    I don't know if Wong Kar Wai's personal style can't control such a big narrative structure, or if such a story is not suitable for Wong Kar Wai's style. In short, the shooting is still very beautiful, but the narrative is completely loose, and the emotional expression of the King of Sunglasses is not...

    I still don't like this kind of "in the cloud" lines, especially in the absence of background foreshadowing, the necessity is very questionable. The photography is beautiful, but the weighted connection between the several threads lacks a strong emotional bond. There is a desire for self-breakthrough, but no substantial progress has been achieved, far less than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It's very disappointing to shoot this result with the luxury of money and time that other directors...

    4.5 First of all, I really like this movie! I watched it very high from the beginning to the end, and I would like to watch it again. The US version does have many differences, it is a little more compact, and of course it reflects the amount of material. . . Zhang Zhen's line has changed completely. Liang Chaowei and Zhang Ziyi are both very handsome, and the love story of the King of Sunglasses is really the same for...

    I'm probably the only one in the audience who watched it for the first time... Wong Kar-wai is still amazing. He shot the heroic demeanor that is only found in martial arts novels. He has charm and pomp, and everyone's close-ups are outrageous and poisonous. German University. The only thing that is uncomfortable is that there are too many golden sentences in the king...

    To Qifeng said that Wang Jiawei only made one movie of Ah Fei, and after the evil in the east and the west, he was in a drunken world. Ye Wen and Gong Er are both lonely people lost in the game of time. Fragmented action clips, rain and snow are all freehand, ambiguous light and shadow, staring expressions, collage and narration. Fate, missed and met again. Each scene has its own flavor, especially art performances, sound and...

    slow...movement...movement...water...drops...blood...snow...rain...rain...rain...slow...movement...gaze...gazing...subtitles... ... No matter how beautiful Nima is, I'm tired of seeing it! ! Several fight scenes are indistinguishable. In terms of style, I don't hate Wong Kar-wai, but the rough music editing and subtitle production are too disrespectful to the audience, which also shows that the ugly is not simply a matter of style, but that some people are not serious...

    Seeing his worldview through a director's work, there seems to be a line that connects the Sunglasses King's movie into a personal time and space. This kind of movie is great, and it can make many people who like him ignore everything. I have never been optimistic about Wong Kar Wai's aesthetic style when making commercial films, and editing is indeed a problem. The play breaks the narrative structure of genre films, making people feel that it is still the kind of Wong Kar Wai film that talks...

    If the Chinese film industry must have a dance king who can only be himself no matter what role he plays, it must be Zhao Benshan. If one must be added, it must be...

    Five points are indeed a bit too much, and the exact score is a little more than four stars. But because of its bravery and paranoia, the extra little bit should be added, not given...

The Grandmaster quotes

  • Gong Er: Every great age presents a choice: to go forward, or stay back. I prefer to stay back, in the happiest times of my life.

  • [last lines]

    Ip Man: They say I spread wing chung throughout the world. I hope that's true. I didn't do it to acquire renown. The martial arts should be open to all, everyone should walk the same route. It all comes down to two words: Horizontal, Vertical.
