Full marks in art, other efforts

One word: beautiful. very beautiful! Beautiful scenery, beautiful people, beautiful composition, beautiful temperament.
The following is only one of them. It was really amazing at the beginning. There is a feeling of "every frame can be used as a wallpaper". There are not many movies released in China in the past two years that gave me this feeling from the beginning. , the other is Sherlock.

The style of painting is the same as the first one, with a strong ink and wash style. The director is Yuan Heping, which is very reasonable. Yuan Heping has always been this way, but the first director was Sei, the famous Ang Lee. Several of Ang Lee's award-winning films have such a big difference in style, with different styles of painting, different themes, and different cultures. All of them are well managed. Not only are they good, they also won awards and Oscars. It is true that director Yuan Heping is also amazing, and he has also won awards (to be honest, I don’t understand the assassin Nie Yinniang), I can’t say that the director who specializes in one type and one style of film is more powerful, and the director who can control different types of movies with different styles is more powerful. I talk too much, let's talk about movies.
Talk about an actor.
Michelle Yeoh: Michelle Yeoh plays Xiulian. In the first part, her father died. As the only daughter in her family, she is a martial arts master who supports the operation of the escort bureau alone. In the first part, one of her great features is that she knows how to take care of the overall situation when dealing with things. She is a strong woman who is considerate in dealing with all the characters. She also abides by the virtues of women. Li Mubai's suggestion was unclear. Her personality is like this.
In the second part, she is a master of the world who has retired in the arena twenty years after Li Mubai's death. I still know how to take care of the overall situation and persuade Little Baylor to allow her to bring the Qingming Sword back to Wudang (the movie is trying to express this, Xiulian and Little Baylor talked a lot to persuade her, but I think the performance is a little weak, and it is difficult to do anything The actor, who originally played the role of forty or fifty years old, has a head and face, and is used to seeing big storms, the tone should not be heavy, and the body language should not be too much, so let's just say it). After Little Baylor disagreed, even if he disagreed, he came up with a way to recruit knights to help guard him.
After seeing Meng Sizhao, he could not play a childish temper, indulge in the past and forget the business. Well these are normal things. . . I'm not breaking. Of course, temperament and martial arts are of course not to mention. Martial arts are great, and it is also great to see people. You can also see some things when you look at the little heroine and the little hero.
Well, let's talk about acting. All I can see is 2 points:
The first one, when she saw the real Meng Sizhao, she gave a 2-second close-up. Surprised, bewildered, perhaps with an angry expression. Meng Sizhao was the betrothed of her parents when she was a child, and also Li Mubai's brother. In the first movie, she didn't appear, and she vaguely knew that she was dead (for a good movie, you have to learn to bury it and make a theme for the sequel haha). For Xiulian, Meng Sizhao, a person who had been dead for more than 20 years, suddenly appeared... She needed to show such a reaction. Anyway, I don't know how I will react from my personal experience, and I don't know if her reaction like this is true or not, and the judges feel it for themselves.
The second, when it was dismantled by the little heroine Snow Bottle. Xiulian also pretended to be a bitch at that time, saying that you are still young, so don't do anything; the little heroine said, Meng Sizhao treats you with all his heart and protects you with his whole life, but you treat him like this, what kind of hero are you. Xiulian said, "This is my destiny," Xue Ping said tactfully, "Don't use destiny as an excuse." You can see Xiulian's confused look. Still surprised, angry, embarrassed when she was exposed, or she lied to herself, until someone reminded her, only to remember that it was not because of fate, but because she was unwilling to open her heart to accept others. The end of the film is indeed with Meng Sizhao.
Liu Chengyu: Liu Chengyu plays the little heroine Xueping, who was born on a snowy night and was raised and raised by Yu Jiaolong. I'm so in love with her. I searched on the Internet and found that it was a Chinese-Italian mixed-race and a disciple of Michelle Yeoh. Her temperament is so good that every time I see her, I feel like I have to hold my head up high. Between the eyebrows, it seems like Ryoko Hirosue!



In the early stage, there were also sullen eyes, and in the later stage, it was indeed much gentler.
Xue Ping also has 2 points of inner drama:
the first one, when guarding or stealing the Qingming sword, fighting with the little male protagonist Wei Fang. When there was no loss, Xue Ping suddenly saw Wei Fang's birthmark and was so surprised that Wei Fang took advantage of it and hit the ground and broke the vase.
Second, after observing for a long time, I finally decided not to kill Wei Fang and let him go. That night, I heard that he ran away and stole the Qingming sword. The surprised, suspicious and angry person was puzzled. The movie gave her a 3-second close-up. Although it was a little exaggerated, as an audience, I have to say, um, I got it.
Hey, there is a third one, the smile on Wei Fang during practice, it's true. . . So beautiful, I love it.
When he smiled at Wei Fang, it was when he was meditating with a high degree of difficulty. Although it was obviously hanging on Weiya, well, sister, you also know that this posture should actually bear the force of the limbs, and the neck should also show a difficult appearance. . .

For this film, for Snowbottle, there is a philosophy that is "for a lifetime". Fulfilling the promise to the master and protecting the son of the master for the rest of his life; the other, when he was apprenticing to Xiulian, he worshipped you as his teacher and treated you like a father and mother, "I am willing to serve you with my whole life."
Donnie Yen: Donnie Yen plays Xiulian's fiancé, Meng Sizhao, who guards Xiulian's side and is reluctant to reveal her identity. After watching it a second time, I found out that Xiulian had been plotted against her when she went to Baylor Mansion. Meng Sizhao had come to help her, but she disappeared after helping her.
Meng Sizhao is a spare tire, and in Korean dramas, he is also a warm man. In order to complete Xiulian and Li Mubai, he pretended to be dead, lived in seclusion in the mountains, and practiced Taoism alone. Now he came out to help Xiulian and help Baylor House. It's true, she is sincere and guards Xiulian with her whole life, but Xiulian still doesn't want to accept him, at least after Xiao Beiler's death, when she intends to bring the Qingming sword back to Wudang Mountain, it is still "what is he going to do". Fortunately, the snow bottle pierced her and reminded her that Xiulian let her go. Decided to work with Meng Sizhao.
Therefore, Xiulian is really still a person with a very slow feeling in the team. Twenty years ago, he could not understand Li Mubai's hints, and he needed to remind him. Now he can't find the sacrifice of the spare tire around him, and he needs a snow bottle. pointing.
As for the pair of them, opinions vary. I haven't reached this level yet, so I don't know how to evaluate these relationships. After all, everyone made their own choices.
Others don't want to talk more.
Blind Girl: When she appeared, she was like a White Walker, and when she finally fought Xiulian, she could use the shadow clone technique, which is also a dick. As for the soul of the dead under the sword that she was thinking about, it could make the plot reasonable, and it would also be buried in the sequel. , I mean, if there is a sequel.
4 knights, Xiangxi Shadowless Daredevil, Tangshan Wine Sage, Tie Arm Li... The master girl who is also the villain, Wei Fang's master, can all make their own extras, an hour and a half movie, give everyone some time, everyone The image of the film is not thin, not for the plot, an imposed character or a plot, which is why I like this movie.

detail:
1. Xue Ping wants to talk to Xiulian for the first time, and follows her to her room. Xiulian, who has a world-class martial arts and smart ears, also walked into the room, only to find someone behind her and a snow bottle standing behind her. The side reaction is that the snow bottle's light energy is very high, and there is no sound when walking.
2. The little male protagonist Wei Fang, the weapon his master uses is chicken feet, how can he teach his disciples swordsmanship? Why when I contacted you when I was a child, I clearly practiced boxing. . .
3. At the end of the duel, when Xue Ping and the villain master girl finally fought, Xue Ping's sword hit the center of the opponent's pendant, just like Xiulian asked her to practice turning around and stabbing copper coins, echoing.
