1. After watching the movie, it is a strange feeling that people cannot capture in words. It is very exciting, very quiet, and very satisfying. The three of us talked about finding a place to talk, but we were full of words for a while and some couldn’t come out, but we would definitely go to the second brush. Gege watched it first, but it didn’t slow down, and he didn’t express too many opinions in the group. Wait for the second brush and then touch everyone.
2. The reason why I would like to rewatch it is that Director Hou’s films were all videotaped before. This is the first time I have watched them on the big screen, which broke the prejudice that I used to think that the effects of literary and artistic films are similar. , that kind of aura is still different, it's too comfortable to see, and the opportunity is rare.
3. The film footage is super clean. The mountains and rivers of the motherland are so beautiful. When I watch it, I think of going to such a mountain when I traveled. Sometimes I will stay quietly for a while. Those ancient temples, those stones, and ancient trees, at that time I Just thinking about the life of the ancients in such a mountain, walking around in this mountain, it is strange. As for this movie, it has realized all the things I had in mind. Why haven't so many costume films been made in the past? Because they are modern people, they are afraid of the loneliness of the audience, so they have to create a bunch of sound effects, music, the camera cuts very quickly, the people fight very quickly, and they keep talking all the time. But Director Hou asked Yinniang to walk among the fields and forests. What the audience heard was the sound she heard - the sound of cloth shoes stepping on the grass, the sound of leaves in the forest, the sound of the stream, you know an assassin, she When a person kills someone without speaking, this is what she hears in her ears, and she sees sunlight, trees, and white clouds in her eyes. Before she killed her, this was her world. This was her world at that moment. It was very lonely. Also very quiet.
4. Some people say that this movie is a scenery movie, ah hey! In fact, you haven't calmed down and experienced the scenery when you travel. If you are a tourist who gets in the car to sleep, gets out of the car to pee, and takes pictures of the mountains and rivers and sends them to the circle of friends, you will feel that it is just a scenery film. So you see, even if it's just the scenery, everyone faces it differently. No matter how great the scenery is, you can't appreciate its beauty without patience. When watching this movie, my mind was learning those Tang poems when I was a child, something like "A thousand mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear." These sentences of Tang poetry, I felt beautiful when I was very young, because of the perspective of its gaze. These scenes in "Nie Yinniang" are the beauty of serenity that can stand staring. It is the director staring at the mountains and rivers. When you look at this vast land, it is okay to let your mind go empty, and it is okay to be in a daze, that is also very wonderful. Let go. So I will go to the second brush, and the second brush is not tired.
5. Director Hou's films have always been slow. His rhythm is not the rhythm of this era, but when used to film the Tang Dynasty, the rhythm is very powerful. Think about the rhythm of our life 20 years ago, What is the rhythm now, it was much slower then than now, and then think about the rhythm of the ancients? Zhai Yongming has a poem called "In Ancient Times" - "In ancient times, I could only do this, write a letter to you, I don't know where we will meet next time...In ancient times, Qingshan strictly existed, we only But if you hug your fists, you will know that there will be a future....In ancient times, we were not like this. We just rode horses side by side and walked dozens of miles. When the earrings tinkled, you smiled slightly, bowed your head, and we walked for dozens of miles. Miles." So it is to be slow, compared to modern life, it is actually a slow life, the life of an assassin, the life of a king is also slow, so slow that modern people find it boring, so Hou Dao is right of. Everyone talks about slow life all day long, but is it really possible to slow down? If I really want to tell you something to read slowly, many people are restless and impatient.
6. Then the people in the movie don't talk much. As an assassin, Yinniang basically doesn't talk. I think this is also very correct. She is an assassin, just kill her, why are she talking so much nonsense. I also think that in ancient times, people were not as eager to express themselves as the various social tools today. At that time, there was no psychology, religion, and philosophy to discuss. Farmers were farmers for a few lifetimes, and assassins had the fate of assassins. , Saying so many words can't change anything, what's the use? Watching this movie, I want to talk about the feeling when Tang Monk in Journey to the West finally became a person who cherishes words like gold - the world is finally quiet!
7. In fact, it is difficult to be "slow". If you have practiced yoga, cycling, or Tai Chi, you will know that it is easy to be fast, but to slow down, if you don't have concentration and aura And real control is simply impossible. The real master is slow. People with poor physical condition and quality can't stop when a movement is thrown out, and people are all lax. But Hou Dao's slowness is the slowness of Tai Chi masters. The outside world is moving fast, but I have my own speed, no chaos at all. As a bystander, I find it really enjoyable.
8. Hou Dao is not chaotic or fast. In the rushing social trend, maintaining his own speed and rhythm requires extremely strong concentration. Live, it will form a powerful aura, soothe and calm people's hearts. I am a creator myself, and I have a deep understanding of this point. Although I will try my best to control my rhythm and not let external forces lead me to find the north, I am often disturbed by the world passing by outside me. It's chaotic, it's inevitable to be anxious, the world is so fast, it can't keep up, what should I do? After watching this film, I felt that I was surrounded by the Great Bear Nebula, and my heart was settled and quiet. Of course, most people are too busy these days, and they may be in a state of impatience.
9. This film can actually be called "The Daily Life of a Tang Dynasty Assassin". The narrative method of the entire film is to de-spectacle and to grasp the horse. Audiences who are filled with spectacles and horses by Hollywood movies may not be very adaptable. In fact, recalling the stories of the ancients we learned when we were young, no matter how vigorous they are, they are all in a normal tone. From this point of view, the breath is the same.
10. Regarding the emotional line of the story, Director Hou did not explain too much. I personally can accept it and like it very much. When telling a story, it is necessary to connect emotions and lay the groundwork for psychological construction. This is the expression of modern people. way, because we modern people have psychology, philosophy, and equality, democracy, freedom and fraternity BLABLABLA... but the ancients did not have these. Nie Yinniang married a young mirror-grinder, and the original sentence was as follows: "Suddenly, the young mirror-grinder reached the door, and the girl said, "This person can be my husband. "Father Bai, my father didn't dare to refuse, so I married him." Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin and asked Fan Yuqi to borrow the head, but Fan Er gave him the head without saying a word. When I was a kid, I read this passage and thought it wasn't two neuroses, but I thought it was very cool and charming. The teacher tried to explain it, but I hope I would rather not explain it. We modern people pay attention to how this relationship originated, how to sublimate and finally get together. This is the temperament and method of modern people. If you don't talk about it, the audience will feel very confused, but when you talk about it, it will lose that temperament and be disenchanted, so the director will have to make a choice at this time. I personally like the choice of Director Hou very much. I don't need to explain, and I don't plan to make up my mind, that's all, what you see is what you get.
11. In the end, I said that Yinniang did not kill. A friend had read the script before and asked a question. Isn't this the same as the nameless in the hero who does not kill. Because Tian is also a tyrant (add, Zhang Zhen is so sexy playing the villain). I think it's still different. Yinniang is different from Wuming. She has no political stance and no concept of family and country. She doesn't really care about politics and whether she kills this person for justice. So this movie, Yinniang, is anti-political, she is just a kind and righteous person, a good girl.
The above are just a few impressions. I have to say a few words in a mess. I have the right to share.
