[2015.1.9 3D version]
If "Evil in the East" is a watercolor painting with freehand colors, "The Grandmaster" is a finely crafted oil painting, with a large black background with a gorgeous and low-key luster, there are too many Many details are hidden in the use of light or dark colors.

The word fate
runs through from beginning to end. I thought before that it was Gong Er who was choosing and giving up, choosing to sacrifice the first to achieve the second. He persuaded her to turn around, the housekeeper persuaded her to break her promise, and the martial arts seniors persuaded her not to take revenge. People were all wrong. This is not what she thought. This road goes deep into her blood and beliefs, which is necessary for her. Therefore, Gong Er, the chooser in people's eyes, is just following her destiny. There is no so-called choice, and there is no other way.
If everything she believes in is shattered, then she will have nowhere to stand, and she will have nothing to exist.
So, at the snowy train station, she replied, "You have to wait." In the
end, she retorted, not expecting you to treat me as a play. "My drama, no matter if people cheer it up or not, it can only go on like this." This is not a romantic drama. The heavy fate is overwhelmed, and she has no choice from beginning to end.

In love
, I thought he always lost her, because he had a wife and children, and because she died alone.
However, he wrote the letter. He was really planning to go to the north. He carefully handed over the button that he had left by his side. At the last moment, he persuaded her to turn back. On the day he met her, his future Life changes.
It was she who pushed the button back and said "no pity"; she said "I had you in my heart" until it was too late. It's all so heartwarming and so ordinary. On the opposite side, he said that there was no grudge, his eyes were like a deep pool.
"If there were no regrets in life, it would be so boring." "No regrets."
She regretted it, but he was still the same even though he couldn't understand it. It's impossible to compare who is more affectionate, but in the end, this affection is not wrong.
She finally said, "I haven't finished this road, I hope you can walk it down." In this way, his subsequent blooming and scattered leaves have a kind of tragic romance.

People in the north
and south are tough, while Ye Wen in the south is more at ease and follows the trend.
Gong Er said: "In this life, I can't become a hero like my father every day. But I don't want to live forever, only for a while."
And Ye Wen said: "When I took this step, I thought that one day I will come back again. I never thought it was the last time. From now on, I only have the road ahead, nothing behind me, and no turning back."
Tough ones are easy to break. But in contrast, I am more familiar with Gong Er's philosophy after all, regardless of living in the outdated rules of the past, living in the heavy snow in the northeast of the dream. Here, nothing can ever be changed.
Therefore, there was this line after Gong Er's death before: "The girl said that she has known you for half a lifetime, but in fact you don't know her, she doesn't know you." It's worth pondering.

[2013.1 First Screening Impression]
A lifetime of resentment has become what it is today. This is a phrase that some people used to describe the evil in the east and the poison in the west. And today's generation of masters reminds me of the rivers and lakes I was infatuated with ten years ago, the rivers and lakes full of love, resentment, separation, pomp and loneliness, and there is no lack of chivalrous, righteous, and passionate rivers and lakes. After a long absence, Wong Kar-wai walked into the cinema looking for nothing but an old dream filled with new wine.

No matter how far the North
goes, I know that I have the blood of the North flowing. The vast expanse of land that is so cold and far away makes people emotional. The spirit of the north is vividly displayed here. The endless snowy whiteness sets off Gong Er's graceful and domineering fur, which kills the winter without any vitality, and the character that never leaves any room for change.
So I love Gong Er's black and white eyes and bloodless lips. She used those eyes to see into the world but always chose the most direct solution. She used those lips to scold the so-called old friend of her father without any face. She finally got her revenge and fulfilled her long-cherished wish.
Sometimes I feel that pleasure, kindness and hatred are not a good word, and I often have to pay double the price. Here, Gong Er sacrificed more than just the ruby ​​ring. However, why are we not born to pursue all kinds of things that may not have practical significance for this world, before such a mission, any price can be sacrificed. What is the difference between such a pursuit and a pursuit?
Before she died, she returned to her north again, with white snow falling on her black hair, she was still the little girl who did not care, she was smart and fierce. She chose to stay in her best years.

Jianghu
Gong Er and Ye Wen were walking on the streets of Hong Kong, looking up and seeing the densely packed martial arts hall signs, she sighed, isn't this like martial arts.
In fact, their martial arts have long been lost. It's not that he has never been honored, the martial arts master of that year, the Gong family who has never failed, is not the one who responded with a hundred responses and shocked the Quartet; when Ye Wen became famous at a young age, he was high-spirited, why didn't he think that the spring of life would never end. It's just that everything is fleeting, and the prosperity will decline. Sitting idle talking about the golden building in the past, it is even more embarrassing for today's night rain in a foreign country.
Fortunately, at the moment there are still old people around who can mirror each other. Twenty years later, Fanghun has passed away, and probably all things had to be regarded as an old dream, and the truth could not be distinguished.
I don't know how to fight, but what we are fighting side by side or tit-for-tat is not a separate arena. It is impossible to predict victory or defeat in battle. "It's better to think ahead than to stop." Always fight against the water, only to move forward. However, no matter whether we win or lose, there will probably be a day when the rivers and lakes are not there, and what happened back then was just as illusory as clouds and smoke.

The deep affection and forbearance in Grandmaster
Weizai's eyes are still the same, but the beauties around him have changed several times. His temperament is similar to the imaginary Ye Wen, peaceful and calm, and his hand is everyone's demeanor. There is only a trace of compassion hidden in the corners of his eyes and brows, and he can't catch it if he is not careful. He didn't say much, at most only a few strokes written word by word with a brush. "A covenant is established, and the mountains are unimpeded." Such a promise of gold can never be worth too many unstoppable fates and constraints.
As always, he is a person who knows how to appreciate flowers and pity them, but he is not the one who cherishes flowers. The so-called only rituals also contain a few taels of cold and unfeeling. Gong Er is not Su Lizhen after all, she has the courage and straightforwardness in her bones. So some people think that this ending is not as beautiful as the tree hole in Angkor Wat. In fact, the desolation and tragedy of the two endings are similar, no matter how beautiful the pictures and words are to cover up, they can't help but sigh.
However, "All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence." This sentence is so beautiful that it makes one's heart beat.

The ending
is like an ordinary movie, and it should be played again before the ending. Either the hero defeats the villain, or the light defeats the evil. However, the story, in a gray smoky melancholy, ended. Even it was clever in editing. The last wonderful battle at Fengtian Railway Station was actually ten years ago. I thought that my life is very long, but in reality, my youth is only a moment, and the rest is probably an infinite wait or infinite reminiscence. Until a long time later, when life ends.
The beauty is late, the hero has gray hair. Are these the saddest endings? That era has passed and will not come back, but the unfulfilled things and irreparable regrets in my heart will never have a chance.
Throughout the film, people are constantly taking pictures, trying to keep the good flowers and the good times. However, no matter how futile he was, he couldn't keep a trace of joy in his youth, but it only increased the feeling of being old and sitting alone.


A lifetime of anger has become today, and no one in the world is facing the sunset. Today, I type these words at my home in the East Fourth Ring Road, not in Changping back then. I'm guessing that you probably watched this movie in a movie theater in Hong Kong or somewhere, and remembered our youth. I know that the rivers and lakes have always been in our hearts, and that is a kind of spiritual pursuit.

[Lines]
Life and death, right and wrong, success or failure, honor and disgrace, in fact, one word, me. Only what I put here is real.

In this life, I can't be a hero like my father is every day. But I don't plan for a lifetime, only for a while.
When I took this step, I thought I would be back one day. Unexpectedly, that was the last time. From now on, I only have the road ahead, nothing behind me, and no turning back.

Martial arts have been studied for thousands of years, and things have vanished into thin air. We haven't seen much of it yet, why can't the palace family be eliminated? Mr. Ye, martial arts can't be higher than heaven, and aptitude can't be thicker. Life is impermanent, there is nothing to regret. Take this button back, what we want to see, what we don't see, we will talk about it later. Mr. Ye, on New Year's Eve ten years ago, do you know where I was?

In fact, life is like a play. In the past few years, Mr. Gong has sung literary, opera and martial arts, but he sings well and is full of skills. Unfortunately, I just turned around.
I never thought you would treat me like a play. My play, whether people cheer or not, can only go on like this. I asked you to come out tonight, and I also wanted to talk about what should be said and what to say.
Mr. Gong is going out?
There is an old saying in the north: A man never quits the road, and a tiger never quits the mountain. Over the years, we have all been foreigners. I'm really tired and want to go home. Before leaving, I have something to give you back. Sixty-four hands, I have forgotten. It was my luck that I met you at the best of times. Too bad I don't have time. Thinking about life without regrets, it's all pissed off. Life would be boring without regrets. Mr. Ye, to be honest, I have you in my heart. It's okay for me to tell you this. It's not illegal to like someone, but I can only do it until I like it. I haven't said these words to anyone. I saw you tonight, and I didn't know why. Just let your grievances stay there like a game of chess. take care.
Life is like a chess piece without regrets. There was no grudge between us. Some are just fate. Your father said, if you never forget, there will be echoes, and there will be people when there are lights. I hope that one day, I can see the sixty-four hands of the Gong family again.

A woman, a broken hair is a broken head. In order to avenge the master, she broke her hair and became a Taoist. She didn't marry or spread the arts. She was alone all her life. She really did it. This is the ashes that she had cut off her own head before she made a vow. The girl said that she has known you for half a lifetime, but in fact you don't know her and she doesn't know you. Mr. Ye, there is no one in the palace. I handed the second lady to you.

    I missed Yu Jiaolong, but fortunately I didn't miss Miss Gong Er.

    Zou Jingzhi's writing, Xu Haofeng's martial arts, and Wong Kar Wai's filming were so hard. Ye Wen's boxing lost to Zhou Muyun's ticket, love is hard to buy a beautiful smile. Leave a lamp and look at a few Buddhas, the years of the Republic of China will be wasted. The fate is not over, people are old, and time flies are all melancholy. How can we say goodbye to each other? See you in the cinema, don't miss a good time. Ordinary movie fans cry, literary audiences laugh, and they will reunite after ten years to remember the young man.
