The Chinese-language film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" produced in 2000 was brilliant at home and abroad at the time. Ang Lee proficiently runs his introverted and deep style throughout the film, and every shot has the beauty of restraint and restraint unique to China. The movie channel always broadcasts this movie frequently. But at that time, I always felt a dull atmosphere when I watched it. Only by calming down and savoring it carefully will I find that there is a Chinese-style philosophy hidden under the surface. The plot of the movie is simple and not complicated. After a generation of hero Li Mubai retreated and practiced, he suddenly decided to retire from the arena. In order to show her determination, she entrusted her confidante Yu Xiulian to give her Qingming Sword to Lord Baylor. After Xiulian gave the sword to Lord Baylor, it was stolen by Yu Jiaolong in the night. Although Yu Jiaolong was of noble birth, he learned martial arts from the blue-eyed fox. Xiulian knew that she stole the sword, but in order to be polite and considerate of face, she forced her to return the sword herself. Li Mubai also cherished Yu Jiaolong's martial arts talent and worked hard to guide her on the right track. The name of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" corresponds to a line of Li Mubai, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the rivers and lakes, what is the human heart. What is the evil in the sword, what is not in the human feelings." The rivers and lakes are sinister, and everyone is hiding themselves. In the whole movie, each character has his own sadness and love. This may be the source of the pervasive sadness. In the opening few medium shots, the deep feelings between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian are portrayed very delicately. He said, "There are some things I need to think about again." There is no word for love, but it shows the deep love in his heart. Li Mubai fell into a state of emptiness and loneliness when he retreated and practiced, perhaps because he never let go of the feelings in his heart. Forced by love, even two people who love each other dare not admit their feelings to each other. Li Mubai wanted to retire from the arena, perhaps after years of depression, he wanted to live a peaceful life of his own. What impresses me the most is that Xiulian has never understood Mu Bai, thinking that they still have to maintain the old state. She thought that Li Mubai came to Beijing for the sword, while Mubai thought that they had made an appointment to retire together. One does not understand, the other does not understand, which is regrettable. Moreover, Li Mubai thought that if he surrendered the Qingming Sword, he would be able to retire from the arena, but the fact did provoked new hatred and old hatred; he thought he was really determined to quit the arena, but he couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart that he had lost and regained it. Still in love. The most surprising character should be Yu Jiaolong. Although of noble birth, he had to sacrifice his own happiness for his father's career. She was constantly oppressed by morality and etiquette, and it also gave birth to a strong desire for freedom. But the truth is always disappointing. She learned martial arts from the blue-eyed fox, but the blue-eyed fox always wanted her to accompany him as a thief of Jiangyang. She has feelings for Luo Xiaohu, but Luo Xiaohu always wants to possess her and let her accompany him back to Xinjiang. In order to escape the shackles of marriage, she took Qing Mingjian into the free arena she longed for alone. However, the rivers and lakes are not full of freedom, but more of falsehood and disguise. The most exciting part is that Yu Jiaolong sings poems and fights at the same time. The soundtrack here is brisk and interesting. And she is indeed, as the poem says, a dashing sword fairy in the world. In the entire film, she is the most real person, directly expressing her desires and desires. When Yu Xiulian said that she couldn't get over morality and etiquette with Li Mubai because of a marriage contract, Yu Jiaolong said, "Love is love." In the whole implicit movie, Yu Jiaolong is the most prominent one. At the end of the film, although Li Mubai avenged his teacher's revenge and saved Yu Jiaolong, he could no longer enjoy the peace with Yu Xiulian. Suppression will only make the feelings stronger. In the end, life will come to an end, and the sentence "I have always loved you deeply" that has been suppressed for a lifetime is finally spoken. The repressed feelings were finally released, and they also went to silence. Besides Lust, Caution, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is my favorite Ang Lee movie. Ang Lee's film is as bland as boiled water, but the aftertaste is also long-lasting. Ang Lee expresses another kind of rivers and lakes, no longer just happy grievances, but hidden deep feelings.
