"The Great Master" has left a very deep mark in my life. The following text is not a film review, but just some of my own thoughts, I can't help but share it with friends who love this movie. There are many seemingly unrelated digressions, but all of them, because of this movie, gave birth to endless echoes. When "The Great Master" was released, it happened that I had been studying Tai Chi for more than three months. Before meeting my master, I had always held a wait-and-see attitude towards martial arts. I have always believed that it is a very powerful "thing", but the understanding of it only stays on the skin, and martial arts itself has nothing to do with my life. It wasn't until last spring that my knee was severely injured and I couldn't heal for a long time, and I found Dr. Wang, who was also a martial artist, and my knee was completely improved. Later, I decided to start learning Tai Chi from Doctor Wang. Speaking of which, you might think I want to talk about martial arts. it's not true. But this wonderful bond between me and martial arts brought me into a door that I wanted to enter since I was a child, but lingered outside for a long time. My master works in the hospital on weekdays, but regardless of the heat and winter, he insists on practicing boxing for at least three hours a day, and insists on doing homework that is useless to ordinary people today. why? I would like to know. After observation, the friends who were shocked by "The Great Master" are basically people with oriental cultural complexes. The value of Wong Kar-wai's movie lies in his efforts to show the Eastern values and philosophy behind it. It can be seen that he has been gaining momentum for many years. These things have always been in our bones and cannot be expressed clearly in linear language. Many things in the East are like this. You can only feel it, feel it, and naturally understand it. I like "The Grand Master" precisely because of the full of breath in this movie, the heart-stirring, but it can be subtly subscribed, echoing the most affectionate but least expressive part of the deepest part of my heart every minute. As for what this part of my heart is, I don't want to use this so-called film review to make it clear. Because my master ancestor has practiced martial arts and medicine for generations, he told me many stories passed down in the family. At first, I felt a bit exaggerated, it was too far from my life. Later, in his continuous narration, I slowly began to feel different things. I once told Master that the current martial arts has really been reduced to an art of performance. Compared with boxing and other things, it is completely useless. Master said that it is true, but not because martial arts can't do it, but because people now can't do it anymore. He regretted to say that at the time of the Republic of China, most of the people who practiced martial arts were really kung fu. Later, I watched Xu Haofeng's "Dead Martial Arts" and "Taoist Down the Mountain", and confirmed that that era, as shown in the movie "The Great Master", had flesh and blood, as well as noble and classical spiritual heritage. The martial arts spirit is actually a concentrated carrier of Chinese culture. The role of Gongji represents the ultimate in martial arts spirit. Although she has always stayed in her own pattern due to her strong personality regardless of the cost, the noble choice she made is also lost and unbearable by people today. Although compared to Ye Wen’s “no heart stagnation, great success is lacking”, she has not been able to take one step forward. In Xu Haofeng’s words, she is one less “turning back” on the road to becoming a master, but this Isn't it the beauty we have forgotten not to look back? This is why when I saw Gong Er's farewell to Ye Wen, he turned around and said: "...Seeing myself, seeing the world, seeing all beings, I failed to go down, I hope Mr. Ye can go down this road well. ", I can't help tears anymore. Since then, I think Wong Kar-wai has made the meaning of "remembering, there must be repercussions" very clearly. The Gong family is dead, but whether it is the inheritance of martial arts or cultural heritage, it is not a martial art, but a kind of spiritual fire. Having said that, it is necessary to talk about the roles of Zhao Benshan and Zhang Zhen. Wong Kar-wai is really idle pens everywhere but no one. Many people think these roles are useless. Not only that, but also the finishing touch. Ding Lianshan, played by Zhao Benshan, plays a very important role in the whole play. Gong Baosen asked him when he saw him. He used the snake soup to hint at the past when the Chinese Samurai Association was established, and how to lead the younger brother to retreat. Gong Baosen only saw the world. When Ding Lianshan saw Ye Wen, he used his junior and younger brothers to recruit and support him, and he pointed out why the palace's sixty-four hands had passed away. The later thinking is left to Ye Wen, implying the inheritance of martial arts. Wong Kar Wai can be described as good intentions here. The role of Zhang Zhen is a dark line in the whole play, echoing Ye Wen and Gong Er, showing another kind of hardship experienced by another type of boxing going south. In the end, the barber shop was opened in the first line, hidden in the city, and saw all beings. All of this is to highlight Ye Wen. It doesn't take a lot of words, but it's already incisively and vividly. Eastern things pay attention to the level of realm. Foreigners never say a thing, there are high and low levels. A thing, you say how great its conception, how high the height of philosophy, has nothing to do with the state of discussion, not on the same level. Martial arts, ancient paintings, and calligraphy, for thousands of years, at a glance, there is only the distinction of realm, while the distinction between concept and philosophy is very small. I love this movie because Wong Kar-wai worked hard to present such an old-time picture scroll. The feelings of the characters in the movie are the real romance in my mind. After reading "The Great Master", I told Master that I really wanted to learn Bagua Palm. Master’s answer gave me an initiation. He said: "I have a strong hunch that you will meet a good Baguazhang master. I have always wanted to learn Baguazhang, but I have never met a good master. What is treasure? Not that you should hurry up and do what you want. What I do is to live in the present and wait for that moment to come." There is too much to say about this movie. I can only, like Director Wong Kar Wai, abandon all that can be said, and only talk about the part I want to say the most. If it can resonate with you, then I am really happy. Always remember, there will be reverberations. There is too much to say about this movie.
