"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has three monsters.
The first strange thing is the strange accent. I don't know how many people can't watch it because of the two main actors' poor Mandarin. Anyway, I was very uncomfortable watching it. I wanted to mute it on Monday. Don't talk about the southern accent and the northern accent, where is the dialect of the Tian Dynasty like this bird? Of course foreigners are not subject to this obstacle
The second strange --- the evil and hatred, I believe that everyone has their own understanding of the rivers and lakes under the influence of Jin Yong or other martial arts novels. In my understanding, the stories of Lai Jianghu are mostly driven by grievances. The so-called revenge for killing the father is not shared. One day is a teacher and a lifelong father, and revenge is often the protagonist's top priority and even spiritual support. This piece of blame is weak in favor and hatred, that is, it is too "pretending to be arrogant".
On the one hand, the hatred of killing a teacher seems to be the biggest hatred in this film, and it was released when the protagonist said it. Instead, the purpose of going to Beijing was to have a romantic relationship with the junior sister, which really ruined my view of martial arts. Another grievance is the revenge of the arresting head to report the murder of the wife. There is not much ink in this one. It is interesting that the father is killed and the daughter does not want to take revenge but seems to be flirting with a man.
On the other hand, the "grace" in the film is also weak. Li Mubai's revenge is said to be released, which shows the lack of kindness from the teacher. The desire to send Master Sword Beller is to repay his kindness for himself to escape from the rivers and lakes is second. Jiaolong was taught by the blue-eyed fox, but he was selfish and only cared about his own practice.
This film focuses more on emotional scenes. The love between dragons and tigers, and the love between brothers and sisters have replaced enmity and hatred as the main clues to promote the plot. Personally, I think that "lighting on kindness and hatred and emphasizing personal feelings" is really not the attitude that martial arts should have. But it is in line with Western ideology, and the director's intentions can be seen from this.
The third strange - the logic strange, firstly, the blue-eyed fox turned from love to hatred for Tuer, and it was inexplicable that he had to wait for the male and female protagonists to arrive before attacking when he was unconscious; secondly, the Qingming sword had been stolen once. Li Mubai has also arrived. If you don't carry it with you, you should at least strengthen your supervision. Even if you can steal it once, it's outrageous.
Some people say that the use of cultural elements is very good, I am surprised, the desert capital wedding, calligraphy, swords, masks, Wudang cheats, secret weapons and other things, foreigners have not seen you, haven't you been tired of seeing it?
