What Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian (Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh) showed me was a "born attitude". The two of them are used to fighting and killing in the arena, and they want to retreat to the mountains and forests. This kind of attitude towards life is not something that people of my level can understand. The vicissitudes of life and the attitude of being born, coupled with the chivalrous style, as well as the unique elements of the Chinese style - high mountains and flowing water, bamboo forest gowns, and martial arts in the rivers and lakes - are very attractive to Chinese audiences, and should also give foreign audiences a very special feeling. And their birth attitude also includes tolerance, restraint and letting go beyond life and death. In the end, Yu Jiaolong killed Li Mubai, and Yu Xiulian did not take revenge. The calm she showed did not come from restraint, but from a genuine open-mindedness in her heart. This level of life should still be very psychologically shocking.
Yu Jiaolong is a very tense character in the movie. It's hard to imagine that a woman with such a peaceful appearance can be so violent inside. In the eyes of outsiders, she is knowledgeable, gentle and well-behaved, but the real her is terrifying. At the age of eight, he will hide martial arts secrets, very scheming. Under the long-term influence of the blue-eyed fox, she pursues the life principle of "as long as you are happy", and uses force to solve things that can be solved. She likes the little tiger who can restrain her in violence and is full of male hormones, but she is tolerant of her; she will take whatever she wants, confident that she can overcome everything; she lacks trust in others and does not trust Yu Xiulian, Because she herself has always had a betrayal attitude towards the "mistress". But she has a conscience. In the end, facing Li Mubai's sacrifice to save her life and Yu Xiulian's forgiveness, she finally woke up, and finally decided to take the sin of her life as a result of her death.
Personally, I think that the values conveyed in the film are not very enlightening to ordinary audiences. Few people can achieve this attitude of birth, and it is not necessarily worth advocating. This kind of open-mindedness is more related to the artistic atmosphere of the film, because martial arts and rivers and lakes are always associated with this kind of born chivalrous.
The visuals and dubbing of the film are of course impeccable. Zhou and Yang's Mandarin doesn't make me feel too dramatic. One is of course their acting skills are impeccable, and the other is that Hong Kong dialect is not so bad. Zhang Ziyi's hard work was not in vain, and she fully demonstrated Yu Jiaolong's temperament-violent and cruel but kind-hearted. The vicious look in her eyes was really charming. Zhang Zhen is very handsome, I like this kind of tough guy hahaha~
That's it~
