Back to the topic, I think it's not bad to call this movie Qingming Baojian, after all, the whole story revolves around this sword. Let's first summarize the reasons why online netizens complained:
1. The screenwriter is a foreigner. In our hearts, Chinese martial arts belongs to the Chinese alone. Why do you, a foreigner, make up Chinese movies? How could you make them well? I want to say that although some foreigners are blond and blue-eyed, it does not mean that they are not proficient in Chinese culture, and it does not mean that they cannot understand the Chinese martial arts spirit with empathy. Anything, as long as you put your mind to it, it will be fine in the long run. I have met a foreigner whose calligraphy is worse than that of the Chinese. He can share with me the essence of Chinese calligraphy in the past thousand years in fluent Chinese. I am ashamed.
What's more, from the narration of the movie script, I have always felt that foreign screenwriters are often much better than us in this regard, especially in movies and TV series adapted from original novels, and many domestic TV series adapted from popular novels can't bear it. Looking directly (of course, except for the Lang Ya Bang produced by Shanying), many times we should look at the screenwriter's skills objectively.
Frankly speaking, Qingming Treasure Sword is well made up. Although the story is simple, it lays the groundwork before and after, and the details are handled with sincerity. I basically didn't see any holes that were dug and not filled. What's more, things like big hatred and big love are actually difficult to describe in a short one or two hour script. The screenwriter also intuitively made us feel that Yu Xiulian's admiration for Li Mubai and his feelings for Meng Sizhao, Meng Si. Escape from the world by pretending to die and make a beautiful woman, but in times of turmoil and crisis in the rivers and lakes, he still reappears as a lone wolf to protect the peace of one side. In fact, isn’t our Chinese martial arts also the essence of this? When facing love, the benevolent person will not He will use extreme methods to win the beautiful woman but the perfection of the atmosphere. Every detail, the screenwriter handles all the details reasonably and coherently, but we, who have been raised by blockbusters and bad films, cannot see through a simple and delicate script written by a foreigner. That's it.
2. Actor selection and language. First of all I have to give the heroine a thumbs up. People who don't like it can skip reading this article and don't have to spray it. Let me talk about the reason I like it first. Although we knew it was a mixed-race actor at first glance, I couldn't help but be surprised (especially after seeing the mermaid's paralyzed face, fortunately Zhang Yuqi was shocked?) The long and narrow Danfeng eyes are naturally With double inner straps, Yin Tao's small mouth and thin willow eyebrows, no matter which one has the characteristics of traditional Chinese oriental women. She really isn't like the oriental beauties we are used to seeing on the big screen now, but I'm really fed up with looking at the big-eyed and beautiful-eyes snake face on the screen. The face that smells of greasy powder, look at the current screen again... Do you dare to take off the beauty contact lenses and play again for those so-called little Huadan? Come back to the theme, Xue Ping bears Master's deep hatred and instructions, and the sullenness in his eyes, Unwilling, doubts and anger to tell the truth, the little actor performed very well and was not exaggerated at all. In such a film with limited time, there is no way to set up all kinds of emotions, and good actors can express their psychological drama with every move, every move, and one glance (and can't help but complain about the mermaid's only failure, I found it Lin Yun, who changed his name and surname, and the super-brother Chao were instantly moved. You said that you fell in love at first sight. At least you have to express your eyes, but I only saw a silly big sister in It pretends to be crazy and sells stupid, and our super brother is just like a blind and brainless man, and we don't want our goddess who is full of treasures, and fell in love with a neurotic fish... But she really doesn't need acting skills in this play, because the acting skills are taken over by super brother. She also She doesn't need beauty, because beauty is taken care of by Zhang Yuqi. She also doesn't need to be a spoof, because she is taken over by Luo Zhixiang. All she needs is to find someone to fall in love with, only!!!... already laughing blind...?) Come back... ...? In this film, from the very beginning, Yu Xiulian saw the origin and heart of Snow Bottle, and at the same time, she also saw the good roots hidden in the bones of the little male protagonist. The actor is not a peerless beauty, but a beauty with absolutely oriental elements. She has acting skills and beauty, and she acts very lively with a frown and a smile.
3. It's not comparable to the previous Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. First of all, on this issue, this sentence is the most common comment we say when facing sequels, and it is also the most embarrassing comment that people who make sequels will definitely face. This is a real problem in the sequel market all over the world, but this sentence is actually Meaningless. why? Different people have different abilities and different starting points. How could they be the same? Yuan Heping is already a top action instructor, his specialty is action, and Ang Lee is a real director. He is good at overall control, so some people may complain. , then don't shoot if it's not good! To be honest, why do people rate Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon so highly? Did he really shoot Chinese martial arts films to the extreme? I don't think so, because he is the first and only Chinese martial arts film to win an Oscar. This honor has established him as the best in our hearts, but in fact? I personally think that there are actually many great martial arts films in China, such as Laomouzi's House of Flying Daggers, Heroes and so on. Everyone has a different understanding of the definition of martial arts or the effect that a film needs to show. The biggest advantage of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is that Ang Lee is a person who is very good at combining the story and the picture perfectly. At the same time, he also has his own artistic conception. He is familiar with and understands Western culture and market, but at the same time he is an oriental person who fully understands oriental culture. Wei's heroism film) and Director Yuan is definitely inferior to him in this respect, but in terms of martial arts action instruction alone, he is also a master level, which can be seen from all the martial arts movements in the whole film. It is obvious that all the movements are done in one go, without any sloppiness, and the martial arts of different factions are integrated into the film, showing us the essence of that faction in the most intuitive way. As for the soundtrack, I just want to say perfect.
Overall, this is definitely not a bad movie. Sister Zi Qiong is old, and Donnie Yen is no longer young. I still remember the Wing Chun filmed by the beautiful and fair-skinned Michelle and Donnie Yen, who can also be called fresh meat. After so many years, the relationship between them This kind of friendship has surpassed the sense of entertainment presented to us by a pair of actors. It has been replaced by the precipitation and baptism of the years. Each of them has been in the circle for so many years in a low-key and serious filming life, without hype or exaggeration, and handing over a picture can not be said to be beautiful. But definitely not a bad piece of work.
Many people complain about this film, saying that it is not as good as the first one. I want to say that this comparison is actually a very meaningless thing. Of course, radishes and greens have their own preferences. The directors are different, the screenwriters are different, the actors are different, and even the storyline has little to do with the first film, but just borrowed the introduction of the sword. 16 years ago, the film market was very different from now. Everything is different. At the moment when the material is flashy, it is a responsible attitude in itself to not forget the original intention to simply make a martial arts film that only tells short stories of the rivers and lakes. This film may not be liked by many people in the existing market, but in terms of the quality of the film itself, this is a sincere work. It's better than those really bad movies made for money and all kinds of gags to make money. Eighteen Shanghai Bunds!
The above are just personal opinions, welcome to exchange, but don't spray if you don't like it, civilized movie viewing and civilized complaints, thank you for your cooperation!
