The director's introduction
"I think a good director is a successful inducer. He can observe things organically, control the material, and express life well in the film. I like dramatic material, it is a good way to test human nature. I do not I really like films that are too documentary and attract audiences with absolute realism, but they should not be too dramatic. In that case, the audience will think it’s fake.”

China in this film has infinite cultural significance, and Westerners must fully It's almost impossible to understand, and the irony is that I was one of the writers on this film, but I never fully understood what it was all about.

How .shtml dissolves the blood and cruelty of violence has become an important issue in the study of genre films. Chinese martial arts films offer a series of successful experiences in this regard.
"Doing the Way for Heaven" itself is to eliminate evil for the "people". The martial arts film is a non-secular expression of this secular conflict, which has won the "conviction" of the film from the majority of Chinese audiences.
The martial arts combat movements in martial arts movies often evolve into a performative "dance of martial arts" during the narrative process. At this time, its "practical function" of fighting sex has actually given way to the "performance function" of dance.
Ang Lee infuses martial arts films with a sense of dignity.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" audio-visual language analysis
1.
Regarding the cultural background of the story, the space expands infinitely. "Luo Xiaohu Releases Eagles in the Gobi", pays attention to Luo Xiaohu's fictional robber life, and communicates through the eagle's dream of "Half Tianyun" on time.
2. Film omission and its requirements for audience's cultural level
The audience set by Ang Lee in "The Duel between the Blue-Eyed Fox and the Catchers" has some knowledge of martial arts novels, but "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a multi-layered story, and everyone can get what they want.
3. Theme Expansion
Ang Lee is a personal literary director, using a very simple story on the surface to contain the profound Taoist philosophy of life. The positive Li Mubai, who is the best swordsman in the world, pursues "getting liberation from the Tao, and passing away forever". There is a contradiction between career and love, and there is no joy in gaining the Tao, only sadness.
Jen is Li Mu Bai's predecessor, the road to find martial, martial arts, the technology is complementary with the German
wise man (genius) Jen road of discovery process
last jumping Jen is an acquittal, her life can give pointers The

conclusion is that the rivers and lakes and life have the same goal, showing the profound Chinese culture, and through the popular martial arts stories, showing the wise man's pursuit of "getting the Tao" in traditional Chinese martial arts. And it was his confusion in the process, which well regained the viewing purpose of audiences at all levels.

    I watched it again, and it still feels so good. And as I grew older, I became more able to understand what Li Ang wanted to express. Whether it is Li Mubai's forbearing love for Yu Xiulian, or Luo Xiaohu's love for Yujiaolong, I am deeply moved. Zhang Ziyi is only good at acting in this film, Zhang Zhen is so handsome!

    Zhang Ziyi's Jade Dragon is comparable to Maggie Cheung's gold inlaid jade. The battle of the bamboo forest is probably the impression many foreigners have of Chinese martial arts.
