This is the end result of the revolution. The purpose of the revolution is so zealous, but the result is secular, and will not be forever noble because of the nobility of the leader.
I have to say that this is a good movie, although he is not as good as "Bright Days in the Sun", with such a profound theme and such a squandered youth. If sunshine is the blood of youth, then this is the blood of middle age. Chinese Westerns.
Jiang Wen is a man. That kind of emphasis on speaking, that kind of domineering, in that film, it overwhelmingly defeated other people. He is the pivot of the whole play. Although in the storyline, his role has also failed, lost a woman, a master, and a brother, but in the end, he still won the audience alone. Is the appearance of wearing a military uniform the dream of every boy when he is young? Is that agile novice seeing too much martial arts projection? In the face of a woman's undisguised liking, who doesn't feel released?
This vigorous life, most Chinese people do not have. Need capital, need experience. In short, the atmosphere, the atmosphere, the domineering ah domineering.
Ge You plays the master in it. Some people jokingly called him the "heroine" of the play. He added a lot of comedy to this hot-blooded story, making the whole film look less dull. After all, when everyone goes to the cinema, the picture is relaxed. In fact, Ge You made his debut very early. He has been acting mostly in dramas before, and he made many cameos in the early days. Later, he went to "Stubborn Lord", to "Farewell My Concubine", and then to his "Alive", and finally won the grand prize in foreign film festivals, but unfortunately he was not regarded as a big actor. Until I met Feng Xiaogang - - 1997? It became popular for more than 10 years.
So that play can actually have him, any expression can release all the pressure of the viewer.
Jiang Wen and Ge You just formed a radiance in the play, one is masculine, one is feminine, one is strong, one is "vulgar", one is righteous, one is profit, one loves to laugh, one loves to cry, one is innocent and dares to love and hate, In a messy family, one dares to take out a gun if he sees someone, and if he hears a sound, he dares to run away. It can almost be a specimen of a play script. And the two people reminded each other and gradually got to know each other -- they established revolutionary friendship for different purposes, deceived each other and helped each other.
Ge You's performance left the venue too early - - - and in an extremely absurd way - - I really wish he lived to the last second.
Chow Yun-fat plays the bad guy in it. Some people say that the highest level of a good actor is to look at the lover and the enemy in the same way. Zhou seems to be such an actor, and his performance in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is my favorite. Early Zhou played many absurd comedy roles in Hong Kong films, including the sissy eight-star Annunciation, and also played many Jianghu brothers like "Across the World", also played "Autumn Fairy Tale", and also played "Anna "The King" is one of the few actors who don't feel awkward when a Hong Kong star is placed in a mainland film. The directors of the mainland are also blessed to have invited him over the past few years with such a good box office in the mainland.
Suddenly I felt that he played the role, but I have nothing to say, a complex bully who was defeated in the end? One person to play two roles?
The other actors
start with the actresses, who appear very briefly in the film. Speaking of men's films, it seems that the supporting roles of women are all - - - easy to do so. Carina Lau's performance is very charming, and Zhou Yun's performance is very simple and moving - No wonder Jiang Wen married Zhou Yun, and she is really suitable for being a wife, and I don't forget to add some scenes to myself that I can't get in the play.
Zhang Mo plays Jiang Wen's adopted son and is the first character to appear, with a cool look. Chen Kun plays Chow Yun-fat's subordinate, and the shape is very yin. It can be regarded as a breakthrough in the opposite of the image created by the two parties before. Zhang Mo plays a good guy who is too honest, can't reason with others, and is deceived, and Chen Kun plays a bad guy with a deep scheming -- in turn, there is no breakthrough.
Overall, this is an absurd western, a man's film, a wits-fighting film, a comedy, and a film that takes care of rotten girls.
Worth going to the cinema. Laugh with everyone.
