The film "Hero" is a film directed by Zhang Yimou with Chinese classical charm and heroic spirit. The film tells the story of more than 2,000 years ago, during the Warring States Period, when the world was divided into seven kingdoms, a nameless assassin who lied to kill the most powerful Sanming swordsmen in the world, Canjian, Feixue, and Zhangkong, thus pretending to be a warrior of the Qin state. And the story of intending to assassinate the King of Qin. The film's reproduction function and performance function infiltrate and complement each other, bringing a hearty audio-visual feast to the audience and setting off a huge spiritual storm.
(1) Reproduction
In the film, thousands of arrows are shot in the dark sky, tens of thousands of Qin palace generals who are still standing still, and the majestic buildings stand tall and high, the mighty King of Qin, all of which reproduce the solemnity and grandeur of the largest country, Qin. , coupled with the desolation, tragic, majestic and powerful soundtrack of the strength of the Qin state, no words needed. It is a true representation of historical facts.
Besides. "Heroes" not only reproduces the historical scenes at that time, but also reproduces the righteousness of the world under the turmoil of war. In the story, Prince Brightness almost lost his life. The first time, the broken sword only slightly injured the king of Qin. The second time Wuming chose to stab the king of Qin with the hilt of the sword and let the prince live, showing that he gave up personal hatred for the sake of the world and exchanged his own name for it. Reunification of the world, and peace are typical national justice and true chivalrous love.
(2) Performance
The color in the film is very tense and metaphorical, and it is a means of expression with the director's aesthetic experience and aesthetic cognition. Color creates the rhythm, style, atmosphere, portrays characters, conveys emotions, and even expresses the theme for the film. Red is the color of nameless lies, the color of revenge, the intertwined love between Canjian and Feixue's misunderstanding, and the jealous fire burning like the moon. Blue is the color guessed by King Qin, expressing the scene people most want to see. Blue expresses objectivity and calmness, implying that King Qin's open-mindedness and peace after seeing through lies is the color of the hero in King Qin's heart. Green represents the life Feixue and Canjian yearn for, and their desire to return to their original nature after the war. White expresses truth and praise. It is the tranquility and beauty of Can Jian Fei Xue hugging each other after all the dust has settled. Black is the color of the Qin Dynasty, and loneliness, solemnity and dignity cannot be defeated. Not only that, but the title of the film "Heroes" is given meaning to the performance. The sky, the flying snow, the broken sword, are heroes and they bear the burden. The King of Qin is a hero. He dominates the world. Wuming is also a hero. He gave up assassinating the King of Qin, but instead taught the King of Qin to put the world first, and sacrificed his life to maintain the majesty of the law. Among them, the nameless names are more meaningful. Those who have been remembered since ancient times have always been emperors and generals, and those who are suffering the cruelty and pain of history are nameless, and these "nameless" are also heroes. Humanistic care and reflections on historical ambiguity are vividly displayed.
"Hero" is a splendid ink painting of martial arts, Zhang Yimou's historical reproduction is powerful, and the emotional expression is deep, reaching an extreme of Chinese movies.
