Recommended reason: Zhang Yimou's moves have always been fierce and strong, and he exerts his strength from the outside, which is quite similar to the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon. However, this time, he rarely gathered his strength and attacked slowly. This move could probably be called Kanglong's regret.

Reader : The singer of Stone Garden's
pipa, also known as "pipa", was originally a military music, and the player drummed on a horse, so her pronunciation was vigorous and fierce, and she had a lot of fighting spirit.
In later generations, the pipa has climbed to the heights of temples, or far away from rivers and lakes. It has been in the gentle embrace of singers of all dynasties and dynasties.
So, if you want to choose a concise image for "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", I think it should be the blood-stained pipa in the film.
The story is very simple and can be told in one sentence: In December 1937, when the city of Nanjing fell, a group of prostitutes went to a celebration banquet for the Japanese army in place of the schoolgirls.
Yan Geling is a good narrator, rich, not separated, and full of vitality.
In her writings, there are always flamboyant girls who have lived a rather bitter life. In their bones, they often have quiet and madness, and they make unstoppable sacrifices, almost like sacrifices.
Looking back at the thirteen hairpins of Jinling headed by the oiran and jade ink, it is not out of this pattern.
Nanjing is the golden powder land of the Six Dynasties, and the Qinhuai River often has a history of ups and downs.
According to historical records, there was a famous prostitute Li Xiangjun in Qinhuai Bayan, who splashed blood on the peach blossom fan for the righteousness of the nation.
However, I have often doubted the sincerity of summarizing such stories as national justice. Couldn't the starting point of events be narrow and slender?
It's like saying, when Yu Mo looked at Meng Shujuan, who was about to jump off a building and said "I'll go for you", isn't it because the girl's purity reminded Yu Mo of her clean self before the age of thirteen? To make Shujuan suffer is not to make the old self suffer again.
In some extreme moments, self-respect and self-deprecation are actually the same thing, and self-esteem and self-loathing are the same thing.
The general and profound justice was handled by Zhang Yimou as a famous prostitute and fulfilled himself.
On this point alone, Lao Mouzi was sincere this time.
After all, human nature is too difficult to face, and even more difficult to capture and present.
Because it always has a moment of kneeling, a moment of darkness, a moment of sinisterness, and a moment of resentment, and all the moments are unexpected, like bamboo arrows blowing in the dark night.
Fortunately, Zhang Yimou was able to hold on to these moments.
He built a 250-acre landscape, which contained fall and decadence, massacres and suffering, and a Catholic church, which was magnificent and beautiful, symbolizing perfection.
He interrogated the twists and turns of human nature in this claustrophobic space. It took 164 days and 2985 shots to complete the confrontation with human nature. In the meantime, he may have blinked, but in the end he held on.
The Huacai paragraph is of course the dressing scene.
——In
order to better pretend to be young girls, the prostitutes wrapped their overly mature breasts with white cloth rolls, while the female students waited to one side, their eyes were clear and silent.
Alas, Zhang Yimou really knows how to make this scene too.
The camera is full of flesh, golden, firm, and lustrous, but not erotic, because our hearts are occupied by some more metaphysical emotion.
Then, the jade and ink sang softly "Slow Qinhuai water, Pangu to the present", and the cumbersome cotton robes did not prevent them from being charming and charming, thus completing their farewell to the world in such a beautiful way.
This story is about a more essential kind of equality within the realm of human understanding.
Church students and brothel women, one side is gentle, reserved and chaste, the other side is vulgar, pungent and fierce. The two sides were not to be confused. However, what is the essential difference between the flesh and the flesh?
In fact, in that package deal, the body became the essence, and the body was the essence.
Therefore, the busy and sleepless night before dying was actually a requiem for the flesh: it was performed by the mortuary John, carried by the jade and ink, and witnessed by the redeemed Shujuan.
It is also the baptism of the flesh, the equalization from appearance to essence—death is the ultimate equalization.
Nanjing is an eternal pain in the hearts of Chinese people, and the way of touching it is very important.
Lu Chuan tried it once two years ago, and it turned out to be an idiot. Because there are 300,000 dead souls above, the Japanese devils who committed suicide after letting go of two Chinese people are not worthy of praise at all.
This time Zhang Yimou didn't make any pause on this superficial issue, he went to the more essential proposition of human nature.
However, Laomouzi is not Li An after all, and he can't beat the latter's bones.
What's rare is that this time, he added tenacity and attacked slowly. This move can probably be called Kanglong's regret.
