the rivers and lakes where you are not

To be honest, as a narrow, lazy and ignorant audience, I have always been less interested in martial arts films. I don't really like IMAX either. Probably because of Tsui Hark's name, he went to the cinema to experience it. In addition, I also want to know what role Fan Xiaoxuan played.
I started writing in a hurry, and I was getting older, and everything that happened in the past two hours was quickly blurred. Only the outline of a certain moment can be grasped.
I would like to say that although many people have raised their noses and eyes on this film, they say that Xu Kejiang's talents are exhausted, that 3D is unnecessary, that the plot is incoherent, and that the soundtrack is not good. I still think this film is good, except for the synthetic picture effect, which is not bad. Even the emotional part was not sacrificed by the fight. Yes, what I want to talk about is the emotional drama, although the plot can also be said, Chen Kun's white face makeup is very docile, the eyeliner is also very enchanting, the fighting drama is not conventional and has bright spots, and there are all the factors that should be in this drama. , martial arts, love, strategy, eunuchs, knights, and treasure hunters, everything is necessary for business, and there is no lack of visibility. But as a superficial laywoman audience, I'm more interested in emotional dramas. Especially Zhou Xun's part.
Every martial arts film has its own interpretation of "Jianghu". For so many years, the rivers and lakes seem to have become a container, and any fantasy and ideals, whether beautiful or dangerous, are pinned here, and any bland or bizarre stories are staged here. The rivers and lakes are very big, but when they fall here, there is only room for the next man. After watching it, I look back and think about Zhou Xun pretending to be Jet Li, sitting on the rope hanging on the river and waiting for the opportunity to save people. There are many unspoken emotions in this scene at this moment, but they were all in a silent posture at that time, waiting. In other people's stories, this woman set fire to the inn for the man she was waiting for, tried every means to see him, and did everything to save his life. Also, he was seriously injured and dying, and he didn't want to be seen by him. Zhou Xun's performance never disappoints, it is much more vivid than my empty and boring depictions. While admiring her attention to detail, her eyes flowed and her body changed. When she finally saw the person who had been waiting for a long time, she was injured. When the black storm was about to hit again, she turned back and said only three words "to help you". On the other side, it is more important to marvel at Tsui Hark's understanding and shaping of women. Li Lianjie said, "It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes", and Tsui Hark asked Zhou Xun to say, "In the past three years, I feel that the rivers and lakes are very big." The big rivers and lakes are close to nothingness and no existence. The huge rivers and lakes exist only because of you. Usually, the "children's love" in martial arts films is just an embellishment, but here, I see Tsui Hark's appreciation for women, and he has shaped every woman here with a gesture of worship rather than play. Although there is a little bit of symbolism and idealism, but At least there is no prejudice and stereotyped thinking about women that ordinary men have. Especially Zhou Xun. Find a way to leave, find a way to be happy, and find a way to forget each other in the rivers and lakes, but in the end, I can't forget and follow. So in the end, "good people don't die", what I want to do is that they can't stay in the rivers and lakes without you. The love of a knight seems to be more than just love. He is clumsy and can't say anything else, but it must be in the thick and ethereal flavor of the rivers and lakes. In the fog floating on the river, on the bamboo raft swinging among the reeds.
Love has always been very important. Even Feng Li Dao, who has traveled all over the world with his lips, did not forget Gu Shaotang, who had broken up and threatened to "don't talk about love, only talk about business", and desperately buried her when the sandstorm came. Drag it up to the palace. In addition to love, there is more righteousness. There is no chivalrous spirit at all, how can I go to the rivers and lakes.
The women in his films have always been romantic and lovely, whether they are smiling or sad, wearing long skirts or cloth shirts. This is the case with Zhang Manyu, Wang Zuxian, Gui Lunmei, Li Yuchun, and Zhou Xun. And there is a kind of neutral beauty, just like the rivers and lakes in his lens, vast and vast, and agile and passionate.
In addition to the women in the play, in addition to affection, the scenes of martial arts are also creative, such as the head in the box at the beginning, such as a drop of blood in the eyes of the dying Fan Shaohuang. Although the story is a bit hard and a little rushed, it does not lose its highlights and sincerity, and it is worthy of applause. Don't forget to take care of the details, such as being funny occasionally, for example, after escaping the disaster, Feng Li Dao turned into a "smiley" cloth shoe.
Towards the end, I feel that the old monster wants to say a little too much, and these two clocks are a bit too big to hold. I think it is natural to have opinions, and there should be, but when criticizing, you should also remember to see the beautiful and good, that’s fine. No matter how much you can see.
