Journey to the West 《西游降魔篇》并非经典喜剧

看《西游降魔篇》时，会有一种不完整的感觉。同样，看《情癫大圣》时，也有一样的感觉。无独有偶，这两部剧的剧情，都讲述着唐三藏的爱情故事。女主角一样的强悍，也一样的痴情。敢大胆假设，《大话西游》后，刘导和周导曾经讨论过想拍类似的剧情，只是两人的表达手法有所不同。刘导往往着重于潮流趋势，梦幻和美感，从其他电影里面寻找精髓，骨子里都是港味和喜感。相对于周导，不难发现他往往强调外表不是最重要，拍摄时却又着重于于人物表情和肢体语言，那怕每一个细节和节奏都希望掌握的准确，也因为这样多了一份压力。因此，只觉得这两部作品都不是上佳之作。

独立来说，《西游降魔篇》给我一种沉重的感觉。或许是因为有国外公司投资的关系，《西游降魔篇》拍成了一部西方成人童话故事。题材和最近美剧还满相似的（童话故事里面的怪兽来到现代杀人那部），而周导拍得比他们强的地方就是，他利用自己多年拍剧的经验，强调也着重于演员的面部表情和肢体语言。严格来说，其实这样是很不自然和造作的，不过就因为是周导的作品，这种拍摄手法，反而成为了他的招牌之作。其次，不用大牌演员，和干脆的拍摄手法，值得一赞。过去周导的作品，总是给人“喧宾夺主”的感觉，而这回套用了不是港星的演员，倒是拍出了“画龙添睛”。

只可惜，有着喜剧的剧套，却少了香港喜剧的精神。当然，周导的作品一向观众群都倾向于内地，只是这样的作品是否能满足内地观众却是未知数。对于，习惯于港产戏剧的我来说，周导这部作品有点无聊和缺乏新鲜感。就像第一回看《少林足球》会觉得很新鲜，第二回看《功夫》会觉得很有趣，可是当看完期待四年的《西游降魔篇》却感觉不过如此。里面的爱情重叠了，里面的对白几乎想不起来（有吗？），情节可笑点并不多，也没带半点创意。故事和电影拍摄很认真严禁，可是并不好笑。就像一道美食，用料烹饪和取材都很认真，花了好长时间，可是吃起来却淡而无味。那怕，知道食材很有营养，厨师很出名，可是不好吃就是不好吃。同理，一部喜剧，笑过即忘，固然肤浅，笑过后让你感觉没半点喜感，还带着淡淡的遗憾，也并非经典的喜剧。

See "Journey to the West fell monsters papers, there is a feeling of incomplete. Similarly, see "Tall Story", have the same feeling. Coincidentally, the story of two drama tells the love story of the Tripitaka. Heroine as tough as the infatuation. Bold hypothesis, "Westward Journey" Liu guide and Chou had discussed the want to make a similar plot, just two different methods of expression. Liu guide tend to focus on the trends, fantasy and beauty, to find the essence from the other movies inside bones are Hong Kong flavor and delight. He often emphasized appearance is not the most important, but when shooting focus on character expressions and body language, even if every detail and rhythm wish to master the accurate, but also because such a pressure relative to the weekly guide, it is not difficult to find . So, I just feel that these two works are not good for.

Independent, "Journey to the West fell monsters chapter," Give me a heavy feeling. Perhaps because of the relationship of foreign investment, "Journey to the West fell monsters papers made into a Western adult fairy tale. Theme and the recent U.S. drama full of similar (fairy tale inside the monster came modern murder Department), Chou looks stronger than they, he used his many years of filming experience, emphasizing the focus on the actor's facial expressions and body language. Strictly speaking, in fact, this is not natural and artificial, but because it is the works of the Chou, this shooting style, they became his signature for. Secondly, do not have the big-name actors, and simply shooting style worthy of commendation. The works of the past week guide always gives the "overwhelming" feeling, which apply not a Hong Kong movie star actor touches shoot "painted dragon Tim eyes.

Unfortunately, only has a comedy drama sets, but less of the spirit of the Hong Kong comedy. Of course, Chou's work has always been the audience tend to mainland, just whether this works to meet the the mainland audience but unknown. For me accustomed to the Hong Kong-produced drama, week guide this work a little boredom and lack of freshness. Like the first time to see the "Shaolin Soccer" will feel very fresh, look back at the "Kung Fu" will find it very interesting, but when they feel after reading to look forward to four years of "Journey to the West fell monsters papers just so. Love inside overlap inside the dialogue almost can not remember (have?), Ridiculous plot point not more, have not the slightest idea. The story and the film shoot very non-seriously, but not funny. Like a food material to be used for cooking and drawn very seriously, it took a long time, but taste it, it is insipid. Even if, know very nutritious ingredients, cook very well-known, but not delicious, is not very tasty. Similarly, a comedy, laugh over that is forgotten, of course, superficial, laugh after you feel not the slightest sense of joy, but also with a touch of regret, it is not the classic comedy.
