Great master of the East and West Debate

Duo days ago, I turned wooden heart to write a poem on the micro-blog, called "Jackson Heights."
"
Days of bright light shines
all the way all the way to the shade of
dull evening
red-breasted birds on a wire Bird Ming
sky darkened Shu Qi
that is slowly, very slowly
green leaves White House between Cong
sunset light shot glass
lawn wet, also When sprinkling
blue and purple iris flowers blindly dreaming,
they all meet in the dark, and they are
clear and gentle under the dark. I
don’t know what to forgive.
Sincerely, the world can be forgiven
/Mu Xin.
”
When I forwarded it, I commented: "The state of mind is not only picked up after fame and benefit. You can escape into a realm between watching a tree, a tree, a bird, and a rock. This is what the Chinese people today have lost."
Actually, I only said half of this sentence.
As the old Chinese saying goes, it's not a gentleman who cares about gains and losses.
But the old Chinese saying goes that if you have grudges, you don't avenge non-gentlemen.
In this way, carelessness or negligence will result in a bad reputation. This is the so-called "heart-punishing" technique that we have circulated for a long time.
As an aspect of online reviews, the comments on the movie "The Grand Master" on Weibo can be said to be bipolar. Those who say good are praised as Xia Chaiyue, and those who say bad are dismissed as mud. I am here, whether in a hurry, whether to say or not, it seems that I don't have a good reputation.
Here, I decided to speak. This is the other half.

Gong Er, played by Zhang Ziyi, seems to have fallen into such a dilemma in the movie. If according to my father’s brother's words of humiliation, who turned his face faster than the book, killing my brother would leave the notoriety of killing each other by the palace family. But according to what his father said before his death, without asking for gratitude, it would be difficult for Gong Er to obey.
Gong Er has always been a "disobedient" person. When the old father decided to give way to the young Ye Wen, in order to preserve the imperfect family history of the palace, he came up with an eclectic and decent way to compare ideas. However, Gong Er saw all this in his eyes, but was reborn with anger.
To be long-term, one must know how to compromise, know how to compromise, and understand the world. However, the arrogant Gong Er always believes that the momentary victory and appearance are more worth fighting for. The private martial arts game competes with Ye Wen, who has just become a master. .
Ye Wen set the rules, if this "Golden Tower" had something damaged after the competition, it would be regarded as a loss. It was this contest that made Ye Wen and Gong Er plant a feeling of affection. Ye Wen had to attack and protect Gong Er, not only to make her defeat, but also to keep the golden building intact. The words "wu" and "dance" are homophonic. The scene of Ye Wen and Gong Er's cross-stroke is as pleasing to the eye as if they danced together. One punch and one kick turned into a broken connection between push and pull. In the slow motion, many light movements, passing by one at a time, breathe each other, and love is born.
Gong Er likes Shang Ye Wen, it's as natural as going with the water.
Gong Er is young and vigorous, seeking victory but not perfection, while Ye Wen is a modest gentleman who is at ease even if he is against everyone. Before he was forty years old, he had no worries about food and clothing. Not only could he win, but he could also seek perfection. This was the perfect state in Gong Er's eyes. In the contest between the two of them, I don’t know if it was because of protecting the Golden Tower, or loving Gong Er, or both. Ye Wen even stretched out his hand to squeeze her when Gong Er plunged down the stairs. The wrist pulls her in—this pull seems to have taken her soul away, and still remembers it after the parting.

After this, two people live two lives.
Gong Er returned to the northeast, and Ye Wen stayed in Guangdong.
Life in the Northeast is a blue lake, cold white snow in the forest, and the same cold white plum blossoms piled with snow. Here is a cold and terrible person, and the background sound of life seems to be only the sound of wind.
Life in Guangdong is exquisite pavilions, dark wooden floor furniture and table lamps, and the fine southern sounds of Cantonese operas wafting everywhere, so exquisite and even corrupt.
Ye Wen and Gong Er exchanged letters. They had decided to meet, but they separated the two places because of the war. In fact, the so-called crushing of individuals by the big time is nothing more than this.
For the meeting between the two, Ye Wen ordered a mink fur coat, which was transferred to his wife after it was difficult to meet. When he was displaced during the war, he did not forget to take off a button while pawning his coat and keep it as a memory. A feeling is probably something that is difficult to deprive of no matter how great the war is, no matter how chaotic the times are.
4 US perception of
a; "big"
house two minds represents the perfect Ip Man, forty years old, under the war, there was also met this alpine life, let alone his own palace two. If you are young and have never seen the world, you will blindly seek "big".
Without seeing the world, without understanding life, without returning to the blood, filmmakers will painstakingly pursue the big picture in Western cinema. The big scene, the big hero, the big guns, the big machine.
And Wong Kar-wai chose to be small. The small restaurant, the small hall, and the cramped environment squeezed the emotions between people more clearly. It is anger or joy, fight or peace, and no ambiguity.
Therefore, to watch this movie, you need a state of mind, from beginning to end to be completely involved in this "small" state of mind. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, Chinese aesthetics has always focused on the small.
After seeing the fat western body, I will only think of the oriental exquisite figure, graceful waist, tender white ankles, and fingers holding cigarettes. Even the female lead actress Zhang Ziyi, the most beautiful eyes are not scary and uncoordinated, but small, appropriate, and charming. These are what Wong Kar-wai wants to present, emphasizing small oriental aesthetics.
After watching the final battle in Western movies until the dead, we are too focused on strength and quantity, and the bloody bullets of the guns are the only way to live happily. In this movie, there is a point-to-point "fight". ".
Is it true that Ip Man and Mrs. Gong are in a play?
Did Ye Wen and Ding Lianshan fight the fire and light the cigarette again?
Only when we watched two dramatic scenes, as happy as the bloodshed scenes, did we understand the debate about the size of the head.
When we see a piece of cake, a button, and a cigarette, and understand that the strong emotion and meaning it envelops is no different from a grand scene, we only understand the debate about its size.
2. "Fast"
Western movies tend to use fast-editing and fast-paced shots when expressing gunfights. It is understandable that domestic martial arts films also blindly use fast to express martial arts, so this movie uses those slow motions with proper length ratios. The performance of martial arts moves makes people shine, but at the same time they have to be impressed.
Several scenes have slow motion performance of subtle things. At the beginning of the play, the lens is condensed on the raindrops from the brim of the hat; at the end of the play, the focus is on the fluff of the clothes that was scraped into the air by the knife; throughout the film is a close-up of the footsteps during the competition-this footstep has been splashed. The rain has also raised snow.
In the slow motion, every punch and leg movement is no longer a simple conditional firing and blood qi. After the subtle expressions are connected, it seems to bring emotions to flow. Therefore, in the final battle between Gong Er and Ma San, it was hatred and regret, determination and sorrow in the eyes, subordinates, and fingertips. That's why Ye Wen only sought to be able to compete with 64 hands again and again-all because of the exchange of human feelings that was placed in the kung fu competition. Favor is the slowness, the slowness of the "Biography of the Wild Goose", the slowness of the "ten years of life and death", the slowness of Ye Wen holding a button for two years, and the ashes of Gong Er's haircut. It was too slow to hand it over to Ye Wen after he passed.
When Gong Er met Ye Wen for the last time before her death, she said that she used to learn acting, and if she didn't practice martial arts, she might be a corner on stage now. Ye Man replied that in recent years, she has actually turned wen opera into martial arts. And Wong Kar-wai, this time making martial arts films, why not try to make martial arts into literary drama? Seeing this point clearly, it is clear that the last thing this film wants to talk about is not martial arts, but emotion.
5.
A kind of affection is the twin of love and hate. Gong Er Lie had a fierce love for the Gong family, so he also had a fierce hatred of Ma San Lie. Back then, she would arrogantly compete with Ye Wen out of love, and in the end she would avenge her father out of hatred. This is the fate of the character, and the irreversible fate produces tragedy.
Ma San understood the deep meaning of Master Gong telling him to look back, but he couldn't look back after all. Gong Er’s strong emotions can’t be turned back either. In order to get revenge, she will not hesitate to set up a drug vow, not pass on art, not marry, or leave behind. Since then, I am alone in the world. She has difficulty facing the third stage of martial arts, which is facing all beings. She entrusted the "legacy" to Ye Wen, and Ye Wen finally turned his head: He put on a suit and led a new life. He opened the martial arts gym and taught boxing to face all beings.
The trailer leaves Wen smoking a cigarette. He sits in the corner, swallowing clouds and fog in the gorgeous light and shadow-many people think this is just a beautiful shot of Wong Kar-wai's style, but it is not. Because Ye Wen didn't smoke before, and the first time he took that cigarette was after meeting Ding Lianshan. A cigarette is actually a person's life. This life was originally thought that Gong Er seized Ma San. In fact, Gong Er did take her own. Smoke, for Ye Wen, didn't have such a heavy weight in the past. He smoked a cigarette, but it was difficult for him to get away from Gong Er's frustration.
A kind of love is the choice between life and death. Choosing to live or choose to die, this ultimate proposition, since Shakespeare’s mouth, has revealed the long-standing troubles of generations of celebrities and knights.
In this movie, the great era of the fate of Gong Er and Ip Wen is a semi-colonial China. The war is raging and the Japanese invaders are rampant. Do you choose to die—like Ye Wen’s friends one after another, or to live?
In the film's understatement, Gong Er and Ye Wen seem to have nothing to do with this history of Japanese invasion, but in fact they have made major decisions about life and death. The palace family clearly expelled the traitor Ma San from the house, and his grace was cut off. The master Gong took a life, and Gong Er made a vow of revenge, and the palace family finally destroyed the family for this reason.
Kung Fu went horizontally and vertically, it was the Gong family that fell, and the Ye family that stood.
Ip Man also gave up the road to get rich from colluding with the Japanese. As a rich kid who had no worries about food and clothing before the age of forty, he even chose to take the leftovers home, because choosing a child requires long-term considerations and endurance of humiliation. Sophisticated.
In the past I cried bitterly for the salvation of Western religions, true or false, but now I mourn for the inheritance of the oriental religion's incense lamp.
The last section of the film shows the lights of the ancestral temple. And I finally penetrated it.
