I thought of this because I watched the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Qingming" directed by Yuan Heping. ?) The co-authored "The Matrix" is even more dazzling and world-renowned, and now it's the best to play and direct, so I picked up the guide tube myself, so there is the current movie called Two.
Ang Lee took home his first golden statue with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". When he watched this film in college, he was convinced and felt that Oscar really knew a good movie. Not to mention the martial arts effects and the beautiful camera language in the movie - I've heard about it for a long time, but I still don't know what the camera language is. What impressed me most was the characters and emotions of Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian. Li Mubai is a martial arts master who wants to go into seclusion. He is the so-called honest and benevolent style of Confucianism, and his martial arts master came out of Wudang, and he is a light and elegant Taoist school. The complementarity of Confucianism and Taoism is the character trait of traditional Chinese scholars. In ancient times, scholar-bureaucrats lived at the heights of temples when they entered, and benefited the people in the world. When they retreated, they lived far away from rivers and lakes, secluded in the mountains and forests. Although Li An talks about martial arts, his understanding of tradition can be seen everywhere.
The relationship between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian is also very Chinese. Although the two love each other, because Xiulian has a marriage contract, even though her husband died, there is still a traditional moral wall between them that cannot be crossed. It was only when Mu Bai was dying that he made a very romantic confession that moved the world and seemed to me to be very romantic.
Ang Lee is literate. He didn't just make a movie about martial arts. His movie contains Chinese customs and customs. People's interpretation, what is the implicit of the East. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (English name Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) is not called casually, the title of the film has the meaning of containing but not revealing. To follow this story down, it is far from enough to have a wonderful martial arts.
Yuan Heping made a movie from beginning to end:
Encountered an ambush - hit;
first steal the sword - hit;
recruit helpers - hit;
recall life experience - hit;
steal the sword again - hit;
the finale - hit hit.
After the fight was over, the eighth master remembered "movies are storytelling" written in "Cinema Directing", and realized that fighting and killing was not enough, he had to tell stories, so he asked Yu Xiulian to narrate, and Xue Ping to recall, and added a sentence. The civet cat is replaced by a prince-like story line to enrich the simple and straightforward plot. Then he remembered that the book also said that the movie should have a brilliant idea, so he asked several characters to take turns to preach "chivalry, morality, responsibility". Seeing that all the elements in the book are complete, Ba Ye nodded to himself with satisfaction.
There is no way, the eighth master is playing all the way, so this is the only way. Looking at the subtitles at the end, it should be a Hollywood team, and the working language is English, right? The dubbing of the characters makes people feel that the protagonists should be called Jack and Ross, not Meng Sizhao and Yu Xiulian in Chinese clothes; the actors acted bluntly, and when I watched their expressions during the fight, I seemed to see Director Yuan flipping through "How To" Filming", he said to the photographer: Push the machine up and give them a close-up of their eyes.
What? After a long time, you still don’t understand how Ang Lee is literate. Let’s take another example:
Wu Yan went up to the West Building alone, and the moon is like a hook—it’s literate,
I’m so sad, so sad, so sad—it’s because
Ang Lee has no culture "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Wong Kar-wai filmed "The Grandmaster", the action scenes of the movie are wonderful, and it all depends on the guidance of Yuan Ba Ye. But these two films are not simple martial arts films, Ang Lee has his own demands, as mentioned above. Wong Kar-Wai can capture gorgeous and charming scenes, and his carefully crafted lines are also his consistent personal style. More importantly, he captured the atmosphere of that era. We can still imagine the kind of martial arts rules and martial arts spirit after watching the movie. . This is culture.
that is it.
