Life is like a chess piece without regrets

All the encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence. Unexpectedly, Wong Kar-wai, who never liked to climb over that mountain, really turned over and saw a new world, although this world carried some old shadows.

Ye Wen and Gong Er had only played against each other once, but the few actual and false moves in the movie were more like a spiritual communication between the two. "It's my luck that I met you at the best time, but unfortunately I don't have time. Think about it, if you say that you have no regrets in life, you are just angry. If you have no regrets in life, how boring it would be." "There is no grudge between us, and some are just a fate." Gong Er chose to live in his own world, while Ye Wen did not, because he must climb over that mountain to discover another new world.

The shots of the martial arts are shot in slow motion, and every move is realistic and neat. The background lighting likes to use black and white tones, it really looks like a beautiful freehand Chinese landscape painting. If you don't forget, there will be echoes, there is nothing behind you, there is no turning back

    In the main drama, completely ignore the drama and the characters, and abuse the slow-motion slow-shutter photography and double shadow (until the ending emotional drama such techniques are rationalized), and indulge in the personal sentiment outside the free drama. The two rain scenes are handled exactly the same. The full-screen close-up has proved that he does not care about the environment and the world of the characters at all, but only self-pity for the shadows. What era was taken here, only "self" was taken from beginning to end

    2015-01-10, the ultimate version, I can finally give a five-star to the one who sees the world and sees all beings.

The Grandmaster quotes

  • Ma San: Gong Yutian spoke to me about his last move: Old Monkey Hangs Up His Badge. He said the secret of that move was to turn back. I didn't understand his meaning at the time, I thought he was unable to keep up with changing times...

  • Gong Er: I had considered a career in opera years ago, I had received training. I had thought about it a lot: me on stage performing, and you in the audience watching...

    Ip Man: What if your performance had sold out?

    Gong Er: [smiles] You flatter me. I would have reserved a seat specifically for you.
