Like the novels in the silver bracelet style, the most suitable subject is love. Wong Kar-Wai also became famous because of his love films. "Chongqing Forest", "The True Story of A Fei", and "Breakthrough"... are all love themes, and "Evil in the East" is also a martial arts film in the cloak of love, but , Wong Kar Wai's love movie is not an ordinary love movie, but a literary love movie, just like Annie's love story is not Qiong Yao's romance novel, but a literary romance novel.
It is a pity that famous film directors all want more space, just like Feng Xiaogang filming "1942", Zhang Yimou filming "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", they want to prove to all beings: I can have a bigger pattern. Therefore, Wong Kar-wai filmed "The Grand Master", focusing on several masters in the martial arts world, and trying to tell the stories of these masters' lives. Wong Kar-wai was really attentive and hard-working in the filming of "The Grandmaster", and he almost brought the silver bracelet to the extreme. I heard that because of many years of filming, I have accumulated a lot of material. When I finally cut the film, I had to delete many precious scenes. Almost all the stories of the Bajiquan master played by Zhang Zhen were deleted, but Wong Kar Wai was reluctant to delete it. Shots of smoke rings floating in the air even gave close-ups for a few seconds. This kind of situation is quite common in "The Grandmaster". It can be seen that in Director Wong Kar-wai's mind, the important thing is not the story, but the mood! Sentiment! Still flirtatious!
Such a painstakingly managed mood, of course, makes the picture of the film so beautiful, so beautiful that the young and fresh people of literature and art can't wait to get into each lens to take pictures. The lines also maintained Wang Jiawei's consistent level. Tony Leung was a full Wang Jiawei fan when he opened his mouth: Kung Fu is two words, one horizontal and one vertical, only standing is right. Others such as: Saying that life has no regrets is a prank... If there are no regrets in life, how boring it would be... All the encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence... I guess it is enough for literary and artistic youth to quote in various articles. , the music is also nice, just like the music for a group of artistic photos, although it is a Chinese martial arts shoot, but there is also some Western music in the middle, it must be more Western and more Western. The story is also still absent. It's better to delete Zhang Zhen's story entirely, leaving that part really makes people who can't read the movie sad. Liang Chaowei's story is used to elicit Zhang Ziyi, who came out to love Liang Chaowei. The scene that moved me the most in the movie was also the scene where Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi met for the last time. The two of them clearly have a little white rabbit in their hearts, but they want to forget each other in the rivers and lakes. In the end, the two of them walked on the long road at night, and the back view directly made me travel to "In the Mood for Love".
"The Grandmaster" can be said to be the culmination of Wong Kar-wai's past films, but unfortunately, Wong Kar-wai chose the wrong theme this time! He shoots this kind of narrative grand theme, just like Baby Annie is going to write "White Deer Plain". I am sure that Baby Annie will write the taste of the silver bracelet, but the taste of the silver bracelet is obviously not suitable for "White Deer Plain". what!
Back then, I was obsessed with Baby Anne, and in the year when I was obsessed with Baby Anne, I also fell in love with Wong Kar Wai's movies. But now I've changed from a loli to a mature woman, and my taste has changed. If I saw the little white snowflakes falling on Zhang Ziyi's black fur back then, I would have been shocked, but now, I can only think: how is it like dandruff!
Finally, I sincerely recommend "The Grandmaster" to young literary and artistic young people and all Wang Jiawei's brain-dead fans.
ps: The above perceptions are all from the first viewing of "The Grand Master". Many people say that the movie has connotations, but many of these people have watched it at least twice, and then came to the conclusion after learning about the martial arts background. To see the movie, it is necessary to accompany the "Detailed Explanation of a Generation of Grandmasters" to understand the mystery of the movie, which is really too demanding for the audience. What's more, no matter how much connotation "The Grandmaster" has, it can't change the shortcomings of the film's narrative. Even if it is Wong Kar-wai's style to dilute the narrative, this time his style is not suitable for "The Grandmaster", just like using the impressionist painting method to create. "The Tracker on the Volga", how can there be no realistic painting method that is more direct to people's hearts.
