recently, it was a coincidence that I watched a legendary director who was always applauded and unpopular in a place far away from the place I used to be familiar with. A new movie with the word "Jingweier" wrapping the whole content.
In fact, in recent years, I have been going to the cinema to watch domestic films more and more frequently. One reason is that the types of domestic films are becoming more and more abundant, and the other reason is that the film consciousness of domestic filmmakers is currently advancing in a more passive way. But there is no doubt that this director, who is used to speaking with his works, tells vivid stories one by one, and finally directs all his emotions directly to the hearts of the audience, but he always walks his own film road in a way of firmly controlling the initiative.
The scene that the film appeared in front of the audience from the beginning completely established the final direction of the story and the tone that has never changed. If you grew up under the roots of the four and nine cities, if you traveled through various alleys since you were a child, you will not be unfamiliar with the various interspersed and whistling in the movie, time and time again, from your ears, from in front of you A variety of looks that swept through.
Frankly speaking, when all kinds of backgrounds poured in, I looked at the smoggy sky, the white snow that couldn’t be melted cleanly, and the winter sky that was almost invisible in the four and nine cities. My heart fell. Pain. The depression in his heart was filled with a tingling feeling that was far more painful than the cold wind blowing on the street.
It may be that the sense of substitution is too strong, and I even had to search for an answer with full worry at the beginning - I was thinking, how can friends who grew up in the south find an entry point to understand the story of the north, the story of the south How can friends find an emotional resonance point to watch this film that is irrigated with too many "cold" elements. But when the movie ended and various scenes were circling in my mind, as if dragging me into a whirlpool, I never remembered my original worries.
This story is so big that I think it is too difficult to simply analyze its framework just by picking up a pen now; this story is so detailed that there are so many things behind every detail that are worthy of further study and scrutiny. Perhaps, I should be thankful that the director was him, so the film didn't appear top-heavy, the frame wasn't too big, and the details weren't too small, but I'm also very sorry that the director was him, or I should say that I regret that this movie had to delete some things that cannot be seen on the screen because of a series of uncontrollable factors. I think those things may have more blood and more morality , more rules, but had to be like "Liu Ye", left with enthusiasm and ideals that never betrayed; like the "Jianghu morality" insisted by "Liu Ye", in the new society that goes with the flow , gradually disappearing until extinction.
When a "Liu Ye" who has his own rules for walking the rivers and lakes and his own rules for dealing with the world appears on the screen like me, at that moment, I seem to have never seen him - this propped up the Chinese movie The director of half the country in the Lunar New Year stall is gradually becoming more and more lonely in the rivers and lakes that once belonged to him but now does not belong to him. The appearance of it has been abandoned in the old river of time, unable to move forward. Gone are the days when one could have the most "righteousness in the rivers and lakes", and the time when oneself walked with the wind and was the rule is gone forever.
Times will change and years will grow old. The only things that won't change are Liu Ye, Man San'er, and Lampshade, the group of people who are used to standing upright, and we call it "the old stone at the foot of the wall". But this feeling, in this movie, is more like a huge irony, more like a subtle cold humor that mocks reality infinitely without losing a fight.
This movie may have contributed a considerable surprise - when a silver-haired Xiao Fei appeared, I heard someone in the cinema not far from me gasping for air. Frankly speaking, an actor who is too good-looking will suffer more on the road as an actor, because his appearance will attract too much attention in the first place. However, this time, Kris Wu, who played Xiao Fei, did not let us focus on admiring his appearance like a god-given appearance. He is like a lonely boy sitting on a luxury cruise ship on the surging waves. What outsiders see is the luxurious appearance of the "cruise ship" and the powerful force of the "cruise ship", but no one can see that the cruise ship Xiaofei, he can't grasp the direction of the forward, he can't even feel the turbulence of the waves on the real waves. Because of this, he did not see the "ruthlessness" of the real Jianghu people who lived on the rivers and lakes, nor did the Jianghu people carry the Jianghu breath. Maybe because I have something in common with Xiaofei, when I saw his self-knowledge being destroyed again and again, and his tangled contradictions again and again, I also seemed to see a man who was overwhelmed by too many rules in front of reality. For myself, I seem to have seen myself behind my parents, looking at their backs, but yearning to break all the rules. I don't know how many people understand the helplessness behind Xiao Fei, the desire and the possession stand on opposite scales. He has a "chivalrous dream" in his heart, and I even guessed that if he lived in a real martial arts world, he should be a hero with "chivalrous tenderness". But in reality, such a world does not exist, so Xiao Fei has become a solitary and handsome, who thinks he is cool, but is actually just a middle-2 boy who has not grown up. I would like to thank Wu Yifan in particular, his Xiaofei fills my heart with pity, but not the slightest disgust; his Xiaofei makes me feel that it is so normal for me to have a dream that no one else has in the past, and it’s not that I deceive myself. "Bai Yueguang"; his Xiao Fei, let me realize that I was the most immature myself, just like him, full of enthusiasm, but I didn't know that the world was difficult.
Maybe the film's rendering skills are too strong, maybe the director's ability to tell the story is too strong, or maybe the acting skills of Liu Ye and Xiao Fei are too good. It should have the appearance that this society should have existed. When Xiao Fei said that he believed that the people in the book existed in reality after seeing Liu Ye, his eyes were worth remembering for a lifetime. Spiritual actors, we have always used the content in the eyes to describe. After watching Wu Yifan's Xiao Fei, you will find that another actor with content in the eyes has appeared. That's why I mentioned it earlier -- this movie, probably contributed a pretty big surprise.
For me, a movie is worth thinking about after watching it, that is a good movie that can be recommended to friends and kindly invited to go to the cinema with them and savor it again; and if, after watching a movie, , I am also willing to grind it in front of the computer for a few hours to elaborate on some of the things I have seen, that is a movie worth sharing with everyone-whether you and I have met or not, whether we are friends or not good movie.
I recommend a movie. The most beautiful thing is that time goes by without a trace. Do you still remember a movie that I watched side by side with you that is worthy of being engraved in the depths of your memory and brought out from time to time. Just like what "Old Pao'er" told and shared with us, time will take away so many things that we once thought indelible, but only the memories we always forget in a hurry at first will be left behind. That memory, I don't care It's called - empathy.
When the show is over, you will remember that an era is getting old, but you have been heartbroken for it.
