"If there are four seasons in life, before the age of forty, my life is all spring." "The Grandmaster of a Generation" is a prophecy: Wong Kar-wai, who was not confused in the age of 1998, is not like this in his video life! In 1988, in the wave of river and lake films set off by "The True Color of Heroes" (1986), Wong Kar-wai, who was in his thirties, made his debut film "Mong Kok Carmen". The plot setting, novel and bold composition and use of color have added a lot of highlights to this Jianghu film imitating "Mean Streets" (1973), and even attracted the attention of Cannes. Wong Kar-wai has since been able to focus on making movies without worrying about financial issues. "There is a kind of bird in the world that has no feet. It can only fly and fly all the time. When it is tired, it sleeps in the wind. This kind of bird can only go to the ground once in its lifetime, and that time is when it dies." The True Story (1990) formally established Wong Kar-wai's style: sharp and slow-motion images, coquettish and playful inner monologues, solid details of life and the fateful endings of marginal characters. For the filmmakers who are not astonishing to die, it is imperative to break through the inherent pattern of genre films. "Evil in the East" (1994) is as light as it can be, as large as the universe and life, as small as an egg; the vigorous and rough image style, the indescribable love and sorrow, sway the grievances of knights and the loneliness of life. "Fallen Angels" (1995) is a companion to "Evil in the West", and it is also the story of a killer and his agent, a mess of cool images, and an emotional confusion that every ordinary person can relate to. In the 1990s, Wong Kar-wai's masterpieces were like a wave, and he was selected as the most important contemporary film innovator by the famous British magazine "Sound and Painting". "When we were closest, the distance between me and her was only 0. 01 cm, 57 hours later, I fell in love with this woman", "In January 1997, I finally came to the end of the world, this is the last lighthouse in the south of South America, and then there is the South Pole, and suddenly I I really want to go home", the lines of "Chongqing Forest" (1994) and "Breakthrough" (1997) have become classics worshipped by movie fans. 1998 may be a watershed for Wong Kar-wai's creation. He has been seeking breakthroughs and fell into the model he created. It is difficult to extricate oneself. "In the Mood for Love" (2000) is just a twist to tell the tragedy of missing love that Ouyang Feng has already explained very thoroughly. The excellent and unique use of slow motion is a reflection of the king's charm. "2046" (2004) ) The lineup is luxurious and highly anticipated, but Wang Jiawei, who insists on "plagiarizing" himself, is exhausted. The film's reputation is extremely poor, and the box office is even more difficult to receive. "Blueberry Night" (2007) invited a group of international popular movie stars, but the international production is obviously not If you have stars from all over the world, you can succeed. Otherwise, "The Promise" (2005), which brings together stars from China, Japan and South Korea, has long been recorded in the annals of film history. "For me, the biggest nightmare for so many years is that one day I wake up and find myself Made a bad play. "Wong Kar-Wai may have also noticed that after the age of 40, he has made more than one bad movie. The script of "The Grandmaster" is the first time someone has been hired to do it, which shows that he has lost inspiration and self-confidence as a script writer. "Kung Fu two words, one horizontal and one vertical. Right, stand; wrong, fall. Only those who are standing are qualified to speak. "This kind of philosophy of winning the king and defeating the enemy has become the signboard of "The Grand Master" and the material of the media, which is really embarrassing, not to mention the snobbery and vulgarity of the values of this sentence, which is inconsistent with the identity and pattern of the grand master of the generation. The logic of the film itself is also a slap in the face: Miya Haneda fell in front of Masan who deceived his teachers and destroyed his ancestors, and Masan may not be standing right? The film is not only full of "I have you in my heart, but I can only "Until I like it" and other uncreative and vulgar lines, the martial arts scenes are also mediocre, not as handsome and handsome as "New Dragon Inn" (1992), "The Lion King" (1993), and their momentum and freehand brushwork are not as good as "Dong Evil West Poison". ", the hard bridge, hard horse, and hearty are not as good as "Kill the Waves" (2005); the actors recite the pretentious "Motto" in a pretentious manner, and with the exquisite and exquisite pictures, the film that lacks connotation and is dull and rigid becomes more and more apparent. Flashy and empty. I don't know how long Wong Kar-wai's winter will last. What is certain is that fame and imagination are not necessarily proportional, and sometimes fame also grows heavy wings. The biggest enemy of famous artists in creation is himself. (media
