I'm a big star, how can I not watch a blockbuster? !
Overall, I think Seven Swords is pretty good. As long as it's a movie that I don't understand, I'll think, "It's good, it's very thoughtful!" Who would pay homage to something that he knows so well?
The subtlety of Tsui Hark is that I didn't understand the n-angle relationship between Chu Zhaonan, Luzhu, Yuzhu, and Fenghuoliancheng. I think it's better to study whether this green bead or jade bead is a spy. It should be a little deeper that "Seven Swords" can explore.
The following is the character analysis about Chu Zhaonan that I saw on the Internet:
Donnie Yen plays Chu Zhaonan, a relatively obscure character described in the movie "Seven Swords", but if you investigate him carefully, he is also linked to other characters in "Seven Swords" key figures. Although Tsui Hark's film is called "Seven Swords", there are not 7 protagonists. The protagonists of Liang Yusheng's original novel and the prequel are actually only Yang Yuncong and Ling Weifeng (that is, Mu Lang played by Zhou Qunda). In the novel, he acts as the villain who defected to the Qing army; however, in Tsui Hark's film "Seven Swords", if divided by play points, the number of protagonists should be 12: in addition to Qijian, there are Fenghuoliancheng, Luzhu, Liu Yufang, Liu Jingyi and Qiu Dongluo. Of course, if the sequel of the sequel is considered, Zhang Huazhao, one of the last seven swords, who is still a child in this film, can also be regarded as half the protagonist.
Feng Huo Liancheng said to Chu Zhaonan when he was about to die, "Actually, you are the same person as me, and sooner or later you will follow my path. These words puzzled many people: Why did Feng Huo Liancheng evaluate Chu Zhaonan like this? If you think about it, you may be even more confused: Why did Chu Zhaonan fall into the trap of the wind and fire when he robbed the silver? What is the relationship between him and Luzhu and Fenghuoliancheng? Tsui Hark said that the movie wanted to explore human nature. Does the indifference of Donnie Yen's expression express the human nature that Tsui Hark outlined for Chu Zhaonan?
In fact, what "Seven Swords" knows about Chu Zhaonan the most is Feng Huo Liancheng, which Tsui Hark explained in a lot of details in the movie. Fu Qingzhu has said many times that you must not underestimate the character of Fenghuo Liancheng, which shows that he attaches great importance to this biggest villain as a businessman. This is because Fenghuo Liancheng is not only skilled in martial arts, but also excellent in resourcefulness. When Qijian attacked Feng Huo Liancheng's lair, Chu Zhaonan plundered Luzhu (actually, the character played by Jin Suyan was not Duan Luzhu), Fenghuo Liancheng said a lot of funny things, such as "even women robbed", "bandits" ". What he scolded was the Seven Swords, who called himself a knight, headed by Fu Qingzhu, because the Seven Swords also plundered women, and Chu Zhaonan plundered the green beads. This is what bandits do. This is the first time that Chu Zhaonan has been explained in detail. Personality and desire; Liu Yufang was poisoned, and Liujian came to care, but Chu Zhaonan only cared about Lu Zhu and ignored Liu Yufang. It was selfish, and this was the second; Lu Zhu told Chu Zhaonan—and she could only tell Chu Zhaonan, because Only he understands Korean - Feng Huo Liancheng's military pay is hidden in the head of the big Buddha, and Feng Huo Liancheng planned a trap - here is his wisdom - he expected that Qijian would definitely steal the military pay, so he secretly crossed Chencang Buried He dispatched a lot of troops, including many cannons, but Chu Zhaonan, the clinker, was selfish. He planned to go to the meeting with Luzhu alone, but he was caught in the trap of the wind and fire, and he was arrested. This is three; Before sending the letter, Chu Zhaonan and Fenghuo Liancheng were fighting for the green pearl. At this time, Chu Zhaonan asked the green pearl in Chinese, and the suspicion was four. Yang Yuncong fought Fenghuo Liancheng. Swear to recapture himself, of which arrogance, is for five.
These five points are enough to make Feng Huo Liancheng, an extraordinary brave man, understand Chu Zhaonan. Chu Zhaonan loves money, is selfish, suspicious, arrogant and strong in martial arts. This is the character of Feng Huo Liancheng; also based on this, Feng Huo thinks of himself, and judges that Chu Zhaonan will be in the Qing court in the future. It is according to Tsui Hark's bluntly "human nature" and transmutation. All these changes are slowly manifested in the self, and his cold mystery and lonely standing are actually a cover to cover up the changes.
Those who have read the above analysis had better go and read "Seven Swords" again! Don't pretend to understand because you don't understand, and scold Tsui Hark for making a bad movie without even seeing the reason!
Even if they can't understand the deep thought changes of the characters above, they can still understand the Zhibang I played to Lu Yi, right? Even if I didn't smell Chu Zhaonan's changed sense of smell, at least Lu Yi was funny, right?
The funniest part of the whole article is when Zhibang said to Wu Yuanying (played by Yang Caini), did you find that everything changed when you got down to Tianshan? After Wu Yuanying's incomprehensible denial, Zhibang said: I found that I should not be a horse breeder (his original occupation in Wuzhuang), I should be a swordsman!
I laughed and laughed on the spot. Originally, if someone else played this role, as long as it wasn't too overpowering, it would definitely be as shocking as Chu Zhaonan's transformation. It's a pity that what Lu Yi said turned out to be a joke! But this is not within Tsui Hark's control after all.
And there are at least a lot of moving scenes in "Seven Swords". For example, in the scene where Lu Yi let all the horses go, the horse Laifu was reluctant to leave on the mountain, that was so touching~~ People who haven't seen the movie, or who haven't seen it at this level at all, won't understand it!
Can't anyone see that Laifu can be the best supporting actor!
Really!
"Seven Swords" is at least much better than "Operation Smith (or Mrs. Smith?)"!
Scripts like "Green Snake" and "New Dragon Inn" that can face all levels are rare after all. Some people compare "Seven Swords" with the first two films. It's a bit ignorant of current affairs. Besides, "Green Snake" is the breakthrough and rise of Hong Kong films in that era. We can see Tsui Hark's vigor and enthusiasm for Hong Kong films from the film. Looking forward to and giving up on me who's bearing! ~
The popularity of "Seven Swords" is not due to the problem of the film itself. According to Tsui Hark's current age and experience and his understanding of movies, he has been slightly out of touch with ordinary people like us, but this does not hinder his mastery. I haven't previewed "Seven Swords" well, and after watching it, I don't know how to review it with my head. What qualifications are there for people who can't even read the stock market to shout that "Seven Swords" is a bad movie?
The only thing I'm a little dissatisfied with in "Seven Swords" is that the female characters in it, except for Wu Yuanying, all seem to have bad lines, especially the Korean (Kim Soyeon) who plays the green beads.
If the lines are rotten and can only be made up for with heavy breathing, there is a suspicion of being a erotic movie, but it is to the extent of masturbation. It's too nondescript. Could it be that Tsui Hark shows that women are just trophies for men in the arena? Maybe that makes sense. However, after all, it is too disrespectful to women.
Overall, Seven Swords is pretty good. Although there is not much agitation, it can be seen that the old Tsui Hark looks back, compared to Wong Kar Wai's "2046", but I don't know how much more charming it is! ～
