Chapter 919 Has "The Grand Master" followed suit?(2/2)
Isn’t it working anymore?
However, at this time, among the film critics, as a professor at Yenching Film Academy, film critic Qi Ming posted a post in support of "The Grandmaster"!
"The Grandmaster, the movie in my opinion!"
Zhao Ze's movies have always been improving, but I have to say that this "The Grandmaster" really made my eyes light up. As Zhao Ze said before, in the movie "Gong Baosen is the face, Ding Lianshan is the face"
It’s Lizi; Ip Man is face, Yixian Tian is Lizi. What I want to talk about is not just Ip Man’s tree, but the entire martial arts world. On this road, some people stayed and some continued walking.
I hope that what the audience sees is a martial arts world, not just a person. Since it is a martial arts world, there should be trees and grass in the woods, and Guo’s scenes are neither out of place nor redundant.”
Yixian Tian, played by Guo Fucheng, is Gong Er’s ‘unseen’ fiancé and the successor of Bajiquan.
Recalling some of the previous plots, Lao Gong told Gong Er that you should not participate in the dangerous fighting and killing in Jianghu. You are already engaged, and this is a good marriage. In that era and under the conditions
, a good marriage means being a well-matched couple.
What does it mean to be a good match? "Yixiantian" is a descendant of the Bajimen. When he left the gang, the oath that the gang said, "We must be loyal to the leader..." was the oath of the Kuomintang. Guo Fucheng said, "The rules of Chaotian Palace are fine here."
"Emissary?" He wanted to leave the country. Guo Fucheng was a member of the Kuomintang. In order to accompany Mr. Gong Er, he broke up with his colleagues, overthrew a group of brothers, protected Gong Er as he went south, and diverted the attention of the Japanese. Afterwards, he arrived in Hong Kong.
They never married, so Guo Fucheng opened the White Rose Barber Shop and stayed together silently. Later, he opened the door and taught apprentices, which led to the introduction of Baji Quan to Hong Kong.
In fact, I didn't understand it clearly at the beginning, but the "Baji Quan" on the black screen subtitles at the end of the story made me aware of it. The time when Baji Quan became popular was at the same time that Ip Man opened a martial arts gym in Hong Kong.
At the same time, this episode is interspersed with the scene between Guo Fucheng and Xiao Yang. This scene tells that after Guo Fucheng opened the White Rose Barber Shop, he met the gangster Xiao Yang and accepted him as his apprentice. White Rose represents Gong Er.
The wait, the barber shop represents his regret and longing for Gong Er's cutting off his hair and entering Taoism, and accepting Xiao Yang as his apprentice shows that he opened a barber shop in Xiangjiang to teach apprentices.
Let’s come back to the scene between Zhang Xiaoyi and Guo Fucheng on the train. On the 30th of the year, the second Mr. Lao Yuan of the palace deposed Ma San, then went home and vomited blood, and then ran on the train to escape the Japanese. Guo Fucheng was accompanying him, even though this
At that time, the two were no longer engaged, but their interaction was awkward and full of tacit understanding. What's more, a mink fur coat showed Guo Fucheng's tenderness towards Zhang Xiaoyi. Even if the romance between the two was aside, there was blood on Zhang Zhen's hands.
It is to escort Gong Er and take care of the evidence.
Gong Er is his face, and Yixian Tian is his lining. Just as Lao Gui is Lao Gong’s lining, Gong Er is Ip Man’s lining, Ip Man is his face, and Yixian Tian is his lining, there is also a trace of connection between Ip Man and Lao Gui.
This feeling is inside.
"The Grandmaster" is a movie that can truly be called a movie, because in terms of the inner determination of the characters, the creation of the environment and atmosphere, and the detailed display of the fighting scenes, this martial arts film of the Republic of China is filled with a kind of atmosphere.
The poetic mood of film can be called poetic martial arts.
The movie has a bit of escape, a touch of luxury, a touch of poetry, and it rejects daily life experience thousands of miles away. In "The Grandmaster", it was the North Railway Station where Gong Er took revenge, and it was the rainy night when Ip Man showed his talents.
It’s the snow falling all over the sky when Gong Er is delivering his father’s funeral, it’s the glances in the two people’s eyes as they keep intersecting... The beautiful and poetic shots make time stop. What can be seen everywhere in the film is the meticulous display of the times and action details, especially
This is the only kung fu sparring scene between Gong Er and Ip Man that was handled appropriately.
After a fight in the Jinlou, the close-up scene of the two fighting together has been upgraded, which not only stretches out the time, but also delays the emotion.
The essence of a philosopher is to elevate a phenomenon into a concept, and elevate an individual experience into a universal human emotion. In "The Grandmaster", in addition to many people's imagination and understanding of the martial arts world, it conveys what a person must The growth process of the classics - "See yourself, see the world, and see all living beings." In "The Grandmaster", what is said about Wulin is probably "A person can only open his horizons by climbing over a mountain."
"If you never forget, there will be an echo. If you have a breath, light a lamp. If there is a lamp, there will be someone..." This sentence expresses the conception of the martial arts world. At the same time, this movie, to me, is a real filmmaker making a movie.
Therefore, after seeing the injustice that many people have said, it is really hard to watch it just for the sake of the movie, so I leave a comment with my thoughts."
Chapter completed!
