needs a knight in any martial arts movie. He is strong in martial arts and unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness - this is also the character setting of Li Mubai in the film. His swordsmanship, just like his life, has reached the highest level. There is such a classic scene in the film - in the background surrounded by green mountains, he stands with his hands behind his back, overlooking the sky, just like a fairy.
He represents the spiritual power of the traditional martial arts world, and symbolizes the perfect fusion of "wu" and "xia". From the beginning of the film, he has faced the crowd with such a perfect image. Retiring from the rivers and lakes, even if he dies in the end, he is still the first person in the martial arts.
He shines with the brilliance of Chinese culture, which combines the benevolence of Confucianism and the transcendence of Taoism.
In the film, the relationship between him and Yu Xiulian is real, and as representatives of martial arts decency, they have the same belief, so they become confidants, but they are only confidants after all. This stems from the deep-rooted traditional morality and ethics in the two people's thoughts, and also from the similar inner world of the two.
Character Analysis - Yu
Xiulian Yu Xiulian is a representative of women in the traditional martial arts world, and she has all the characteristics of a traditional female hero . In a male-dominated society like the martial arts world, she has the halo of a female hero and lives step by step following the norms of a male-dominated society. When she learned that the Qingming Sword was stolen by Yu Jiaolong, she chose to forbear and fight with her. Persuasion, do not want to hurt the harmony between the two sides; in the face of Yu Jiaolong's willful rebellion, she still chooses tolerance, trying to infect her with the brilliance of motherhood; in the face of her relationship with Li Mubai, she abides by traditional morality and etiquette, standing silently. He was behind him.
Facing Yu Jiaolong's willfulness and viciousness, the two chose to guide her on the right path; however, when facing the truth that Yu Jiaolong pointed directly at people's hearts, all moral education seemed so pale——
Character Analysis—— Yu Jiao Long
In the film, Ang Lee did not deliberately evolve the relationship between Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong into a confrontation between good and evil, but focused on the expression of the characters' inner world, exploring the truth in the depths of human nature, and even more The successful shaping of the female image of Yu Jiaolong has added a bright color to the long history of male-dominated martial arts movies.
The success of Yu Jiaolong's female image modeling lies in its swing between good and evil, and the contradiction between traditional etiquette and free love. Unlike Yu Xiulian, the traditional female hero image, Yu Jiaolong's character It seems that she was born with a "rebellious" factor, as well as her selfishness and willfulness as a human being, so her image is vivid and real - in the
face of family pressure, she also desperately wanted to marry Lu Jun in peace Pei, however, on the day of her wedding, she still chose to flee; in the face of the repression of decency and morality and etiquette, she was also at a loss, but her flamboyant and rebellious character has long been doomed to not be bound by the righteousness and etiquette. In the dialogue with Yu Xiulian, Yu Jiaolong disapproved of Yu Xiulian's life of pure heart and few desires and love, but not afraid to love; in the confrontation with Li Mubai, he was even more disdainful of famous martial arts families such as Wudang.
Yu Jiaolong does not belong to the "right way" of martial arts, not for chivalry, but only for herself. On the road of walking the rivers and lakes, the Qingming sword is her support, but also the key to guide her to destruction. This was already hinted at in the film - in the face of Yu Jiaolong's inquiries about Jianghu, Yu Xiulian answered with the word "moral and righteous"; Li Mubai even more frankly predicted that Yu Jiaolong's martial arts temperament is not restricted, and sooner or later will become a "poisonous dragon" "... In the eyes of Yu Xiulian and Li Mubai, two decent figures in traditional martial arts, walking on the rivers and lakes requires benevolence and righteousness, and Yu Jiaolong's willfulness and viciousness doom her road to tragedy.
