In this sequel, the director is no longer Ang Lee. Whether Yuan Heping tries to imitate it or finds another way, it is hard to escape criticism. Fortunately, in the end, it can be regarded as promoting strengths and circumventing weaknesses, light literary drama, heavy martial arts, killing when you should, and breaking when you break it, the routine of the American popcorn movie. The literary drama is not procrastinated, and the lines are simple and rude. Although it lacks a lot of charm, it still ensures the rhythm. There are still bright spots in martial arts. I have seen a lot of Xu Haofeng's hard-line martial arts recently. It's time to come back and watch the freehand martial arts that I haven't seen in a long time. The few fight scenes between the forest and the palace are a bit old-fashioned. The two scenes of the ice lake and the pagoda are quite interesting. The last move of Meng Sizhao and Dai Yanwang is very good. . In fact, my favorite scene is Xueping and Wei Fang's palace stealing the sword. Similarly, compared to the Bamboo Forest scene, I prefer the fight between Yu Jiaolong and Yu Xiulian under the city wall in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. As for Jiuyou Nv, that is the biggest flaw of this movie. Isn't it nonsense that the martial arts movie is full of fantasy? Fortunately, it was a happy death at the end.
The actors, Michelle Yeoh and Donnie Yen, are quite compatible in temperament. Others, especially the villains, are really blunt. I have to mention Jiuyou Nv again. Especially talking about the snow bottle, whether it is temperament or makeup, it looks like a jade dragon! Zhang Ziyi and Zhuyu are in front, and Liu Chengyu's performance is not bad, and she is very optimistic about her.
The word wuxia, wu is the strangeness of "killing a person in ten steps, without leaving a thousand miles", Xia is the feeling of "the great hero, serving the country and the people", the children of the rivers and lakes, happy and grudges, so many young people have a relationship. A willful martial arts dream. Here, we can escape from our family and responsibilities, we can have a reckless love, or we can be a hero to defend our family and the country, everything depends on you. So Ang Lee said: How to understand Yu Jiaolong's leap depends on your inner desire. Foreigners are not good at shooting martial arts, because martial arts are Chinese fairy tales. From this, I think, in addition to technical reasons, why do Chinese people fail to shoot science fiction?
What I like most about this movie is that it does not try to talk about those illusory ways, but only retains the core of chivalry. With the beautiful scenery and matching soundtrack, it is hearty and pleasing. If this film was simply called "The Sword of Qingming", the evaluation would be much better. After all, with the name Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, no one will see it as a pure action movie.
