As far as Eastern society is concerned, Akira Kurosawa is a master, and Li An is not far from the master. Why? In my personal opinion, martial arts films are the touchstone. In such films that are most likely to fall into clichés and models, the vision, courage and courage of the screenwriter and director can also be best seen. So there is Kikuchiyo in "Seven Samurai", and Yulongjiao in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (I said that when I was a child, I had a weird feeling when reading novels, which is obviously different from "Water Margin" and "Three Kingdoms". Feeling. It was finally discovered by Ang Lee), and the master-level film was born. As for swordsmanship, the camera is adept, and the colors are bright, just the icing on the cake.
Although the Seven Samurai have been fighting robbers with flesh and blood, this is only the skin, and their real targets of battle are the peasants in the village. Warriors and peasants are neither noble nor righteous and evil, they are all abiding by the rules of survival of their respective classes. So the appearance of Kikuchiyo has an extraordinary meaning. The samurai looked down on him, and he looked down on the peasants, but on the contrary, the peasants and the samurai needed him to play a role in a lot of communication and getting along. This is a character worth pondering. It's a figure that can occupy a place in character history, and it's a figure that makes Seven Samurai such a masterful film.
Let’s talk about the characters’ language, which is concise and diverse, and closely linked to the characters’ characters. No matter whether the protagonist or the supporting role, there is no nonsense, and there is no long-winded scene, talking about ideals, fate, friendship, and love, but no one can Said that I watched a martial arts scene at the end (which Hollywood should also learn). But can mere brevity be a master? "The world" in "Hero" is enough to make people spit blood.
Finally, let's talk about the grasp of the details. In a word, it is whether you have it in your heart, whether you really have it or you have it. This kind of calm and long-lasting skill requires long-term cultivation. At present we do not have such an environment, no wonder those so-called "masters".
