"Drunken Man" film critic Hu Jinquan's "Drunken Man" directed by Hu Jinquan is a very good movie. What attracts me most is its classical cultural atmosphere. Let me see traditional culture and see China. But being able to use the camera lens and the film to present Chinese traditional culture delicately and vividly, the rhythm is neither fast nor slow, just right, and it is really commendable. The whole style is very classic. On the screen: The whole is like a moving comic strip. The grasp of the picture, the proportions of people and objects, the colors, the positions of the people, and the moving positions are all natural. At the beginning, the picture of the jade-faced tiger appearing when blocking the sedan chair came out from the background of the mountain; the golden swallow appeared from the small bridge and flowing water, and the residence of the drunk man, etc. On the costumes and props: there are many traditional cultural elements: such as folding fans, pots for boiling Chinese medicine, word puzzles in temples, golden swallows’ hairpins, hats, shackles on the body, bronze mirrors in golden swallows’ guest rooms, etc. In "Drunken Man", the folding fan has several magical uses: when Jin Yanzi appears on the stage, he holds the folding fan; he holds the closed folding fan in his hand to ask the drunk man for advice; One side, he ordered to start. The second master Jade Mianhu used a folding fan to hide poison needles; when the second master Jade Mianhu fought against Jin Yanzi in the temple, he opened the folding fan and ordered the temple door to be closed. Character image: The image of Jin Yanzi is very successful, fully reflected in the eyes and gait. When Xiaoqiao Liushui first appeared on the stage, the righteousness, aura and childishness in his eyes, coupled with a cautious gait, showed Jin Yanzi, and when he went to the temple to dress up as a woman, there was more lightness in his cautious gait. . Martial arts method: stab directly with a sword, etc., can't see who the opponent is, only hear a scream, and then draw the knife or sword. This way of presenting the shots not only results in the other party, but also clean and neat, reflecting the rhythm of the rivers and lakes. The remarkable thing is: Jin Yanzi's appearance is really wonderful. In the inn, the first encounter with Xiao Mianhu and others was smooth and smooth, with no extra design, and every step was just right. Plot: Use a smooth plot design to express the trend of things, the contest between the enemy and the enemy, the viciousness of the five tigers, the character characteristics of the drunk man, etc. In the plot design of the protagonist Drunk Man: There are several surprises: When the door of the inn was about to close, the hand came out first, and the hand was caught by the door. The drunk man appeared, and he wanted to participate in this matter. Entering the game in this way, everyone was unprepared; this was the first beauty, and the appearance was unexpected; at night , trying to lead Jin Yanzi out of the house and escaped the evil of the five tigers, this is the second magic point; using the method of anagrams to tell Jin Yanzi where to look, this is the third magic point; killing the old fifth and so on The process of the five people sending the corpse back to negotiate in person is the fourth magic point; when the two sides reach an agreement and agree to exchange the hostages, the drunk man hides under the car again, which is the fifth magic point. All have unexpected effects. In addition, other plot scenes: secret help to Jin Yanzi in the temple; when being locked up, stealing the poison needle from the fan, fighting against the sky, etc. All the plots add up to show the image of a hero and a master of the rivers and lakes with experience, courage, strategy, affection and justice. It's good-looking, and I love the classic atmosphere throughout the film.
