The two lines before and after the title are not the same couplet, but they are both from Du Fu, and they were seen on a Chinese paper in high school. Before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the rivers and lakes only existed in the ancient vernacular. After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", any poem you read will have that green bamboo sea.
Obviously, Li An is polishing Zen, every frame, one mirror, one flower and one grass, everything is surprisingly quiet. The hustle and bustle is the rivers and lakes, and the sword shadow and the light of the sword are also the rivers and lakes. You killed me and I killed you, and the grievances and grievances are entangled from generation to generation.
Li Mubai's master said that when you hold it tightly, you can't hold anything, and you can only have everything when you open your hand. This is a bit like the discussion between Elder Faming and Monk Tianyang in "The Legend of Wukong".
"Don't you dare, dare to do or not?"
"I dare not let it go."
"lay down!"
"I have both hands empty, what do I put?"
"Then why are you still holding on?"
Li Mubai has been holding on tightly all his life. He restrained his desires and wiped out his feelings. It seems that he was deeply poisoned by the great sage Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi, and tried to achieve the ultimate inner peace by "preserving the principles of nature and eliminating human desires". Silence means attaining the Tao, but attaining the Tao will not ascend to heaven, but will only be annihilated. So in the opening dialogue, he said that he was "surrounded by a sadness of annihilation." Only when he went down the mountain and sat opposite the person he loved, and only when he indulged in the flow of desire, did he truly gain peace. This coincides with Schopenhauer's "pendulum theory", that life is a swing between pain and boredom.
It was said that Li Mubai fell in love with Yu Jiaolong. I think it was Yu Jiaolong's wanton growth and youthful frivolity that deeply awakened him. She said, "Go wherever it's fun." She added, "Return your sword if you're happy, and don't repay it if you're not happy. When you love someone, you can fly with him in the desert, and when you say goodbye, jump from his side. Entering the snow cliffs of ten thousand feet. The so-called "come with joy and return when you are full of joy" is such an attitude to life.
The tone of this movie made me think of "Sword Rain" at once. When I was a child, cctv6 played on a loop all day long, so that whenever there were clouds and rain, the first thing that came to my mind was not the horse in "One Hundred Years of Solitude" Kondo, but Zheng Yusheng hugged his head in the rain, pretending to pass by to help the hostess put away the stall. The two took shelter from the rain under the grass eaves together. He didn't wait for an umbrella, and he didn't want the rain to stop. Martial arts are romantic, half the sky winked at the girl in the sedan chair, and Yu Jiaolong was lingering with the barbarians in the cave. But the most touching thing was the monk's confession. Li Mubai gave up his last breath, and he would rather fall into a lonely soul and only surround her for seven days. The Buddha Ananda said that he wished to be transformed into a bluestone bridge, to be beaten by the sun and rain for five hundred years, only to ask the beloved woman to walk on the bridge.
Finally, I have to say that the role of Zhang Zhen is simply a portrayal of an autistic patient as an adult, with intermittent speech, embarrassing lines, and naive personality. He said that he has been chasing the trajectory of the stars, I don't think it is necessary, you are like a child from the stars.
