Jet Li's "Fearless" I only remember the theme song of Jay Chou. At that time, I wrote a few strokes because of the thunder of a few scenes, but now I can't remember a scene. In terms of literary and opera, the role of martial arts celebrities is always lacking due to the integration of commercial factors and the scissors of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television. Either it has become a powerful action machine, or it has become a doll after the country's righteousness and ethics.
I bought Ye Weixin's "Fuse" and "Slaying the Wolf" a few years ago. While indulging in the wonderful visual actions, I sighed at the mental retardation of the plot. I can only say that I don't understand men's arena at all, but Yen Zidan is very good-looking. Since Chen Zhen's time, he has always felt that he is the representative of a real tough guy, and he looks most like Bruce Lee. Even if he only frowns and wipes blood, he can still be seductive as a handsome man.
Today's Donnie Yen finally has acting skills. A powerful muscular man wrapped in a long shirt and punched a boxing technique initiated by a woman. Receiving is also low-key and courteous, and releasing is also low-key and courteous.
Grand masters often rely on suppressing human nature and selfish desires to become a saint. However, Ye Wen's "wu" is intertwined with love and hatred in boxing, family and country hatred, brotherhood, and family happiness. Ye Wen is more than Huo Yuanjia. In other words, it is more calm, more close to the people, more hidden in the city, and less like a martial arts master who wants to put on a brace.
If Ye Wen is the image of a Cantonese that has been beautified and sublimated, the little policeman played by Lin Jiadong is a typical Cantonese representative of the local area in my eyes.
At first, he was a small policeman who used a gun to show off his power to his compatriots. He looked down on martial arts. When Ye Wen met Fan Shaohuang kicking the gym, he showed the honor and disgrace of Foshan people. Since then, he has always honored Ye Wen as his master. Later, the Japanese occupied Foshan. He did a Japanese translation in order to make a living. He was regarded as a running dog by his own people. He also dared not say anything when he watched his own people die under the guns of the Japanese. But when Ye Wen was facing a crisis, he again Many times to save oneself. He also used deception to save his life and Ye Wen's life in the translation process. He is a complicated, real Cantonese who swayed between the environment and human nature. He has the wisdom and shrewdness of life as well as speculation and humbleness. But in terms of national justice, cherishing talents and loving talents, he unambiguously chose his passionate stand. This image is very real and touching. impressive.
Let’s talk about the play. The two duels between Donnie Yen and Shaohuang Fan were designed to be extremely calm. The first victory was a feather duster, and the second was a long pole. Ip Man’s attacks always left room for life. , Casual, not pretentious. The fight with Master Liao and the match with Wu Chi Lin showed that Chinese martial arts use martial arts to make friends and stop fighting as martial arts.
From the perspective of the camera, he played ten scenes by himself and was the most beautiful. With multiple cameras and a host position with a depression angle, Yen Zidan's series of movements were simply a perfect sweep of the legs. The wind passed through the legs and everyone was blown away. The shock is the same as the gaze killing.
And the most suspenseful thing is the duel with the Japanese general, but I personally think that the game was too exciting, completely one-sided, the martial arts master Japanese general was suddenly designed to be a stick that can't fight back. The visual editing is very sensational, teary eyes and broken mountains and rivers, the hero who was shot crashed to the ground, and everyone in the audience immediately merged into a sea of angry revenge.
It is worth mentioning that if the first few games have the concession and indisputability of Chinese martial arts, the last fight is a real war. Yen Zidan no longer faces an opponent, nor is it a stake. It was an enemy, an aggressor whose hands were stained with blood from his compatriots, and his national humiliation and family hatred forced him to use violence to control violence. There is no room, like a revenge fighter.
Generally speaking, the calm and humble attitude shown by Ye Wen runs through the relaxed civil and martial arts, which has to be said to be the embodiment of temperament nurtured by Guangdong culture. This calmness in Chinese culture actually means confidence. At that time, why did Fan Shaohuang and Master Liao's Beiquan be aggressive or inferior? After all, I still lack confidence.
In the cultural soil of Guangdong, where changes are common and unchanging, there is a calm and indifferent Ye Wen, who seems contradictory but not contradictory. All aspects of economic and cultural reasons can be explained. The charm of Ye Man's personality lies in his loyalty, courtesy and moderation in the depths of Guangdong.
In an interview in Jiangmen in November last year, before landing, I designed a question about Cai Li Fuquan. It has nothing to do with tourism, but I am really curious, Huang Feihong and Fang Shiyu are just a juvenile complex. The martial arts and bravery of the Cantonese, various historical materials are not listed, and the various facts of overseas awards are not listed. Various youth movies and Hong Kong films of big and small gangs and police and gangsters can also be glimpsed.
In Jiangmen, I visited the Kaiping Diaolou, a world cultural heritage site scattered among the countryside. The Chinese and Western Kaiping Diaolou was built not only to show off the wealth but also to hide the wealth. The detailed drainage pipes are secretly distributed with gun holes, and the bedroom is a beautiful bedroom. There are sandbags for practice at the back door. In times of war and chaos, seaport cities are often the first to suffer chaos. Men go overseas to earn a living, and women and children at home practice martial arts to protect themselves.
The Wing Chun played by Michelle Yeoh grew from a weak woman to a master. Wing Chun opened its branches and leaves, and the principle of yin and yang braking is not only in line with the temperament of the Cantonese, but also in line with the blending of Confucianism and Taoism in Chinese culture. reason.
Guangdong is a magical land. Merchants and literati, warriors and revolutionaries will always lead the edge of this country. With every new thing and trend of thought, when the conservative Beijing with the heart of the country finally settles down, the low-key and pragmatic Guangdong is finally settled. People have already quietly explored newer areas.
Even today, people in Beijing, the cultural center, still laugh at Guangdong as a cultural desert, but the three most active cultural markets, excluding Beijing and Shanghai, are precisely Guangdong in this desert. The truly conscientious news media group in this country is also rooted in Guangdong. Cantonese culture and the people of Cantonese, in this country, this land, as well as the history of overseas Chinese in the Far East and overseas, is an absolutely unavoidable fact.
When I finished watching Ye Wen, it was 8:30 pm Beijing time at the North Third Ring Puppet Theater. I wrapped my coat and walked out of the theater. 2008 is about to pass. The Cape No.7, Wenque, Mei Lanfang, and Jia The last film of Ye Wen left a tail of salvation for this terrible 2008 in my heart.
The so-called national unfortunate poetry is fortunate, and the vicissitudes of life are easy to write. I won't click through here.
