The first time I watched "Hero" was 11 and went to high school. At that time, watching movies was a star, and it was lively. At that time, I thought I had watched a lot of martial arts movies. I no longer pursued all kinds of "magic martial arts" movies with flying and dancing and all kinds of explosions. I thought I had risen to a higher level. At that time, watching "Hero" felt baffling. Donnie Yen, Jet Li's facial paralysis, Tony Leung posing POSS, Maggie Cheung are no longer good-looking, and the structure is messy, the pictures are all fake, and the plot is still very nonsense. All in all, I don't know what Zhang Yimou is leading these stars, shooting photos or practicing dance? If you have anything to do, just talk about it. Whatever the wind blows, the sky is full of sand, and the sky is full of silk flying. The most important thing is that the publicity spent so much money. The last time I watched the movie, it was a bit jaw-dropping. I watched it and fell asleep twice and woke up but didn't know what it meant. . .
Maybe I really didn’t understand it at the time and I was always confused, so I decided to read it again. After 11 years, I saw a lot and understood a lot. I can really use the word "appreciation" to see a "work". When I went to watch "Hero" I suddenly thought I was schizophrenic or had amnesia. After watching it, I found this movie shocked me.
"Hero" can be regarded as an iconic film in the process of Chinese film transformation, and it is also a commercial film, but I think his level is much higher than that of commercial films. I don't know much about art, but I feel that this film has a great sense of art. Rich, don't compare the martial arts effect here with "Ip Man", one is an apple and an orange, not a thing! As a movie, you have to ask why you can fly so high when you point a sword into the water. If you use a physical formula to calculate it, it is completely boring. What the author wants us to see is not science, but beauty!
Speaking of the plot, I didn't understand it when I was young because my logical thinking was not strong. Such repeated dialogues, repeated recalls and repeated conjectures can make people feel that the results are very shocking. These four masters all wanted to kill King Qin. If they started learning martial arts when they were young, they would love and hate each other, and then they would assassinate Qin together and they would all die. Is that interesting? If four swordsmen share the same hatred, and King Qin is killed in the end, can you vomit? Would you be shocked if everyone let King Qin's three thousand iron armors be divided into corpses in the end? Believe it or not, there is love, friendship, and heroism. Heroes are not afraid of death for revenge. All of these are. But the theme mentioned here is not the same. It is clear that the King of Qin is a tyrant. It is ten steps. It is easy to assassinate Qin with a single kill, but for the sake of the future unification and peace of the world, you change your original intention and abandon the hatred of the country and willing to die. Would you be shocked to say that? Anyway, I was shocked.
Speaking of actors, you will see that Zhang Kong’s righteousness, Remnant Sword’s heart, Feixue’s enmity, nameless bravery and courage, everyone is vivid and alive. Can Jian and Feixue's love is also unswerving until death, and this is all manifested. I don’t know if I have noticed that in the story that Wuming said at the beginning, the actors have dull expressions, their lines are unreasonable and cherish the words like gold, especially Can Jian and Feixue, the costumes, styling and makeup are more exaggerated, and the background is gorgeous and ethereal; and In the story of King Qin’s guess, the actors’ lines have increased, the characters have some personality characteristics, the costumes and makeup are not so exaggerated, and the background is much softer; and when the nameless tells the truth, the characters’ expressions are rich and true. Close to reality, the tone is plain, the clothes are simple and elegant, and the makeup is basically plain, and the background is also much more natural. This is because the first stage is completely fake and an anonymous story, so it is very exaggerated. In the second stage, King Qin used what he saw and imagined it to be half true and close to reality. And the last stage is real, as if walking from legend to reality, so people are more vivid, and all aspects are also realistic. I think we need to look at it in different levels, rather than scratching it from the beginning to the end.
This is my understanding. It is very good to watch "Hero" with my current understanding. The background story is good, the ending is shocking; the actors perform well, the exaggeration should be exaggerated, the truth is true, when the model is modeled, and when the model is rich, it is rich; the artistic effect is good, whether it is a story or reality, whether it is gorgeous or elegant It is still true, and it can make people see the beauty. The special effects are good, and the story connection is good. Heroism, love, and heart are all expressed and expressed very well. I can't say that it's perfect, but I don't think it's perfect. Movies made with Chinese history, Chinese culture, Chinese aesthetics, and Chinese people's way of thinking, if you are not going to rely on any famous foreign film, it will be boring than that.
It is said that "The Banquet" is Feng Xiaogang's last movie, but Feng Xiaogang insists that his "The Banquet" is a pinnacle of film aesthetics. A movie is like a painting. The author has the meaning of the author, but the person who sees the painting has the feeling of seeing the person. In short, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom, I say yes, don't scold me, if you say bad, I don't care about you. I'm talking about my understanding. Those who understand me hope to give you some inspiration and also want to share your insights.
