knife 2 gives people an obvious feeling that the crew is rich!
Clothing and weapons have been upgraded again, and the appearance is very beautiful. Every frame is like a painting.
The scene where I first met in the rain in Yang Mi, Zhang zhen was so beautiful in the movie. Is it as beautiful as Makoto Shinkai's The Court of Words and Leaves?
Similar to the first movie "The Queen Ant", the absolute protagonist of this movie is still Shen Lian played by Zhang zhen, but his brothers survived together and were replaced by Lu He played by Zhang Yi.
Like the first movie, I like workshop director Zhou. In this prequel, Shen Lian's sweetheart is Bei Zhai (Yang Mi), a painter wanted by the Royal Guards. I have to say that Yang Lu is an excellent male dramatist. He is good at filming the blood and passion between men, but he is still weak in the emotional drama between men and women.
Therefore, Yang Mi's role in the film, like Liu Shishi's Zhou Miaotong, is more like a functional role, responsible for making bugs, involving Shen Lian and promoting the development of the story.
In this film, Zhang zhen plays Shen Lian, who is still very good-looking. He licks his blood and, driven by the current situation, stubbornly rushes out a way to survive.
The role of Shen Lian is not an absolutely positive image. He has a very complicated side. In order to survive, he worked as a security guard. Every day, he fights and kills.
But for the sake of the emotional world in Beizhaikou, he will try his best to change it;
Beizhai is sick and has a fever. Shen Lian gave her hot water to reduce her fever. The line says, "It's not hot, I'm cold." This is so gentle, this is a foul.
In the night scene chasing in the rain, the two looked at each other across the alley. Shen Lian gave the book to Beizhai and told her to run away to find her lover, which was also a very touching scene.
So the biggest question in this drama should be why the heroine always doesn't love Shen Lian! ! !
Director Yang Lu once said in a roadshow interview that Shen Lian played by Zhang zhen is handsome, good at martial arts, likes painting and calligraphy, and has a cat. If everything is occupied, it will be too perfect and unreal, so it will make him incomplete in love.
Therefore, in the words of the director, Shen Lian will prepare a spare tire for his old age.
In this play, the role is more functional, and the director skillfully reduces her lines and action scenes as much as possible, so that Yang Mi can be a classical beautiful girl quietly, so that people will not be too dramatic.
Unlike the first travel-stained Zhou, Beizhai is a recluse scholar in troubled times, with the character of an intellectual.
She was sold as a lean horse when she was young. She threw herself into the water to die, and she was stubborn. She is introverted. Although she is afraid of death, she is willing to sacrifice herself to save her friend at the critical moment.
In the last scene of the drawbridge war, Beizhai escaped with the help of Shen Lian Peilun, but came back because he didn't want to escape alone. Although this scene highlights the decline of the writer's IQ, we can still feel Beizhai's heart for Shen Lian and see Yang Mi's progress from Yang Mi's hesitation and firmness.
Lei Jiayin, who lives next door to My First Half Life, can be said to be a surprise of this movie.
For the first time, I befriended Shen Lian, ate snacks, and looked like a smirk. However, the following scene recorded the knowledge in the impermanence book, and immersed the saliva of my subordinates in ink, which instantly brought the role of Pei Lun to life.
Pei Lun went to the monk in Jinghai to investigate the whereabouts of Beizhai calligraphy and painting, stealing the concept, and framed Jinghai's words as "Lindong rebels who collect Beizhai calligraphy and painting are good people" and recorded them in the impermanence book.
This scene is the most horrible scene in the whole film, which instantly presents a world in which black and white are reversed and everyone is afraid of himself.
The former Jinghai, still helping Shen Lian to cover, now looks like a frustrated ball.
Pei Lun's treatment of Shen Lian is also out of friendship, and then the brotherly feelings of these two people, who are both enemies and friends, make Pei Lun's role more complicated and interesting.
This is Lei Jiayin's wonderful performance on the big screen again after The Golden Robbery. Even many Zhang zhen fans plan to give up Zhang zhen and become Lei Jiayin.
Zhang Yi's Lu Zhaowen is also a very popular role. This is also the first time that Zhang Yi made his debut in ancient costume, sketching out an image of a chessman who, in order to survive and change the world, condescended to a treacherous court official like Wei Zhongxian and was reduced to abandoning virtue and doing good with one heart.
Zhang Yi's performance is somewhat different from the past, and it is a completely different character from Shen Lian played by Zhang zhen. Zhang Yi restored the down-and-out side of the little people, bowed to the powerful, and switched to become a pawn of sacrificing everything for the ideal, which made people feel uncomfortable and gave birth to many sighs.
Ding, played by Xin in the film, is also eye-catching, and the image of chivalrous woman is vivid. When her master ordered the killing of Beizhai, she was very entangled and hesitant. Because of her faith and respect for the love in Beizhai, it was from this moment that she began to doubt her master and knew her next fate.
Finally, the edge of the knife cut off the image of still fighting hard, which is also quite bloody and very comic.
Many people know the new Lei Zhi from the map of the Yangtze River. In Embroidered Spring Knife 2: Shura Battlefield, her literary temperament similar to that of Hao Lei was transformed into chivalrous spirit with sharp eyes and martial arts spirit.
Ding Baiying is the master of Jin Yidong and Ding Xiu in the previous work. Her image in this "Shura Battlefield" is striking, and the fighting scene of the apprentice played by Ethan is also clean and neat, with beautiful movements.
Jin Shijie didn't make many appearances, but he continued to play the role of 9-year-old Wei Zhongxian in the first film.
But unlike the first movie, Wei Zhongxian in this movie is glamorous and relaxed, which makes people feel depressed.
At the end, the forbearance and unwillingness at the end of the game linked him to his ultimate fate in the first movie.
There is also an egg at the end of the film, which explains the appearance of your long-awaited eldest brother Ding Xiu (Zhou Yiwei) and connects this prequel with the first one. Maybe the third one is Ding Xiuchuan? After all, this handsome and bloody big brother once circled so much powder.
The Douban score of this sequel is currently 7.7, which may continue to rise according to word-of-mouth visual inspection. After all, the sharp embroidered spring knife and gorgeous flying suit are carefully made in every detail of the movie, and the audience who hope to see a good movie will not want to miss it.
The douban score of the previous work Embroidered Spring Knife is 7.5. Admittedly, this sequel has some shortcomings, such as weak plot logic and far-fetched character motivation, but the whole movie is still full of bright spots:
Exquisite costumes, all kinds of interesting weapons, reference to Japanese comics, places and battle scenes make people enjoy more visually, inject fresh elements into the martial arts movies of the new era, and make people feel very interesting.
It is easy to fight the country, but difficult to protect the family. In the case of declining word-of-mouth of the sequel, Embroidered Spring Knife 2 can still maintain its original word-of-mouth and even increase, which also shows the audience's recognition of this attitude of respecting the audience and making movies seriously.
After all, the audience is not stupid.
