    Great comedy and class allegory. Sex is merely transactional, but a kiss feels too personal. This fucking brat is really proving Philip Larkin’s point by the way.

    Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms

    ★★★★

    (8/10). 

    有种古典主义的拙稚之美,看多了漫威破罐子破摔式的后现代主义神话,这种指环王式一板一眼的厚重,乃至笨重的古典神话,简直是一股清流,像是某种文化返祖现象的产物。某些战场片段有些权游私生子之战和黑城堡之战的即视感,而权游背后又是从黑泽明的《乱》一脉相承。

    多出来的半星给某种重新被点燃的文化亲缘性:自觉不自觉的,在西方古典和当代神话(超级英雄)的语境里浸淫太久,对于本土神话几乎失去兴趣,甚至有点本能的排斥,权当是打发时间才买的票。作为合格的当代观众,当然清楚超人飞行时无与伦比的速度感和力量感很酷,而坐在电影院里,看到在当代CGI艺术和杜比全景声的加持下,暴脾气的小哪吒踩着风火轮飞行一样很酷,才惊觉几乎已经忘记了那些还觉得哪吒也很酷的遥远岁月了。于是才发现,酷的是飞行本身,是顶尖CG艺术家的辛劳和震耳欲聋的,敲击在心脏上的音效,和是谁在飞,在哪个IP哪家制片厂的哪个多元宇宙,统统没有关系。
