Time flies, and before I know it, Stephen Chow's " Mermaid " was already six years ago. This work, which was hailed as "repaying Stephen Chow a movie ticket" back then was scolded as a dog.
Countless people think that Stephen Chow has finished his life, and this "Mermaid" is worse than any of Stephen Chow's past works.
But 6 years have passed, but we find that it seems that Stephen Chow's "The Mermaid" was not bad at that time, at least it is much better than the comedy and science fiction movies in recent years.
read it again and found that this work only scored 6.7 points, which is a bit underestimated. Just the details in the play are more than this score.
As we all know, Stephen Chow likes to bury pits in his works and let the audience discover these details.
This is why, Stephen Chow always says: I have filmed a lot of tragedy , but you think those are comedy.
The same is true for "The Mermaid". In this movie, Stephen Chow portrays his overall view, his life values, and his tribute to his predecessors.
First of all, at the beginning of the play "Mermaid", there is an inconspicuous supporting role that runs through the entire play, that is, the female researcher who developed sonar .
It is not difficult to hear from the lines that the female researcher is Japanese, and then she developed the "sonar". She directly crushed the experimental goldfish during the experiment, but she still smiled very happily.
Later, when Liu Xuan and Nolan were deported to the sonar together, it was also the instructions issued by this female researcher. At the end of the film, the person who issued the instructions to hunt mermaids was also this woman.
It can be said that Stephen Chow portrayed this woman to the core. Although she was inconspicuous, she was bloodthirsty and was a person with an abnormal mentality.
The reason why such a character appears is first of all because Stephen Chow has always been a patriot and has a deep hatred for the Japanese.
followed by Japan is the country that hunts the most dolphins in the world, and the story of "Mermaid" revolves around the dolphin base Qingluo Bay. The meaning of Stephen Chow is very obvious.
Secondly, in "Mermaid", the octopus commanded the mermaids and began to "assassinate" Liu Xuan, Shanshan felt a little reluctant, so she asked Liu Xuan to start explaining her behavior.
Liu Xuan's explanation was not recognized by the mermaid, except for the male old mermaid who starred in " Hongjia Iron Line Fist ".
Interestingly, when Nolan brought people to Qingluo Bay, the first mermaid hunters were the one who thought Liu Xuan was saying it was very reasonable.
Stephen Chow always likes to add some human elements to the movies, and " Iron Fist " is about the redemption of human nature. There can be two explanations for his ending: when the hunter comes, the kindness to the hunter is cruelty to himself. Or: When you cannot think independently, you are destined to be a victim.
Of course, the most exquisite detail description of "Mermaid" must be when the Mermaid Master came out of the mountain. The Mermaid Master told the history of the Mermaid clan.
More than 600 years ago, a Mr. Zheng saved their clan. This timeline should correspond to Zheng He who was voyage to the West seven times, but when the camera moved, the camera was shot was Zheng Shaoqiu . Why does
have such an obvious vulnerability? It turned out that when Stephen Chow was filming a supporting role in a movie in his early years, Adam Cheng gave him a lot of help. Even the "Song Bingyi" who officially entered the film industry and had the first line in his career as a supporting role was won by Adam Cheng.
In his subsequent acting career, Adam Cheng helped Stephen Chow more than once, so he placed "Mr. Zheng" here and Adam Cheng, just to repay his kindness and funds.
Looking back, Stephen Chow was scolded for his bad movie "The Mermaid", all of which are full of details. Looking at the current works that combine comedy and science fiction movies, it is really hard to describe.
If Stephen Chow, who made "The Mermaid", had all his talents, then the current directors would have... what level is it?
