This time Zhang Tianzhi's story is very simple,
As simple as, em...
The girl I went with fell asleep.
But, it doesn't affect me wanting to praise it at all!
The purpose of this movie is not to make you think about what martial arts is, or even to promote and inherit martial arts. He was just telling a fairy tale about kung fu. There is conspiracy in this story, there is justice, there is resistance, there are heroes and villains.
But all the images are completed in a small universe, and even the background of the story is borrowed and made up. The screenwriter created a colonial Hong Kong with the help of history, where everything that we like and see can happen here, just like a child's Picture books tell stories in a childish tone.
For example, in a British colony, a group of Chinese police arrested the British police, which is impossible.
But it is this fairy-tale feeling that is the special and lovely thing about "Ip Man's Biography: Zhang Tianzhi".
So after watching this movie, my biggest feeling is: I watched a burning manga!
Burning Standard One: Hot-blooded and pure-hearted heroine
The heroine played by Liu Yan, as the sister of the owner of the bar street, is enthusiastic and righteous and dares to act.
In order to save her sisters, she could go alone to meet drug dealers, and fight against each other when there were too many people; aside from taking in Zhang Tianzhi and his son, she was not afraid of getting burned. In short, she is a brave and kind girl.
At the same time, as a resident singer in the bar street, there is no trace of dust in this character. When she sings on the stage, she gives people a feeling of youth and agility. This feeling may come from her simplicity.
When Zhang Tianzhi asked the heroine: Are you happy so easily?
I thought the heroine would say that business girls don’t know the hatred of the country, and across the river still sings the chaotic feelings of the backyard flowers. After all, even Yiping would say that business girls also have the difficulties and helplessness of business girls; , Drunk life and dream death to deal with the danger and wandering in troubled times.
As a result, she said: She is very happy because she does what she loves every day and feels that every day is meaningful.
Well, with a proper girly manga, all the huge suffering can be resolved in the small pursuit of the individual.
Burning Standard II: Master of Justice Male Protagonist
Because the heroine is like this, I don't expect how deep and struggling the hero's self-salvation and return will be. After all, the wonderfulness of this movie is made by Zhang Jin.
Among them, the opposite scene between Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Jin was the part I was most looking forward to, and the movie did not disappoint me.
Michelle Yeoh uses a knife, her movements are chic and smooth, her moves are ruthless, she cuts horizontally and vertically, and the knife can kill her. On the opposite side, Zhang Jin dodged and counterattacked, and he was about to die a second later under Michelle Yeoh's offensive. In the whole scene, there is not a single move that is not beautiful, not a punch or a kick that is not strong enough.
This scene is the "soul" of the movie. The power of the eighth master has not been lost over time.
Zhang Tianzhi is a sub-character in the movie "Ip Man" series. After being defeated by Ip Man, he was frustrated and gave up using Wing Chun. Therefore, in this movie, he already had a stunt as soon as he appeared, but he just wanted to live a stable life incognito. It is also one of the main tasks of the film to let the protagonist overcome the demons and achieve self.
Although Zhang Tianzhi just wants to be an ordinary person, he does not avoid evil forces, and he will repay any revenge and kindness. Don't offend people, people offend me. While letting go of hatred, it also ignited the chivalrous spirit in the hearts of martial arts practitioners.
After experiencing the baptism of the three volumes of Ip Man, my brain nerves have inevitably suffered from the aesthetic fatigue of beating foreign bigwigs. At this time, the arrival of "Ip Man's Biography: Zhang Tianzhi" is simply a shock. Clear flow.
The final confrontation in "Ip Man" was under the lens of Chinese and foreign reporters and under the watchful eyes of countless audiences. After the fight, the spirit of martial arts must be promoted and the Chinese people are not the sick man of East Asia. Such a grand and heavy theme is placed on the The body of a martial arts master really makes people accept incompetence.
Although Zhang Tianzhi also completed the final duel with foreigners, the more important reason why Zhang Tianzhi went to fight the foreigner who trafficked drugs was that this person hurt the people he cared about, and national justice was only an incidental task. When he said: "Wing Chun, Zhang Tianzhi", the courage ignited for the one he loved broke through the inner shackles.
The protagonist of Ranman, at this point, the character image has been completed, and the road of self-remodeling has also been completed. There is no need for a larger theme to bless it.
Burning standard three: mysterious behind-the-scenes forces
I would like to say that if there is a bit of aura in this movie, it is all from Michelle Yeoh.
Needless to say, the play is hearty.
Michelle Yeoh's literary drama is also powerful. As the eldest sister of the gang, she is at the top of the food chain in the entire movie and can be on an equal footing with the British. She was relentless when it came to clearing the door. When her younger brother wanted to seize power, she was calm in the face of danger.
However, it was such a powerful gangster with a strong background who wanted to gain a good reputation at the charity dinner, but was ridiculed and driven away by the serious businessmen under the stage. Our eldest sister also satirized these businessmen on stage for being clean and private. Also for rape.
I was blinded at the time, so weren't these businessmen's private deeds done with the biggest local gangster? It doesn't make sense.
However, the biggest villain on the other side, the foreign drug dealer, has no one around him who can beat people and has no effective escape measures. He is really a simple drug dealer.
The eldest sister, Da and the drug dealer, as the two biggest snobs in the film, their purpose and character are exposed too quickly and too clearly, and there are many unreasonable plots. But these plots are not worth going into, and once you go into it, you miss the cuteness of the film.
When these elements are added together, you can't see this show from a realistic perspective. Like all hot-blooded stories, the conspiracy is not deep, the characters are not dark, the plot is not struggling, and the theme is not grand Yes , but it's a story that can take root in a child's heart, and it gives us a raw and simple cool.
Finally, going back to the beginning, the part where the girl who went with me fell asleep was indeed a bit of a drag on the structure.
But she woke up during the fight between Zhang Jin and Michelle Yeoh, and I heard her take a few breaths.
