The protagonists of Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are actually not very clear, and they are roughly divided into two groups. Yujiaolong and Luo Xiaohu symbolize dragons and tigers in the western world, show their individuality and dare to act. Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian represent the dragons and tigers in oriental culture, they are subtle and heavy, forbearance and restraint. Among them, the personality conflict between Yu Jiaolong and Li Mubai is even more obvious. Yu Jiaolong wanted to escape from the real world and escaped into the rivers and lakes, yearning for the passionate years of swords, swords and shadows, joy and hatred; Li Mubai, who had gone through the vicissitudes of life, was tired of the grievances and entanglements in the rivers and lakes. . The two are like prison birds in a besieged city, yearning for each other's vast world and happy life. Ang Lee replaces subjective sensationalism with objective narratives, making Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon a different kind of martial arts style that is completely different from the love-hate, vigorous and vigorous chivalrous style of previous martial arts films. From actors, costumes, sets, photography to soundtracks, all of them reflect a Taoist spirit of advocating nature and leisurely tranquility. He put fights and grievances in a secondary position, and put his heart and ideals in the main, and integrated the exploration of cultural differences and philosophy of life into the movies of limited time. The rivers and lakes he depicts do not focus on weapons, secrets, gangs and treasures, but on emotion, communication, heart and trek. He explored the profound side of the rivers and lakes and showed the inner world of the knight. It is these that make "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" stand out from many martial arts films, winning the favor of Oscar and the recognition of the world with its unique cultural style. Let's talk about "Jianghu". When it comes to martial arts, you can't bypass the "Jianghu". What exactly is "Jianghu"? When it comes to Jianghu, we all think of "sinister Jianghu". It seems that Jianghu is a turbulent society with constant turmoil and endless disputes. Once you enter the rivers and lakes, you will be wandering for life. It always gives people a feeling of being both wonderful and dangerous, making people feel curious and want to get a glimpse of it, but also afraid of being trapped in it. Is "Jianghu" really that complicated? In my opinion, "Jianghu" is a dualistic unity of contradictions. It is very broad, so Zhuangzi said, "It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes"; it is also very narrow, so that Gu Long summed it up as "people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." It is very secular, but Dongpo said, "I wandered in the rivers and lakes in the east and the west, and I have not washed the mud between my feet when I return."
