I think, Dongfang Invincible is still not defeated. In this last splendid love like fireworks, he just used a way of death to prove the victory of his love. Although Sheng was poignant and helpless, he did not have the heroic heroism of the king when he succeeded in the past, but he got the most sincere thoughts of another man who could communicate with him. Such a victory is as beautiful as a holy lotus flower.
Sad love is often more cohesive than happy love, to touch the soft and real part of people's heart that has been carefully cared for.
It's like a long time ago someone left a comment on my blog saying that the music playing on my blog sounded a bit bleak. I remember watching "Memoirs of a Geisha", there is a sentence at the end of the film, "After many sad things, people must learn to be kind". In fact, sadness or sadness, it is a metaphor for reality. Desolate music, after it is over, you can often feel a kind of real life by carefully reminiscing about its lingering sound. Someone once commented on music: music comes from nature, and when music comes out, words die.
The love between Dongfang and Linghu Chong is destined to end in tragedy, but Linghu Chong doesn't know about it, while Dongfang Invincible is addicted to his expectations for people's hearts and is willing to sink.
It is difficult to define their love. Although it is a vigorous love between men, Dongfang has a more delicate mind and soft appearance than ordinary women. He is a woman who is imprisoned by a man's body. Their love begins when a man and a woman are happy.
I don't like Linghu Chong in the play very much, it is very different from Jin Yong's Linghu Chong. However, Linghu Chong here also has a genuine and forthright personality, which makes people like it.
Whether it is "The Invincible of the East" choreographed by Tsui Hark or "Green Snake" and "New Dragon Inn" choreographed by him, the love in the film is gentle and light at first, but the ending always goes through intense external forces. All the good feelings before the annihilation, although the intensification of contradictions is also a main line in the story from beginning to end. It is precisely because of this that we can feel the vast power hidden in the emotions of people.
True love has the power of life and death, perhaps this is what Tsui Hark's film wants to really express.
