I wanted to see Huang Feihong because I missed Goddess Guan very much, so I asked Mengmengda Thirteen Aunts to have a look, so I posted a few photos of Goddess Guan first.
How about it, it's so beautiful, isn't it, but what I want to talk about is not the Goddess Guan, but Tsui Hark.
It is said that I watched the first three Huang Feihong films today, and I admire Tsui Hark in particular. The reason why he is said to be a pioneer of the times is because these three Huang Feihong films have one core - thinking change, and let the characters from different positions and different classes speak out. , the first part borrowed Huang Feihong's mouth, the second part is Mr. Sun and Mr. Lu, and the third part is the complicated relationship between Huang Qiying and Thirteenth Aunt (Thirteenth Aunt is both Huang Qiying's daughter-in-law, Huang Qiying is also Thirteenth Aunt's brother-in-law, that's all), and the second part is my favorite, so let's talk about the second part first.
Huang Feihong came to Guangzhou with A Kuan and Aunt Thirteen, and was involved in the chaos of China at the end of the 19th century. Revolutionaries, colonists, the Qing court, and civil cult organizations. In the melee at the end of the century, Huang Feihong stood in the whirlpool of the times. What choice should be made? In order to highlight this series of complex contradictions, Tsui Hark focused on the portrayal of characters and factions, and weaved a net of heaven and earth, and everyone was caught in the net, and no one could escape the crushing of the wheels of the times. . The revolutionaries are not afraid of sacrifice, they are willing to shed their blood, for the independence and prosperity of the country, this is good, but they are so powerless in the face of the chaos; the colonizers squeezed China and divided China, but they were humanitarian, and they protected the representatives at the critical moment. China's future students and children also protected the revolutionary people who represented hope; the Qing court, especially Nalan Yuanshu, was mixed among the cults, colonists and revolutionaries. He was kind by nature and hated the white lotus sect. Compatriots, protect the safety of ordinary people, and do not succumb to imperialism, but in the old and new choices of the times, he insisted on his loyalty and persecuted the revolutionaries; in the end, the evil cult, the White Lotus Sect, carried out terrorist activities and destroyed advanced productive forces. , hurting innocent people, thinking about it is nothing but a helpless move under oppression, the Lucifer effect, even if the leader is not right, he is just taking advantage of the call of the masses. In these disputes, Huang Feihong saved the foreigners, the revolutionary party, killed the officers and soldiers, and killed the White Lotus Sect. This contains a kind of thinking. Humanism does not distinguish between classes and identities. We focus on the details of the grand narrative. , we will find that history is built on every life, not a banner and doctrine. Mr. Sun told Huang Feihong that the medicine box could not save thousands of people. Huang Feihong chose to accept the new, abandon the old, and chose to save thousands of people. After this night, there will be more in the future.
In the first part, Huang Feihong said that no matter how high the martial arts are, he can't match the guns. In the third part, Huang Qiying broke the old concept of honor and inferiority and agreed with Huang Feihong and the thirteenth aunt's marriage, both of which are the pursuit of new things and the advancement of the times. desire. There are also some details that express Tsui Hark's attitude towards Chinese and Western culture. In the second part, Huang Feihong and Mr. Sun save people at the consulate. One is acupuncture and moxibustion by traditional Chinese medicine, and the other is surgery by Western medicine. It is said that the most important thing is to cure diseases and save people. It can be seen that in the face of Chinese and Western cultures, no matter which one is, saving the country and saving the people is the most important.
In these three Huang Feihong films, the portrayal of the characters is also intricate and full of personalities. The characters are placed in the historical environment, and their destiny is linked to the social and ethnic groups. Except for Nalan Yuanshu in the second part just mentioned, There is also Master Yan in the first part. He is not bad, but he takes refuge in Shahebang. He also wants to help justice, but he wants to rely on bad people to gain a foothold. He also understands Liang Kuan's words, but he can't understand the righteousness. This kind of contradiction The characterization of the personality is very wonderful, and here, it also shows that the impurity of the means will inevitably lead to the impurity of the purpose. In addition to shaping the image of the main characters, the description of the Chinese nationals is also very profound. The boss of the stage turned his face and refused to recognize anyone and called the Thirteen Aunts fake foreign devils. One second before he praised Huang Feihong and the next second, no one was willing to testify. People don't care about the ceding of Taiwan, and they claim that the anti-Japanese marchers are fed up. The believers of the White Lotus Sect think that the body protector does not shoot bullets, especially the young girl who stepped forward and shouted for the body protector to let it go. The tension of the performance is at its maximum. Although the people were so numb, Tsui Hark was optimistic. The students were rescued. Mr. Lu also went to rescue the little girl from the White Lotus Sect. Mr. Sun said to the children, no matter what, you must make it through tonight. This generation can see the rising sun of tomorrow.
These three films are mixed with Tsui Hark's serious thinking on history, society and nation. No matter how good Huang Feihong's martial arts is, he is only devoted to the long river of history. future. We little people can't stand on the cusp of the storm, so please be more enthusiastic and chivalrous.
