The quality of the disc is very poor, but I was still moved by the title. The plain and melancholy tunes paired with the pictures of the prints already foreshadowed what kind of film this was. After watching the title, I was already moved by the song, and I was addicted to it. Although I may not know it, it was a wonderful rope performance at the beginning, and then the escape, Gongji and Changsheng, two clowns with masks, blurred faces, only Can hug in the play, but the feeling is never blurred. Seeing Gongji being favored by the official, his face is gloomy. In order for him not to be sold, he would rather be beaten, and in order for him to be able to act again, he did not hesitate to kill the class leader, his hands stained with blood. Seeing the two embrace each other in the mountains by taking the opportunity of acting, they feel safe, less ambiguous, and only feel affectionate. It's a pity that the love didn't last... The
two came to Hanyang, conquered the Liujia Qiping and Bafu together, conquered the audience together, everything was so good, until they were caught in the palace, and their fate was no longer in their own hands. In the palace, the little one's palace became their rivers and lakes, and several people could not help themselves in it, each with their own destiny. Gongji met the weak, willful and absurd king, and he was also an unfortunate king. There are similarities in the same way. I can't tell whether it is the brutal personality or the miserable environment that made the king, so I think the king is pitiful and pathetic, especially when he sees his tears and his miserable life experience, maybe Gongji feels the same way, It's not love but he is reluctant to leave him. The script is adapted from the play "And". The original script wrote that Gongji was reluctant to leave the palace because he was greedy for fame and fortune, but this is obviously not the case in the movie. Every time someone is going to die, everyone is uneasy. Gongji gave the four-rank official, and then it was the turn of the people in the troupe to die. Everyone had to leave, but Changsheng didn’t want to leave. He didn’t want to. He left Gongji, but when Gongji came in front of him, he picked up the burden and made a move to leave. In fact, he knew that he couldn't go. Gongji grabbed his hand and broke free. Gongji forced him to stay with a knife. He grabbed the knife and went to chop the guy who was performing arts, chopped the rope that he depended on for a living, and when he saw this, he started to cry. Changsheng wanted to leave but didn't give up on Gongji. The affection and powerlessness of a man made people feel distressed.
Wang thought he liked Gongji, but he was imprisoned because of a little trick to frame him. Changsheng stood up again and took the blame for him. At dawn, he would be beheaded. Gongji would only cry and beg the king to release Changsheng. The old inner tuber who entered the palace had already released Changsheng privately, and said parting: throw away Gongji. It's a proverb but it can't get into Changsheng's ear anymore, he never threw away Gongji, never before and never will, so he went back to the palace, stood on a rope so high that it had never been hung before, and began to play himself The best play, after scolding Wang and then scolding Gongji, you have to see this to understand who is the real protagonist in this play, his firmness, his perseverance, and his affection are all moving, and he finally scolds When Gongji woke up, it also angered Wang. After being caught, Gongji and Changsheng competed to die. Changsheng once again used himself to protect Gongji. The expressions of the two aroused the jealousy of Wang, and he abused again After losing his power, Changsheng's eyes were scalded and blinded, and everything was silent.
The upcoming part is the most emotional part of the film, and it is also a very tortuous part. Changsheng, who was imprisoned, told a story to the jailer. It turned out that the two had been together when they were very young. He helped him for the first time. The two escaped together. , practice walking the rope, "then they suddenly hit me with a stick, I blocked it with my mouth, that's why my mouth is so hot like now... If I blocked the stick with my eyes at that time, would I block it with my mouth today?" "I You have performed blind acting all your life, but now you are really blind and die if you don't perform once?" The bitter and sour words set off Mumu's Gongji's face. He still performed a puppet show for the king, but in the play he made Changsheng and Gongji lean on each other. He secretly cut his wrists and blood dripped on the ground. She said Changsheng's words: ? "I've been performing blind acting all my life, but now I'm really blind and die if I don't perform once?" Then he collapsed. Wang looked at the bloodstains all over the floor and shouted why. Before the love of the two, Wang finally became cowardly. He knew that he couldn't afford this love, and he couldn't stop it, so he went back to the woman and lay on her skirt.
The next day Wang finally fulfilled his wish for longevity. In front of the rope, longevity seemed to have returned to the past. Although he could never go back to the past again, Gongji looked pale and watched him walk on the rope for the last time. The two finally got on the rope again. When they met, Wang looked at the two and his eyes became very timid, but he actually destroyed them, but it was also he who inspired the love in their hearts. It was Wang who really made Gongji understand that longevity was what he had in mind. King. Gongji asked Changsheng what he would do in the next life. He didn't like to be an official or a king. He still wanted to be an actor. He asked Gongji in return. Gongji cried and said, "Of course I want to be an actor too." In the end, along with the people who broke through the royal city, the figures of the two of them were also fixed on the screen. Looking at the figures of the two, I remembered the freeze frame of the last car crashing down the cliff in "Crazy Flowers at the End of the Road".
Thinking of the first two people who came to Hanyang to watch tricks together, Changsheng took out the snacks that he brought with him and handed it to Gongji. The two looked at each other and smiled... It's been
a long time since I was so moved. Korean movies are rare and fresh, thanks to the idealization of Koreans, this film reminds me of "Farewell My Concubine", which is the story of a playboy and a bitch, but Farewell My Concubine is desolate and helpless, but the king's man is affectionate Ruosi, Perhaps the former is the real life, but the latter shows us love and hope.
