I wrote it twice and deleted it twice, even if no one cares, I have to talk about the mental journey of the film review, haha. I was 13 when this film was released, and it’s been exactly 13 years now. If I could only write one film review in my life, it would be Wuji. Why, one is of course the movie is good; the other is that there are so many bad reviews that I can't believe it. I regret watching Chen Kaige's interview. I wanted to find some clues about the movie, but there were basically no clues. Of course I don't believe it. How can a movie that spends such a huge amount of money and bets on the director's reputation have no connotation, so I think Chen Kaige confuses the public. I think I have cracked the content of some movies, and the following information and movie screenshots will be given as evidence. (Data from Baidu, rigor is a matter of opinion)
Let's start with the title "Wuji" The following is the explanation of the word "Wuji"
Suppose we first identify "Wuji" as the central idea of this movie, (there is too much information, I am interested in Baidu) We extract several keywords from the concept of Wuji as the basis for interpreting the movie.
1. Tai Chi (exercise)
2. Two instruments (yin and yang) (two qi sympathy)
3. Four elephants (Suzaku, Xuanwu)
Let's start with the clues given by the movie and the prophecies of the gods, and then bring in the above concepts to see if the statement is true, and how Chen Kaige made fun of the audience.
This is the prophecy of the gods appearing 3 times. The most important point is:
Allure: You will not be truly loved, you will lose it immediately if you are loved.
Guangming: If you can't move the truth, you will die if you are moved.
The two people's prophecies should be interpreted together. If Qingcheng's prophecy is a curse, then the light is the one who should be robbed. It's possible for the two of them to be together, and it's not that Manshen didn't give them a chance. The condition is that the light cannot move the true feelings. Why is it said that the owner of the flower armor is destined to kill the king, pay attention to the prophecy of the city, and he will be favored by the strongest man. The flower armor is a symbol of the strongest in this world. Killing the king is the strongest, not to mention Qingcheng is the queen, so the king is mortal. The owner of the second piece of flower armor made the slave kill the king by mistake because of his conceit. He didn't say that the owner of the flower armor killed the king himself. Manshen can't be wrong. Not to explain. The third time, from now on, it is no longer and tacitly agrees that the second prophecy said that it is light. Where is the third demagogic place? That is, the order of the prophecies of the full gods has been reversed. She first said that the light is no longer the owner of the flower armor, and then said that the sun and the moon are the same sky. In fact, the flower armor has always been by Guangming's side. After the sun and moon are in the same sky, Guangming lost the flower armor because he was put on by Wuhuan. When it comes to the sun and the moon, the concept of Wuji has to be brought into the front. Taiji produces two ceremonies, which are called yin and yang, and also refer to the sun and the moon. There is a saying in Liangyi called Erqi Sympathy, which means mating. If Kunlun was the one who should have met Qingcheng, how did Manshen's prophecy go wrong here? No. How to understand the previous sentence later, after losing the flower armor, there is nothing and no life, and the flower armor will have a new owner, that is, come back to life. Pay attention to Allure's prophecy, unless. . . People come back to life! Resurrection is the point. The prophecy reads this
Let's talk about innocence and light
It is known that Taiji gives birth to two yi and two yi to give birth to four images, and we are talking about the two images of Suzaku and Xuanwu.
Wuhuan is the king of Beijue, and the north is Xuanwu, black in color, holding water, living in the north, like a snake tortoise. The symbol of Wuhuan in the film is the black bird, and the clothes Wuhuan wears are all white, so it seems that Xuanwu has little to do with Wuhuan except for the north. No, see the screenshot below
It seems that the problem is solved, but what about the snake?
Ye Li's helmet and epaulettes are all snake-shaped, and Ghost Wolf's weapons are all snake-shaped. Both of them surrendered in a betrayal way.
Why is Guangming Suzaku? The first Wuhuan said that it took a year to walk from the extreme north to the palace. Regardless of the distance, Guangming definitely does not belong to the north, either the Central Plains or the South; the second Suzaku is red, it is red, Palm fire, living in the south, and strong in nature. In ancient times, the Suzaku were all charged in formation, so there is a saying that the former Suzaku and the latter Xuanwu. In human history, there are fire and bird characteristics. Suzaku, phoenix, and phoenix (Western) usually mean immortality and rebirth.
The Southern Vermillion Bird Li hexagram means light.
Why not the other two elephants, because
Water overcomes fire, and water Xuanwu extinguishes Suzaku, which is also confirmed in the movie
Yin and Yang are relative and interdependent. If the light belonging to Yang dies, can this world continue? According to Wuji's theory, it cannot continue, so the world is destined to be reset.
To understand this movie, you must recognize that Allure and Brightness are destined. In terms of the movie's plot, the flower language of Begonia, which represents the love of Allure, symbolizes bitter love and separation.
And the movie tells you at the beginning of the relationship between Begonia Flower and Guangming, and it has nothing to do with Kunlun. Begonia flowers like strong sunshine.
Why Kunlun put the last, I have a bold and creepy idea. There is no such person as Kunlun at all, otherwise he is a god, or exists as a symbol. What does the word Kunlun mean? It generally refers to the Kunlun Mountains. The Kunlun Mountains are snow-capped mountains and refer to the Snow Country. Legend has it that there are gods living in the Kunlun Mountains. Are there people who are so pure that there is no desire in the world? I'm afraid you're a fool, can you run the time? Is that human being?
In fact, the director did so many things just to tell you that Kunlun is not a human being. Since Kunlun is not a human being, what is it? It is Tai Chi itself, pay attention, in this movie Kunlun can be said to have contributed to the occurrence of all events, the victory of the battle of the canyon, killing the king, sending Qingcheng to Guangming, two qi sympathy, killing without joy, making fate Reincarnation determines the fate of everyone. Is this something a normal human can do? Running fast refers to the law of the universe's operation, reincarnation. This is invisible, but it exists.
Does it sound like Kunlun?
What puzzled me in the film is that Manshen turned into a woman in red in the banana forest. The two prophecies of Guangming appeared in the banana forest. Pay attention to the first prophecy. Guangming took Kunlun and got lost in the banana forest, and said, "This is the banana forest again." can not read it. Plantain represents extreme yin and sadness. The film and television poetry works either write about the ghosts in the banana forest, or use the banana to express the sad image. If it is said that light represents fire, it is in line with the plot of the banana fan and the Flaming Mountain in Journey to the West. The extremely yin banana forest and the extremely yang light, only when there is balance will the full gods appear?
Finally, I would like to commend the lines that were criticized by others. Chen Kaige's lines are really excellent. This person can express the situation with one word, and he absolutely does not need two words. Throughout his movie lines, they are rarely very colloquial. . So watch his films with great care, almost word for word. If you miss one or two key words, your understanding may be quite different from the film itself.
So what is this movie about? I don't know, life is reincarnation? The movie is a good movie, but I think Chen Kaige is just shooting himself. In the end, although I have no friendship with him, I would like to share with everyone about this director. He once hinted in an interview that he wanted to cast a movie, regardless of the investor's face or the box office. Yeah, because almost all of his movies are funded by him. Promise casting is really good and very daring. Guangming is so short, can you imagine that he will play the role of a general who is under one person and more than 10,000 people? It is not difficult to find a Chinese actor with a mighty figure and good acting skills. It shows that Chen Kaige not only knows people but also dares to use it. The performance of this Japanese male star is very brilliant. I can hardly imagine what other male stars are like. In my heart, he is the bright general who can never be replaced! There is also Concubine Yang Gui from the recent Legend of the Demon Cat, although I have no feelings for this film, but those eyes, oh my god. Every time I see Yang Guifei's movie poster, I have to take a few more glances. The story is too strong. Also, even if he doesn't understand the plot of his movies, the pictures are definitely worth the ticket price. I still have confidence in Chen Kaige.
Many people say that the plot of a bad movie is inexplicable. In fact, most people can't understand not only the plot, but also the movie scene. Why have Begonia flowers? Why is there a sun and moon? Why is the ghost wolf's weapon a snake? Ye Li's helmet wrote the word "li" in a serious manner. Why did the camera capture the snake-like badge on his chest many times? Why does Manshen clearly say that it should be Kunlun, but there are alluring and bright bed scenes? Do you think Chen Kaige is so superficial and spends so much money just to shoot a story about a woman who worships money and falls in love with a scumbag, and finally lives happily with the spare tire? That kind of story was shot by you, not by Chen Kaige.
I think film reviews need to be objective and to answer what is given in the film. Subjective assumptions are meaningless, and writing them is really a slogan. Discussions are welcome.
