What you think of martial arts is just a river and lake

After watching this film, I admire Chen Kexin's ability to tell stories. The story itself is extremely simple. Through the rapid switching of the camera lens, music is used to show the hearts of the characters, and the truth is restored from different perspectives, making the story full and round. The conflicting stories are intertwined with each other.

Everyone in the film has a knot in their hearts that can't be solved, whether it's Tang Wei who was abandoned and never said to wait for you to come back at night, or everyone in 72 Disha has a heart of revenge for 800,000 people. The male protagonist, Donnie Yen suppresses evil with good, and Takeshi Kaneshiro suppresses good with evil. The story reaches its climax in the jungle where Donnie Yen sends Takeshi Kaneshiro back to the city. In the strange music, Donnie Yen's killing heart that has disappeared for ten years is as calm as water, and Takeshi Kaneshiro's delusion of being murdered The disease terrified him.


Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes will never be peaceful. This is a story on the rivers and lakes. You can think of it as an underworld that is easy to get in and out of, a prodigal son who turns back, a man who cannot help himself in the rivers and lakes, and a story about a storyteller. , the name is even more important, the name can trick people into the field, and those who tell the story well will be satisfied and return it next time.


It would be too ridiculous to call such a trivial incident a martial arts. This is as funny as Universal Co., Ltd. in the sketch leaving the public telephone of the canteen at the door. Packaging is inevitable, the product is not delicious enough, and there must be a good product spokesperson, a resounding name, and exquisite packaging.

Martial arts are not martial arts, just a name, just like sundae is ice cream, Starsh is belladonna aluminum capsule, and Coca-Cola is carbonated beverage. Investing your money is called wealth management. Just like the hero in the eyes of a girl may be just a gangster, the gardener in our hearts, the human soul engineering angel in white, is actually just a repetitive labor worker, and the charity organization is only here to make money.

It is also the same, the old gentleman who picks up rubbish supports more than 100 students to go to school, so he is a hero. The same is true of martial arts. In this story of the rivers and lakes, Chen Kexin's interpretation is so wonderful that it is indeed worthy of the word martial arts.

Everyone's entanglement:

1. Li Xiaoran, when he appeared on the stage, he expressed his feelings for Takeshi Kaneshiro. The old father thought that there were officials in the family, but he made counterfeit medicines because of his conscience. Kneeling and begging is useless, committing suicide, from this point of view, it is not completely black, and it is still very famous. You can't say that this foolish man is doing justice to the law, but he is forcing his father to death after all. If you don't spare your family, how can you spare Tang Long, the murderer? The old father died because of him, but Tang Long deserved to die, and Xu Baijiu wanted to put him on trial again.

2. Takeshi Kaneshiro, after being deceived by his child, not only was emotionally injured, but his body was also severely injured. Therefore, he taught himself medical skills to treat diseases. The physical pain exacerbated the distortion of human nature. disease. He even turned into an evil self, always reminding himself not to believe that the bad guys were pretending to be Tao. , chopped him with a sickle, and finally, under the villagers singing that Jin Hee is a good man, the kindness caused a fatal wound, which made him even more terrified, thinking that Jin Hee was going to harm him, just like that child, a disguise of kindness There must be a huge conspiracy hidden, especially after he learned that Jin Xi's martial arts is so strong that he doesn't need to play with him at all. This kind of persecution paranoia completely distorted him, even if he offered a bribe, he would arrest Tang Long.

3. Tang Wei, according to what she and Jin Xi said, the two fell in love at first sight by the river, not to mention Takeshi Kaneshiro, even we viewers would wonder why such a big man was not included in the marriage, and he had to change his surname Liu into the genealogy, and A widow with a drag bottle fell in love at first sight? The story also doesn't explain why Tang Wei's last man left home. Based on Takeshi Kaneshiro's evil thoughts, it is 80% that this pair of cheating adulterers, prostitutes, dogs, and men and women did the man! This is undoubtedly exposed in Jincheng Wu's undisguised question about Tang Wei's point when he came to the gate. I think he even thinks that Tang Wei is also a hidden boss! But judging from the simple Tang Wei and the simple folk customs, that man was probably killed by a beast. And all that Jin Xi did was to reassure his wife. Because Tang Wei's character is an extremely insecure person.

4. Jin Xi, I have to admit that Donnie Yen's role is the most successful in the film. I'm not saying that he acted stupidly in front of Takeshi Kaneshiro, but his true heart of kindness saved Takeshi Kaneshiro in the end. soul. Jin Xi never recognized it, and when she saw Hui Yinghong's murder of innocents, she was inspired to take action, and she didn't want to hurt the innocent and lead Hui Yinghong away. The viewers were like Tang Wei's eyes, thinking that this man was going to leave her, dragged by Tang Long that night. When he came home covered in scars, Tang Wei's expression was very good, and his heart was so surprised that he couldn't suppress it, and his seemingly calm tone couldn't suppress his trembling body. She begged the patriarch to let Jin Xi enter the family tree, and even used her body to keep Jin Xi, because she knew that this man was beyond her control. Even if Jin Xi said that she would be born with us, she didn't think she could keep Jin Xi. , but it was her humble kindness that saved Tang Long. After some life and death, she finally knew that this was a man who would go home no matter how late, a man who belonged to her, a man who stayed for her.

5. Hui Yinghong, the sentence that appeared on the stage: "I don't kneel down when I see Thirteen Mothers!" She has already exhausted their relationship with each other, at least she has nurturing grace for Tang Long, and when the informer told Tang Long's hiding place, Hui Yinghong didn't say a word, but there were many close-up shots and expressionless facial close-ups. Hui Yinghong was tired, and he knew that the leader would not let the traitor Tang Long go, because the leader had been drowned in hatred and inhumanity. The dragon's fists and feet were facing each other, and he shouted first when he made a move. The facial expression is very fierce, and he uses a knife to kill, but he chooses to start with an old man who has not much time. Obviously, he just wants to scare everyone away. Tang Long's thigh is very distressed. Tang Long subconsciously uses a trick to dig people's eyes. , Hui Yinghong believes that he can protect himself in the face of the leader, and can survive with good against good and evil against evil. She was tired, she went, she also imagined Tang Long to live, she was still a woman full of motherhood after all. Great characterization.

6. Wang Yu, the big boss is always the last one to appear. This person can no longer be described as good or evil. As an orphan, Tang Long has the responsibility of avenging the clan, but this bloody revenge cannot be empathized with, or education. It's not enough, Thirteen Niang is responsible for this, she gave Tang Long too much love. In front of the 800,000 people who had been slaughtered, what Wang Yu did was not exaggerated at all. The children born of non-clan intermarriage were inherently evil. No wonder he was ruthless, and eliminating the traitor Tang Long was a matter of course. He is not a traitor organization, he is a traitor! This is the same behavior as the traitor who did the Japanese lackey. It should be hated by viewers! But because of the director's design, it is not my race, our nationality is as calm as water, and our emotions return, we tend to betray Tang Long, and the character design of Wang Yu is too cruel, blinding one's eyes, in fact, the truth is dead What does the butcher's family count in front of the 800,000 people who were slaughtered? It's just that he doesn't know that except for his own revenge, everyone else is tired. After all, you can't live in hatred.

Summary: The film conveys the director's intent very well. It can simply be considered that "harmony is the most precious", "there is no end to the retribution of grievances", "people cannot always live in hatred", "it will always be better to live with some trust and kindness", "kindness should not be deceived and changed" , "A simple life, it is enough to have a lover by your side", "Don't be too persistent and stubborn in life", "Law and love still depends on love".

The truth is that Tang Long is good. Even if he was constantly instilled with evil thoughts, he finally chose to escape. Tang Wei's pure eyes and the simple folk customs here made him stay, but the hurt in Tang Wei's heart made him unable to believe in people. After the murder, Xu Baijiu almost died because of a moment of negligence, which formed his current character. He was always guarding against others, being cautious everywhere, and was afraid that letting go of a bad person would cause even greater disasters, but Li Xiaoran's words made him realize that some things were not because of Tang Long. Instead, he started because of him, so he wanted to undo his mistakes and joined forces with Tang Long. When Xu Baijiu returned to the city for the first time, the torrential rain came and stopped quickly, as well as his own acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, all of which laid a good foundation for the death of the big boss being struck by lightning, and the details of the story were almost impeccable.

ps But there is still one point that I am a little confused about. Xu Baijiu is surprised at how Jinxi can only be sentenced to 10 years for killing someone. Jinxi said that there was an amnesty 10 years ago. It is a fugitive. Since he wants to escape, why should he be caught and become a wanted criminal? Therefore, this is Tang Long's biggest flaw! The most worthy of Xu Baijiu's suspicion, the movie did not explain.

The title of the film "Wu Xia" is not a phrase, but two words "Wu-Xia". Wu is martial arts and martial arts, Xia is a chivalrous warrior, martial arts is a neutral word, and Xia is a compliment.

You think martial arts is just a river and lake, and it is enough to play lively, but the focus of the phrase martial arts is chivalry, not martial arts. The real chivalrous person is actually just a recluse with a broken arm, very boring.

1/3 is pressed by the phone, so tired...
