This film well expresses the artistic conception of Gu Long's martial arts, and the oriental freehand style is very strong.
1. The immortal guides the way: the wind blows, the bells and drums chime together, and the first
section of Peony Square satisfies the audience's desire for sensory stimulation. Zhang Ziyi danced gracefully and gracefully, and the long sleeves of a piece of "The Immortal Guiding the Way" fluttered. The fight that followed was also quite exciting. No wonder Zhang Yimou has such high expectations for Peony Square. Not only the venue for the premiere celebration was set up as a scene of Peony Square, but he also said to the media that "a play only needs to be remembered by the audience for a few seconds". It seems that Director Zhang also took great pains to make the audience remember the scene of Peony Square.
2. Chasing in the Bamboo Forest: The army is everywhere, and when the flags and flags
mention the bamboo forest, we will immediately think of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The sword dance in the bamboo forest between Zhang Ziyi and Chow Yun-fat was a classic. The two people's touches on the bamboo all revealed the mysterious ancient charm of the East.
In "House of Flying Daggers", the scene of Bamboo Forest can also be regarded as remarkable. The dark green bamboo forest and the occasional sunshine make people feel like they are in a dream-like country, and when the government pursuers suddenly appear, the tension in the film reaches a climax. In addition, the meticulous and sharp audio-visual rhythm also makes this scene a classic of the film.
3. Freehand Four Seasons: Going back with the wind, living like the wind,
I really like the shot of Takeshi Kaneshiro galloping on horseback. Through the four seasons, all kinds of entanglements and contradictions, I finally made up my mind. Many people mentioned that the switching of scenery is not unified enough, but I think it reflects a person's conflicting heart, which is a good metaphor.
When Suifeng returned to the hazy bamboo forest "for one person", he really turned into a casual wind; when two fiery hearts embraced passionately in the splendid sea of flowers, she also took off her disguise. And when all this comes to an end, will the moment of truth continue?
4. House of Flying Daggers: both good and evil, the cat -and-mouse game
In the film, we know that, except for "With the Wind" played by Takeshi Kaneshiro, the rest of the actors have multiple identities. A friend one second, an enemy the next. (The real enemy in this film is the "rival in love") The combination of good and evil in such characters makes us see the so-called "cat and mouse game".
5. Decisive battle in the snow: poignant love, beautiful women are hard to come by
. At the end of the film, Liu Zhaotou first beat his little sister seriously, and Jin Zhaotou got the news and rushed to the sea of flowers to fight Liu Zhaotou for life and death. Liu Zoutou had the upper hand and pushed his opponent to the brink of life and death. At this moment, the dying little girl tried her best to use the last trick of burning jade and stone to save Jin Cautou's life and die with Liu Cautou. Before he died, Liu Zhaotou still didn't believe that all of this was true, and still felt that his little sister loved him, but it was just that Jin Zhaotou won the love with a horizontal knife. The little sister died in the arms of Jin Zhaotou...
