"Sword Rain" is a traditional martial arts. It is about seclusion and hegemony. It just confirms a sentence: people are rivers and lakes, how can you quit. A drizzle of bone-cutting plastic surgery is like a painstakingly desperate version of the golden plate to wash your hands, trying to get a quiet, and never ask about the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes are not business, you can't help yourself. At the same time, "Sword Rain" is anti-martial arts again, moving into daily life that seems to have nothing to do with the theme, and there is a lot of space. The ultimate pursuit of the boss of Blackstone is similar to a blatant irony. These yin and yang characters are really not qualified enough to be villains, and they only make random jokes.
From the sunflower collection of Xu Xianzigong to the direct ridicule in Stephen Chow's movies, eunuch culture has always been the object of being trampled on, but its vitality is tenacious and widely circulated. Compared with a certain part of the body being cut, their vocal cords are also cut, and they can only act as a microphone. However, the suspense of "Sword Rain" is not here, it is just a sarcastic joke by the way, it is more about revenge, another difficult problem in the rivers and lakes. Compared with the internal disputes of Blackstone, "Sword Rain" buried the revenge drama. All the sins of Drizzle on the surface were just snatching the body, she evaded the pursuit, and sought to escape the limelight. In fact, it was just a small mistake, and even she herself did not expect to make another big mistake in the process, and the truth took her by surprise.
This is a closed river and lake, so Drizzle and Zhang Gongzi will bump into the same doctor, so Drizzle will eventually reveal his identity and plant bitter fruit. Once the conflict can't break out, the story can't move forward. Many characters are in a state of wanting but not being able to. Drizzle wants to live a peaceful life, Zhang Gongzi wants to catch everything in one go, Wheel Runner wants a man's words, Lei Bin wants to accompany his wife and children to make a note, and the color drama master wants To heal an old sickness. The reason is nothing else, the grievance is not over, the account is not settled. Through the motives of different characters, we can easily think of some martial arts masters who have suppressed their natural instincts. The villains also have such confusion. There is always a dissatisfaction that drives them to do evil, and their struggle and repeated process are usually called people in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily.
After talking about so many serious topics, it does not mean that "Jian Yu" is a serious martial arts movie, and it can be extended to any major reason. On the contrary, I think it is laughing at the rivers and lakes, and it is still taking the subversive route in essence. A chivalrous woman with both beauty and martial arts was actually reduced to the point of blind date, and finally chose an ordinary person. Blackstone's boss is pretending to be mysterious and blind all the time, and he just can't do it in his bones. In the face of seduction, the man does not close his eyes and stand the test. The first thing he thinks of is to shout that there is a female lunatic, everyone come and see. Before the war started, a few people contacted each other to have a relationship, and one of them would sharpen their swords in a hurry. The laughing scenes of "Jian Yu" are not accidental, they are all deliberately arranged, Su Zhaobin just wants to discover the fun in life, even if the setting of this world is in ancient rivers and lakes, he is still thinking about the real Taipei, everyone has My life is full of sadness and helplessness.
Many people elevate the universal significance of "Jianyu", thinking that it is not good at the box office, which is really a pity. They feel that this is a dazzling blockbuster, and at least enjoy the treatment of a blockbuster. In fact, if Su Zhaobin's popularity and unconventional themes are used, "Jianyu" may be better, but it is normal to be cold. . To know that there has never been a similar entry attempt before, Taiwanese directors have a long way to go. Some people enjoy the fun of playing, but some people resolutely reject it, or the best response to "Jian Yu" is the sentence in the film that reprimanded the actor. There seems to be no better way for the film to find the points that the audience is interested in, and mistakes are made repeatedly in the process of conveying.
What I want to declare here is that I never think "Jian Yu" is a blockbuster. After all, from the news of the start of shooting to the smoke bombs thrown behind the scenes, the film gives the impression that it is messy and has no moves. It can be seen from the finale battle that Drizzle will only remember the four flashbacks. "Sword Rain" is really not a blockbuster material, and there is no grand momentum. Maybe some people appreciate the flowing Weiya martial arts, but it still can only stop at the romance of the rivers and lakes, and the last thing is not to let go of the past, the husband and wife both return their homes. On the other hand, "Di Renjie", although not a martial arts film, but watching Di Renjie dragging his body away in the shadows, the final fate is uncertain, we have reason to believe that the spirit of the knight can survive in various bodies.
Compared with the flawed story and the troublesome actors, "Sword Rain" is wrong because he thinks that he has a big bull like Wu Yusen, and he can have a beautiful dream. In fact, except for Wu Yusen, who does not exist at all, "Sword Rain" does not have a character who can turn the world around, and the only one who has some appeal is Michelle Yeoh. Everyone still comes to see the fight, not to see what suspense is decrypted, so "Sword Rain" It's actually reasonable to get the current box office. From the point of view of genre films, there is no breakthrough in the martial arts style of "Jianyu", the martial arts style is close to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but Zen is far away from Hu Jinquan. After all, Xiaojianghu has the limitations of Xiaojianghu. Not everyone can be hated by the country and the family. That world view is really a combination of courage and knowledge. Of course, "Jian Yu" may have never thought about going in a big direction from beginning to end, so the problem has come back again. It is obviously a typical mid-range production with sufficient level. To drive it down the road of the blockbuster, the result is a farce with loud thunder and little rain. Everyone wants to be Ang Lee, but everyone realizes the truth at the end. There is only one Ang Lee. Besides, Ang Lee still has things that don't sell well, and blockbusters have also become a laughing stock and have failed. How can "Sword Rain" get out of the way? You have entered this arena, and you still want to be as easy as a drizzle, packaged as a literary and martial arts film, and the box office is full? It's impossible to think about it. It is good that you have the ingredients, but how to make the ingredients into delicacies is not just by shouting. 【International Herald Tribune】
