Without further ado, let's get to the point. The plots of the two are very simple. "Casablanca" is about the entanglement of two men and one woman (European and American tastes are not to be confused), while "New Dragon Inn" is about the entanglement of one man and two women (in line with Chinese law on "one woman"). One wife and one wife”, referred to as “one husband and one wife” regulations). The clues all revolve around the pass, and the background is placed in the desert.
The actors of the two films are handsome in men and pretty in women. Paul Henreid (Victor Laszlo), the second male lead in Casablanca, defines a mature man, elegant yet fortitude, calm and brave. In Rick's cafe, he directed everyone to sing the Marseillaise (at that time the French mainland had already fallen), showing the charisma of a revolutionary party leader.
To tell the truth, the male lead in "Casablanca" - Humphrey Bogart (playing Rick Blaine) (the third from the left in the picture above) is the greatest actor of the century selected by AFI. Not as tall and handsome as Paul in the show, but to borrow the words of Captain Renault, one of the core supporting characters of the film: "I suspect that under that cynical shell you are at heart a sentimentalist." (I suspect that under that cynical shell you are at heart a sentimentalist. The heart is a human being). In present words, he has a kind of masculine feeling that most people don't have.
He gave the initial impression of a "dick", and on the one-third of an acre of land belonging to Rick, he would not buy anyone's account. His quotations about his mistress are destined to last forever.
Yvonne: Where were you last night?
Yvonne: Rick, where were you last night?
Rick: That's so long ago, I don't remember.
Rick: That's so long ago, I don't remember.
Yvonne: Will I see you tonight?
Yvonne: Will I see you tonight?
Rick: I never make plans that far ahead.
Rick: I haven't made up my mind about what's ahead.
Cigarettes never leave hands and wines never leave mouths, because only the pain of the lungs and stomach can be used to cover up the wounds of the heart. But Captain Renault said, "Well, Rick is the kind of man that... well, if I were a woman, and I were not around, I should be in love with Rick." , if I were a woman, and a person, I would fall in love with him.) He is a little bit bad in the melancholy, but he clearly cares about others but has to be hard-hearted.
The heroine in "Casablanca": Ingrid Bergman (as Ilsa Lund). The goddess in the eyes of the goddess, even Hitchcock's queen, Grace Kelly, regarded her as an idol.
However, I personally think that, perhaps due to the film atmosphere of the year, Bergman's lighting in "Casablanca" was very attentive, really deified, and the beauty was too unreal, and even covered up her individual hypocritical shots.
Brigitte Lin (playing Qiu Moyan) in "New Dragon Inn" was once known as the most beautiful woman in Southeast Asia. At the age of 38, she chose to play an inexperienced chivalrous woman when she was 38 years old, and most of the scenes in the film appeared in men's clothing. Her mellow acting skills made people forget her true gender and age. It makes people think that this is Qingxia.
Feeling "both Shengxia and He Shengyu"! If Lin Qingxia is acting what is what, then Maggie Cheung is what acting is. What could be more real and natural than a performance in its own right?
The biggest highlight of the film is Maggie Cheung (played by Jin Xiangyu), her perfect acting skills make you feel that this is the true character of a coquettish proprietress, completely forgetting that she can be a cute white-collar worker in "Police Story", "In the Mood for Love" The lonely young woman in . She is like the desert sand that covers up other characters in the whole film, no matter how sharp Wu Qihua and Liu Xun are as eunuchs, no matter how skilled Donnie Yen is in martial arts, no matter how righteous Leung Ka Fai is, it is not as good as Maggie Cheung who sings an erotic song on the roof naked.
"August 15th, the temple door opened, and all kinds of candles were put up. The red candles are red, the white candles are white, I can't hold my little sister..."
(The person who understands in seconds faces the wall himself)
And in "New Dragon Inn" The Liang Jiahui (played by Zhou Huaian) is really a green leaf, and he is willing to serve as a foil for Ershu. Of course, Zhou Huai'an in the film also has a man's feelings. He deceives two women at the same time for morality, but he is still a good man. Really nice man!
Most of the unforgettable love movies always end in tragedy. Whether it's the loss of a sense of loss in "Roman Holiday", or the bereaved couple in "Titanic", or the death of both of them in "The Liang Zhu". Probably the editors think that the incomplete beauty is even more embarrassing.
"Casablanca" is no exception. When the male and female protagonists meet, they are like Li Xunhuan in "The Passionate Swordsman", returning to his hometown, and Long Xiaoyun (here can be replaced by Captain Renault for the time being) said: "The cutting is continuous, and the rationale is still chaotic." The free translation is "A precedent is break"&"Anothet precedent gone". Ilsa stirred Rick's heart, no matter how much Rick loved and hated her, "As time goes by".
Maybe he had fantasized about reuniting countless times, dreaming that he would never see each other again in this life, maybe Ilsa had already had a husband and a son, or maybe he just played with his feelings at the beginning. But so what? No matter how tough a man is, he has weaknesses, and Ilsa is Rick's seven inches. He also had to sigh "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine. )
not only walked into the bar, but into Rick's dry heart again. He had rejected her, but he couldn't help but hit her the next day; After the begging of the disciple's wife, he was at a loss. In the end, he achieved righteousness and watched the beloved woman and rival leave. What a noble feeling! From selfishness and doubt in love to calm and rationality, leaving behind beautiful memories.
In the face of war, three The love of little people is trivial. Blame this damn war, it makes the gods and couples feel uneasy.
Hate also hate this damn desert, it makes the promise of cattle and sheep empty
. Zhou Huai'an and Qiu Moyan's childhood sweethearts are finally separated by yin and yang, which makes people shake their heads. But what about Jin Xiangyu? Who cares about the inner world of this coquettish proprietress.
How many men have obtained the body of gold inlaid jade, but no one has captured her heart. Except for Zhou Huaian. "La Traviata" once wrote: "But to be truly loved by a prostitute, it is an extremely rare victory, their flesh corrodes the soul, their lust burns the heart, and their indulgent life develops their hearts of stone. ." There is such a possibility that people tend to hide and pursue what they lack, longing for the complementarity of character and the belonging of the soul. Jin Xiangyu does not lack men, but what she lacks is a man like Zhou Huaian who "looks at him in the wrong way". At first, it was to satisfy her sense of conquest of men, but gradually she realized the joy of being conquered in love, and fell into a quagmire and could not extricate herself.
Those who do business carefully, have made the most cost-effective deal in life, and even lost themselves in it. What is so magical? It is the quicksand of love, which ruined Qiu Moyan's life and pulled Jin Xiangyu's heart into it.
But Jin Xiangyu is a strange woman after all. She dares to pursue her love, and she gives herself and the audience a hope and a thought.
The long yellow sand is long, and the west wind is astringent. When someone asked me why I was crying, I had to excuse myself from the sandstorm.
Ps: The song "Casablanca" is not the theme song of the film but was created 42 years after the film came out, but it is relatively popular.
