to the blessing of Comrade Lao Wang, saw "Red Cliff" for the first time at 11:50 pm. It was raining heavily in Fuzhou. The rain hit the streets and flowed everywhere, showing a strange orange-red under the light of the street lights. Much like the blood that spreads on the battlefield.
Heavy rain at night is an essential element of countless war movies. An ambush needs rain, a surprise attack needs rain. The snipers test each other in the dark and need the cover of rain. The slaughter in the Dark City requires rain. The moon is dark and the wind is high in the killing night, and the torrential rain splashes blood in the sky.
The broken thoughts about Chibi
1 Guan Yu in the age of male sex ----------------------------
I believe that Guan Yu must have a very heavy heart in Wu Yusen's heart weight. Chinese people have worshiped Guan Gong throughout the ages, and they are very much like John Woo in terms of loyalty, tragedy and loneliness.
But in the whole play, Zhao Yun was played by Hu Jun, and Gan Xing (in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, only Gan Ning Xingba) was played by a Japanese, and he was mainly recommended. (I have always admired this Soochow No. 1 general, and Soochow Taishi Ci was also very good, but he died too early).
Guan Yu's image is very short. In Lenovo's previous Three Kingdoms movie "Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor", Andy Lau played Zhao Yun. Guan Yu is not played by any famous actor. He usually has a few beards on his face (some netizens told me later that it was Dillon, and it was an obvious mistake to say that he was not famous. But I really didn’t recognize him. He was a famous actor, but he was too popular) Could it be that Guan Yu is so unpopular? see you?
In "Three Kingdoms 11" launched by Guangrong Company around 2006, Zhao Yun's military force is 99, intelligence is 90, and Guan Yu's force is 99 and intelligence is 83. In "Three Kingdoms 7", Zhao Yun's force is 91, and in "Three Kingdoms 4", Guan Yu's commanding ability is 100. A few years ago, I respected Zhao Yun, and now I respect Zhao Yun. In the male sex era when Beckham was in power, handsome men were very important. In fact, Guan Yu is also very MAN, holding a big sword and reading Spring and Autumn at night. Ride a red rabbit.
But Zhao Yun is a little white face. No beard, white face, white robe and white horse. more neutral.
If Chibi was filmed 10 years ago, would Guan Yu still use an unknown actor? In "Red Cliff", Guan Yu's horse battles are rare. Similar to a famous thug. Really disappointing.
In Young and Dangerous, the crow smashed the statue of Guan Yu, this is not the era of Guan Yu.
But Wu Yusen still gave Guan Yu a little dignity. In the battle of Changbanpo, he did not play up the NB that Zhao Yun won the blue steel sword, but made up a scene of Cao Cao's release from Guan, probably to set Cao's ambush for Huarong Road.
I believe in Wu Yusen's heart, even if he can't let famous actors play Guan Yu, at least he won't let Guan Yu be as thin as "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading Armor".
Of course, it is also possible that others don't want to play Guan Yu, after all, the second master is a god.
2 Double guns and pigeons ----------------------------
A person must NB to an incomparable height to be symbolized and highly refined . It's like in any movie now, the two guns are pointing at each other, the pigeons are flying around, it is said to be a tribute to "JOHN WOO". Just like the Marseille slalom was first used by Frances Coley, but it was carried forward by Zidane. Whether it is the idea that John Woo learned from his mentor Zhang Che, or the inspiration he got from martial arts movies, this action belongs to him. Others either imitate, but also imitate. Or deconstruct the classics and parody them for fun.
A stubborn director always needs some stubbornness. Before going to the cinema, I thought of several ways to repeat the classic of two guns pointing at each other: 1. Two fierce generals hold two daggers in their hands, they point at each other, or a short halberd is also used. The kind of line (Dian Wei). 2 The two handsome guys, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, each pointed at each other with a big goose feather fan.
However, the scene of the two spears (knife, fan, sword, halberd) pointing at each other did not appear at least in the upper part of Chibi.
Only the pigeons remain. Zhuge took pleasure in raising pigeons. Zhao Wei fed the pigeons, and the pigeons flew over the Chibi, and under it were the two fleets facing each other across the river.
Zidane's Marseille slalom is a signature move, but playing football is not the same as making a movie. Zidane can use 100 repetitions of the Marseille slalom as long as he can dribble. The audience said yes.
The reason why JOHN WOO doesn't use double X to refer to each other may be because of patterning. Jin Yong's martial arts is good, but he doesn't want to write only about martial arts. Chairman Mao said that one cannot "say Greece without saying anything."
3 Between men and recognizing their sister -----------------------
The movie lines have "a moment of beauty". Two handsome guys needless to say. Tanqin and shaking fans admire each other, and the lines are changed to be serious, which is quite funny. It's like a gimmick between lovers. In order to protect the common people, the soldiers stepped forward to send their lives to their deaths. Liu Bei faced the perseverance of the people, his brothers were like siblings, and his wife was like clothes. Now that individuality is emphasized, this seemingly vulgar theme was captured by Woo Yusen. No pretense at all.
To be mean, the Water Margin theme of the Three Kingdoms can be considered a GAY film. Before Liu Bei and Guan Zhang ate and slept together, after coming to Kong Ming, Guan Zhang was left out in the cold, and even dissatisfied with Kong Ming, could there be an element of jealousy? The mutual understanding between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang is so high that when you say the last sentence, I will say the next sentence, which is comparable to an old husband and wife.
Such films are Lao Wu's specialty. Originally, Asian directors are more delicate than Europeans and Americans in handling male relationships (especially brotherhood). The relationship between men, even if the enemy knows to appreciate each other, is more intimate than brothers, (Liu Bei has been knitting straw shoes for Zhang Fei and Guan Yu), everyone has Brokeback Mountain in their hearts, the friendship between two men can only be replaced by brothers, Fictitious blood relatives can reduce a lot of mental crankiness.
This is very similar to the recognition of sisters in college and high school.
4 Woman Lin Chi-ling----------------------------
"I love Taiwanese girls, and Taiwanese girls love me. To me, Lin Chi-ling is nothing. Patty Hou What is it?" Please HOTDOG, I got to know these two well-known Taiwanese women. Lin Chiling's hands are not beautiful, they do not meet the standard of slender hands of a beautiful woman, and the blue meridians are very prominent.
In the songs of the Hugou Gang, I heard Lin Chiling's voice. In the movie, her soft voice is indeed a weapon to kill men. At the moment when all women are in Sex and the City and all are on fighter jets, Lin Chiling's voice is just the last representative of classicism. It's like Riquelme, who is out of place on the pitch and who is always laughed at half a beat.
Lin Chiling is said to have fallen off a horse before and hurt her breast size, and I didn't see a detailed close-up of her breasts in the movie. Slender. When she had sex with Tony Leung, her legs were longer than Liang's hairy legs.
As for the other woman, Zhao Wei, she is very familiar with her savage girlfriend-like performance. In Lao Wu's films, women finally have status, not vases anymore.
5 Time and Space Transfer -----------------------------
Woo Yusen was born in martial arts. Chinese culture is naturally thoroughly familiar in the chest. King Zhuang of Chu asked the soldiers to remove the tassel from their helmets in the dark, instead of chasing the person who played her concubine in the dark at the banquet. In the end, this man of grace fought bloody battles. Zhou Yu asked all the soldiers to step on the mud, so that people could not find the soldiers who went to the rice fields to steal the cows with mud on their feet. This detail seems not to be in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Zhou Yu's kindness and power were given together, and he thought what the masses thought, and all the generals were convinced. It is such a bridge with a main melody, Lao Wu's rendering is quite touching. The language is indescribable, and the plot is very simple, only relying on the grand scene switching to set off. He can really make a movie with the main theme of the big battle, under the Taihang Mountains.
-------------------------------------
I am a John Woo fan. He turned his face with his benefactor Tsui Hark and went to Hollywood to flourish and decline, never made me dissatisfied with this stubborn director. Even wind whisperers who can't watch. Because of John Woo, I memorized many classic lines, such as: "I waited for 3 years", because of him I understand the so-called violent aesthetics, and I like all the bullet time, double gun firing, slow motion shooting scenes.
There are interpretations and jokes, but in general, the grand and unsatisfactory he borrowed Xiao Ma to say: "I have failed for 3 years, and I must get back what I lost when I have a chance." What has he lost in a foreign land for the past few years? is dignity. A director's reputation.
This time, he came back.
