Gong Li is really old, the golden makeup adds to the vicissitudes of life, and the close-up of her face even looks a bit hideous. One piece is the way of civil and martial arts, but she always gives people the feeling of too much force, and has been collapsing like a string, making people look tired. What impressed me the most was the scene before her white pigeon delivered the letter: dressed in black, with black hair hanging down her shoulders, she looked up to see a plain face so full of vicissitudes.
I had been worried beforehand, worried that the film would eventually be like "The Banquet", with a half-old milf like a wolf like a tiger, only to attract the Chinese people's voyeuristic desire for women in the deep palace, and to abandon Fanyi's deterrent like thunder and lightning. The life force of the soul is disregarded. Unexpectedly, this time, "lust" did not become the focus of Laomouzi's portrayal, and Gong Lihua's, even more so honest and old makeup. Time is like an arrow and like a sword.
But it's too old to be old. I jokingly told the child that no matter how beautiful she was back then, the prince still wanted an eighteen-year-old girl, even if she was mediocre. At any rate, the silent lens makes us understand why. Looking at the torn skin, I feel pity.
This is of course half a joke. However, the other half, which is more unbearable to say in my heart, is not a joke: even if he has love for her, it is such an unbearable and cruel love, which weighs more than a thousand kilograms but makes people want to escape; even if it is like a ghost, Infatuated with love, he would rather find a pure place, even if it is not pure beauty, at least it is pure youth, even if it is not pure love, at least it is pure desire...
Laomouzi quietly changed script. Here is no longer
I just wanted to say that I knew he was going to run away and I knew why he was there.
chrysanthemum
The screenshots I saw before watching the movie were really amazing. However, after entering the cinema, it was as Xiaokou said, dazzled by the eyes full of yellow and white, and it was too easy to get tired of aesthetics. The golden chrysanthemums that covered the ground had no sense in the distant view, just like the most vulgar carpet, but it was not even bright enough. However, I think that the best part of this film is precisely here. It is in the lavishness of the most vulgar and vulgar things, the style of the country created by a martial artist stands out.
I saw someone say that in "Big Fish", the bunch of golden daffodils is amazing, and even in "Night Banquet", the mysterious cool color is everywhere a kind of extravagance, in contrast, "Golden Armor" The taste is really outrageous - I just laughed: I want it, I'm afraid it's this bit of finger, this bit of vulgarity that everyone sees. Just like the big panorama of the imperial city, shot from above, Lao Mouzi's camera skills are really good. For a while, I felt that the city wall of the building was overwhelmed by the overwhelming momentum. It is the sentence: If this country does not perish, how long will it wait!
No matter what Zhang Yimou's original intention is, this chrysanthemum is really chosen too well, no matter what Jay Chou's perception is, this chrysanthemum stage sings better. Chrysanthemum, a very good chrysanthemum. Tao Qian may have never thought that this flower can also spread out the eyes full of gold fans, but we can never forget that it blooms in the withered autumn after all.
Qiu Ju is incapacitated, people and ghosts are separated, the city is full of blood, and ghosts are faint, so "Golden Armor" is different from "Heroes". The same tyrannical king, the same bloodbath, "Heroes" was fixed in the quotations of Bush Jr., who was a majestic Qin Shihuang, sweeping the six kingdoms and pacifying the world, and solidified into the last clear dream of a powerful emperor; chrysanthemums with blood, The singing sounded like weeping, but it penetrated to the back of the
I believe this is a story about silence. It's not loneliness, it's too light, it's not death, it's too thin, it's just a decadent mansion that can no longer be supported, and the prosperity of the apocalypse that reflects blood everywhere. I saw the empty seats, the crippled chrysanthemums, the ants-like ministers and eunuchs prostrate at their feet, we finally never saw the final face of the tyrannical king of the ruined family, and let that A lyric sounded: The chrysanthemum is full of wounds...
So for the first time, when a commercial film ended, I couldn't get up and leave immediately when the end credits appeared, so for the first time, I finished listening to a song in the cinema, and from then on I believed that it was an old A super-long play of Mozi. Whatever his own intentions, I saw "polyphony" for the first time, in a commercial film. Chrysanthemum, a very good chrysanthemum.
Mother and Son:
The whole "Golden Armor", at first glance, the plagiarism rate of "Thunderstorm" is over 95%, but on closer inspection, it has actually changed a lot. In addition to the fact that Xiaochan was completely weakened in the obvious "high profile", Zhou Chong in the original work was changed so that it was impossible to identify. Yuanjie is too flat and thin, and Yuancheng's character is less paved. Logically, Yuanjie has been guarding the border all the year round. The little prince has beautiful eyebrows, and is the only biological son under the Queen's knees who can bear Huan. Yuan Jie led the rebellion of a teacher of ten thousand people just to fulfill his filial piety, and the far-fetched logic was no better than the bloody case caused by the steamed bread.
So I'd rather think that Jie and Cheng are actually the manifestation of the dual character of the same person. Zhou Chong in "Thunderstorm" was stupid from beginning to end, and died immediately after discovering the truth. And the two princes in the "Golden Armor" already knew the inside story. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to think that Laomouzi rewrites this character and intends to use the two to explore the two possibilities of Zhou Chong. After all, Yuan Jie and Yuan Cheng have many similarities.
First, it was mentioned at the beginning of the film that Yuan Jie returned from the border. Hearing his father's warning, "You can't steal what I don't give you in this world." Thinking of the reason why a prince could be severely punished, the word "Huang Quan" was probably out of the question. Therefore, in order to maintain Jay Chou's image, it was wrong to portray Prince Jie as a kind and perfect man - he should have been, and must be, a wolf. Like his younger brother who ultimately harbors evil intentions, Yuan Jie is also ambitious. There is no better than that.
Second, Yuan Jie's filial piety, coupled with Zhou Dong himself, seems to be widely recognized that Prince Jie has an Oedipus complex. However, Freud's classic expression about Oedipus is "kill the father and marry the mother". Corresponding to these four words, who is the real Oedipus? - Yuan Cheng.
Emotional classmate Prince Jie was completely wronged, and his final rebellion was interpreted as being filial to his mother, which was far-fetched. The second prince who has a historical record of seizing power, the second prince who is proficient in everything, and the only second prince in this movie with a basically undivided personality and a basically sound personality - will he rebel casually for the sake of his mother? It's purely an insult to the IQ of the majority of movie audiences, and it's so insane...
The real Oedipus madman, the little prince Yuan Cheng is also! In this way, all doubts can be solved. Why does Yuan Cheng feel that he is deeply neglected (fuck his father first, then his brother, there is no time to love him - it is love in the narrow sense!), why did he kill his father and kill his brother first (this brother is also a father), and why finally In such a naive way, with eight people, he wants to rebel (a hopeless Oedipus will always be a mentally disabled child)... I
suspect that it is to maintain Jay Chou's glorious image and deliberately put a careerist. Changed into an Oedipus idiot. Alas, it's been badly changed, it's too bad, the big failure, the biggest and biggest failure... If
father and son
say that the mother-son play is the worst in the movie, then Laomouzi's change is the best, and it can almost be said that The only place in the whole film that actually has a breakthrough and a successful supplement to "Thunderstorm" is the portrayal of the father-son play.
It seems that he loves Yuanxiang deeply, but he wants to set up another prince; he seems to have affection for his ex-wife, but he is ruthless in killing; his feelings for Yuanjie are even more complicated and confusing, killing Yuancheng is completely outrageous... This mighty king and his sons In fact, the relationship between the two is the center of the most complicated and contradictory entanglements in the whole film, and I think this is also an unexpectedly long play of Lao Mouzi.
I once read a novel, the name has been forgotten, in the middle is Li Shimin and his sons. When I saw the
Chen Sihe was still arguing with others at Fudan whether Zhou Puyuan had true love for Shiping. Laomouzi simply asked Zhou Runfa to kill Chen Jin, which was cruel enough. In fact, on the Double Ninth Festival, when Wang said to the prince, "Your mother loved cornel the most during her lifetime, and you should plant more on this day every year", he knew it in his heart, and he had made up his mind that today next year will be her death day.
However, is it possible that because of this person, or because of his last conscience and narcissism, he always has a little love for the prince; is it possible to abolish a prince who has no talent as an emperor to at least preserve One of his future lives; whether to establish a prince who once had rebellion was to turn hidden dangers into support and take away the last trump card beside the queen who was stuck in his throat; he was obviously more like himself to him, more ambitious and For the son of the emperor, will there be more complicated and entangled emotions; for the queen, will there be a bit of distorted love in the hatred and humiliation; for the prince, he appears on his sickbed like a god Before, the cowardly prince trembled like chaff at that moment. Is this the submission of a sheep in front of a lion, or a compromise between two men about women...
These kinds of speculations and contradictions are so complicated and contradictory. At this point, the description of the relationship between father and son, which is so painful, finally reminds me of a sentence in the book: the son of the royal family is not as good as a sheep but as a wolf. A lion-like emperor, the twilight lion protects the living glory or the country behind him, the emperor's family or the ten thousand li society; what he faces, after all, is his sons, not as good as sheep but as wolves
... Mouzi probably didn't want to understand, so he didn't explain it in the end. Fortunately, he didn't explain it clearly, and the

There are always some people who like to wait for blockbusters, watch blockbusters, and then approve blockbusters, and then they appear to be very tasteful. It's like I've always been this kind of person. However, when I heard "Chrysanthemum Terrace" for the sixth time, the melody was branded in my heart, prosperous and lonely, lingering for a long time. I guess I should really admit that I love this movie. Although Prince Jie's role is so reluctant, since yesterday I have found out that I am a hopeless person who has always been deeply in love with humanitarianism - then, let's forgive him for the time being, for this last thing, I still want what I want. warmth.
