are not many people with Solo lau/Wenzhen temperament, but Tsui Hark is definitely one of them. In the 1990s, the master of the new wave of Hong Kong movies, single-handedly pushed Chinese martial arts films to the peak. When Linghu Chong's frankness and unrestrainedness and Huang Feihong's righteousness and righteousness amazed all the audience, everyone affectionately called him "ghost talent" and "weird man". But if there is no real romance in the bones, how can Tsui Hark outline for us the strange worlds of worlds that are imaginative and heroic. "Zhuangzi: The World" has a cloud: Poetry is based on Taoism. Poetry is often the best way to see the author's mind. This time, I will see his romantic feelings through the poetry in Tsui Hark's films.
The situation in the world is beyond my generation, just like the time in the rivers and lakes.
In the chatting and laughing of Emperor Tubaye, it is a drunken life.
——"Swordsman: The Invincible of the East"
mentioned the movie "Swordsman" series, martial arts movie fans have too many memories, such as Linghu Chong sword dance and firefly light and elegant, Dongfang Invincible is amazing and refined with wine in the air All are unforgettable classic scenes. Of course, there is also the song "A Laugh in the Sea". One night many years ago, three frivolous and unruly talents of the world, how they sang drunkenly and swayed their arrogance together, we don't know, but after that night, another movie appeared in the film industry. Classic, the music scene also gave birth to a swan song.
This poem is also often sung by movie fans. "The world is better than my generation", which young boy did not have such a proud ambition, "just like the years of the rivers and lakes", but he will always be gradually smoothed out by reality, and eventually sink into the world. "Imperial figure and hegemony are talking and laughing", heroes from ancient times and modern times have appeared in large numbers, but even if they are princes and generals, in the end, "there are many things in ancient and modern times, all of which are in jokes." "Incomparable to being drunk in one's life" is really not as pleasant as being drunk. The artistic conception of the whole poem is very close to Yang Shen's "Linjiang Immortal", and it also conforms to the theme of Jin Yong's original work. This poem was recited from the outspoken and unrestrained Linghu Chong's mouth, adding a sense of happiness that was proud of life. I don't know what Dongfang Invincible will think after listening to it, but from his thoughtful smile, it is not difficult to see that the current generation of heroes is definitely not as persistent as usual. In the final battle at Heimuya, Dongfang Invincible recited this poem after seeing Linghu Chong, lamenting the impermanence of the world.
Raising a sword and riding a straddle, wielding the rain of ghosts, piles of bones and birds start to fly.
The world is like a tide of people like water, and I can sigh that a few people return to the rivers and lakes.
——"Swordsman: The Invincible East of
Jianghu " If the previous poem is to express reclusive feelings, then this one is to tell the sad fate of people in the Jianghu. Raising a sword and riding a straddle, wielding the rain of ghosts, piles of bones and birds start to fly. For fame and fortune, too many people paid a painful price, and some even lost their lives. But even if it is a one-shot success, it will feel a little worthless when looking back on the bitter life when sitting in the ideal position. But the world is like a tide of people, and few people can resist the tide of the world. Many times, there is no choice in the face of world affairs. As Gu Long said, "people are in the rivers and lakes, and they cannot help themselves." Where there are people, there will be grievances, and there will be grievances and grievances. Life is living in the rivers and lakes. This is fate, how can you retreat? Perhaps the only thing that can be done is "a pot of turbid wine is happy to meet each other", "not better than a drunken life".
All sentient beings in heaven and earth have gray hair, and there is no vicissitudes in the world.
—— "The Rise of the Swordsman"
Right and wrong in the world are endless, and when you see through these meaningless disputes, you are often full of gray hair. But even if you hide in the ends of the earth, it is difficult to escape the clutches of the secular world, so the East is invincible. It is a pity that even if this generation of heroes and martial arts are unparalleled in the world, they can say "you have science, I have magic skills", but they can't resist fate. strength. After the hustle and bustle of changing the color of the wind and clouds, it is still light and light, and those who want to control their destiny are often played with applause by fate, and eventually become cloudy smoke.
Ten miles of Pinghu, the sky is full of frost, every inch of blue silk is melancholy.
Looking at each other in the shape of the moon, I only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals.
——Tsui Hark's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story"
Shili Pinghu is full of green sky, and the hosta secretly cherishes the Chinese New Year.
If the rain cover can protect each other, I will only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals.
——Li Hanxiang's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story"
Leslie Cheung wrote the seven masterpieces in the 1987 edition of "A Chinese Ghost Story", adapted from a poem in Li Hanxiang's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the author is said to be the screenwriter Ruan Jizhi or the producer Tsui Hark, But it looks like it should be Tsui Hark's handwriting. Li Hanxiang loves Fengyue alone, while Tsui Hark is obsessed with romance.
Li Shi begins with "The sky is full of green", a strong feeling of spring, while Xu's version of "The sky is full of frost" shows a desolation of the world. The second line of Li's poem is "The hostel secretly cherishes the Chinese New Year", which is a typical daughter's family concern, while Xu Shi's "An inch of blue silk is sad for the Chinese New Year" is a little bit of time passing but still unsatisfactory. The biggest difference is in the third sentence. Li Shi's "If you get a rain cover, you can protect each other" is that the daughter's family longs for a partner who can protect her, which is clearly a manifestation of her passion in her youth. Xu Shi's "Looking at each other in the shape of a moon" means that he hopes to have a confidant in life and to be able to tell each other's heart. One is Fengyue and Spring Sorrow, the other is lonely thinking of virtuous people, and judgement is made.
Liu Suifeng went to flowers and wandered, Hua Tuo was unable to heal the waves in the world.
A song is difficult to complete half a lifetime, and there are many good luck in a floating life.
——"Young Huang Feihong: The Iron Horse"
Although "Young Huang Feihong: The Iron Horse" is a rumored work of the "Once Upon a Time" series of films, Tsui Hark only works as a screenwriter and producer, but it does not affect the transmission of the film in the slightest. A strong sense of family and country. The city of Guangzhou in the movie is just a microcosm of China in the late Qing Dynasty, with internal and external aggression, and the people's hardship. Even good doctors like Iron Monkey and Huang Qiying can't do anything. Facing the bleak world, Tsui Hark can only express his powerlessness. I believe that Mr. Lu Xun will be more touched when he sees this sentence "Hua Tuo is difficult to heal the world", knowing that studying medicine cannot fundamentally save the people, so he abandoned medicine and started writing. It is not difficult to see through the reality, but what is difficult is that after seeing through the reality, you can start from your home country and have the great courage to know it is impossible. This is also the greatness of Mr.
The crane has followed the shadow of the cloud, and the needle is still cold in the moonlight.
——"New Crane Needle"
The two poems in "New Crane Needle" are more quaint and romantic, but lacking in agility, and their artistic conception is far from "the world is full of love and gray hair, and the world has no vicissitudes of life". There is no thorough wisdom to understand the world, and the expression is only a sense of loss. Missing but not seeing, the remaining lustrous needles, only the sadness of seeing things and thinking of people.
