Chapter 43 From "House of Flying Daggers"
"House of Flying Daggers" was released on July 16. My mother and I were as active as when we watched it, and went to see it the next day.Both of them felt that the filming was good, but the storm of abuse still swept over as I expected, but I didn't expect it to be so violent.This storm of madness took me by surprise and was intolerable, so I felt it was my duty to criticize voices that were incorrect and irrational.Some viewers said that the plot of "Ten" is too simple, and you can know the end just by looking at the beginning.If this is the case, I would admire the audience
High IQ.Everything has not been laid out at the beginning of the movie, but it is a miracle how to expect the end.The media is an extremely harmful thing. It dangerously leads the audience's thinking, and eventually cultivates the audience into a machine that has no heart or brain and can only follow the crowd.This phenomenon is extremely terrifying.They will make stars in their own way in front of people. "Entertainment Scene" once said that Zhang Yimou is good at visuals, but he can't tell stories and has no ideological exploration; while Chen Kaige is a pioneer in thought. After comparing the two, the conclusion is that Chen Kaige is slightly better.This is simply nonsense. The person who said this has seen how many films by Zhang Yimou himself? What standards has he passed? Why do you say he can’t tell stories? Starting with "Red Sorghum", "A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju", "Red Lantern "High Hanging", "Ju Dou", which one can't tell a story? Some people probably think it is Zhang's famous work! Their own film knowledge can only allow him to say such reckless words.
Some people say that Zhang Yimou has been pushed to a high level now, and he can't be too high to be too low. I think that's the case with Chen Kaige.Zhang can't, he was born for movies, he is too sensitive and impulsive about movies.He is at ease in the world of movies.Zhang once said in a TV interview that the film he most wants to make now is the theme of the "Cultural Revolution", no problem! He has a lot of options, so go ahead and make it! After the great success, let's take a look at Chen Kaige's works One is more gloomy and intense than the other.But why no one criticizes him, because people don't understand his movies, and they don't pay much attention to him, that is, they regard him as a pioneer of thought and put it there.Zhang Yimou's martial arts is his own, if outsiders use Jin Yong's and Gu Long's martial arts to question him, it will not be appropriate.And this method of questioning by comparison makes no sense.For the current phenomenon, fear is my mood.A country, a city, so many people, regardless of newspapers and magazines, ordinary people, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, have jointly criticized and insulted "House of Flying Daggers" with an extremely irrational attitude. Perhaps it can also be said to be delighted.The most famous skill of the Chinese is to watch and join in the fun. This tradition has been passed down for hundreds of years and continues to this day.But now they are so united, so united in thinking, what kind of strength is it? "House of Flying Daggers" really has so many problems? We need to see what the audience's attitude is? Knife, they are already ready to fight a big battle, and they are irrational at all, because in their minds, even if they have not watched "House of Flying Daggers", there must be infinite mistakes, and they are eager to set off a momentum that is more terrifying than scolding .How easy it is to scold, everyone has their own opinions, but it's so boring! I can still scold, scold, I can say that Malone is not good, the tone is weird, I can say that Clark Gable looks wrong, black actors It looks too dark and doesn't match the scene.But that doesn't stop them from becoming well-deserved classics.But is there any result to this kind of abuse? Is it meaningful? Is it worth it if the momentum is bigger than "House of Flying Daggers" itself?
Let's see what the media has said about the problem.
In their view, the fatal problem is that the clothes Zhang Ziyi wears when she dances are of the wrong age.I also really admire the audience. They have to watch a movie in 2 hours, and they have to concentrate on counting how many problems they find.This is not picking the bone in the egg, but picking the yolk in the egg, and accusing the yolk of why it is yellow.And here I want to express my own point of view, which also involves the standards of many audiences watching movies.I think it doesn't matter whether the clothes worn for dancing are from the Tang Dynasty or not.The important thing is the story. This story can be from the Tang Dynasty, or from the Ming Dynasty, or from any era.Because love and hatred have never been broken throughout the ages, why are you so picky.A world of martial arts needs to be beautiful and rich in imagination, and Zhang Ziyi's clothing is exactly like this.As for the change of seasons, it fits the plot.I don't think it's a big deal, but when I think about it, it's really hard to change the original fighting in the snow to what will happen in the sea of flowers.The world of martial arts is grotesque and full of whimsical ideas. It’s enough for you to watch comfortably and enjoy it. The people in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" fly like that. Don't you say it is illogical. In the classic suspense film "North by Northwest" The famous scene of the plane killing people is also illogical, but because it is exciting, it will be recorded in the history of the film forever. The small problems in other movies are justified. As long as it appears in "House of Flying Daggers", it is an unforgivable crime! I am like this Those who watched "House of Flying Daggers": Such a beautiful martial arts world only belongs to the three people in the play, and all the stories are about them.Nothing else matters.Regardless of who wins and who loses between Feidaomen and the imperial court? The cruel life in the rivers and lakes has changed the three of them, making them very tired.The story refers to the east and you have to ask the west, is there something wrong?
