Alas, having said that, although China has a long history, the dynasties are limited, and the emperors are numbered after all. Except for the few founding monarchs who may be somewhat unsatisfactory due to their family conditions, the rest no matter the ignorant monarchs and bright lords, who are not the famous generals and worthy ministers invited. The higher education completed by private teaching, who grew up surrounded by intrigue and power struggle, plus the Chinese emperors have always been famous for their wives and sons, and the beauty of the throne has some influence. But if you want to be free of temperament, smooth in writing, and handsome in appearance, it is still reasonable. Anyway, you will not lose your dignified face. When I think about it, Kangxi is no longer a handsome guy, and he has a pockmarked face. When foreign envoys come to court, they feel that it is difficult to be dignified. This is also the reason why I have always thought that not everyone can shoot historical subjects, because such a first-class taste cannot be cultivated by poor people (not to look down on the poor, to be honest, there is bread and milk first, then there are books and picture albums) , life is like this, if my family had to work hard for firewood, rice, oil and salt when I was a child, how could my mother have a good heart and began to teach me to read and write at such a young age, and taught me to read and write, and also met a naughty child like me, early. I broke my leg, and I have no crooked problems with the novel and movie JJWW today). However, in the early years of China, children from rich families would not go to study movies, which was the industry of nine-class actors (for example, Cai Kangyong’s family was an old rich in Shanghai, and his family was very opposed to him going to study movies, and Li An was similar). In a few years, only the children of rich families have the money and the means to enter the film school. Unfortunately, all this money is spent on the fat and the brain full of how to make the fat of the mind go up, and the ones who really cultivate are still very few. few. I read Beauxarts magazine. When it comes to art auctions in every issue, the most important buyers in the eastern market are collectors from the West. What the Eight-Power Allied Forces did not take away is made up from these private sales. The Chinese buyers are not from Taiwan. Yes, it is from Hong Kong. I don’t understand that the rich people in the mainland are different from these two places. If you have money, you must have power. If you have power, you must have money. Are they all going to drive a famous car to make beautiful women? What a waste of social wealth.
Director Zhang's aesthetic vision is beyond my turn to comment. We are not the same generation, and we grew up in different environments. Therefore, the vision of women, clothes, and scenery is naturally very different. But taste, which is different from aesthetics, is something that has been quantified and quantified by human society. But the taste of Chinese people does not need to be closer to foreigners. Just when Chinese people are arguing about whether Zhang Ziyi or Lv Yan suits the tastes of foreigners, as far as I know, it is really only based on beauty rather than fame to hype famous brand clothes. I don't like foreign photographers chasing after them with their cameras, but I have to admit that she is a classically beautiful Mrs. Chen Kaige. In those days, Chen Hong wore a white dress, her black bun was lightly pulled, her lips were a little red, and the figure with a faint smile leaning on Chen Dao's side is still fondly remembered by the French. Beauty, no matter how private it is, bears the spirituality of human beings that is higher than all things, and is also universal. Therefore, in the Chinese royal family, richness is inevitable, grandeur is certain, and extravagance is conceivable. Yellow is noble because gold is rare and wealth is a symbol of social status, not because yellow is beautiful. The Tang Dynasty was cool, because women liked plumpness, and plumpness also represented the material abundance of this dynasty, not that dew points were allowed.
I remember reading a book before, which talked about the relationship between Chinese aesthetics and philosophy, saying that Chinese philosophy is closely related to nature, and at the same time it is fluid (the five elements generate and restrain each other, and yin and yang complement each other). Therefore, the beauty of China is also closely related to nature, and it also pays attention to art before shape, that is, foreigners will never understand what kind of "qi" is. Reflected in clothing, Chinese people like to decorate with flowers, birds, fish and insects, and natural jade as embellishment. Walking in nature, the East has the lightness that Westerners do not have, and carries the natural "Qi", which means integration. Even the accessories are tied around the waist with ribbons, and then embellished with tassels to fly with the belt. Therefore, the plumpness in the Tang Dynasty was also a light plumpness. No matter how fat Yang Guifei was, she was a beautiful dancer, not a heavy village woman. Just like the peony in traditional Chinese painting, no matter how rich and noble, the talented person is the top grade, not to mention what we are going to talk about here. chrysanthemum.
As mentioned above, Chinese philosophy is closely related to nature, so foreign countries like to give flowers to others to understand lovesickness, but Chinese men are very narcissistic and compare flowers to themselves. Lotus and chrysanthemum are probably of noble character and difficult to reach. The representative of the former, the former is lonely and awake alone in the crowd, out of the mud but not stained, it is not suitable for people, the latter is lonely at the wrong time, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom, which is not in harmony with the world. Therefore, one is a scholar-officer's product, and the other is a hermit's product (there is also a plum blossom, but this flower is too unique, it is a martyr's product, so it is usually used to praise chaste martyrs and the like). People who usually raise the flag to rebel are either unfaithful and greedy, or unrighteous and immoral. They are bent on swordsmanship, power and wealth, so few of them can be related to these two flowers. There is a big exception in my memory. The title of Laomouzi's film must also be inspired by him: the fragrance of the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor.
"If I am the Qing Emperor in his year, I will be rewarded with the peach blossoms." In fact, what this monarch said is the injustice in the world, and he wants to establish a new order to benefit my race. But Miao Miao still has a yellow character in the surname, and in the past two years Shakespeare has become the new literary ancestor of the Chinese, so well, this is overwhelming. The Music and Lyrics that Xiao Tang and I watched first, the plot is quite simple and a little far-fetched, but Xiao Tang likes the type, easy to relieve boredom, just watching Hugh Grant wearing a wig, painted smoky makeup, wearing white leggings , twisting the hips there is worth the price of the ticket, this man is now a crippled man, but he has always been my favorite type. When I meet someone close to me at the subway station, I will sneak all the way to the bottom - a little color gentleman's belt Slightly nervous. This very British-looking person sings and dances in this movie, and I laughed so hard that I burst into tears. Although this play is not a big production, I highly recommend going to the cinema to watch it, because there is absolutely no such laughing fruit when watching discs at home. , At that time, the whole movie theater was full of shrill laughter, and everyone around was staggering. It was not until the end of the film and the subtitles were released that everyone got up and left the scene. Later, in order to maximize the value of the annual pass, this woman planned to watch the midnight show again. As a result, she was not the master of what I caught and watched. The last movie to be selected was only she had not seen it and I did not want to watch the second one. I've seen November 23 and the Golden Armor she doesn't want to watch a second time. In the end, before I compromised and said to stay with her through 23, this woman politely said that she could accompany me to sit in the Golden Armor for halftime.
As soon as the film opened, I could see the reason why she didn't like this film, Zhang Yimou was so happy and troubled anyway, and I don't want to change it for the rest of my life. Every time I watch his movies, my mind goes round and round in Jia Pingwa's novels and prose (that can't really be called prose) that I have read in the past. Those hobbies and things like those described in Jia Pingwa's novels and prose are far from my Jiangnan people. (I remember in an article he was very interested in describing how a certain girl squatted down and her buttocks were like a peach, which made me, a person who has always called myself a pervert, stand on end.) Xiao Tang is also a southerner, so I know she must be muttering about why she squeezed her breasts like that, why the sluggers are so noisy, why are they so yellow, why the palace has so many stained glass, why there are only so many Such a family matter, in the end, there will be such a big battle.
I can answer the first few questions in a very fake way. Those chests represent desires, and those rules that symbolize playing more. At the same time, it also divides the process and plot development of the entire movie with a timeline. Yellow represents orthodoxy and orthodox concepts. The stained glass of the palace can be seen as a complex relationship inside, but wait...are we not Chinese? Aren't we a nation that sees subtlety as cultivation and obscure as art? Why can't symbolism be collected a little better. Why don't we make our culture a little more showy, and have to say it so frankly as if we were popularizing Sinology education (what the hell, I #%×&). In Madame Bovary, there is a scene where Mrs. Bovary comes out of the house, holding a parasol, she puts it away after seeing her lover, and after walking for a while, she reopens the parasol and covers the two together. This is called symbolism, It is something that is left for the people who are interested to interpret and speculate, but it will not make the unintentional entanglement. Those chests that are barely exposed are called signposts of symbolism, which means: Hey, here I am, didn't you see it? You deserve to suffer. Uh... the only symbol that counts as such is probably the rolled up and down curtains in the palace. As for the last question, um, when I watched this movie, I thought that it was not Shakespeare, but Thunderstorm, and then I thought about why it is necessary to pretend to be a royal family and to forge the history of China, is it not enough for the big family to be like this? A story of family tragedy? On the way back, I suddenly thought of Kurosawa Akira's chaos. It was also the complicated relationship in the family, and the entanglement between relatives and enemies. Why didn't I doubt the setting of his characters? Later, I thought about it carefully. After all, chaos was set up in the background to dig deep into the relationship between characters and periods, and Jin Jinjia, except for the occasional mention of Gong Li as the princess of Liang (it should be called Hou Liang in history), does not It involves foreign relations, so why does it have to be a royal family? Because it symbolizes the values and moral standards of China's supremacy? Including the ancestor worship banquet on the Double Ninth Festival, the four characters of loyalty and righteousness? But when I think about it, it doesn't matter, because after all, this is only a small post-Tang Dynasty (to die is that this is still a small court established in the Jiangdong area, what kind of taste is this country lord, it makes me faint), it's just that He is only the lord of the country, not even an emperor. He does not have such an exemplary role. A big family, such as the Jia family in A Dream of Red Mansions, is enough to bear the burden. What is the purpose of killing chickens? Falsifying history is, after all, an unpleasant thing.
Later, after thinking about it, I suddenly realized that this movie is not a thunderstorm, it has nothing to do with the system and "benefiting my race", and borrowing Huang Chao's poems is just to imply the two elements of "mutinism" and "Chongyang". , this play is not Shakespeare, it has nothing to do with the characters and "tragic characters". Although there are only a few people who come and go in the show, but how much will be digged out in terms of their personality, I believe that everyone does not feel that , In the end, although the play threw away the things like small feelings and family, country and world, which are deeply touching in the hands of some people, and it would be disgusting to change hands, it returned to Laomouzi who challenged traditional forces and was savage and self-improving. On the road, but after all, I dare not use the past to describe the present, its protagonist is a royal family, and its edge is definitely not as good as before, so it is not about the human struggle such as the stronger the power and the stronger the resistance (anyway, the throne comes and goes. family sitting). The purpose of the royal family and the mutiny is nothing more than the terrifying visual impulse of "golden armor in the whole city" is far more exciting than the slashing of hundreds of servants, although it is much more difficult to complete logically, don't look at Shakespeare Both and Alexandre Dumas like this palace coup, but when it comes to artistry, all European dramatists combined are not as thrilling as a light stroke in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms.
I read history books and get excited every time I see a coup d'état. Because the Chinese are afraid of being the best nation in the world to play politics, just like the mahjong table, they are balanced and even vertical. A successful mutiny requires the right time and the right place and the right people, outside the enemy country, connecting with important officials, making full use of one's own position and network, using the interests of interest to change the surrounding balance, so that the favorable balance is tilted towards one's side. This is really a contest between foreign and internal affairs control and anti-control, intelligence and strength. Confucius taught us to use chopsticks instead of knives. Therefore, people with a little culture later regarded simple killing as barbarism. The less time, the more grand the reason, and the greater the artistry. This has created a situation in China, where counselors are more important than good generals. To talk about the most outstanding coup d’etat, of course it was the Xuanwu Gate Coup, which was a plot to put an end to the crisis. The time and place were carefully planned. With a few people and a few horses, Li Shimin reversed the disadvantage, slaughtered his brother, and forced his father to abdicate. , turned around and killed his brother's entire family, took his wife, and did it so neatly. And this one is a climax after years of planning and several open and secret battles, a decisive battle pushed up by layers of waves, if it is taken out alone, the fun will be greatly reduced.
But a centralized Europe like China never enjoyed a single time until Louis XVI's head was cut off. The monarchs of these small countries in Europe are only the length of a county in China, so even in the most centralized European countries In France, when the people were about to revolt, they went in when they said they wanted to invade the palace, and they cut it off when they said they wanted to kill the king. Later, this happened several times. The peasant uprising in China has been successful once or twice since ancient times. . Therefore, those small quantities used in European palaces are not enough to be seen in China. If the Chinese queen wants to appoint a few musketeers or something to send them to a neighboring country to retrieve evidence of her cheating, then guarantee these few The man was captured before he ran out of the capital, and then it should be the plot after the destruction of the nine clans. Therefore, this drama may not seem to foreigners, but it seems to me that it is a big intellectual challenge:
the king and the prince are fighting each other. It's too rare for the
embroidery workshop to embroider tens of thousands of chrysanthemums for the queen. The gold thread and white silk must have been used a lot. Although it is used by the harem, it is national property after all. Without going through the Ministry of Accounts?
It is very convenient for those men in black to come and go in the palace during the day, and it is much better to wear a palace maid's clothes than to cover the face with a black cloth.
The maid would meet the prince if she wanted to, and the queen would enter if she wanted to enter the prince's bedroom. Where is there any orthodox etiquette?
And where are the rest of the king's harem concubines? During the Double Ninth Festival, the ministers came to the palace to report, and they couldn't wait to order Mao. What kind of world is this?
Where did the sword in the little prince's hand come from in the last exit?
Where did the king's army come from? Wasn't the Minister of War settled by the queen? It is not so fast to transfer troops from other provinces.
I had to keep saying to myself: This is just a joke, it is normal for foreigners to be blinded, how can I still not be able to tell the difference between Chinese people! It's a pity that what the play said was too much... a child's play. In a play, at least the factors that affect the development of the play should be clearly explained. Of the above, which one is not the key factor? Although it seems that something is wrong with me (I am the kind of person who will be entangled with tomatoes and cauliflower that appear in historical dramas), but in today's world, it is said that there is no big money and no big scenes. The scene is not real, the effect is not good, the production is not big enough, and it is not worth watching (it seems that Zhang Jizhong is still quite influential). So we silently accept that our aesthetics are making strides toward "more (people), more (special effects), and more (money)."
Except the breasts are too big, the people in black are too arrogant, the characters are too exaggerated, the theme is too inexplicable, the music is too bad, the clothes are very ugly (I don't care if he mentions Oscar or not, the American Film Institute is not my father, when my ancestors started wearing clothes Their ancestors haven't come down from the tree yet), the yellow is too dazzling, the extras are too exaggerated, and the martial arts design is unfortunately backward (the best one is the Swallow Sweep of the Royal Doctor, but the people who cut it are too bad Professional), this is a, well, it can't be said to be a good film, because I won't want to watch it a second time, and I won't want to close it, but at least it's not a bad movie (I've never been tolerant of Zhang Yimou, So I said that if you don't watch dead people, you won't.), you can still watch it when you are bored. After reading it... It's a tasteless rib, but at least it won't break the root and teeth after gnawing it twice. There is not much left to chew on now. The directors and screenwriters all treat the audience as idiots. No matter what the characters are, they are not reserved at all. If they don't speak clearly, they will die. How come there are not many Slytherin characters in Chinese movies? As for making foreigners misunderstand our aesthetics or something, misunderstanding is misunderstanding. Anyway, we really don’t have our own aesthetic ideas. The last time I saw a photo of MM in Hanfu in Zhejiang University, PF schoolgirl is very courageous. However, since ancient times, China has been "coarse cloth skirts and shorts can hardly hide beauty". If you want clothes to lining people, you still need silk, satin and gold silk, which is embroidered with skill. Besides, the Chinese people have long lost this elegant and elegant temperament, so they are suitable for wearing. A large cheongsam fiddled with her lower thighs and boobs. If I say that everyone is as light as a chrysanthemum, that is the most resounding hymn.
It's a film that puts tragedy on the collar, in other words, we are it from the start, and we can guess how and where it ends. I don’t know if foreigners can guess it or not, but after all, we are people who have read the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Thirty-Six Strategies, Sun Tzu’s Art of War, and knew that our emperors, queens, princes and princesses can achieve Much scarier than that. Killing brother Shifu is inseparable from these four words in any of the twenty-five histories. Wu Zetian is still a woman, so it is reasonable to say that he should love more children. Even if he picks melons to make them good, then he picks melons to make them thin, he picks them three times, and he picks them for himself. Compared with blood and blood, all of a sudden it seems estranged. Besides, because there is too much time for the scenes in the movie (the advantage of our people is fully demonstrated), too little time for the characters, and too little connotation for the dialogue, the only thing that can be heard is that there is a queen telling Jie at the end. The prince said that your brother knew our plan. Prince Jie asked what should be done. The queen said, "The chrysanthemums are all embroidered, and they must bloom again." A samurai temperament for that. It's a pity that when the camera shot, I returned to the face of Prince Jie, who was considered a chivalrous character in terms of character setting. I immediately felt boring again, under such a stingy camera (I once thought that this movie wanted to show how luxurious the ancient Chinese royal family was. That's it), no actor can really sway the tragedy. Gong Li is supposed to have the most roles, but unfortunately her acting skills are still so three-dimensional. Zhang Ziyi is really similar to her, especially the way of acting, which is straightforward enough. , I now kind of understand why Ang Lee doesn't like to use the person recommended by Zhang Yimou, it's completely two modes of appreciation. But Gong Li MS is more beautiful than when she was young? (Except for the first shot, which is really a grandma)
My greatest joy in watching this drama is watching Liu Ye, he is not my type, his eyes are too big, his looks are too innocent, and his appearance is too young, but he has a strong sensibility and fusion power. The first time I saw the prince appear, I muttered in my heart: Death. Since then, he has always been this dead appearance, and he walks crookedly and reluctantly. The drama for him has always been very gentle, the standard cowardly princely appearance. Until he knows that the queen is going to mutiny (this is not a spoiler, I think most people know what it is when they see the queen embroidered chrysanthemum for the first time, and know that the time of the change is the Double Ninth Festival, I What I'm curious about is that this group of people wear golden armor anyway. What's the difference between wearing chrysanthemums or not? People in the palace wear them, so why do they need ten thousand? A drop of ink, I'm just curious about what someone can turn a blind eye to), and said to her, "It doesn't matter what I mean, I'm the prince, and everyone in the world will think it's me who did it." This kid is a bit of Liangyingdi's talent when he was young. No matter how boring this character is set, he can rely on his own imagination and understanding to stop his flesh and blood a little, and then play him to the bone, but unfortunately this gentleman was born wrong. In the era, there is no more stillness like Hou Hsiao-hsien, deconstruction like Wong Kar-wai, sensibility like Zhang Aijia, and now Ang Lee's fine-tuning to polish this piece of fine jade. He is still too pure and sticks to certain things. , and the director lines of the recent cooperation are too "big", all of them are big care, big production, big layout, everything is big, only the characters are thin, small and empty. Everything is beautiful, only the dialogue is white, dry and straight. All of them are expensive, only the screenwriters picked them up on the street. Alas, I don't know if Xiao Liu has such good luck as Xiao Viagra.
As for Jay Chou, I have to agree with Xiao Tang's point of view, the role in this play is really good, and the loyalty and righteousness are all accounted for. Orthodox values (in fact we all know that only the king's guards can wear yellow, I don't want to ask where the temporary workers make so much gold armor). But this man... What I'm going to talk about next is not about looks or acting... Many people say he looks like David Jiang? ? ? ? I think Tony Leung looks like David Jiang, and David Jiang looks like Tamura Masakazu (I put the Japanese at the top because he is the oldest and has the longest debut, don't bother me with angry youths), but I don't see that Jay Chou has any relationship with these guys. What is the resemblance, otherwise, according to this logic, Tony Leung must look like Tamura Masahiro (there is indeed a divine resemblance), and Jay Chou must look like Tony Leung (this...this...this)? Then someone gave me an example, seeing that Jay and John both have single eyelids, narrow faces, and some angles are very similar. So I took a chance on the big screen today to take a closer look (usually I really rarely pay attention to what Jay Chou looks like), and I can see the problem at a glance. Of course David Jiang is not a handsome guy, and it seems that Zhuan Deng and I can't get along. He still has obvious big and small eyes and a little triangular-eyed tendency. When I first met him, it was in Jiuyin Zhenjing. He was already middle-aged and fat. , and he was short, and he played my beloved Huang Laoxie, so when the title came out, I had already made up my mind to hate this guy with no neck. The first scene in the film was that he washed his sword with alcohol, then Meifeng looked straight at me in one fell swoop. I was only a sixth-grade student at the time. Sitting on the small bench, my legs immediately became soft and gorgeous. No matter how self-esteem discouraged me, it was the first time in my life that I completely betrayed my own aesthetics. standard, bowed down reverently under his robes, and slowly learned of his brilliance in the future, but always, he did not give me the feeling of "handsome", but a kind of deep and restrained firmness It's just a nonsense, only those who have seen it can understand it), like a fish-gut sword unsheathed, from the thin to the light to the sick, and later I found out that he rarely relies on expressions in his acting, and a thousand words are all in that pair of single eyelids . Liang Yingdi in Hot Detective, Mr. Tamura in Beauty both hit my weak heart with similar eyes, the former is more optimistic, the latter is more gentle, but both are the same beauty in the corner of the eye, as beautiful as the moonlight (I was Knowing that Liang, who was not yet an actor at the time, will be more beautiful and more moonlight after middle age). As for Jay Chou, I judged that he has his own beauty among his fans, but it definitely doesn't resonate with me, who has always admired alternative beauties. I recognize that all people look at the eyes. I rarely rate a company The same is true for the acting skills of people who can't even lift their upper eyelids. The richness of expressions and the progress of their acting skills are irrelevant. If you don't have the eyes, go to the eyelids, if you really want to play ticket professionally.
Another one who can't keep his eyelids open is Chow Yun-fat. Xiao Tang said it was because he was old, why do I think it was because his face was swollen? Shout out again, my Zhou Lang ah ah ah ah... Why don't you just chop me with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword? It's even better. When Old Zhou Lang rarely opened his eyelids, his eyes were pale green? Wearing color pupils? Or born? I'm not in the mood to test this, but it's very special. In fact, Lao Zhou Lang's play is still very good, especially in the episode of Exploring Liu Ye, he is a good old villain and a giant slippery, but it is a pity because Lao Mouzi was filmed for foreigners, for fear that they will not be able to see this kind of thing. The art of intrigue, so let Lao Zhou do some tricks. My mother is a woman who doesn't buy into people's words. She never likes to look at Chow Yun-fat's appearance. Even when he is the most popular, she insists that this gentleman's mouth is not upright. When I was a child, I fought with my mother, but now it seems that she looks at men more punctually than I do. The most important thing in this movie is Fa Ge's mouth. It's rich, soft, and action. , that beard, so hungry, I have no time to pay attention to other parts of his face.
Regarding the actors, finally, I want to say something about beating, I think that the daughter of the imperial doctor, what kind of cicada, looks very beautiful. Single eyelid is very suitable for cool color makeup, which belongs to Lin Daiyu's kind of looks.
At the end of the movie, the foreigner sitting next to me couldn't laugh, and there was a foreigner behind me saying excellent, so it seemed that I could be fooled by le premier. What's even more annoying is that when I came out, someone came up to me and asked me if I was Chinese, and then he boasted that the film was well made, I was almost smoking, and I wanted to say that your knowledge of Chinese films is just that. It’s too much to underestimate us. In the end, he even said that I look like Gong Li, and I have to thank him (thank him for not saying that I look like Lu Yan, and of course he didn’t condescend me, Auntie Gong. It's still better than me, but what kind of eyes are you looking at).
In the movie theater, Xiao Tang kept talking about why he had to take this kind of film out of the country and release it, and the new Dragon Gate Inn was not much better than this. In fact, it is not unreasonable, and maybe we are all people who have no complex for big productions (although we are all eager to watch 300), so we think that martial arts and orthodox costumes are the first, and things like New Dragon Inn are also jokes. Yes, but desert chivalrous love and morality really have a lot more temperament. After I got home, I found the new one-armed knife and looked at it again. Although the plasma was fake, the scene was fake, the music was monotonous, and there were few extras, Zhang Che was still very manly, another kind of temperament close to Gu Long (I found that no matter what the story is in a well-made martial arts film, there must be a bit of cologne in it, which may also have something to do with my preference for cologne). His Water Margin has not yet been found in France, and now I think about how it is possible to portray so many vivid images in two hours and at the same time tell a story? Then I thought back to the recently released costume films, and indeed there is nothing more than a lot of money and a lot of money.
