Yin Yang Road 4 Walking with Ghosts movie review

The fourth film "Walking with Ghosts on the Yin-Yang Road" was produced by Fang Yongsheng in the first two films and transferred to Huang Baiming's Dongfang. Huang Baiming also stepped in the middle, playing the role of the boss who cheated on his subordinate Tang Baoru. The whole drama extends the location to the Philippines, and is developed from the intertwined stories of three groups of characters. They all took the same flight from Hong Kong to the Philippines. Three of them, Lei Yuyang and others, were cowards. They tried to buy sex in a foreign country, but the result was really... encountered a ghost; Hong Tianming, a courier company employee, was assigned to send the ashes back to the girl's home, but encountered a romantic relationship between humans and ghosts; Louis Koo and Sun Jiajun, a young couple who went to the Philippines for vacation, but because of their feelings for their spouses Love breeds doubt which breeds tragedy. The style of the whole film is not very unified, and the first part was shot in a gimmicky way, but the last two parts were shot well.

The "Yin Yang Road" actually talks about "persistence in love", which is the most concentrated in terms of theme: the "extramarital affair" branch line in which Huang Baiming and Tang Baoru guest-starred, is not only a reference to the story in the first film An extension of "Yin Yang Road", it also serves as a counterpart to Louis Koo and Sun Jiajun, a newlywed couple on their honeymoon. At the same time, the first story of the film, about two young Filipino lovers whose "ghostly love is not over", is precisely based on " "Keeping love and commitment" contrasts with the newlyweds' "trust and betrayal of love". "Encountering Ghosts with Girls", performed by three live actors Lei Yuyang, Zhang Daming and Li Yaoxiang, is an annotation of "Lust and Caution". Including the two characters U2 and K2 of Miss Chinatown in the tour group, the relationship as a whole is metaphorical. The three stories echo each other either explicitly or implicitly.

A prominent feature of this film is the development of the "soft porn" elements contained in the first film, and the use of foreign actresses to "sell their lust", but the suspicion of newlyweds and the temptation to face it The psychological portrayal of the film is still relatively delicate. Louis Koo and Sun Jiajun played the subtle mentality between husband and wife very naturally and vividly. There are actually no ghosts in this scene, but it creates real psychological horror, with a sense of surreality similar to that of the Western films ROSEMARY'S BABY and DON'T LOOK NOW. The story of the young Filipino couple, coupled with the melodious and sad song, quite naturally changed the atmosphere from horror and supernatural to romantic and tragic.

This film uses Teresa Teng's "Don't Pick Wild Flowers on the Roadside" as the soundtrack for the last three living treasures being chased by a group of ghosts, highlighting the absurd and funny nonsensical style, and the comedy effect is excellent.

The nightmare on the plane begins with a tour group traveling to the Philippines. There are mainly three groups of people and three stories. The producer of this film, Huang Baiming, made a cameo appearance in the fourth story. He took Xiaomi on a trip, but he didn't know that the places he stayed in were all haunted hotels, and he had to escape and check out desperately to complete the scene. The trio of Lei Yuyang, Zhang Daming and Li Yaoxiang encountered ghosts because of their lust. The ghosts imitated the classic zombie method and took a blunt spoof route. The screenwriters are Zeng Guoci and Liu Xiaowei, and the director is Qiu Litao. The story of courier ashes raised a lot of doubts at the beginning. A strange gentleman was accompanying him all the way. Some people may not have guessed that he was actually a ghost. The male ghost and the female ghost, the identity owner of the ashes, just wanted to reunite in their hometown, which gave rise to a lot of lingering and pathos that should not be seen in the human world. This film uses many Filipino girls to shoot nude scenes, and the frequency and boldness are the highest among the previous seven films. There is a trap in this story. The audience thought it was the ashes that caused the female ghost to travel all the way, but the identity of the local man was actually ignored. He had appeared in the sun. There was no dogma in the rules of ghosts. The whole story was full of sentimental foreignness. The mood is the most outstanding part of the film. Lovers eventually get married, even in the underworld. Louis Koo and his girlfriend had many problems due to suspicion, which led to suspicion. Louis Louis died in an accident, and the role of a local fortune-telling old lady appeared a bit stiff. The biggest enemy of love is yourself. The film was shot on location in the Philippines, and you can often see the local residents watching in the exterior shots. Lei Yuyang, a member of the trio, encounters a girl in a hotel who reveals her full body at three o'clock. He thinks he is lucky, but he discovers that she is actually a ghost just before her clothes are gone. The other two met a flirtatious girl who struck up a conversation and were invited to a mysterious entertainment venue called "Diddisco, on Route X." These three poor people didn't have a long memory and happily went there. At the end of the romance, regret was waiting for the three of them. The taxi he took unexpectedly came to Route X, where there was a room full of hot girls dancing to the music. Interestingly, Lei Yuyang screamed when he saw the ferocious appearance of the female ghost lying on top of him. The actor playing the female ghost also seemed frightened, ducked back and blinked rapidly. She must be a girl from a local entertainment venue. She just wants to show off her figure and has no experience in filming. Didi Disco was full of hot girls. The three of them thought they were in the Garden of Eden, how beautiful it was. The large wooden box that Li Yaoxiang carried with him was full of props to create a special atmosphere, such as small candles and red wine. After a lot of work, the girl stepped out of the bathroom. Li Yaoxiang's eyes widened and he decided to do it first and talk later. The moment the clothes left his body, Li Yaoxiang realized that in front of him was an old witch with green wrinkles on his face. Here, the other two people also realized that something was wrong. The three of them fled to the street and found that there were countless wanted notices for the three of them posted on the wall on the street (this was probably the Yin and Yang world, and the three of them entered by mistake). The scene of a street full of ghosts later appeared in "Hell 10", which was very scary. Next, the three of them began a bloody and terrifying escape journey, because in an unknown space, the three of them were running around like headless flies.

George A. Romero's zombies evolve a bit slowly. Qiu Litao's zombies not only think, but also have bosses and altars. The rest of the story is a bit messy, with a sense of violence and wantonness. Even "Don't Pick Wild Flowers on the Roadside" is sung, and the screen shows countless zombies chasing the three of them running down the street. What this story says is that it’s better to have your own wife. If you don’t have a wife, you can go find a girlfriend. It’s better not to touch strangers outside.

At the end, a little explanation of the origins of the ghosts in the Yin and Yang world was given. The other characters returned to the tour group one after another, tying the whole thing to a conclusion. The final scene was when Huang Baiming heard that the plane that had just left the airport was returning to Manila International Airport in the Philippines. He couldn't help but have a bitter look on his face, while the girl next to him covered her mouth and smiled. This scene completely exposed the positioning of the film. This is a movie. Comedy.
