When a Hong Kong film can make headlines, it means that it is enough to represent the common topic of all Hong Kong people, and at the same time, it is closely related to Hong Kong's social consciousness. —— "Hong Kong Movie Blood and Bone"
When I read "Hong Kong Movie Blood and Bone" in Hang Tu yesterday, one of the comments mentioned:
When a Hong Kong film can make headlines, it means that it is enough to represent the common topic of all Hong Kong people, and at the same time, it is closely related to Hong Kong's social consciousness.
In a sense, the whole society (the audience of Hong Kong films) is the jury, and the opinions and voices of the box office and film critics are second. There are only two Hong Kong films that can become "headline movies" (I don't know if the data is updated), one is "Infernal Affairs", and the rest is "Shaolin Soccer" directed by Stephen Chow in 2001. This immediately aroused my interest, and from some other sections devoted to analyzing Stephen Chow and his films, this film can also be regarded as a turning point in his film career or a point of "resurrection" after reflection. (The box office result of 60 million is also very good), so I came to visit the next day.
/ shoe
Shoes serve as an important symbol throughout the film, and are linked to the transitions between the characters in many places.
1. Uncle Da - Qiangxiong
When explaining the "past and present" of the two team bosses at the beginning, "shoes" acted as a very interesting role in the exchange of status and identities. (At the beginning, it is explained that the film has a sense of sight of the two camps of the positive and negative and their relationship)
When the third time Uncle Da brought his Shaolin team to Qiangxiong and proposed to participate, the shoes were about to become an excuse to humiliate the opponent again (I couldn’t help worrying about whether Uncle Da was going to be in front of so many people. Shame TT), the team's friends flocked to "I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming..." to take away the shoes and defuse this crisis (I moved TT), I think this It is also a sign that the strength of the justice lineup headed by Uncle Da is becoming stronger (Uncle Da is no longer alone, and has begun to condense the strength of the Shaolin football team headed by Xing). At this time, the camera gradually zoomed out, and we saw a strong male (full body shot) with exposed socks and semi-bare feet after taking off his shoes. The dramatic effect gets.
2. Star - Ah Mei
3. Star
From the star's down-and-out appearance at the beginning of the film: the shoes are connected in close-up shots with his down-and-out comparison with pedestrians - his return to normality in his own community (I love this transition! Learning!), a metaphor for his social status The status is nothing but a lowly person. In the first encounter with Ah Mei, he left his shoes at the steamed bun stall because he had no money to pay after eating the steamed buns. After the team won the game, they got a lot of more beautiful shoes from the sponsor and felt that they could throw away the old broken shoes. The former is "have to", and the latter is named "looking forward" by the star. The relationship between Xing and Amei can be compared to "shoe thrower - shoe picker", (female characters seem to no longer be reduced to props or vase characters in the play (emmm I watch too few movies! The sentence on the left I It seems in the book..), although the role played by Zhao Wei is not much, she acts as a soul in the progress of the star, and even acts as the final key reversal) The shoes are given the "original heart" here. " means.
/ some impressive
- In front of the steamed bread stall, the "fire" in everyone's eyes was ignited: "I want to be a ____" group shot of dancing
- When Xing ran to find the former senior brothers one by one to form a team, the situation these five people are in today is quite interesting:
