It is undeniable that fists can't support martial arts
, Yuan Ba Ye is a powerful martial arts finger, and his masterpiece can also support half a martial arts. Judging from this movie, Yuan Ba Ye is not easy. He is a martial arts instructor himself, and Michelle Yeoh, Donnie Yen or other new actors I don't know may not be good at literary drama. Therefore, the emotional expression of the whole film is particularly abrupt.
All love lines are created out of nothing and come to an abrupt end. The eighth master seems to put all his energy into the action scenes. The scene scheduling of several group battles is very exciting. Wei Fang and Xue Ping's fighting movements when stealing swords are very beautiful. Meng Sizhao and Wei Fang's master and apprentice are in the ice lake. The above action is really wonderful, perhaps this is also to correspond to the bamboo forest battle between Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". But if I watch the whole movie, I can't understand why the plot of this movie is going this way.
I don't know why, as Yu Xiulian's former lover, why is he so determined to help him? I also don't understand that those few martial arts people are guarding Baylor Mansion for the sake of Lord Baylor's former favor, and they don't know this man named Lone Wolf at all, but they are willing to trust him and obey him? I don't know why the blood bottle fell in love with Wei Fang so easily. Did Duanhunying have other feelings for Wei Fang? Could it be that these emotions are all derived from the illusory and empty morality of the rivers and lakes, isn't it a bit ridiculous to say that?
Obviously, everyone knows that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Qingming" will definitely not surpass Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but it is unexpected that the gap will be so big. The reason why "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is so popular and sought after is definitely not only because of how perfect the martial arts action design is, but because Ang Lee has built a coveted martial arts. In this river and lake, everyone will There is morality, and of course there is selfishness. Whether it's Li Mubai or Yu Xiulian, it's not just fists that are based in the arena. Although their martial arts are high, what they admire is the highest level of life.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" restores a classical Chinese martial arts, and puts Chinese implicit philosophy in martial arts, so that the world can understand Chinese martial arts. However, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of Qingming" seems to be deliberately catering to the West. It uses Chinese actors and selects the landscape of New Zealand. From the dialogue design to the camera style, they are all Western-style, especially after Wei Fang failed to assassinate Yu Xiulian. , escaping into the woods and seeing the scene of the Nine Nether Girl, a very Western-style ghost appears.
Therefore, although the length of the movie is short, it still makes people feel dull; although there are more scenes, it can't hide the monotony after the dazzling action design. Many of the performances are very blunt, as if a serious person is telling a lame joke, but it is always impossible for people to laugh. Whether it's Yu Xiulian's dialogue or Meng Sizhao's deepness, they all look very awkward. The Eighth Master never had the humanistic atmosphere of Ang Lee, nor did the original authors such as Wang Dulu and Wang Huiling understand Chinese culture as screenwriters, so the movie was just fighting for the sake of fighting, loving for love, and hating for hating.
Or, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Qingming" would be a good action movie without the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" label. But after putting that label on itself, it's a substandard sequel.
