The inspiration for the film comes from a historical story full of suspense and dramatic tension--"Thorn Horse Case", which is known as one of the four strange cases in the late Qing Dynasty. Zhang Che once adapted it into the movie "Thorn Horse". The inspiration for the second adaptation also came from this. Before "Famous Name", most of the martial arts films in the new millennium were "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero". value and cater to ideology, but the essence is to dissolve history. "Famous Name" subverts the renderings and mythical characters of previous commercial blockbusters, but restores a historical truth and the true face of human nature, so this film is full of a strong sense of history. It was an era when corpses were everywhere, officials forced the people to rebel, and the army was in chaos. Chen Kexin grasped this big environment, and this time he touched the classical feelings of the Chinese people. He has a strong sense of loyalty and righteousness and the different human nature under war. Humane care. French director Abel Gance said: "It is not the picture that constitutes the film, but the soul of the picture." No matter whether it is a majestic and return-to-basics war scene, or a depiction of the characters' complex and delicate inner world, All have unique artistic charm. The montage in "The Name" has been used to the extreme. The Hungarian film theorist Balaz also said: "The director's recorded picture is reality, but the montage gives it a meaning..." In the film Emphasizes the content of the battle of Shucheng. There are both tragic melee combat and clear combat strategies. Both the details and the overall rhythm are perfect. After the battle of Shucheng, Chen Kexin chose to use a lot of Cross montages to express war scenes, such as shots of siege and soldiers fighting cocks, shots of siege and three brothers laughing at the top of the city, soldiers entering the city and people fleeing from the city gates... One of the functions of these montages is to relieve the fatigue caused by the repetition of war scenes. Secondly, the interesting arrangement of the two different atmospheres of entertainment and fighting greatly increases the interest of the film. A large number of short-shot editing and strong accompanying The powerful national music gives people a turbulent rhythm, and as a commercial film, it gives the audience a strong visual stimulation. Also later, Chen Kexin intentionally used montage to express the contrast between Zhao Erhu, who rescued his brother, and Pang Qingyun, who was holding a banquet, which made people sad. . The montage in the film not only participates in the narrative and boosting the rhythm, but also alludes to brotherhood. The most obvious one is the three red and black faces on the stage during the attack on Nanjing. The black faces represent Jiang Wuyang and the white faces represent Pang. Qingyun, the red face represents Zhao Erhu, and Xiaoxiao emulates the Taoyuan Sanjieyi. On the stage, he sang: "Take the words first to the earth and sky, do not seek the same life and seek the same death" Zhao Erhu suddenly became sad after hearing this, and then Zhao Erhu burst into tears. , At this time, the overlapping of the scene recalls the scene of the three brothers killing the enemy, which obviously leads to the following plot and satirizes this layer of brotherhood. The role of montage in this film also extends to the expression of the hearts of the characters. Pang Qingyun's piece of walking on thin ice through the interspersed reality and psychological time and space allows the audience to deeply feel Pang Qingyun's huge changes and inner struggles. The artistry of the film is improved here. For the whole story, the name certificate is not only a clue but also the main theme. The phrase "put name certificate" comes out of the "Water Margin" in which Lin Chong defected to Liangshan. It means to take the head of the person as a token of sincerity to join the party, to show that one's life is in the body and the meaning of brotherhood is above all else, which is an expression of absolute loyalty. The name vote is not as simple as sticking three sticks of incense, but in the movie, it is to cut off the way by killing an outsider. After reading "The Name of the Vocation", the most memorable thing is "the name of the vote, the brotherhood, the life and the death, the life and death!" This classic line from the movie made everyone's blood boil. In our traditional concept, the meaning of brotherhood is that the people at the bottom consciously form a kind of blood kinship in order to safeguard their own interests. Obviously, this is the yearning and praise for the ethical ideal of loving each other under the patriarchal system. But behind this symbol of loyalty lies absolute illegality and brutality. The final outcome of the three brothers also confirms this. Pang Qingyun, a pragmatist, a person who thinks he knows the "world". I oppose that Pang Qingyun is the kind of step on the brotherhood, just using Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang's argument, I think he has lofty political ideals and aspirations, he, he wants to make the whole world have enough to eat, this is a big Love, but his mistake was that he wanted to rely on the imperial court to fight this turnaround. He thought he knew the world, but he was only a pawn in the political situation. Compared with the three father-in-laws on the top of the film, Pang Qingyun can only be regarded as a soldier, and his counterpart is precisely White Face, and White Face represents Cao Cao, but I think he is more like Song Jiang, and in the end he lost his brother because of his mistake. Zhao Erhu, an idealist, a person who thinks he knows "righteousness". When the three brothers made their names, Zhao Erhu was the most straightforward. He didn't even hesitate. On the battlefield, he was always the bravest. Taking off his armor, he trusted Pang Qingyun in every possible way. Even if everything is different from his beliefs, he is a very simple person. At first, his goal was to make this small group of people able to eat. Later, he wanted to save the people in Suzhou City, but Pang Qingyun told him that he was not afraid of deceit. , he understood that this was different from what he imagined, but he had no way to stop all this from happening. Zhao Erhu's ending was also the most tragic. Even if he died, the last sentence before his death still cared about Pang Qingyun's safety. Jiang Wuyang, a simplistic person, who thinks he knows "reason". The simplest person in the whole film is Jiang Wuyang. When he was standing up for his name, he was the only one with a solemn expression. He was the only one who took his name to heart in the whole film. He was very simple. Pang Qingyun told him to capture the thief first and capture the king. , he memorized it by heart, because he thought this principle was right, he always believed that the elder brother was right, this was the principle he believed, and finally killed Liansheng because of this principle, when he finally killed Pang At Qingyun, he seemed to suddenly understand why, but this is a bit too cruel for a person who only understands... Liansheng, Chen Kexin's expression of feminism in the film is reflected in this. She is a "skinny horse" in the film, which means that she was trained in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was a child, and then when she grew up, she was sold to a wealthy family as a concubine, which made her grow up as a concubine. She has no sense of security. Everything she does is based on her own sense of security. At first, she was with Zhao Erhu just for a sense of security. It was not until she met Pang Qingyun that she understood what love was. Unfortunately, she was still with the wrong person. The truth is that no one can give you the security you want but yourself. Chen Kexin once said, "I often feel that Chinese costume movies can't have only a few blockbusters and show the audience something relatively imaginary. The complexity of the characters in this film is very similar to our modern life, and I hope to give the audience some resonance. In addition to brotherhood, "Putting the Name" focuses on the incomprehensible behaviors in a world where materials are poor. "Putting the Name" also has a chance to occur in this kind of society." The film is a direct reference to war Epic of cruelty and the depths of humanity.
