Sigh: why?
I don't have a true love, but that doesn't mean I don't have my own view of love. I think, since I'm not happy, should I leave it behind? Who knows that someone told me that some things are inescapable, or difficult to put aside.
Zhou Xingchi is a genius, but it is only limited to comedy. The nonsensical Hong Kong-style language has developed in him to the point where he has the so-called Zhou style. However, he is not the originator of the nonsensical. In Huang Baiming's movies, you can already feel it from time to time. To this kind of happiness in the market, but on the principle of being funny for the sake of being funny, Stephen Chow is the most persistent person.
Therefore, it is easy for us to vent the last depression in our chests in his movies. However, what Stephen Chow forgot, or what he has been unable to do, is to fill in something after hollowing out the depression in people's hearts. After experiencing freshness, laughter, and aftertaste, the audience suddenly found that it seems that in Zhou's films, there are always shortcomings, and the reason is that it is not that his films are vulgar, simple, and childish, but that the vulgarity does not make us The remorse that came to our senses, the simple study did not let us put it down, and the naive did not make us dream of rebirth. Therefore, when he faced the films of Tony Leslie, Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung, the failure was obvious.
Of course, it all depends on the movie, not the people. It does not mean that Stephen Chow can only be a center, and then pretend to be naive and widen his eyes, saying that kao is as simple as that. Similarly, there are so many movies with good box office results in Stephen Chow. , you can still find one or two films, perhaps with the heart to treat the characters.
Hence "The King of Comedy".
Listening to the name, you seem to think that this is a movie that will be funny. However, this 1999 movie did not tap every joyous cell of the audience like "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" in the Spring Festival Gala that year. On the contrary, in this movie , Zhou Xingchi washed away the prettiness for the first time, and became less handsome, ghostly, and playful. But it was Zhou Xingchi, which was so simple, that moved me. This word seems out of place in Zhou's films.
At first it was because: I'm sorry, I'm an actor.
In Zhou Xingchi's films, there are too many little people struggling, but none of them are as painful and self-exposing as Yin Tianchou. In the previous Zhou Xingchi, the pain turned into fearlessness, and the cynical jokes covered up the sadness and sorrow of the little people. Lonely, because it is hidden so well, we can't see any embarrassment and embarrassment. This is a very classic character struggle history in Hong Kong society. It is similar to the United States, but it is more realistic and cruel. On the one hand, Stephen Chow's comedic talent has weakened this sense of tragedy that should belong to us, so we have become accustomed to anesthetizing ourselves in Stephen Chow's speech and behavior, because we are also small people. However, Yin Tianchou's personal tragedy is naked for the first time, which makes people feel even more unbearable to read. It seems that in this play, we can really find out whether we are really strong, because everyone will self-anesthetize, but Not everyone has the courage to face life head on.
Yin Tianchou's acting skills are excellent, but in real life his acting skills are clumsy, and it keeps repeating: I am an actor, it is easy for us to accommodate and accept, this is a life The downright weak in the film seems to have no reason to criticize the weak. In the film, Yin Tianchou loses more opportunities, but in reality, we don't even have the chance to lose the opportunity.
Therefore, it was the first time that Stephen Chow faced the role so bravely, which gave us a feeling that we had never had before. This seemed to be a new path that Stephen Chow could dig, but it was a pity that he turned his intention to stunts later. .
The second is the theme of the film: simply say love.
Can comedies say love? Of course it can, but the love must exist for the sake of comedy, otherwise the audience will say: Comedy can still make me cry? What kind of comedy is this? There was no concept of this new comedy at the time, and it seems difficult to accept it now.
Zhou Xingchi and Hong Kong actresses have cooperated countlessly. Among the many relationships, only three make people feel heartbroken. One is "Westward Journey", "Domestic Lingling Paint" and "The King of Comedy". "Westward Journey" is Stephen Chow's mental journey and then made a mistake. If half of the credit for "Domestic Lingling Paint" is to be credited to Yuan Yongyi, "The King of Comedy" is Stephen Chow's real breakthrough, although he did not do it for Stephen Chow. Bringing the Academy Award, although its box office is not the highest, it does not affect that it is such a prominent one among many movies of Stephen Chow.
The tragic fates of Yin Tianchou and Piao Piao are similar but different. They are both unable to reconcile the relationship between fate and self and finally give up their youth. The difference is that Yin Tianchou's struggle is obvious and abrupt. Implicit, meaningless, at the end of the story, the two seem to have reached each other, Yin Tianchou seems to have forgotten the angular life before, under the hint of Sister Juan, but flutters before the rich man said it was okay. In a familiar scene, say no, the tragic fate of the two continues, because Yin Tianchou's final sentence: Of course, it can really be said that all his futures are ruined, and fluttering gets this sentence and finally gets relief, the two. At this moment, the fate of people has a fit, saving people = self-help, the plot is here, and it naturally develops to its peak.
It can be said that the plot of the film is very realistic, and they seem to be familiar with each other. When the two faced the sea, they said, "It's so dark. You can't see anything in front of you. It doesn't matter. You can see it when the sun comes out tomorrow." When Piao Piao was beaten to death and insisted that she could not, when asked: Is it true that you love me, Yin Tianchou answered without hesitation: Yes, waiting for you. A very simple and carefree romantic tragicomedy has been staged, it is simple, throwing away all the bizarre, the most primitive Stephen Chow gave us a freshest film.
And in the end, when Yin Tianchou was impoverished again, he said to the corner of his mouth, "I love you."
These three words that were originally uttered in romance films, the three words that were originally so disgusting, and the three words that were unable to provoke any emotion in me, suddenly made my eyes wet.
It is simply to say that love is more real and pure than eachother.
So we say that Stephen Chow's film, which is still called a comedy, did not relieve us of much depression, but what it fills is far more than "Journey to the West", because when love becomes simple and real, It is within easy reach, not necessarily we will not cherish it, because what we have touched before is just the layer of tin foil on the outside of love chocolate.
Therefore, I personally think that when watching a movie, you can't just laugh just because the filmmakers are laughing. There are many kinds of smiles. Although it is very tiring, it is practical.
What's more, what "The King of Comedy" gave us is not complicated, but very simple love
. What's more, how do you know that simplicity must be simple?
