It is said that this Chinese film is full of pollution, but I only remember the beauty of prosperity.

When it comes to Cult Movie, many fans who like this taste can list a laundry list.

For example, stanley kubrick's "clockwork orange" contains many elements of sex, violence, blood and brainwashing.

He is regarded as a "ghost talent" director by many fans because of his rambling, swearing, black humor and bloody violence.

Kill Bill

So, aren't there any good Cult films in Chinese movies? Of course there is.

In fact, the rogue director Quentin has seen a lot of Hong Kong-made Cult films when he increased his reading in the video store.

Whether it's reference or imitation, Hong Kong films have already played what he plays.

Today, the shop will introduce a Hong Kong sci-fi film full of Cult flavor-

Monster City

To be honest, the poster design is quite ugly, and everyone should be able to feel the film's sense of time from it.

The film was released in 1992, with Tai Kit Mak as the director, screenwriter and producer.

Speaking of Xu Laoguai, I have to mention his two characteristics.

one is to open a brain hole.

For example, the beautiful woman who was passionately kissing the man one second ago suddenly turned into a spider-man,

Clocks and clocks could fly down from the wall and become killing machines,

There were human motorcycles and pinball machines, and suddenly an indescribable scene was staged ...

The other one, naturally, took pictures of beautiful women.

It seems that divines can show his most beautiful and charming side to the maximum extent in his works.

looks beautiful, and the audience will be blessed with a director who can shoot.

This film is starring Michele Monique Reis, a beautiful woman. At the moment when she looked up in the wind and rain,

I don't know how many men's hearts were hit, and it is estimated that women can't hold it.

Carman Lee, the female partner, has attracted people's attention in this work before she played "Aunt".

In addition to the two goddesses, there are two heavenly kings, Li Ming and Jacky Cheung, in this film.

Plus the guest appearance of "the first martial arts finger in the world" Yuan Baye (Yuan Heping),

Joined by the Japanese master actor nakadai tatsuya (Kurosawa Akira),

On the card, this film can be said to be very powerful.

The story takes place in the future world, where there are monsters besides human beings.

The war between human beings and the monster beast has never stopped. For this reason, human beings have set up a special police team to deal with the monster beast.

A Long (Dawn) and A Ying (Jacky Cheung) are two outstanding members of the special police team.

They have been assigned the task of catching the monster Yuan Dazong (nakadai tatsuya).

On a mission, Aaron meets his lover, Fantasy Ji (Michele Monique Reis), who gave up three years ago.

I gave up the fantasy Ji because of their different races.

Although they were lucky enough to meet again, things have long since changed-Fantasy Ji has become a woman of great wealth.

Therefore, Magic Ji has become the biggest obstacle for Aaron to complete his task.

but in fact, there are good monsters and bad monsters.

Yuan Dazong has been advocating the peace between the monster beast and mankind, and it is his son (Roy Cheung) who has been playing tricks behind his back.

Ghost Daoism studied an addictive poison, named "Happiness", which he tried to use to destroy human beings and control the earth.

Not only that, but he also wants to use the fantasy Ji to hurt Aaron and Yuan Daquan, and finally take Yuan Daquan's place.

At the same time, the SWAT team suspected that there was a mole, and someone was leaking the secret of the SWAT team.

The captain (Yuan Heping) thinks that A Ying (whose mother is a monster) is half man and half beast. Is this really the case?

human beings, the Yuan Dynasty and the ghosts are the same, and the three forces started a scuffle, and the world was in chaos ...

Frankly speaking, this film did not shine in many Hong Kong-made cult films at the end of last century.

The serious injury mainly lies in the thin and slightly chaotic plot.

The film is adapted from a novel of the same name by Japanese writer Kikuchi Hideyuki. As early as 1987, Japanese director Yoshiaki Kawajiri directed an animation of the same name.

The live-action version directly moved the background of the story to Hong Kong.

Although many adaptations have been made, the development of the story is still lacking, and the action editing is a little stiff.

As for the special effects, those who haven't seen them shouldn't expect it. After all, it's a 1992 movie!

I'm very curious. Is this a plastic sheet?

of course, whether a movie is good or not can't be just listened to by one family.

as far as netizens are concerned, the evaluation of this film is also polarized.

there are treads and

there are praises.

the shop thinks that this film is not a classic, but it is not a big bad film.

For example, in photography, the movie surprised the audience a little.

Liu Weiqiang (director of Infernal Affairs), who was still a photographer at that time, took the photography work of this film.

Under his lens, cold and warm colors appeared alternately, and yellow, green, red and blue contrasted with each other, which actually had an indescribable aesthetic feeling.

In addition, this bizarre science fiction film has many classic lines.

"Time is a statement made by people, but why should people be subject to time and prove it with time?"

Ghosts want to destroy mankind by a poison called "happiness". The name of this medicine itself can explain some people's worldview: even if they have to endure the sins of a lifetime, they should crave temporary happiness.

Here, time can be turned back or people can be killed, but happiness is bought at the expense of life.

in other words, time is a killer and happiness is a poison.

such remarks are not classic.

Looking back at the Hong Kong films of that era, it seems that everyone is always shrouded in a sense of anxiety about their own identity, just like the human and the monster beast in this film.

"Her body is full of colors, and her internal organs are steel and concrete. This is our city. We humans are all parasitic animals on her, and we have to fight our own kind every day, as well as the monster beast."

After years of British rule, Hong Kong people's mentality is ambivalent.

On the one hand, we should stick to the greater China in our hearts, and on the other hand, we should accept the changes from western culture. That sense of confusion about our identity has been affecting everyone in Hong Kong.

In fact, in essence, human beings are no different from monster beasts: monster beasts long for peace, and human beings will be ruthless.

whether human or monster, everyone is the product of loneliness in this city.

"Look how lonely this city is. I hope that mankind will no longer need the happiness of monster beast."

Finally, bilibili has a source of juice.
