Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2 movie review: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is chivalrous, blue and white porcelain!

If Tsui Hark's martial arts world is full of family and country feelings, and Ang Lee's martial arts world is saturated with humanistic thoughts, then Yuan Heping, who has cooperated with the former two, Yuan Ba ​​Ye's martial arts world is full of fists and feet, happy and kind. The story of the rivers and lakes of hatred. Just like the difference between metaphysics and metaphysics, science and technology, Yuan Baye's martial arts world pays more attention to the visual effects of fists and feet. Yuan Ba ​​Ye, who is the only one in the world with martial arts guidance, occasionally takes over the post of director, and this Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2 is the second time Yuan Ba ​​Ye directed after many years. The core character of the previous work, Michelle Yeoh, played by Yu Xiulian, forms a new core of the Iron Triangle, which is really worth the audience's expectation. Facts have proved that this sequel movie is still a pleasing martial arts movie.

Although I know that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2, as a sequel, will inevitably be in a situation where the audience will be horizontally compared with the previous work, I would like to say something to the audience who like to make comparisons: classics are not for comparison, they need to be continued! If director Yuan Heping hadn't resisted the huge pressure to complete this sequel, then the audience would like to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2, and they don't know what year and month they would have to wait. Therefore, don't compare the two works after a lapse of 16 years. People's ideas and the market are changing, and there is no need to compare, in fact, both have their own characteristics.
Now I will briefly talk about the highlights of this film:

Highlight 1:
The magnificent natural scenery of New Zealand with beautiful scenery is one of the highlights of this film. The beautiful scenery and 3D display effect make people watch Be refreshed. Telling a bloody story of rivers and lakes in the magnificent scenery pictures, has nothing to do with the family, the nation, the humanistic conception, only the chivalrous tenderness and wonderful fighting and visual impact of fists and feet, this is the martial arts world belonging to Yuan Ba ​​Ye.
Highlight 2: Yu Xiulian of Zong Shifan
Yu Xiulian is the main character of this sequel. After so many years, Michelle Yeoh has added a few layers of wind and frost, but in this sequel, she shows the style of a master. Coupled with her emotionally charged monologue narrative, it's full of nostalgia. This nostalgia is in this sequel. It can be seen that this sequel, which was released after a lapse of 16 years, not only inherits the classic chivalrous tenderness of the previous work, but also unavoidably avoids the dazzling light of the previous work. The good news is that with the growth of age, Michelle Yeoh, who played the role of Yu Xiulian again after a lapse of 16 years, already has a natural master model, which leads the spiritual theme of the film to unfold step by step.
Highlight 3: The lone wolf Meng Sizhao, the wolf warrior Donnie Yen, and
Li Mubai's death have replaced the male protagonist of this film with Yu Xiulian's fiancé Meng Sizhao, who is played by today's hot kung fu superstar Donnie Yen. It can be said that Donnie Yen's affectionate joining has added more real and exciting fights to this movie. Compared with the illusory action scenes of the previous work, the action style of this movie will be more realistic. The lone wolf Meng Sizhao doesn't like to talk, and the fighting wolf Donnie Yen is invincible. With the cooperation of Yuan Heping and Donnie Yen, the master and apprentice, the action scenes of this film can be described as wonderful.
Highlight 4: Beautiful Liu Chengyu, jasper blue and white porcelain.
The actor Liu Chengyu of the snow bottle is indeed the best actor. Her temperament between a smile and a frown, the pure smile, and the resentment of the frown, are natural and slim with the jasper blue and white porcelain. The reason why I liken Liu Chengyu to blue and white porcelain is that this Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2 gives people a feeling of indifference and delicacy of blue and white porcelain, and the cyan pigment that makes this blue and white porcelain is undoubtedly the person who plays the snow bottle Liu Chengyu. Liu Chengyu interprets Snow Bottle's impulsiveness and innocence, naughty and lively, affectionate and preoccupied one by one, and can be called the best rookie and highlight of this film.
Highlight 5: Responsibility, Morality, Dignity
When Yu Xiulian's heart is full of the concepts of responsibility, morality and dignity, Meng Sizhao is always thinking about whether Yu Xiulian is doing well. Bearing morality and righteousness on their shoulders, both of them are the great heroes of chivalry. Yu Xiulian is a Taoist, and her life is a moral, while Meng Sizhao is a lover, and her life is a lover.

At the end of the poem:
The sword emerges from the rivers and lakes, and the
right path in the world has gone through the vicissitudes of life.
The love of the children should still be there, and the
chivalrous tenderness is famous.
