Once Upon a Time in China recently re-watched the movie series "Once Upon a Time" directed by Tsui Hark. I watched it again at my current age. I have lost the mood of watching "fighting" in the past. After deep thinking, I realized that there is another art in this world called Xu's movie, which was too young to understand or understand. (1) The main character Thirteenth Aunt: A white, rich and beautiful, who has returned from studying abroad, has the generous civilisation of modern Western women and the conservative elegance of traditional Chinese women. He is the perfect lover and the lover of dreams. But her role is more than that. She is the most powerful and indispensable character in the whole movie except Huang Feihong. Holding a Western camera, a seat of light-colored European clothing, a tall figure, fair skin, and almost flawless face, from the beginning, it not only shows the character’s identity background concisely and clearly, but also leaves a deep impression on people. It makes people feel that if there is such a person as Thirteen in history, then this person is her. Aunt Thirteen has a relatively good Western education in the UK, and has a strong ability to accept Western modernization and the new things it produces. From the moment she returns to Huang Feihong into Huang Feihong’s life, she is destined to have a lasting effect on him. Influence. Guangdong was one of the first regions open to colonists. After decades of development, the people, things, and tools of the West have begun to produce certain effects, but Huang Feihong’s side has not really come into contact with the West and have been to the West. And the people who were very close to him, at this moment the thirteenth aunt came back. Immediately afterwards, Western clothing, Western food, Western etiquette, Western language, and Western machinery followed one after another, came to Huang Feihong's daily life, and subtly influenced this traditional Chinese man. It can be said that Aunt Thirteen is Huang Feihong’s most direct eyes to open her eyes to the world. She brings Western modern products into Huang Feihong’s life and habits. She is Huang Feihong’s eyes for understanding the new world and Huang Feihong’s heart. In the depths, a bridge between tradition and modern civilization is to advance or retreat. Although it cannot be changed temporarily, it has quietly changed without knowing it. If the above are all open lines, the love between the two is a dark line in the first three parts of the "Huang Feihong" series. Huang Feihong's rejection at the beginning, hesitation, entanglement, and calmness are not only traditional ethics. The process of struggling with love in Huang Feihong’s heart is the process of Huang Feihong’s suspicion of the Western civilization represented by the thirteenth aunt, from groping to inclusive learning. It is a process of transition from tradition to modernity. In her, Huang Feihong saw the result of the interweaving of Chinese and Western civilizations. Starting from the breakthrough in traditional Confucian ethics, Huang Feihong has taken a big step forward. On the other hand, Aunt Thirteen could have made a new boyfriend in a foreign country, but she did not. When Huang Feihong asked her if there are so many good things in foreign countries, what are you doing when you come back, she replied: "I want to meet someone There is no foreign country. I have been thinking of you in my heart for the past two years abroad.” This sentence can be said to be very meaningful. On the surface: the thirteenth aunt who just returned to the country directly said such ambiguous things to the younger generation as the elder. On the one hand, she can see the effect of Western modern civilization on her, on the other hand, it also shows her indifference to the tradition represented by Huang Feihong. From a deep point of view: it seems that we can express an attitude. Although Shisanyi has received Western education, she still maintains the good side of traditional Chinese culture in her. She did not deny and disdain the tradition. She stayed in a foreign country like this. For many years, she still loves Chinese men. In other words, the things and tastes that Chinese men have and attract her, which she did not see in Western men, so she came back. And after returning, she often wore traditional Chinese women's clothing, without forgetting, let alone repelling traditional culture. She often wears modern western women's clothes and even pretends to be men's clothing. She did not abandon the modern education she had received just because she returned to her own country. When walking on the road, in the process of contact with modern civilization, sometimes you may wish to look back instead of blindly moving forward. If you go far, you will no longer see your roots. This is exactly what the thirteenth aunt belongs to. What is rare and precious is also the place that has the greatest impact on Huang Feihong. So the Thirteenth Aunt in the movie is not just a "person", her role on Huang Feihong, on the people around Huang Feihong, and even the role of the whole movie has greatly exceeded the category of "person". Huang Qiying: As Huang Feihong's father, although he does not appear many times in movies, his father-son relationship with Huang Feihong is another indispensable dark line in the movie. Huang Qiying has been deeply influenced by traditional culture since he was a child, and it is natural to adhere to and protect the tradition. Therefore, his influence on Huang Feihong from childhood to large is self-evident, and it is the soil of traditional culture in Huang Feihong's bones. But he is not blindly trite, he has an enlightened side, and he is very clearly enlightened, four things can be clearly seen in the movie. ① In the third episode, Guijiaoqi was also ordered by Huang Tianba, and he came to the Guangdong Guild Hall to make trouble and smashed a lot of new lion heads. He resisted it, but when Guijiaoqi's legs stretched towards the grandpa When the lion head was left, he desperately tried his best to protect it. Unfortunately, the lion head was kicked and broken, and he was injured, but he was still reluctant to throw away the broken lion head, but kept it. This is his conservative and stubborn side, and the destruction of the old lion head is not only another manifestation of his traditional culture being kicked to pieces, but also a bridge carefully designed by the director. ②After being injured, Huang Feihong brought him boiled Chinese medicine. He didn't drink it, saying that these old things are no longer useful. He is now taking Chinese patent medicine, which is made with a steam engine bought from abroad, and the effect is better. , This is his certain denial of himself as a Chinese medicine doctor and the traditional medical culture. It is also an enlightened and progressive side of him. ③When I first met the Thirteenth in Western-style clothes, he was not like everyone else, with a mouthful of "fake foreign lady" contempt or showing the slightest anger. He was just in front of everyone. He laughed, hard to control himself. When the camera switched to his bedroom, he still laughed at Aunt Thirteen. Aunt Thirteen persuaded him not to laugh. He was just kicked and injured by the ghost foot. Don't laugh so badly. Huang Qiying laughed, persuaded Thirteenth, and the camera switched from in front of everyone to the private bedroom. He did not change his face to Thirteenth. This smile and persuaded everything, and the three expressions are intertwined. Using, vividly portrays his attitude towards modern civilization, it is a kind of enlightenment and tolerance that it should be, it is a soothing to the traditional culture that has been "kicked down", and only when you look forward with a smile will you forget the broken past. The pain left behind. ④When Huang Feihong proposed to marry the thirteenth aunt, he did not make any angry expressions and behaviors. Instead, he opened his mouth in a daze without saying a word. In the next few days, there was no direct conflict with Huang Feihong, just secretly. At the end, Huang Feihong thought that Aunt Thirteen had left without saying goodbye and finally "recovered". He ran quickly and embraced Aunt Thirteen with excitement in front of everyone. The people next to him were stunned. Someone asked Huang Qiying: "This kind of Situation, should you say something? "Huang Qiying replied: "Those old lion heads should be burned." At this time, the role of the old lion heads left by the great grandfather began to overflow. Huang Qiying has also started a new transformation since then. His changes have also been changed at the same time. It also affects Huang Feihong. If Huang Feihong’s enlightenment and conservation are inherited, then the various genes in his father Huang Qiying are his most direct genes. Yan Zhendong and Liang Kuan: Liang Kuan, who was in distress at the beginning, was due to coincidences. I did not succeed in apprenticeship (to worship Huang Feihong). I was also chased by the Shahe Gang when I was working. I finally saw Yan Zhendong, a Shandong expert who was connected with his illness, and worshipped him. Yan Zhendong is not a big traitor. The villain is the most tragic character in the movie. He is a character who has a great impact on Huang Feihong's thoughts. His decline and ups and downs are the condensed tragedies of that era and the people of that era. He From Shandong all the way down to Foshan, I want to open a museum to recruit students and start my own martial arts career, but I am penniless, precarious, and squeezed out by the locals. In order to become famous, I find Huang Feihong somehow to challenge him and give him a challenge. He lost unprovoked hatred. His trick is the golden bell iron jersey, a conservative martial art, symbolizing the unusually stubborn traditional conservatism, but in the end he was beaten to death by foreign guns, focusing on his tradition. His conservativeness and stubbornness are more concentrated on the traditional inability to fight back against modernity. Therefore, his life is tragic, and his death is inevitable, and he was not beaten to death by Huang Feihong, but by the foreign symbol of advanced civilization. Shot to death, his death was the product of ancient Eastern civilization meeting Western modern civilization. Everything is accidental, but it is also inevitable. It depends on how you look at and understand this accident, how to recognize and face this necessity As he said to Huang Feihong before his death: "No matter how great our kung fu is, we can't match foreign guns and cannons." Liang Kuan first applauded Yan Zhendong, because Yan Zhendong lost himself step by step in order to become famous, and even teamed up with the innocent Shahe Gang, which made Liang Kuan cold and angry. Finally, he turned to Huang Feihong. It is not so much that Huang Feihong rescued him, it is better to say that he made his own choice between Yan and Huang. In a sense, he is also the link and medium between Yan Zhendong and Huang Feihong. He saw from Yan Zhendong the ugliness of traditional conservatism and unscrupulous means to achieve goals, and from Huang Feihong, he also saw the chivalrous courage in traditional culture. And the open-minded and tolerant side of new things, the choice he made between Yan and Huang was not a simple and pure change of sect, but a change of traditional and confused ordinary people's thoughts and concepts represented by him. A miniature of. Huang Feihong also saw a glimmer of hope from Liang Kuan to save people who had lost their way in tradition. Through Liang Kuan’s connection, he also saw the fate of the other side of conservatism in his own bones, the death of Yan Zhendong. It just proved that it also had a great influence on the transformation of his thoughts to a deeper level. Guijiaoqi and Yashasu: Guijiaoqi first worked for the bully Huang Tianba, but at the end Liang Kuan accidentally broke his leg, was abandoned by Huang Tianba, and was finally rescued by Huang Feihong. After connecting his leg, Xiong Xinxin The ghost foot seven played is three points lively and seven points cold and fearful. From excellent leg skills to outstanding acting skills, compared with Jet Li’s Huang Feihong, it is not only not weak, but even higher, leaving people behind. Is extremely impressed. Like Liang Kuan, he is also a dead end and a representative among them. The difference is that he is willing to work hard for Huang Tianba, and even commits a lot of evil, but when his leg is broken, he is the only one to survive and make people fearful. The tools of Huang Tianba are gone, Huang Tianba's abandonment and the insults of the villain who usually flatter him makes him angry, but helpless. Fortunately, he met Huang Feihong. Huang Feihong ignored the predecessors, took him in, treated him and received his legs, and finally moved him and worshiped Huang Feihong as his teacher. The break of this leg symbolizes a break with the traditional old evil forces represented by Huang Tianba, and a connection with the traditional chivalrous kindness and enlightenment represented by Huang Feihong. Ya Chasu came back to study Chinese medicine in Baozhilin after studying western medicine from a foreign country. He speaks English more smoothly than Mandarin. He has little knowledge of many traditional Chinese things but is full of strong interest. In a certain sense, he It is the representative of those people who have gone abroad to live and study but have lost the roots of Chinese tradition. In a rescue process for the injured people, traditional Chinese medicine did not play a role. The people died in pain, and Ya Chisu cried silently in the corner. His path to roots encountered huge blows and setbacks, and his attitude towards traditional culture. From studying to questioning, at night, he packed his luggage, put on a dress, and handed the cut braids to Huang Feihong. He wanted to say goodbye to studying western medicine abroad. This incident was undoubtedly a huge blow to Huang Feihong, his closest person. From studying Western medicine to studying Chinese medicine and finally going to study Western medicine, I thought I could find a balance between tradition and modernity, and between China and the West, but it didn’t take long for this balance to be lost. break in. The impact of reality and ideals brought new thinking to Huang Feihong. Guijiaoqi’s introduction to the legs and Yachasu’s breaking out are a sharp contrast between the two groups in the movie, and they are also the tortuous manifestations of Huang Feihong’s psychological journey and thoughts. It can be seen that the road forward is not always smooth, sometimes Had to go back and try everything over again. Bureaucrats: ① Liu Yongfu: A well-known national hero, but in the late Qing Dynasty when the defeat was set, the hero was late and unable to return to heaven. He has little time to appear in the movie, but because of his cherishment and attention to Huang Feihong's hero, Huang Feihong's role in the movie has risen to the level of a national hero, which is a heavy stroke in shaping the image of Huang Feihong. He didn’t have many lines, but the opening sentence of the first episode of the movie laid the emotional tone and current background of the whole movie: "Huang Feihong, look, now the Western warships have stopped into ours. The port. Hong Kong was given to Britain, Macau was given to Portugal, and Russia occupied Heilongjiang. Even my ancestors could not be kept, and Liu Yongfu sent me to Annan (Annan: ancient name, now referring to Vietnam), where I went to fight with France. .Alas, what would the people of Annan think when they saw my plaque of "My Land and My People"? Come on, take it off, hurry! Alas, there are too many rights and wrongs in the imperial court now, and I think I have too many troops to send me to war. After I am gone, this navy team has been with me for so long and will definitely be disbanded. "The sentence "Send me to war and I think I have too many troops" tells how many generals have felt sore and helpless throughout the ages, and also reflects the decadence and discomfort of the late Qing government from the side. ②Li Hongzhang: He is in the third episode of "Lion King Fighting for Hegemony." "It appeared in "In order to please the Lafayette and realize the so-called martial arts and strengthening the body, to show the national prestige, and to organize the national lion king hegemony. As a result, the major forces killed each other for the lion king gold medal. The form is completely exposed. In the end, Huang Feihong won the gold medal, but he left a strong sentence: "Master Li, the so-called winner is the king, and the loser is the invader. Just now when the sky cannon rang, if there is no sky lantern to block the gun, no one really knows who will win or lose. Now the gold medal is in my Huang's hand, not that I won. The lion’s battle for hegemony held by adults to show off our people’s might, so many people died and injured, in front of the world, in fact, we all lost. In the opinion of the small people, we not only need to practice martial arts to strengthen the body and resist foreign enemies, but the most important thing is to broaden the wisdom of the people and combine wisdom and martial arts. That is the way to prosper the country and strengthen the people. Can a mere brand change the national fortune? I also ask Master Li to think twice. This gold medal, leave it to you as a souvenir! Goodbye! "This episode was released in 1993, and China’s reform and opening up was only ten years old. The economy improved slightly and the Asian Games was held in 1990, which was an ultra-large-scale event for China at the time. However, China’s economy has been declining since 1992. The reform and opening up suffered serious setbacks, followed by the 1997 Asian financial crisis. The "surname capitalist society" was perplexed. Although it cannot be said that there is an inevitable connection, it is also a certain degree of irony, but this kind of irony. It was kind, and it is a great warning now and now. Whether Tsui Hark deliberately or unintentionally, the audience can see the meaning outside the film, but they don’t know what our yamen will think. Of course, By the third episode, Huang Feihong’s vision and thoughts have been greatly improved. The sentence "We not only need to practice martial arts to strengthen the body and resist foreign enemies, but the most important thing is to broaden the wisdom of the people and combine wisdom and martial arts. That is the way to prosper the country and strengthen the people." He has already begun to understand the importance of advanced culture. (2) Close-ups and images of flowers in the rain: Yan Zhendong was performing an art in the rain, Liang Kuan was chasing the thirteenth aunt, passing by watching Yan Zhendong squatting down and picking up the copper plates on the ground one by one. He hadn't slowed down yet, just listened to the prostitute upstairs holding the flowers. He yelled: "Uncle, don't chase, come up." Then the flower fell by Yan Zhendong's side, Liang Kuan looked down, the flowers lying on the ground were hit by the heavy rain, and the flowers were drenched next to them. When Yan Zhendong was hitting, Yan Zhendong looked up at Liang Kuan, and the camera focused on the falling flowers on the ground. Accompanied by the coquettish cries of prostitutes and the patter of rain, this kind of desolation is not something ordinary people can appreciate. Presumably Liang Kuan saw himself from Yan Zhendong, and felt pity for him. The strong contrast makes this lens particularly exciting. In troubled times, some people linger, some endure humiliation, some struggle hard, but all people and things are like falling flowers in the rain, beautiful but easy to break. In the end, he still had to fall from a height, was soaked in heavy rain, and was forever frozen in the era he hated. Cloth shoes: The foreigner injured the Jiu uncle who sells vegetables, Pork Rong was impulsively angry, picked up the guy and the civic group to beg for justice, Master Huang sternly reprimanded and said: "Don't be impulsive, you are not allowed to interfere, now it's about human life. I'm looking for a yamen to clarify this matter with foreigners. Otherwise, how can we Tang people live in Foshan." Then he turned around, the camera was facing his black cloth shoes, motionless. The cloth shoes here symbolize tradition. Huang Feihong often said that he would solve things through the yamen, which showed his inner stability and rationality but also abiding by the tradition. The close-up shots of the cloth shoes are shown appropriately here. Burnt fan: The Shahe Gang attacked Baozhilin and burned the entire Baozhilin. The thirteenth aunt held a camera and failed to protect the paper fan with an unequal treaty written on Liu Yongfu's gift to Huang Feihong before he left. When Huang Feihong came back and saw Aunt Thirteen holding a camera to take pictures of the burned house, he said that the house was almost burnt out and you were still taking pictures! As soon as he finished his speech, he walked into the room and hurriedly opened the paper fan. The content of the treaty was still there, except that the word "no" in the "unequal treaty" was burned. (Suddenly the unequal treaty became an equal treaty) At that time, the camera gave a big close-up of the burnt paper fan, and then looked at the plaque next to "My Land and My People". For a while, I was so angry that I scolded the thirteenth aunt, scolding her for knowing how to play with these Western fans all day long. thing. Baozhilin was burned, paper fans were destroyed, all the old things that represented tradition and national self-esteem were gone, but Western things survived, family hatred, national humiliation, and civilized conflicts, all of which were mixed for a time. , This anger is sad for the past, but also for the confusion of the future. When everything we have is gone, facing the unknown new future, do we accept it completely, or just wait and see? This is not a problem of Huang Feihong alone, nor is it a problem of the late Qing Dynasty. Shadows on the wall: In movies, it often appears that the thirteenth aunt is thinking about the shadows on the walls of the two people. Finally, when the shadows of the two people on the wall are truly reflected in real time, the two people are really together. This is a true and indirect expression of the thirteen aunt's feelings for Huang Feihong, and the changes in the content of the shadows are also a true portrayal of the development of their feelings. I heard that this paragraph and all the emotional dramas in it were written by female screenwriters. No wonder it is so delicate and vivid. The old blind man who sells: In the second episode, Huang Feihong stands on the balcony of the inn at night, looking into the distance. At this time, the wide-angle lens is opened, and the surrounding western buildings are staggered with traditional buildings. The lens starts to slowly zoom out again, and the western battleships and Chinese ships are juxtaposed. The camera came back again and looked down again. The bleak autumn breeze, confetti and trash drifting around, broken streets, dim lights, people smashing and smashing Western buildings, officers and men chasing reactionaries, people running, and ruffians fighting and fighting. There are begging wanderers, there are chaotic night markets, Western horse-drawn carriages, and Chinese sedan chairs. All I hear is a bleak and mellow Cantonese chant in the wind: Wandering away, don’t ask me because I only see the afterglows of the mountain A sad person has a long way to go, and can’t help feeling sad for the troubles ahead. It made me want to learn how to write a pen, go to the military, and work hard, but I was mistaken by the Confucian crown, making it difficult for me to have the ambition to learn. The five lakes are hidden together, but they are enveloped by the enchanting atmosphere. They are far away and say that the rock is rotten, the stone is rotten and the sea is dry, and the love is not lost. Why can’t my heart bear the tears of my eyes, I look at the cold and faint, I am affectionate and fraternity, the two incompetences are far away today, the end of the world is near from now on floating and broken. Singing, accompanied by the wind, accompanied by all the hustle and bustle around, the camera pulled up again. This is the most poignant and beautiful picture in the whole series of movies that I think, individual and country, backward and advanced, China and the West, everything is in this wind, in this song, there is a taste, no More words are needed. In the sunset, the beach is practicing martial arts. The afterglow of the sunset, the sea breeze, the wave, and the black and white flag embroidered with the four characters "Guardian Defend the Country" fluttering in the wind. Huang Feihong led the civic group to practice boxing and martial arts. . This is the most exciting and exciting scene in the whole film. Although the ribs of the members of the militia group are exposed, they are still poor and humble, strengthening their bones, and defending their homes and countries. If every Chinese can continue to strive for self-improvement in this way, who can tell that the sun in front of him is not the rising sun? Just as the lyrics sing: "Arrogant laughs in waves, blood and blood beat the red sun..." It is not necessary to demand that everyone can live out the reality like Huang Feihong, but at least live out that state. (3) "One Type of People" in the Movies ①The bottom-level labor authors: The most typical is the Chinese workers in "The Lion of the Western Regions". When Huang Feihong discovered that they had spread all the hard gains of the day on the gambling table, he did not reprimand, but euphemistically educated him: he also wanted to join and sit in the bank. At this time, the Chinese workers were not as embarrassed and said: "Master Huang even gambled on you. What illusions do people like us have? We don't gamble, we don't gamble." Huang Feihong began to give a speech when he saw this. "Education, and then turned around, the Chinese workers are already asleep. When the Chinese workers knew that Master Huang didn't have time to come the next day, they immediately got together to start a gambling. When Bao Zhilin celebrated the first anniversary of the opening of the American store, Huang Feihong wanted to "speech" again, and the Chinese workers immediately shouted: "Master Huang heard that you are good at cross fist. Give us two tricks." Huang Feihong refused and prepared to speak. During the speech, Aunt Thirteen came out to greet everyone to go in for a snack. The Chinese workers swarmed into the house, and Huang Feihong shook his head slightly. Yachasu said: "Master, it's not that you said badly, it's not the time when Aunt Thirteen came!" Huang Feihong smiled knowingly: "Yes, it's the wrong time." When Aunt Thirteen and Huang Feihong were about to leave San Francisco. Before the car left, the prostitutes recruited by the Chinese workers came. Everyone immediately urged Huang Feihong to go out and said that he was afraid that he would not be able to catch the ship. Then he turned and hugged the fat, short and ugly prostitute. , Every first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, you must be vegetarian. "How funny. There are two contradictory aspects of human nature, and the ugly side of the Chinese workers showed up when Huang Feihong left. I don’t know if it is Tsui Hark’s self-deprecating of his own film art, or mocking the ignorance and ignorance of the workers at the bottom. Lu Xun said that everyone is trapped in a dark room, and no one feels wrong, but if one person finds out, then he is the most painful one, because no one understands him. This is how Tsui Hark and Huang Feihong are at this time. ②People in the streets and alleys: There are many scenes of people of all kinds on the road in the movie. Western missionaries, monks, Manchu sages, foreign troops, hawkers, foreign businessmen, etc. huddled together and walked together, the most typical of them At the beginning of the first episode of "Rising Clouds", the Chinese drummers in the teahouse heard a group of missionaries passing by singing "Hallelujah" downstairs, and immediately said "here again", and then hurriedly played. Even louder, trying to silence the voice of the missionary, the missionary did not show weakness, and shouted louder. A picture of the collision of Chinese and Western cultures is vivid, and the demeanor of others is even more important. At the beginning, everyone was drinking tea and enjoying music. Both ordinary people and monks stood by and watched the missionaries walking by. However, when the sound of music became louder, everyone immediately covered their ears and couldn't bear it. When the voice of the missionaries became louder, everyone still watched them passing by in a daze. ③Pork Rong is the one who loves to fight against injustices: Pork Rong is the most impulsive and irritable among Huang Feihong's apprentices, but also the most righteous one. He loves to fight against injustices. However, many problems were found in him, at least in two aspects: On the one hand, he showed the impulse of ordinary people who love to help others, not restrained, and immediately solved problems with weapons and fists. In the end, it was me who was hurt. On the other hand, he showed the ignorance of ordinary people who are ignorant and laugh at others' ignorance. Here is a snippet: Huang Feihong asked Yajiasu to get the gold creation medicine. Pork Rong laughed at Yajiasu for not being able to speak Chinese. He also snatched a few medicine bottles from Yajiasu and handed it to Huang Feihong. Huang Feihong told them not to fight and fight all day long. Pork Rong said, "Master, I am teaching him how to be a Chinese." Huang Feihong said, then you can bring me Jinchuang medicine and Pork Rong confronts him. Several medicine bottles in the middle said: "Jin Chuang Yao, three words", but when I saw that there were three words written on the medicine bottles, I was embarrassed to smile and said: "Master, I haven't studied." Huang Feihong said: "Oh? Then you still laugh that they are not Chinese?" Then Fang Jiansu handed the Jinchuang medicine to Huang Feihong. It's really ironic, great irony. ④ Forces that kill each other: Whether it is the Shahe Gang, Huang Tianba, etc., or the government and the White Lotus Sect, in the autumn of the survival of the nation, they still fight and kill all day long, do some meaningless fights, and finally suffer countless deaths and injuries. Innocent, but still enjoying it, this kind of internal fighting inherent in China, whether it was before or now, is also a place of reflection and reflection in this film. ⑤The spectators: Lu Xun's spectators are everywhere in the movie. The Shahe Gang chased and killed Liang Kuan, and Pork Rong led the militia to help. The two forces were in great chaos in the streets and alleys. At this time, I only heard someone say, "The six kingdoms (the scene is chaotic and difficult to clean up). Come and see." A group of people climbed onto the bamboo stand to watch. The hawker in business yelled: "Sell sweet cakes, eat sweet cakes and watch fights." Then another group of people squeezed in, bought sweet cakes and ate while enjoying the fight with relish. Indifference and numbness, no matter how appropriate these words are used, they can't match the pain in the heart. (4) Classic dialogue ① Aunt Thirteen wants to customize a suit for Huang Feihong, Huang Feihong asked: "Why do we have to learn from foreign countries everywhere? ... I will wear a suit when all Chinese people in the future wear suits. Right." I don’t know if all of us have put on suits now. I don’t know. I only know that if the ancients came to the present, the only thing we masturbated is that we can at least do basic communication, because in addition to this Outside, we have nothing. ②Huang Feihong saw Sun Wen and Lu Haodong constantly looking at pocket watches and grasping the time, and said to Liang Kuan: "We never thought time was so important before. It seems that we have wasted too much time. Forget it. You don’t understand.” ③Huang Feihong caught the Shahe Gang during the day, but no one wanted to accompany him to the Yamen to help him testify. Be careful, why? Because you will step on gold if you are not careful. Washing your face by the river, holding up the water, there is golden sand. People there wear sunglasses during the day, otherwise the gold will be blinded." Then he turned to leave. A priest preached to him. He asked the priest, "I caught a bad person today. Will Jesus help me be a witness?" The priest was dumb, and Huang Feihong sighed and left. ④The admiral and Huang Feihong stood on the bow and looked into the distance. The admiral said: "Jinshan, is there a gold mountain in the world?" Huang Feihong replied, "If there is a gold mountain in this world, why do these foreign ships come to our port? Maybe we are already standing on the Golden Mountain." This line of dialogue can be described as a classic among the classics. I remembered this picture back then, but I still don’t know whether the place where I stand now is a Golden Mountain. (5) The title of the movie, the theme song and the foreign language translation of the movie "Huang Feihong" into "Once Upon a Time in" "China", that is, "China's Past", the director chose such a grand title without deliberately translating it directly. Some people say that the director is paying tribute to the "epic" masterpiece "Once Upon a Time in America" in the history of film. Some people also say that the director is only complaining with a kind of world-facilitating feelings. We don't agree on the facts. Whether it’s the United States in the 1920s and 1930s, or China more than a hundred years ago, it’s the past. Recalling the past is more not a nostalgia for the past, but a view and reflection on reality. People belong to the era, and people in every era have the constraints of his era. Whether it is a "fool" confined to the era or a hero who breaks through the limitations of his own era, in fact, more of it is to live out himself. Huang Feihong is not only a great master, but also a perfect spiritual idol, but this perfection is haggard in terms of life in this world. His people, events, and time are just past events, so from the movie title " "My Past in China" to the theme song "A Man Should Be Self-Strengthening" has shown me such a theme all the time: Man and Han, Gangs and Government, Nation and the West, Martial Arts and Guns, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Studies, Ethics and Love, Conservation and Revolution, Suppression and riots, invasion and resistance... When individual elements are opposed, intertwined, and friction, when the life and death of an individual blends with the survival of the country and the nation, standing at the crossroads of the collision of Chinese and Western civilizations, is it going back or going forward? , Or perplexed? In fact, it is the people at the bottom of society who suffer the most in the end.
