Recently, the good movies have been continuous, and I have watched a lot of good movies, and I will recommend one to you today.
"Heroic Seven Dragons", 2016 edition,
A while ago, it was released in the United States, and now there are already resources on the Internet, and those who want to see it can find resources online.
The film is a remake of the 1960 film of the same name, "Heroic Seven Dragons",
Directed by Anthony Fuqua,
Co-stars Chris Palat, Matt Pomo, Vincent Donofeo, Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Kem Gigandae, and Lee Byung-hyun.
Because it is a remake, the film has made certain adjustments and changes in the storyline.
The 1960 version of "The Heroic Seven Dragons" is based on Akira Kurosawa's classic film Seven Samurai.
It tells the story of a group of robbers who harass a small village in Mexico every year, and the elders of the village look for highly armed gunmen to defend the village.
In contrast, the story of the 1960 version of The Seven Dragons is more similar to that of the Seven Samurai.
It's all about a gang of robbers who often invade a village, and then the elders of the village try to find someone with high martial arts to defend the village.
Both films are also classics,
Especially for Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, there is no doubt that it is one of the classics of film history.
For Akira Kurosawa's films, the film that shocked me the most was probably "Seven Samurai"
At the end of "Seven Samurai", watching the peasants revel in their unbridled revelry, the leader of the samurai, Kanbei, could not help but sigh: "This is also a defeat... It was not the samurai who won, but the peasants.
When I saw this paragraph, my heart seemed to have received a strong impact, and the shock of my heart was difficult to speak.
I can't help but feel that Akira Kurosawa's grasp of human nature is simply too precise, and human nature has been restored to the greatest extent in Akira Kurosawa's films.
And this time," "Heroic Seven Dragons" in the remake, in addition to having a relatively large difference from the original story,
The depth of the film is also far less than that of "Seven Samurai",
However, it's still a movie worth spending two hours watching, and it's more than enough to pass the boring time.
The story of the new version of "Heroic Seven Dragons" is like this,
In a small town in the American West, a fierce capitalist took a fancy to a village and decided to dig a gold mine in the village.
Then he took a group of younger brothers to the village, saying that the villagers would give him the land to open mines, and after three weeks the peasants did not agree, they wanted to wash the village in blood, and killed several people before leaving.
And I didn't expect the capitalists to run into hard stubble,
Because he killed a man, and the man's wife is very powerful, it can also be said to be very grandfather.
Then the woman took all the belongings of the family to find someone to defend the village and avenge his man,
Then I got Daniel. Washington plays the sheriff,
He helped the women assemble a small group of seven men to resist the invasion of the capitalists and his men.
In the end, the number of people who survived was the same as the number of people in "Seven Samurai" and the 1960 version of "Heroic Seven Dragons",
But the peasant at the end is much better than the peasant in The Seven Samurai. The three heroes did not fall lonely, and rode away in the dust, looking more free.
Given that many people may not have seen it, there will be no spoilers.
Tell us why I recommend this movie to everyone,
First of all, the film is about the story of the American West, and in recent years we have rarely seen original Westerns, so "Heroic Seven Dragons" is worth watching.
In addition, the western scenery in the film is very beautiful, how to say it, it is like adding a layer of filters to the picture of the Western we have watched before, and it is really not an exaggeration to say that it is picturesque. Such a beautiful western scenery should also be seen.
The film's lead actors Chris Palat, Matt Pommer, Vincent Donofeo, Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Kem Gigandae, Lee Byung-hyun and others are very tough, so the movies must be seen.
The most important point is the scene about the capitalists leading people to attack the village, the filming is simply amazing, up to ten minutes of battle scenes, the director edited the story picture smoothly and freely, watching the blood boiling.
Seven martial arts masters and a group of poorly trained peasants beat the bandits through traps set in advance and excellent cooperation. Although it has a bit of a sense of drama, it is not possible to reach this level in China, so because of this point, we must also look at it.
Well, that's basically what I want to talk about, if you want to see it, find resources to see it.
