The first time I saw this movie when I was a child, it was so lively that I didn't even have a clue of who the starring director was. The only thing that impressed me was the dead eunuch's foot that was chopped into bones.
Later, when I watched it again, I had a deep memory of the plot. Xu Jinjiang's rudeness, Maggie Cheung's coquettishness, Brigitte Lin's tenderness, and Leung Ka Fai's elegance, everyone's performances are all in their own way, which are all worthy of aftertaste and scrutiny.
The last time I watched this film, it was the last conversation between Zhou Huai'an and Qiu Moyan that made me cry:
Zhou Huai'an: That flute, I gave it to Jin Xiangyu unintentionally. you explain. People say that in troubled times, don't complain about children's love, but in troubled times, children's love is deeper.
Qiu Moyan: Dizi will never be found again.
Zhou Huai'an: Nothing outside of the body is more than the love at the moment.
Such a few words that looked extremely nauseous actually made them express such sincere feelings. In particular, Leung Ka Fai's slightly feminine voice, slowly saying these words, was especially moving. How long does it last? How long does it take to be strong in love? Maybe that's it.
I really appreciate the acting skills of these actors, who can interpret these seemingly simple plots so movingly.
When Zhou Huai'an was pulling the arrow for Qiu Moyan, he slowly took off Mo Yan's clothes, and it didn't seem like a gimmick at all, but Mo Yan's shyness and Zhou Huai'an's cherishment made this scene so warm, I couldn't help but think of it. In a word - Beauty's Nest, Hero's Tomb.
Jin Xiangyu is beautiful and passionate, dare to love and hate, Qiu Moyan is reserved, gentle, elegant and generous, Maggie Cheung and Brigitte Lin deserve to be the two women that men love most, and they are also my favorite. I never liked little women. Little women seem to be stupid, retarded, crying, and annoying. Although the characters of Jin Xiangyu and Qiu Moyan are completely different, they are both grand and sincere, and women also have pride. However, my favorite character in this movie is Zhou Huaian. The gentle and affectionate man is the most loved by women.
Thinking of Lin Chong, played by Leung Ka Fai, he is actually quite similar to Zhou Huai'an. He is elegant and gentle, and he still adheres to principles in distress. Although the image of Lin Chong in the original Water Margin is similar to Zhang Fei, in my mind I always think that Lin Chong is the image of Liang Jiahui - gently combing Wang Zuxian's hair and hair, fearful of intimidation, loyal to his brothers, but neither humble nor arrogant to all annoying forces , the performance is very manly.
My favorite Hong Kong-made costume films, New Dragon Inn, The True Color of Heroes, Green Snake, Demon Lord. Maggie Cheung is always passionate and charming, Wang Zuxian is charming and enchanting, Qiu Shuzhen is charming and cute, Brigitte Lin is sassy and soft, and Zhang Min is sexy and glamorous, but the characters they perform are so stubborn, yet so lovable. Liang Jiahui won my heart, Qi Yuxuan's elegant demeanor, and Jet Li's Zhang Wuji was high-spirited and heroic. Beauties and heroes, all the characters are atmospheric, not pretentious or pretentious, that is the style that only belongs to that movie era.
You love Hong Kong-produced films, especially the old films before the return of Hong Kong. European and American films are second, and domestic films are unavoidable (there are also good ones, especially many old films are very good). Hong Kong-produced films are a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, with both the unrestrainedness of the West and the restraint of the East. Hong Kong films have a serious and entertaining spirit, and have their own unique character, avant-garde, sincere, witty and humorous with bitterness and depth. It's just that Hong Kong films can now be confused with mainland films. They no longer have the spirit of serious entertainment. They no longer entertain movies, but unscrupulously entertain fans of mass entertainment. Film itself is commercial. I love commercial films, but certainly not literary films, but if commercial films are only commercial for commercial purposes, one day, they will either lose the market, or there will be only supporters who will not criticize but will be tolerant.
I sincerely hope that Chinese movies will become better and better, and the flowers of home can be more fragrant than wild flowers.
