It's been so long, I've always been obsessed with this movie and recently revisited it. Finally found out why I am always impressed with this movie. Jet Li has made so many movies, but this one is the only one that takes emotional drama as important as fighting drama. Whether it is a great master Huang Feihong or a martial arts hero Chen Zhen, the descriptions of love in Jet Li's other films always pass by, and even later films often do not involve love.
The world loves heroes, and Jet Li is a hero in the eyes of the audience. When facing evil forces, he tightens his eyebrows and moves as fast as lightning. When facing a plot, he is brave and can always save danger. He has compassion for the weak. His feelings, willing to take responsibility, he can be neither arrogant nor humble in the face of the powerful, and his demeanor and politeness coexist. The image of such a hero has already left a deep imprint in the hearts of the audience. If there is a beautiful woman in the movie who can love the hero for us, it must be loved by the audience. Huang Feihong has the love and company of Thirteen Aunts, and Chen Zhen has Yamada Mitsuko's shared weal and woe. However, Xu Zhengyang does not have a girlfriend in the film. He has all the good qualities of a hero, tenacity, acumen, calm, careful, self-sacrificing. However, his image setting is also enough abstinence, enough to be cold on the outside and hot on the inside, plus Jet Li's handsome appearance when he was young, enough to instantly kill any small fresh meat at the moment, enough to arouse the spring dreams of all girls.
When Yang Xueer cried out in grievance, he knocked on the car cover and handed over a tissue with a cold face; in the hail of bullets in the shopping mall, he took Yang Xueer calmly and eliminated the dangers; Complaining; he always has a serious face to children, but he will take the initiative to tell stories to comfort children when they blame themselves; when he inspects the room, he does not forget to put a glass of milk and a glass of warm water by the bedside. This makes us discover that when strength and delicacy, strength and love are perfectly integrated in one person, it is so harmonious and beautiful. Yang Xueer quickly fell for him, and I believe that every woman would fall for him.
However, they were like two straight lines that intersected by chance. Although they had a heartbeat, they couldn't stay together after all. They were just passers-by in life, coming suddenly and leaving quietly. This kind of feeling is more heartbreaking and more unforgettable. The film depicts the feelings of the hero and heroine so delicately. There is no happy ending, just leaving a back, leaving an old watch, and leaving a place in my heart forever. Tragedy is to destroy beautiful things for others to see. Such a kind of sadness that lovers cannot be together pervades the end of the movie and becomes a small regret in my heart. This is also the reason why "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" can leave a deep impression on people. Bar.
After the relationship between the two broke the ice due to the shootout in the mall, Yang Xueer fell in love with this man who cherished words like gold while feeling guilty. Fortunately, the guilt was not exaggerated too much, both of them are open-minded people. The woman apologized generously, and the man turned her head with a smile. From then on, the purchase and sale of old accounts was so smooth and clean.
The episode of sending the watch is really worth reminiscing and watching over and over again. After having a candlelight dinner on their birthday, the two looked at each other in the rearview mirror on the way back. Yang Xueer's eyes were clear and firm, and filled with a bit of exploration. Xu Zhengyang just habitually wanted to look at her through the rearview mirror, but unfortunately When he met her eyes, he was startled, and he avoided it in a panic.
When he got home, Xu Zhengyang sat in the living room and habitually looked at the surveillance cameras, but found that the heroine was not in the bedroom. He looked anxiously at various surveillance images, and found that the heroine was just standing behind him, walking towards him step by step. more panicked. Not daring to look back, the deer rammed around, not knowing how to place his fingers, pressing the switch button randomly, and finally wanted to use the repair monitor to run away, but was blocked by the hostess. The heroine was specially dressed up tonight, and she was more beautiful and moving. He looked around and didn't dare to look at her. The heroine smiled and said she gave him a watch and helped him put it on herself. Full. It can be seen that Yang Xueer is a very active and enthusiastic girl. She has clear love and dislike. If she doesn't like it, she will not be wronged and seek perfection. If she likes it, she will vigorously pursue and strive for it. She has a true temperament, is respectable and lovely. Xu Zhengyang's emotional experience was relatively immature. Facing such a situation, he did not dare to face his heart, let alone face the girl's warm eyes. Out of his professional responsibility, he chose to avoid it. Withdrew his hand. This made the hostess a little embarrassed, but she quickly adjusted her mood, said good night gracefully and went upstairs. Xu Zhengyang couldn't calm down for a long time, watching the light in the hostess bedroom go out, and looking at the two watches in his hand, the old one and the new one, thinking of the hostess in his heart.
Yang Xueer gave him a second chance. She pretended to accidentally press the button and hid behind the door to surprise him. Who knew that Xu Zhengyang was so puzzled and thought it was dangerous, so he fell over his shoulder when he came up. When he saw who it was, he hurriedly used his body as a cushion and let her fall on him. I heard the thud of her body colliding when she fell on him, and I saw the smile on the side of her mouth. Then, after the aggressive female protagonist was lifted up, she grabbed the male protagonist's watch and turned it white. It's amazing, sister, I'm very convinced. If there were more such cheerful girls in reality, the world would be full of love. Xu Zhengyang didn't know how to answer, obviously he loved her too, which could be seen from his affectionately forgetting her eyes, but he couldn't admit his feelings. He was a bodyguard intellectually, and he couldn't bring in emotions. Of course, there may be a deeper reason. She has a boyfriend, so she can't be a mistress; he works in the mainland, and he has to return to the mainland after all, so he can't be with her; his work is dangerous, and he doesn't necessarily sacrifice one day. He couldn't give her the guarantee of happiness.... All kinds of realities couldn't make him admit this feeling, and he walked away by pulling the curtains. Who knew that his move made Xue Er misunderstood and closed the door. This time it was even more embarrassing. Seeing such a situation, Xu Zhengyang hurriedly opened the curtains again and repeatedly explained that I didn't mean that. Cher opened the door again and said that I didn't mean that, but she was so close to him that she could feel her breath, which made him blush and feel at a loss. A bodyguard who showed no timidity in the face of gangsters and villains, at this time, facing his beloved, he panicked like a child. Cher believed in her own charm, she stepped back and closed the door again, and turned off the light. Under the dim light, she looked into his eyes affectionately in her see-through nightgown, and walked over. In front of such a beautiful woman, Xu Zhengyang was shaken. His heart was up and down, and he clenched his fists, as if he had made great determination, and slowly pulled down the blinds again. The camera moves to the outside view, which dims as the curtains close. I thought they would make a breakthrough, but when the camera switched to the room, Xu Zhengyang hurriedly said, "It's too late, go to bed earlier" and fled. Leaving the hostess to slowly lean against the door in frustration and loss.
"Please Look Into My Eyes" is played over and over again as the background music in this scene. This is the voice of the heroine at this time. "Please look into my eyes and know that there is nowhere to escape from your feelings, please listen to the unsteady heartbeat, please don't say that you can't hear..." This emotional scene ended abruptly, not reaching The climax, but it makes people unable to calm down the surging heart, the aftertaste is long, slightly regretful, and I want to come again.
Their love already exists, but Xu Zhengyang doesn't say it. In the final battle, it was so tragic that the two of them blocked each other's guns. Real couples may not be able to do this, and two people who have known each other for less than two months are willing to give their lives for each other at this time. , Yang Xueer even cried and hugged Xu Zhengyang at the end, shouting "don't leave me". No one doubts their love.
At the end of the film, Xu Zhengyang left Yang Xueer a watch. When she saw the box, Yang Xueer had a heartbroken expression, but after opening it, when Yang Xueer saw that it was his old watch, she smiled knowingly, looking at the car that was far away, and reading the name of Zhengyang, understand his mind. From now on, the two may never see each other again, but each of them has a watch of extraordinary significance, which represents the throbbing and defiance of that night, and they will keep the memory of each other forever. Maybe he will be married many years later, she will be married, and they will live their own lives, but no one will forget this sincere relationship.
This ending is the best ending.
