In fact, movies are the same as novels. A good novel is not about telling readers the truth through lines and subjective comments of the author, or telling readers what they should feel, but by laying out the atmosphere and so on, so that the readers can get their own feelings. Just like the Red Mansion, Cao has been writing about the trivial life of the big family, but readers can see a lot from it. I remember that when the Mid-Autumn Festival was admiring the moon, it was actually the beginning of the Red Mansion’s prosperity and decline. It was very bleak, but Cao never Writing bleak, it's just that people can't get together, then Jia's mother listens to the flute, and so on, so that the readers read it and give birth to a bleak and bleak feeling from the bottom of their hearts. The same is true for movies. What the director wants is to set up and create conflicts. Of course, conflicts cannot be one. Like Chen Kaige’s Farewell My Concubine, the story has a main line, but history, culture, art, and relationships are all in it. It can't be resolved, the saturated needle can ooze bleeding with a single stick, but the current Promise may be the negative teaching material. There are so many piles, but people really get nothing.
In fact, many film reviews nowadays are just copying cold rice, taking out those classic movies and copying them, but they still can't get out of the original frame. There are several reasons. First of all, the quality of the viewers is not high. The materials used for copying cold rice are not classics, or they are just classics of popular taste. Naturally, copying and copying cannot produce new things. Secondly, it is due to the problem of vision. Many theories can’t be used as methodology. Naturally, they can’t do well in the face of the material. This principle is like a chef’s cooking. There are many kinds of knives. Naturally, they can cut into dices and slices. There are various kinds of things, but a big knife is naturally changed. There are few tricks. The easiest way to stir-fry cold rice is to add new ingredients. The same is cold rice. Adding sausages is Yangzhou fried rice. Adding some shrimps turns into seafood fried rice. The natural taste is very different.
How to stir up new tastes for men and women of diet, I think, first dismember the original materials and then recombine them, so that completely different new tastes may appear.
First look at the name, eating and drinking men and women, people have a lot of desires. Explicitly, the film will discuss the relationship between men and women, and lust, just like diet, which is part of daily life. Looking at the other two parts of Li Ang's trilogy, you can find the scene of eating. The eating here is not usually at home, but a banquet. Many people gather to eat together. So many people gather together to do a trivial thing that everyone must do, but they have to eat together cautiously. Because it is a feast, it is naturally easy to create conflicts. And eating is not just eating, you have to speak, you have to say something, you can't be relatively silent, and you can't be cold. This can be a play. In the Dream of Red Mansions, I often wrote about eating. The sentence of Grandma Shan Liu, the old Liu, and the old Liu had a huge appetite like Niu Yunyun, and they laughed differently. This is the so-called scene description. I have eaten several times in the diet of men and women. I remember the first time. Wu Qianlian was picky about the meat. Then Lang Xiong went out. The three sisters ate. Wu announced that he would live out because of the investment in real estate. The second time, the sister said she was pregnant. For the third time, my elder sister said that he was going to get married. For the fourth time, Lang Xiong said that he was going to get married. This should be the climax of the whole show, because everyone is gathered together. Facing his father, he has to marry Zhang Aijia, who is much younger than him. Reflection of the sky. The last time Wu ate with his father. There was also a time when Wu was eating at her boyfriend's house. After eating so many times and comparing it, we can see that, first of all, Zhu’s family doesn’t talk much about eating. They have to inform others about something. They always say "I have something to announce" during the meal. It can be seen that the family members are already there. No communication, no discussion, everything is just an announcement. Compare it again. The first time I ate dinner, Wu was picky about his father, saying that his father’s sense of taste deteriorated, and the last time was when his father was picky about Wu Jiang and put too much on his sense of taste. Not to mention the completion of the beginning and the end, you can see from it. In fact, the conflict between the second child played by Wu and his father is the most important thread. This can also be seen from other aspects. In the photo of the mother and father, the mother seems to be Wu. Wu was driven out of the kitchen by his father. Among the three sisters, she can cook good dishes. He inherits the father and the old man’s mouth. Speaking of it, Wu has inherited the character and temperament of his father and mother, and so on. Just because it is so important, we have to use a clue to analyze the conflict between Wu and his father.
It seems that the two people either didn’t speak, and if they wanted to speak, they were arguing. The first time Wu announced that he would move out at dinner, he ended up living in the old house because of the investment failure and giving up the opportunity to go abroad for his father. Later, his father announced that he was eating. To move out, this one. Wu was the one with the richest and most free emotional life at the beginning of the three sisters, but in the end the other two sisters were married and their father was married, and Wu was still alone. At the beginning of the film, his father was cooking, and then he retired and didn’t do it. In the end, Wu was cooking there. This third item is not difficult to see. In the film, Wu not only inherited his father’s temper and character, but also inherited his father’s craftsmanship. The fate of his father. I remember the words my father said when he retired. Now people are eating thick and thin. What Chinese food has been improved since it was in Taiwan 30 years ago has lost its original authenticity, etc. It may be a combination of tradition and modern This kind of conflict, if his father does not retire and chooses to keep the tradition, he is destined to always be lonely and out of worldly affairs, and Wu inherited his father’s tradition, which means he inherited the loneliness, so many people called the ironic result in the end.
The other two daughters, the role is not heavy, and the story is considered complete. Among them, Yang Guimei is more brilliant. She always feels that Yang Guimei can suppress the lust for a long time, and finally breaks everything completely and integrates into the lust. The role is excellent. . The entire film is a big name, Gui Yalei, Lang Xiong, Zhao Wenhuan, Wu Qianlian, Zhang Aijia, Chen Shaorong seem to have won the Golden Horse Award, and they are all immersed in art for decades. To say something off topic, before Even if the selected roles were young and young at the time, after all, they don’t choose those famous newcomers, but nowadays, they only choose some newcomers to guarantee the box office, which actually ruined the original quality of the movie. .
Ang Lee is always able to reflect the times, at least to be able to achieve the performance of the times he showed. The trilogy all have the characteristics of the times, such as going abroad, real estate, sex liberation, etc., all kinds of concepts are new and old. When the conflicts converge, they become the conflict between the traditional oriental concepts of human relations and the new western thoughts, or the conflicts between the two generations. From this point of view, such a movie, even if it is viewed now, because the conflict still exists, the movie also has the significance of the times.
