      A martial arts essay

      After reading this movie review, I understood the subtlety of this movie a little bit, so I turned it over from Timeline to share it with everyone!

            Whether it is faithful to the original work and striving for the original adaptation of classic masterpieces, such as "Gone with the Wind" (1939), or a re-creation that subverts the original form, such as the popular "destroyed childhood" style adaptation of famous stories in recent years, "Evil in the East" Poison appears to be...

      All the pain will fade away in time

      The process of watching "Evil in the East and Poison in the West" is the process of feeling all kinds of pain. Then there are subtle solutions to pain. Because most of us actually experience pain, not joy, in our lives. Joy is very short-lived, and experiencing joy is also very short-lived. So, how do you recognize your own pain and find a solution for yourself? program, which is an eternal proposition for human beings. Well, Wong Kar-wai has something to offer. This movie seems to be based...

      This is the loneliness of the end of the song

      After the lights go out. The first person to appear on the big screen was indeed Ouyang Feng.
      When he was young, he was fighting with his hair covered.
      There are more than 200 seats in Hall 1 of the entire theater. Plus a couple came in behind. Only ten people.

      Ouyang Feng was dressed in black and white, holding an oil-paper umbrella. He pursed his lips with a smile.
      Under the sky as blue as a clean lake, the desert flies sand and rocks. So lonely that only the whirring...

      Love turns out to be drinking poison with a smile

      Murong Yan and Murong Yan are the same person.
      Play a love killing game. Both gangsters and policemen. To love or not to love, to kill or not to kill, you cannot convince yourself, you can only deceive yourself. Because love has nothing to do with logic.
      So you are alone in your own world.



      You think you won him, he goes away, you marry someone else.
      Cloudy and sunny, it is repeated in a love story. Even if there is another person, the sky will not always be...

      Only Wong Kar-wai can make martial arts films so literary and artistic. The film is wrapped in martial arts packaging, and it is still the director's favorite theme - the confusion and pain of love. The blue sky and the desert yellow sand are indeed the artistic conception of chivalrous tenderness. Strong colors, sharp editing, beautiful soundtracks and powerful casts are also the styles of the King of Sunglasses, but the dense and simple philosophical lines are also always hypocritical and...

    Behind the scenes gags

    1. In the whole drama of "Ashes of Time", apart from Leslie Cheung, there are not many shots taken by others. And most of them are scattered fragments. Therefore, the film adopts the method of connecting the pictures with narration. 
    2. "Ashes of Time" filming started in 1992, but the filming stopped and was not completed until two years later. This is an extremely rare phenomenon in the Hong Kong film industry. 
    3. When "Ashes of...

    Shooting process

    "Ashes of Time" opened on September 21, 1992, and was filmed in Yulin, Shaanxi in June 1993.

The crew of "Ashes of Time" chose Yulin, Shaanxi to go to the peach blossom forest there. But when the crew started on September 21, 1992, Taohua had already died, and the director could...

    Role change

    Due to the slow progress of the filming of "Ashes of Time", in order to catch up with the film dealer's schedule, the original crew had to rush to shoot the New Year's Eve film "East and West". The shooting of "East City, West Side" gave Wong Kar-wai time to sit down and reconsider. He found that Leslie Cheung's role as "Dongxie" would not surprise the audience too much, because before Leslie Cheung had been very chic and suave in "A...

    Evaluation action

    "Ashes of Time" is known as the alternative peak of Chinese martial arts movies   .

The characters and stories in the film are intertwined and developed, and the beautiful photography shows a fictional world of imagination.   "Ashes of Time" is a martial arts fable in Wong Kar-wai's movie. It is adapted from a new...
