Big red lanterns hang high, illuminating the sorrows of women in feudal society.

This movie has long been buzzing. . . Too bad I haven't had time to watch it. . . I don't know why I don't want to watch it.

Maybe it was my own resistance to the Republic of China, I didn't like that time, the gloomy time, maybe something bad happened during that time in my last life, but I

was moved by a man named Su Tong for my resistance to the Ming Kingdom. . .

Hate people, why do you have to write such a soulful article to see the big red lanterns hanging high because of reading Su Tong's "Wives and Concubines

in Groups", the original writing is really wonderful

The details of each character, a sentence, a look or an action. Like a stone hitting the water, the ripples that have not subsided for a long time are stirred up.

I think no one can reproduce the charm of the original work. After all, the space for imagination is infinite, and the power of words is infinite.

However, if there is a genius like Su Tong in the literary world, then there can also be a genius in the film industry. . . Yes, he is Zhang Yimou. ,

To be honest, I didn't have much hope at first, but I heard that the picture of the movie is good, and I went to Su Tong's script for something.

However, after reading it, I was completely convinced by Zhang Yimou.

Although it is not perfect, Shen Yun is inseparable. On the basis of respecting the original work, I have added a lot of my own ideas

so that the whole film is not someone else's story, but the director's own feelings

. Make people feel real and resonate with those around you.

There are no lanterns, no hammer feet, and no Songlian pretending to be pregnant. . . However, Director Zhang naturally added him to the film

and made the development of the whole film smoother and more compact.

Because of the addition of lighting, the lights out and closed will be triggered later. . . Because of the lighting, the deep light in the house is even more dazzling in the depths of my heart. . .

Because the sorrow of the woman who lights the lamp turns into hatred. . . Because of the lights. . . Their world is only boundless darkness.

It is also because the picture of this light movie is more amazing.

Lighting the lamp and hammering the feet form a symbol of noble and favored status, and it feels like three thousand intrigues of the old harem beauties.

It was this invisible symbol that tortured several women in the yard all over the body.

It is also wonderful to say that Song Lian’s pretending to be pregnant is also very exciting. It is precisely because of Yan’er’s whistle-blower that Song Lian’s disgust for him deepened that later Yan’er’s tragedy

was more powerful than the original paragraph. Er's arrogant attitude, the master's unruly behavior towards Yan'er, and Song Lian's own resentment is not enough to force Song Lian to kill Yan'er

, but Yan'er's whistleblower in the movie led to the sealing of the lights behind, this heavy hatred and attention caused Song Lian to grow up. Sun's resentment was enough to kill Yan'er.

Of course, it's a pity that the wonderful additions are also deleted. In the movie, a lot of the rival scenes between the eldest young master Feifu and Songlian were cut.

In fact, I don't think so many should be deleted. At least the sentence Feifu said to Songlian in the book must not be deleted. of. "I can't change it. God punishes me. Men in the Chen family have always been women. It's my turn to die. I have always felt terrible about women since I was a child. I am afraid of women. Especially the women in my family make me afraid. Only you I'm not afraid, but I'm still not good enough, do you understand?"

How good is this sentence, this is the retribution of the Chen family, after ruining so many women, they are frightened by the intrigue of women. . . Feudal society is really a cannibalistic society described by Lu Xun.

The movie also deleted a lot of things, such as Song Lian smoking, the eldest young master giving him a flute, and Song Lian forcing Yaner to eat papyrus. . . .

Although it is small, it does not mean that it is not wonderful. . . It's a pity that a movie has limited space, so much excitement must be condensed into the essence.

Director Zhang's casting should also be Sha Fei's painstaking efforts. Whether it's the protagonist or the supporting role, all of them have excellent acting skills.

Although Gong Li doesn't have the face of 18 years old, her sense of vicissitudes and ruthlessness, as well as the standard face of a Chinese woman, is Songlian's role. Speaking of acting

well, I think He Saifei, the actor of Meishan, is also quite good

. When I was reading, I didn't think about Meishan, but He Saifei's acting was so good that I suddenly fell in love with this character and deeply sympathized with it. he

This actor was originally just playing with people on the stage and finally got married and thought that he could get a new life, but he didn't expect that he would just fall from a bottomless pit to another abyss

. There is no love, no freedom, daily happiness and infinite loneliness, but also Dodging the attacks of the eldest and second young grandmothers, she was exhausted.

I think Director Zhang is very interesting. Master Chen is an extremely important role in the film. He dominates the fate of the entire house. It was his beginning that triggered the tragic fate of these women,

but he is a faceless person from the beginning to the end of the film. People, only hear their voices, never see their faces, the back side or the blurry far lens.

So the audience guessed more about what he looked like, adding a deep sense of mystery to Shenshen's house.

Let 's talk about the picture effect of the movie.

When we first entered the freshman year, the design history teacher strongly recommended that we watch Director Zhang's films. Some of his films may not have strong plots, but the pictures are fully in place.

Indeed, every picture will give I am shocked.

I think that because Director Zhang studied art at the beginning, he has extremely high requirements for pictures.

Each picture has a sharp contrast of colors, and clear warm and cool tones express different emotions.

A large number of expressive techniques are used, in the flat composition, the pair is dense, the emission, the point line surface, the similarity, the contrasting color in the color composition, the long tone, and the complementary color. . .

Movies are no longer a simple form of media and incorporate more visual enjoyment

. Every shot is so meaningful, fits the theme, near reality and far imaginary, far reality and near imaginary. . . Every scene is very spatial.
