Shadow: Zhang Yimou's high-scoring composition in class

Tobin 2022-04-22 07:01:48

After watching "Shadow", the intuitive feeling, the emotions are right, the characters are right, and it doesn't move people.

At the beginning, there are ink paintings, calligraphy, and Tai Chi pictures. The composition is beautiful, the angle of the camera is good, the actors' looks can be resisted, and the actors' acting skills are not bad. But that's the biggest problem with this movie. It has everything you can think of, and it's given in any way you can think of.

What is good work? It's shocking, it touches your heart directly.

In order to fear that we would not understand, the director began to force the question.

1. The first scene at the beginning and the last scene at the end are the same, so let me ask you a question?

Wang said it was all fake, and the eldest princess Guan Qingping Xiaotong said with tears on her face, what is true. Just ask you a question?

2. Jingzhou is Ziyu's shadow, and we will immediately think of a person's self-awareness.

So Jingzhou began to ask: Who am I?

When I saw it, oops, it's a question.

3. Everyone is implying your ending. All the details of the director are too strong, as long as the shot exceeds one second, it will inevitably reappear later.

(1) Zi Yu smiled grimly behind the scenes and said, "After conquering Jingzhou, I am the king." Everyone knows that what he said first must not be very powerful, and the king is playing a foolish king with a look that is very shrewd at first glance, and it is about to be reversed at first sight. Sure enough, the king was killed by Ziyu, and Ziyu was killed by Jingzhou.

(2) Jingzhou said to Tian Zhan, you just need to remember that I was your governor in the past, and I will still be your governor in the future. Doesn't this imply that Jingzhou will become bigger and stronger?

(3) At the beginning, with Xiao Ai's frightened expression, you can guess that Zi Yu is definitely not good enough. Because Xiao Ai is Zi Yu's wife, why is she so frightened. There is also the lady of the governor, who shouldn't be called Mrs. Ai, Ai Ji, etc. Everyone calls her Xiao Ai affectionately, why don't you just include "Xiao"?

(4) Yang Ping doesn't even look down on the eldest princess, why did he send a personal dagger? A dagger is a murder weapon, and everyone can immediately think of killing. So as soon as the eldest princess appeared on the ship, you knew that she and Yang Ping were killed because of this dagger. If Yang Ping really wants to humiliate the other party, wouldn't it be more angry to send embroidery? I humiliated you, and I even sent a knife over here. This is a typical gift of a thousand miles. Gifting jade pendants and handkerchiefs, wouldn't it irritate the other party even more? You are only suitable for embroidery, especially for a girl with force like the eldest princess.

(5) Because of the shadow of the theme, you must think of two faces of people. At the end, Xiao Ai was so surprised, maybe the king also has a shadow, maybe other people have shadows. Of course, Mrs. Xiao Ai also has two faces. One is that the martial arts talent is so high. Governor Ziyu has studied martial arts for a year, and she has easily cracked it. Ten CSSCI papers on "Yin overcomes Yang" in minutes; The second is that he has high cultural literacy and can quarrel with his husband by playing the piano. To be honest, what I admired the most during the movie was the quality of the piano.

(6) The wife gave a purse, and the director put it on for a long time. Later, Jingzhou Shangyao took out the purse, and the director put it again. In the end, Jingzhou turned black and gave Xiao Ai the purse, implying that Xiao Ai was not in danger of life. Oops, he asked a question three times for a detail, and he was telling everyone that I was a detail control.

4. The magical Yang family father and son.

The two fathers and sons, who made the entire Pei country sleepless, disappeared soon after they appeared. Just ask:

(1) Which general would send out 30,000 elite soldiers because of a tip? You said that you have enough natural insurance for 800 people, so what were these 30,000 people doing in Jingzhou City before? Doing team building?

(2) Even Xiao Yang Ping could see that the ship came by himself, and there must be an ambush below. Yang Cang actually said the trick of carving insects, so do you know what a trick is? Is the idea sailing?

(3) With 100 people, the water lines are completely different. How could a general who has been marching and fighting by the water for many years not be able to see it?

(4) Xiao Yang Ping has already killed the eldest princess, but the appearance of the eldest princess' hair spread out may be too beautiful, which led to the situation that General Xiao Yang was about to be destroyed in Jingzhou City, and his father might be designed to be killed. Still going after the identity and words of an enemy woman who was going to kill him? How can there be time to engage in love between children in this situation, but the director said yes, otherwise why would I invite two good-looking little fresh meat? Speaking of which, I really can't bear to let the handsome Wu Lei die like this. The only sadness in the whole article is that Fei Liu died.

5. As soon as the Taiji diagram is shown, the audience knows Yin and Yang, so the Yang family's swordsmanship is so masculine, we have to use Mrs. Ziyu's mysterious dance moves to win. But I watched the movie and broke down. Entering the Pei umbrella in the form of a woman means that I have to fight softly during the fight, not to twist two steps before the fight starts. The last time I saw the twist before the fight was Dongfang Unbeaten Removing those two steps doesn't affect the later play at all.

It's okay for Xiao Ai to twist two steps, she taught Jingzhou this trick, so Jingzhou and Yang Cang also twisted two steps before the decisive battle, and then settled. Yes, it's settled. Then why are you twisting two steps? It's not that the other party has to take two steps to think about life and death. These two steps can be completely omitted.

Xiao Ai twisted two steps, Jingzhou twisted two steps, and Jingzhou taught Tian Zhan to twist two steps.

Tian Zhan also taught the 100 executed prisoners to twist two steps. If the eldest princess is damaged, she has to twist two steps.

This story tells us how important it is to hire a reliable choreographer.

I was afraid that Teacher Liu Huan's words suddenly came from the cinema: "Yah-ah-!!!" Then Li Yapeng and Xu Qing flew out.

6. Zhang Yimou's works always have more form than content. It seems that this plot was made to show this picture.

I want to be tall, because I am afraid that the audience will not understand the mystery here, the interpretation can be extended there, and the theme can be deepened... The movie itself is ready for you to praise. Although Deng Chao and Zheng Kai are like running man Peiguo special, but the actors are still dedicated. Deng Chao also lost so much weight on purpose. It can be imagined that everyone respects Zhang Yimou very much, after all, he is a national teacher. This script, to be honest, if the director's own style is not too strong, there can be a completely different situation.

Just like high-scoring essays in class,
