I remember watching the promotional film of "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". The title of the film was uniquely written from the left and right at the same time. Coupled with the melodious theme song and wonderful fighting scenes, there is indeed a kind of captivating Charm.
When I saw the film officially, the title became a very mainland four-character co-occurrence, with a hint of blood. I watched it patiently at Oscar. When it's over, it's over. In fact, that's what it is. There is no breathtaking expectation and fantasy when watching the promotional film.
In fact, the movie is far less interesting than the novel. Although I was still young when I read the novel, I didn't know much about some of the plots. Nor did he understand the intricate character relationships in the book at all. I would not have linked this film to that novel at all without stating it. I can't remember the plot in the book, but I remember Yu Jiaolong's sassy and heroic appearance. Forget the side branches in the novel, but I can't forget the excitement and excitement when reading the book.
Since I forgot what the original book wrote, let's just talk about the movie.
The greatest advantage of modern film is that it can materialize people's freewheeling thoughts, and this is also the shortcoming of film. On the one hand, it indulges people's thinking to do whatever they want, and on the other hand, people who have indulged their thinking sigh with embarrassment. People are never satisfied, and film becomes the art of regret.
I don't like Yu Jiaolong in the movie very much, but I like her courage, whether it is love or life, she is the kind of youthful invincible, fearless publicity and domineering. That's what youth is like. She wants love, she wants honor, she wants adventure, she wants to be different, she wants everything she can think of, she wants to do whatever she wants.
I also don't like the way of love that Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian chose in the movie. The way of holding the lute, the rhythm of singing three folds is indeed a product of that long-lasting era. However, their spirit, spirit, morality and righteousness in dealing with the world are immortal, and they are worthy of the pursuit and learning of the younger generation who are as young as jade dragons.
Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian are two different generations from Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu. Therefore, the love between Li and Yu is destined to be different from the violent storms of Yu and Luo. Of course, with the status and experience of Li and Yu, it is natural to pursue feelings in addition to the high level of martial arts character. superstructure. That kind of long-lasting love is the symbol of eternity. But young people just don't buy it, they want to love simply and clearly. This may be said to be a generation gap problem that is very common today. Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian are a generation. Yujiaolong and Luo Xiaohu are another generation. Li Yu and Yu Jiaolong tried to teach Yu Jiaolong how to be an upright and upright hero (this is like Guo Jing taught him), but Yu Jiaolong didn't listen to Chong Chong and coquettishly and tried his best to meet Li, The two of Yu faced each other. She wants to tell the two seniors that she wants to live the life she wants in her own way, that she wants to live freely and love what she loves. Yu Jiaolong has no fear and no regrets because he is young. What she did and did was in turn to teach Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian how to love, and to love each other was to love themselves.
Of course, you can also draw this meaning into an exchange and collision of Eastern and Western cultures and ideas. Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian are the representatives of the thoroughly traditional Chinese, while Yu Jiaolong is the representative of the Westerners who are unconventional and express their personalities. The convergence of two cultures and ideas is bound to have collisions and frictions. It is boring to say who is right and who is wrong. It is just a different product under different backgrounds.
It's a bit tricky to use the woman Yu Jiaolong as the representative. How to say? You think, those Westerners who are making a fuss about women's rights see Yu Jiaolong's nonsense, in addition to Zhang Xian's personality, she is also a ready-made representative of a wonderful feminist proposition. what do you say?
Going back and saying that the title of the film written on the left and right in the promotional film also seems to be a kind of implication of the exchange and convergence of the East and the West? It turned out that Ang Lee had planned it for a long time. Years of living abroad made him understand the temperament of foreigners and know what they wanted from the film.
