commented on "Dong Xie Xi Du" After
watching "Dong Xie Xi Du", the first sentence he said to a friend was: "This is a classic romance film through and through. If you want to watch it as a martial arts film, you should choose Go see other movies."
It is true that the name "Dong Xie Xi Du" is very reminiscent of Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The name of the film entered the movie theater, and after coming out, he yelled that he couldn't understand it, and it was not good-looking. In fact, this movie has an English name called "Ashes of Time". Obviously, this is a story about time. Such a name is more appropriate to the content of the movie and is not easy to be misunderstood. Jokingly, Director Wang chose the name "Dong Xie Xi Du" in order to attract more martial arts fans to buy tickets at the box office, while foreigners tend to be romantic and have names like "Ashes of Time". Market, I have to admire its cleverness.
I watched this movie three times, once in the 94th edition, once in the ultimate edition, and I played it again in class, and every time I watched it, it felt different. The first feeling was that it was a bit baffling at first, but later, many clues were gathered together, and I suddenly realized that I understood the meaning of the details. The second time, the difference between the ultimate version and the 94 version lies in the improvement of the picture quality and the change in the dubbing of the character played by Brigitte Lin. Later, after a closer look, I found that some lines and scenes were deleted. This time, it is mainly to compare the movies. The difference in skills, there are a few classic lines in the deleted part, which is a pity. And the third time, I watched it in class. At this time, those lines were already thoroughly familiar in my chest. When I watched it, I was more to appreciate the depth and connotation of the lines, and to better understand what the director wanted to express about the film.
In Wong Kar Wai's films, the lines are always impressive. The sparse dialogue, the inner narration, every sentence makes people confused, and when you think about it carefully, every sentence reveals Wong Kar Wai's philosophy of life. From "Chongqing Forest" "Have you ever thought about the feeling of canned pineapple?" to "If I had a ferry ticket, would you come with me?", from "2064" in the ancient people's secrecy Way, to "Blueberry Night", each set of keys has its story. Every line is worth reading. There are many lines in "Evil in the East" that are worth savoring. Let's talk about my deep experience of some of them.
"Not long ago, I met a person who gave me a jar of wine. She said it was called 'drunk life and dream death'. After drinking it, it can make you forget anything you have done. I wonder why there is such a wine She said that the biggest trouble for people is that their memory is too good. If you can forget everything, every day in the future will be a new beginning. Then you say how happy
it is." Huang Yaoshi Jingzhe went to visit Ouyang . Peak said. After seeing it, we can understand that the woman mentioned here is Ouyang Feng's sister-in-law. A jar of "Drunken Life and Dreaming of Death" belongs to these three people, two men with failed relationships, and a lost woman. There is another sentence behind Huang Yaoshi, "If the relationship can be divided into winners and losers, I don't know if she won, but I know very well that I lost from the beginning." Obviously, in this relationship , no one wins, no one wins. Ouyang Feng ran away from home, his sister-in-law eventually died of illness, and Huang Yaoshi drank "Drunk Life and Dream Death". If this world really has "drunk life and dream death", you can forget all the past and welcome each new beginning, it will be very happy indeed. However, there are always some unforgettable memories, and there is no such thing as "drunk life and dream death". People will continue to be troubled by those memories, which will never go away.
"When a person is frustrated, he will more or less find an excuse to hide himself. In fact, Murong Yan and Murong Yan are just two identities of the same person. Behind these two identities, there is a wounded person hiding. "
The Murong Yan and Murong Yan played by Brigitte Lin well showed a representative of split personality, one man and one woman. Just because Huang Yaoshi was unwilling to fulfill the promise he had made casually, Murong Yan was lost in the two identities. On the one hand, from love to hate, Murong Yan asked Ouyang Feng to kill Huang Yaoshi, but on the other hand, Murong Yan still loved Huang Yaoshi deeply. Falling in love with someone who doesn't love you is always full of contradictions. One person plays two roles, but it is just an excuse to cover up your pain. Behind that, there is just a sad person.
"Everyone goes through this stage, seeing a mountain and wanting to know what's behind it. I wanted to tell him, maybe turn over to the back of the mountain and you'll find it's nothing special. Looking back, it's better this way. But he I won't believe it, with his character, I won't be willing to try it myself."
Hong Qi asked Ouyang Feng what was behind the desert, and Ouyang Feng said that it was another desert.
What's behind the mountain is what drives us forward. We always believe that as long as we move forward, we will not be disappointed, as long as we keep moving forward, the scenery will be better. We are always as simple as Hong Qi in the beginning, and soon we will become sophisticated like Ouyang Feng, closer to the tasteless reality. Hong Qi would kill for eggs, but Ouyang Feng would not. "I think I have mixed with you and become a person without myself. I don't want to be like you, because I know that Ouyang Feng will never take risks for an egg. This is the difference between me and you." In this way, Hong Qi will be a traveler who keeps moving forward, while Ouyang Feng will only live a stagnant life for the sake of money. Everyone has their own way of life. Hong Qi insists on his innocence, not being assimilated by the world, and roaming the rivers and lakes, which is a positive attitude towards life. As for Ouyang Feng, the sophistication made him only concerned with money and profit, which makes people feel sad.
Ashes of Time, translated as Ashes of Time. What this movie is about is just some dust that is not worth mentioning in the long river of time. Only Wong Kar-wai can make such a philosophical talk about this dust. People who like Wong Kar Wai movies should not miss this classic. Even if these films are reduced to ashes years later, Wong Kar-wai will be remembered.
