Even if you always want to complain, you should applaud Wong Kar Wai!

This is a complicated movie. Before that, Wong Kar-wai's movies were all pure, those were vague, those were broken into pieces, those long-term vacancies and loneliness were all too overbearing.

In fact, I prefer to regard "The Grandmaster" as a step that Wang Jiawei dared to try. To Qifeng also took this step in 2012, but Wang Jiawei took it more thoroughly. As for whether the step is involved, it depends on the feedback of the masses after the 8th. .

I might as well set up a few awards privately, and give them to those who have dedicated 3 or 4 years of their youth to this movie, whether it is Wong Kar Wai's "1942" or "Youth PI" in the end, it will not harm the hard work of 4 years 's respect.

The Most Courageous Award:

The first third of Wong Kar-wai's film is a typical commercial film structure. The rainy night at the beginning and the "breakthrough game" between Ip Man and several major schools in Foshan made people suspect that Wong Kar-wai has "liberated his nature" ”, and began to make a real commercial film. However, when Zhang Ziyi and Tony Leung sat quietly with each other, the camera moved back and forth, the "Twelve Golden Hairpins" of Yingge Liulu stood on the background, the Western music sounded loudly, and the two "Grandmasters" were stagnant for nearly two minutes, we know that , Wong Kar-wai seemed to have "suddenly awakened" and turned back. However, after Zhao Benshan's golden sentence "the big ass, wear big pants", Xiao Shenyang stared at Zhang Zhen's Northeastern saying "you look like my father", and from time to time he was pulling me out Wong Kar Wai's world.
The most flashy and most criticized parts of the film are all in the last 1/3: the golden sentences frequently appear, and the feelings of improving the realm of life such as "If you never forget, there will be echoes" all come from here, but at the same time of sublimation, the procrastination The constant point of questioning has greatly reduced its value - if a director tries to express his mind through constant verbal annotations and point-pointing, firstly, he is really worried and afraid to distance himself from the audience, and secondly, his creative environment, On the psychological level, there are already more obstacles - the direct result is: in terms of lyricism, it is really "overindulgence". But seeing Wong Kar-wai, who has been stubborn for more than 20 years, has the courage to make such a change after becoming famous, his admiration must be said out loud.

Best Performance Award: Zhang Ziyi

Wong Kar Wai can find Zhang Ziyi's beauty best. In "2046", Zhang Ziyi performed the "dancing girl's tears" to the extreme and won her own Hong Kong Academy Award, but this time, the steps have gone up a little bit. The role of Gong Er is similar to Yu Jiaolong in her famous work. Yu Jiaolong has more fire than Gong Er, and Gong Er has more water than Yu Jiaolong. Zhang Ziyi has completely shaped the multiple dimensions of this character, the stubbornness before revenge, the calmness during revenge, and the humiliation after revenge.
In this play, Zhang Ziyi's performance peak is in the farewell play with Tony Leung: after the thousand sails are over, everything has already been exhausted, and when she is about to cry, she has seen through everything, sighing all her life, borrow a picture The traceless face confided cleanly. This deserves at least one actress nomination.

Most Popular Performance Award: As soon as Zhao Benshan's Xiaoshenyang

master and apprentice came out, the highlight moment of no urine point appeared.

The best standard: Zhang Shuping

's best standard is Mr. Zhang Shuping, Wong Kar Wai + Zhang Shuping = emotional, even the bloated winter clothes are fashionable.

    Wong Kar-wai can't tell good stories, but he can make a good movie, thanks to the help of noble people; this time, Zhang Shuping is the one who should be most thankful for his art and pictures that are a thousand times better than "Thirteen Hairpins"; Song Hye Kyo's passport is also Without being detained, the close-up in the film is so beautiful that all the actresses in the Republic of Korea bow their heads in shame, but the shape always makes me feel like Zhang Yuqi in "White Deer Plain". Zhang Ziyi won the victory elegantly, and Tony Leung had nothing to say.

    Wang Jiawei used his usual skill to make a cup of coffee named Tony Leung, and put a piece of candy named Zhang Ziyi. As a result, the house was filled with the taste of literature and art, and the fragrance was suffocating. Then he turned around and smashed a piece of garlic named Xiao Shenyang with a sledgehammer named Zhao Benshan. This is the so-called second force of literature and art, regardless of family, and the life is very harmonious.
