A martial arts movie classic with deep Chinese traditional aesthetics

The classic martial arts film, originated from Liao Zhai, I only remember the story of the maiden giving birth in the book. I forgot the other. I searched for the title of the film and saw a new version. The artistic value and thought are far inferior to this one. There are too many love dramas and boat dramas. There is a love triangle, I just remember that the female one is dressed in red and the other is white. They are all fox demons. I finally saw this classic business card today. The composition of the picture, the setting, the use of light and shadow, the rhythm of the lens is too artistic and beautiful, the ancient city, the barren house, the mountains, the ancient temple, the water waves, the bamboo forest, and the wilderness are too beautiful. I feel that, especially in the part of the male and female protagonists, the guqin music is antique, and the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story has its shadow. The music is amazing, the guqin is elegant, the pipa is exciting, the drums are exciting, and it keeps changing with the plot, and the suspenseful and tense scenes add too much to the music. The action design is perfect, real and beautiful. Unlike the current thunder drama, which is too virtual, it has completely become a fairy drama. The plot of the abandoned house and the suspected battle against the enemy Dongchang was well filmed. The super long laughter is impressive. Bamboo forest against the enemy is a classic among the classics. The artistic conception of the picture is too beautiful. With the help of the toughness of bamboo, people's martial arts movements are flexible, flexible, graceful and powerful. The bamboo forest play of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has its shadow. In the later plays, especially the master play against the leader of Jinyiwei, the presence is too strong. I feel that his light has overshadowed the heroine in the back. The master is a radiant and holy reference, compassionate to the world, kindness and deep, and the value of force is high. However, The people of the world are sinister and cannot be prevented and cannot be resolved. In the end, both sides will suffer. The picture of the ancient temple of Lingshan changes with the shape of the cloud, which is also the main theme of the film. After all, it is also called Lingshan Sword Shadow. The historical background is the era of eunuch dictatorship in the late Ming Dynasty. There were too many dark and unjust cases at that time, which is also the ideological core and spiritual theme of the film. Good will not yield to evil, but also will confront, resolve and save evil, although it may not be successful. But this is an enduring proposition that lasts from generation to generation. The heroine likes it very much, it's beautiful, cold and sassy. Zhang Bingyu's Mie Shitai thinks it's very good. He also played the last emperor's grandson. Ah, but the outlines can be discerned vaguely, let alone the male protagonist, he is really not good-looking and old, the dark eye shadow is also a makeup feature of that era, both men and women love to paint, Ouyang Nian is very handsome, the master has a lot of feeling, aura Whether it is strong acting, he looks a bit like Chen Jianbin, the fourth son of the master is too miserable and innocent, and the goodness of a single thought was extinguished by all the villains.
