Twenty years ago, at the same angle, the same director was sitting behind the monitor, and the sunglasses on the director's face were definitely different. Leslie Cheung said to the camera with the same expression, "It seems that you are in your early 40s. In the past 40 years, there are always some things you don't want to mention, or some people you don't want to see again, and some people have I'm sorry, maybe you thought about killing them, but you didn't dare."
Dong Xie and Xi Du, who later became "great masters", were not even forty years old at the time. Young and frivolous and loves to talk about sorrow. After crossing a desert and over two mountains, I dare to say, "Behind the desert is still the desert, and behind the mountain is still the mountain". I have only experienced one sadness and two misses, and I feel that the past can no longer be faced. Better to forget and start over.
"Shall we start over?" He Guorong asked Li Yaohui. It's still Leslie Cheung, or Tony Leung, looking for the waterfall at the end of the world together. Passing through more cities, experiencing more people, getting sad again and again and again and again and then starting over and starting again. No matter how you start, you won't get the ending you want.
Hong Qigong went back, Ouyang Feng didn't, and the others didn't go back or move forward. Youth and stubbornness became evil in that desert. Look at yourself.
Li Yaohui went back, He Baorong did not, but there is a person in the story who has come to the end of the world. Another kind of stubborn youth is isolated in a lighthouse by the sea, watching the world.
The first two stages of martial arts. the first two stages of life. I knew I was wrong and looked back, but I couldn't look back. Gong Er saw that he had seen the world, and finally went back. Ye Wen didn't go back, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
Ye Wen's story started at the age of forty.
In the story of the King of Sunglasses, there must be a person who refuses to follow the time, like old photos, stories of rivers and lakes, memories of childhood, back there, frozen there, withered and forgotten there, like Ouyang Feng's sister-in-law , become a thorn and a scar in the hearts of those who follow the time, a thought, a button in his hand, a spell in his heart - "if you can go back". There is another person who is determined to go against time and cannot be obtained, like the blind warrior who went back to his hometown to find peach blossoms before he was completely blind, a monument and a tower standing on the passage of time, the stories of later generations, the wounds accumulated on his body - "I don't give it when it's time." The former is self tossing and tossing others by the way, the latter is tossing and being tossed by creation if you don't want to toss yourself.
If he refuses to keep pace with the world, he will not live comfortably; if he tries to go against the current, he will die unhappily. But how to walk with time without losing yourself in the flood? Don't lose, don't forget, don't stick to it, how can it be so easy? Fight the fight that should be fought, refuse the salary that should be rejected, go to see the person who wants to see it, and leave when it is time to leave. Ye Wen is a person who doesn't screw up at all, but he doesn't want to destroy it if he wants to. His feelings for Gong Er will never be revealed. It looks like a silver building with an elevator, a combination of Chinese and Western decoration, and a cheongsam brocade. Like a Zen machine.
Zhang Zhen is the continuation of Tony Leung's story in "Sweet Spring", another possibility of Li Yaohui. He saw the lighthouse, and he looked a bit like Tony Leung. A line of heaven in this film is the continuation of Ma San, and it is the contrast of Ye Wen. The mentality is still the "young young generation" who competed in the desert twenty years ago for martial arts and love, but they didn't have the thought of "looking back" and moved forward murderously. Therefore, when he met Gong Er again in the restaurant, he did not go after the old man after all. Hong Kong is a new world. It is necessary to establish its own order in the new world. There is no need to miss the personnel affairs of the old world. In "Evil in the East and Poison in the West", the narration wants to say "big fierce" hexagram.
The two scenes of fighting in the rain, the same color in slow motion, also shot the raindrops, all of which are "one inch short and one inch strong" elbow hitting the top of the knee, the rain under Ip Man's feet is always clear, winning or losing is not hostile. The rain on the side was stained red with blood, and it wanted human life. In the two scenes where people were smashing the scene, Ye Wen left people a way before he shot, and avoided people when he shot. Must fight for this tone.
The two are side by side. It is Kung Fu, or Jianghu, or to put it simply, it is the two attitudes of traditional China, two paths, and two polar fates.
Gong Er was fortunate to meet Ye Wen first. In a fight in the Silver Tower, no one was injured, no one was angry, and no one wished "I must win", because Ye Wen said, "If I break something, I will lose." With him in her heart, it is no longer a knot in her heart, and it is there properly. That's why, in a duel with Masan, no matter how ruthless he said, in the end, he just got back "what originally belonged to the Gong family" and didn't take anyone's life.
Gong Er and Yi Xian Tian met on the train. The fight was arranged at the train station. Many directors are obsessed with this kind of transportation, which is the most similar symbol of "time galloping" in the world. In the movies of the King of Sunglasses in the past, people always walked slowly there, and the light was dragged to the back in a hurry, and the scene was like a dream. It is a rare occasion to show the movement and stillness of "time", the rapid change of generations and the persistence of people's hearts, so that people and scenes are both real. The train has not yet left the station, and the contest is over. An era of seeing right and wrong with kung fu is over.
Gong Er also withered with that era. Facing the hole in the wall again, he ended his story. The vows made in front of the Buddha must be kept no matter what, and the things you want to get back should not be relaxed no matter what. She is cruel to herself, but not embarrassing others.
The last time I met Ip Man, it was almost a copy of Maggie Cheung's last makeup look in "Evil in the East". The same is the time when the flower season will pass, the sun will die, and people will die. Maggie Cheung said, "When I was at my best, my favorite people weren't around me. It would be great if I could start over!". With the same innocent face, Zhang Ziyi's temperament is obviously more resolute, but what she said is "It is my luck that I can meet you at the best time. Unfortunately, I have no time."
So it can only be "liked" so far. This is enough, there is no need to "start over", no button left, and no more tricks. In short, don't you remember me. Regret is a part of life, although it cannot be said to enjoy, but at least it can be tasted. How many deserts and mountains have to be crossed before you can learn to let go of others; how many lighthouses you have to cross at the end of the world before you can learn to let go of yourself.
When you can let go of yourself, maybe you can go to more places than "like", and you don't have to go back.
Ye Wen has never forced others, let alone feel sorry for himself. Life comes and goes with it. Don't say forget it, go back, start over, need an extra ticket, just go with me... that kind of thing. "There is a mountain outside the mountain", there is nothing wrong with going to see it, and if it is good, it may not necessarily come back, maybe it is another world. The world changes, Wing Chun always has three tricks.
This is the best part about this film for me. I also felt trapped in every possible way when I watched "Evil and Poison in the West". Over the years, I have seen the world and let go of the people in the past stories. But have you seen sentient beings? Have to ask again. It's like growing up in sync with the only character in the story of the King of Sunglasses.
When I was at my best, it was also a kind of luck to meet the King of Sunglasses. Better yet, we all still have time.

Sunglasses movies are always very personal. Those who have tasted "jealousy", those who "rejected first" because of their self-esteem, and those who have "winned but lost my life" after betting, either can understand, or can't understand. .
I always say that sunglasses are actually drinking friends. After a while, this guy always gets half drunk before coming. During the banquet, some old stories were told over and over again. I don't want to be seen too clearly, and I love to talk about it, so I think it's obscure. Others summed it up as "boring."
Every time the protagonist's name changes, the background of the story changes, but it's still saying the same thing. Because I was drinking too much, my thinking was not very coherent, and I listened to the foreword and the afterword. There are also those who are fascinated by it, and there are those who scold "the madman is talking nonsense".
Between people, talk about this fate. A difference of 0.01 cm by one second is not fate. Those who heard the story by heart, when they saw the appearance of the sunglasses, they spread out the small bench and spread out the fruits, ready to see what kind of tricks he could revive this time.
Unexpectedly, the story went on and on, and the alcoholic tried his best to make a serious face.
The meaning of the so-called "Look at yourself -> look at the world -> look at all beings" in "The Great Master" has already been mentioned above. In the past, it was almost time to dissipate this place. But Yingyingchaochuo's pockets had other flavors.
In this film, the northern Mandarin is mixed with Cantonese, and which dialect does not have a duplicate, what is wanted is the flavor of "Southern Boxing, North Legs and One Boiler". Ye Wen and Gong Lao fought all the way before the demolition. On the surface, it was a "trial" and secretly taught the arts. In the section of breaking bread, what Ye Wen was talking about was actually a political opinion. The last one shot upside down, the word "Republic" is too prominent on the plaque behind him.
From the "unification but not unity" of the martial arts sect, it corresponds to the national pattern. Looking at the big picture, Gong Er is like the old era and cannot be left behind. In addition to a stunt, there are also the rivers and lakes and their children. The unrooted and unconnected line of heaven is the ancestor of the Hong Kong gang. Ye Wen, on the other hand, conforms to the new trend and adheres to the old principles, inheriting Chinese civilization and Chinese philosophy with martial arts.
Zuo Kuma Xiangshan said, "In the first ten years of life, you only need to take care of yourself. For the next ten years, you have to take care of your family. In the ten years after the age of twenty, you have to think about your hometown. Then when you reach the age of 30, you have to worry about national affairs. Four After the age of ten, you should worry about the world.” The King of Sunglasses has also arrived at this time.
The time has come. The heat didn't come. As far as the content of this layer is concerned, it was born. "The vision should be far away and the pattern should be big", "You can't see good people, you can't tolerate people's strength, it's narrow-minded", "remove the martial arts and see the martial arts Fang Zhen" in the lines ghostly wandering in the lines, just like the clouds and temples in the film A small gap. Plundered, in the area, passed again. It is neither clear nor transparent, but neither deep nor thorough.
This drunkard used a background of turmoil and turmoil, and occasionally swore an oath of "freedom, equality, and fraternity", but the whole thing still sounded like a child's love in the red dust. I really think about it a lot, but unfortunately this temperament is not easy to say. If you want to take care of both ends, you can only see the big from the small, and the needles are hidden in the cotton, and you can't mix the two. Too many lines will mess up.
