For Director Wu, who is familiar with the grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes, making a film with the theme of "Red Cliff" is just a fragment of ancient Chinese history and legends as a stage for the confrontation of adult sexual differences. The heroes of the three-point world compete for their talents in their own emotional experience and growth experience. The rich and intersecting sense of drama here has been fully expressed through the movie story. Among them, the choice, selection and transformation of characters and stories are all directed to the viewers' feeling of unity and comfort.
No matter how different the film is from the "Three Kingdoms" that people are accustomed to praise, Director Wu's core characters expressed through actions, details, language and stories, as well as the various scene experiences expressed through his skilled audition language, are all It is full of sincerity and upward spirit. This makes people feel a trace of sincerity and ambition in dialogue and communication in the package of the generally flashy mainstream culture and the acerbic tributary culture. Even if there seems to be procrastination in the battle scenes, the purpose is not to leave the audience satisfied to the greatest extent.
Wu Dao once said in an interview that, growing up in a poor environment, he would always remind himself not to fall. And this film is a dream that he hopes to express the excellent quality of the Chinese nation. No matter in the theme of gangster or war, in fact, what Director Wu has been doing seriously is to focus on showing the brotherhood, trust, kindness and beauty between people. This kind of feeling and moral choice, not everyone who reads the Three Kingdoms or makes movies can learn. Compared with the pure power, the perseverance of life and death, the darkness that sees no hope, and the narrowness of the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms in Director Wu's camera is like a long song and a slow string.
Today's public opinion environment in China is at a time when various voices are colliding with each other. At an amplified volume, many voices attempt to overwhelmingly comment on all phenomena with an authoritative judgment and a condescending attitude, expressing their superiority by denying the status quo or pronouncing the future. Others have a habit of taking them out of context, substituting simple glances for sweeping observations, and revelling along the lines of parody and sarcasm. Listening to these voices too much will make cynicism and imitation playfulness become popular clothes, cover up everyone's original differences, seriousness and self-confidence, and will stifle people's desire for independent thinking and originality.
After all, if criticism and diatribe come so easily, who wants to imagine and operate new creations in their own shoes? If indulgent verbal violence becomes a common habit, who wants to spend a little sincerity in affirming others? It's just a movie. Likes and dislikes are all personal, but the different mentality behind the expression is a new character story in the rolling history. As we write about others, history is also writing and recording our own moments. Look at these spiritual footprints that we have left, whether they will still be meaningful after a few years.
