In fact, it proves that the story itself has depth. With depth, there is a need to dig. The difference is that some people dig gravel, and some people find real gold.
Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian, or Yu Jiaolong. Those are just fictional characters, but we can feel that they are by our side and their every move is so real.
This should be attributed to the script master Ang Lee and the actors. You must know that the characters who were born in the original work and died in the script and died in the performance are comparable to the number of sand in the Ganges. And they are so flesh-and-blood, it is worth our time and time again for them to be embarrassed.
Li Mubai: Success is also a chivalrous person and a chivalrous person is defeated.
Li Mubai is the spokesman for the chivalrous spirit, and he never forgets the chivalrous spirit in every move. Although the name of the hero moves the world, it is a pity that this snail horn has been tied up for a lifetime.
Does he love Yu Xiulian? Of course love. It's a pity that he didn't reveal the truth until the moment of his death. Wouldn't it be a happier day if we were together one day earlier?
How does that happen. Yu Xiulian is the unexplored widow of her good brother. How can this be worthy of Izumi's brother? No matter how high his martial arts skills are, he can't break through the barriers he has set up.
After talking about love, let's talk about his death.
Li Mubai was killed by the poisonous needle of the blue-eyed fox. In fact, in the previous confrontation, if he could harden his heart, he could easily kill the blue-eyed fox and Yu Jiaolong who rescued the blue-eyed fox. But he didn't.
That's the restraint of a hero. He could never just kill a person who could not die because of his sins, but it was this person who sent his life indirectly.
You may say that Li Mubai is too stupid, but this is his own choice. He has guarded the chivalry for a lifetime and fulfilled his reputation. Even if he did it all over again, he would do it.
Li Mubai, a hero living in depression.
Yu Jiaolong: Desire led all the way to destruction
According to the timeline, Yu Jiaolong, who made his debut for the first time, was so stubborn and persistent. For the sake of a comb, he would risk his life to catch up, even at the expense of himself. Later, it was the same for Qingmingjian, and it was also the same for the pursuit of freedom.
In a word, she was completely led by her nose, and she bumped into each other all the way, and she didn't know what she wanted in the end.
Li Mubai lived in pure repression, but Yu Jiaolong lived on a journey of chasing desire, no matter how he ran wildly, it would never end. Little did she know that absolute freedom equals absolute bondage, and in the end she still lost her way.
Is Luo Xiaohu really her true love? Of course, but when she just ran away, she didn't look for Xiaohu everywhere, but did all the things she wanted to do but didn't have the chance to do. In the final analysis, it is the desire of the heart.
When she finally reunited with Xiaohu, she found that her love with Xiaohu was nothing but the same.
Li and Yu's previous complicated feelings
, Li and Yu, are the extremes of the two personalities, and they are also a symbol of the extremes of those who possess these two personalities. They are like the two poles of Tai Chi, one can exist only by relying on the other. If you look at it alone, it is nothing. Therefore, when one party falls, the other party cannot exist.
Li Congyu saw aspects that she did not possess, and of course she also found out that she was a martial arts genius. So he was determined to subdue Jade to inherit the mantle. But between the two of them, an inexplicable affection was born.
The affection between them, is it love? Film critics have always had different opinions. Li and Yu did not confess their feelings to each other. Their stories gave the audience more room for speculation. This was a great blank.
This kind of affection is far higher than love. Therefore, after Li Mubai's death, Yu Jiaolong immediately felt lost. From the moment Li Mubai kicked Mixiang over in the tattered cave, she was no longer controlled by her desires. But without Li Mubai's guidance, she also lost the meaning of her existence.
In front of the Wudang cliff, the phrase "make a wish" she said was actually speaking to herself. You know, if a vow is spoken, it will not work. Her words were actually the foreshadowing of the jump afterward.
The whole story does not have a happy ending, but there is a heavy feeling from the beginning to the end, and the sadness that fate cannot be defied. But this fate is caused by these stubborn protagonists. These stories seem so far away from us, yet close by. Li on the left, Jade on the right, everything depends on your choice.
