"Historical Records · Biography of Su Qin" records: In 320 BC, Su Qin told King Yan a story of "being born in the tail". According to legend, there was a man named Oyu who met a beautiful girl under the bridge. But the girl didn't come. In order not to miss the appointment, Mei Sheng died under the bridge when he held a pillar on the bridge. According to "Xi'an House Records", this bridge is called "Blue Bridge" on Lanyu Water in Lantian County, Shaanxi.
Since then, people have called the love of one man and woman lost their appointment, and the death of the other party is called "The Blue Bridge of Soul Broken"
. The movie is just narrated with a very old-fashioned plot, and it doesn’t come to life as touching as in the legend, and there is not even a big disturbance in my heart. Then I watched the movie a few days ago, and after watching it twice, I still feel that There are no tears. After a few days after the movie, I found out the time when the film was broadcast in China on the Internet. Baidu Baike said it was broadcast in China in November of the same year in 1940, but I will go to each post. The search above was introduced as an internal reference film at the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976. It was translated by Shanghai Film Translation Studio, translated by Liu Xueting, directed by Wu Jingwei, and Liu Guangning and Qiao Zhen dubbing Mary Roy. At the time, it was said to be a reference for the production of model dramas. In fact, It’s just for the Gang of Four. After the Cultural Revolution, "Broken Blue Bridge" was released nationwide in the early 1980s, and Chinese audiences were finally blessed to enjoy this classic Hollywood film. The film was warmly welcomed and highly praised, and it was released only once nationwide. It is really unsatisfactory. At the appeal of movie fans across the country, "Broken Blue Bridge" was released on a large scale in the country for the second time in the late 1980s and early 1990s along with other translations. Later, with the trend of the theater business model Flexible "Broken Blue Bridge" is shown in certain cities almost every year. Later, I thought about it in private before preparing to write a film
review of this work. So far, let me explain why I would say that he is a magnificent tragedy. Obscenity.
The topic is divided into two aspects: tragedy and obscenity.
Tragic
most people should know that this is a tragedy and so on through the title of the film or other aspects, but I personally want to learn from this film To analyze the tragic nature of this film.
I also found a lot of results about the theme song of Soul Broken Blue Bridge on the Internet, and all the results showed that "friendship lasts forever". Maybe many people will have the same doubts as me. In such a poignant love film, Why use a song that seems to eulogize friendship like "Friendship Forever"? The director took another meaning of the song, which is to say goodbye to friends and nostalgia for the good old days, so it was also named "I wish you a safe journey" or "The good times in the past".
According to statistics, the song Friendship for a Long Time appeared in Pi and the film 7 times, respectively. They were
1. Roy invited Mara to dinner at the Candlelight Club for the first time. During the dinner, Roy confided to Mara. At this time, the master of ceremonies announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, let’s play the last piece of the party, and now I invite you to dance "Safe Trip"
2. After the meal, Roy sent Mara home and told her to go with the troops. On the front line, the two met and communicated.
3. The third time I heard the theme song, it was at Waterloo Station. On the eve of the wedding, Roy’s troops were ordered to leave early. Mara went to the station to see off. But because she did not rent a car Roy again said the wrong station. When Mara arrived at the station, the train was already moving.
4. At the family dance, Roy's uncle told Mara about the concept of troops and nobles, and asked her to see the signs of the troops. He said that Mara was loyal and beautiful, and she was a nobleman, except for her. This made Mara very uneasy.
5. On the eve of the wedding, Roy, who did not know the old truth, gave the auspicious symbol of peace to her. She kept it. Mara left a letter and left quietly. When Mara’s letter was featured on the camera, the music of "I wish you peace all the way" came.
6. When Mara committed suicide on the Waterloo Bridge, her hand bag and scattered on the ground ..... lucky charm
when the ivory lucky charms greets, movie theme song << >> I wish you all the way to put down once again sounded
the end of the film 7, years later, life is not married Roy, after the war He has been promoted to colonel. On the Waterloo Bridge, looking at the auspicious charms in his hand, painfully recalling the past. Accompanied by the familiar song "I wish you a safe journey."
But after watching several times later, I personally feel that the song "Swan Lake" originally composed by Tchaikovsky has further confirmed the tragic theme of Broken Blue Bridge. If you use perfume as a metaphor, "Friendship lasts forever." "Swan Lake" is the first tone of the whole film, "Swan Lake" is the keynote of this film. No one on the Internet has counted the number of times "Swan Lake" has appeared in the film. Later, I watched another film again and counted So, "Swan Lake" also appeared in the film 7 times by coincidence. They are:
The first song encountered at the beginning of the film is "Swan Lake Overture".
When Roy and Mara are eating in the candlelight restaurant, the background music at this time is "Swan Lake".
When Mara goes to the train station to see off Roy, when turning back.
When Mara and Roy’s mother who had come from afar met in a restaurant, Mara sat alone in the restaurant and waited.
When Mara and Roy were hugging after they accidentally met at the train station a few years later,
when Mara and Roy returned. Home, dancing at Roy’s house, jumping to the outdoor balcony, when Roy asked Mara if he was happy, satisfied, hesitant, and whether he would marry him.
When the film is about to end, Roy and Kitty go to Mara, and Kitty advises Roy to go to WaterLOO STATION to find Mara.
A careful analysis of the positions and order of appearance of "Swan Lake" and "Everlasting Friendship", it is not difficult to find that the appearance of these two songs can be described as closely connected many times. If the Everlasting Friendship is regarded as a tragedy If hope, then Swan Lake is doomed in tragedy.
PS: Swan Lake (Russian: Лебединое Озеро) was originally based on Tchaikovs’ ballet for the Moscow Imperial Opera between 1875 and 1876. The original author of the script is no longer available, and its inspiration may come from a 1786 publication. A story in the fairy tale collection "German Folk Fairy Tales" is called "The Enchanted Veil" by Carl Augustus Messes. It mentioned that there is a swan pond not far from the German city of Zwickau. There is a legend about the swan girl. When the mage casts a spell on the feathers of the swan, the swan will become a girl, and this theme is used in many It has also appeared in other fairy tales. Especially the poor princess, only the love of a prince can save her, but the tragic ending is the first creation of Mses, and it has never appeared in other fairy tales before.
In the first act, Prince Siegfried (Зигфрид) was on the eve of his birthday, and his mother told him that Siegfried, an adult, would choose a bride the next day. In the evening, the prince went to Swan Lake to hunt swans.
In the second act, Siegfried meets the princess Ogetta (Одета) cursed by Rothbart (Ротбарт). She is a swan during the day but turns into a girl at night, only when a man sincerely falls in love She was saved when she was, and Siegfried invited her to come to the dance the next night and would express to her mother that she was willing to marry Odette as his wife.
In the third act, princesses and envoys from various countries all come to Siegfried’s birthday party. Rothbart also came with his daughter, Одилия (Одилия). Augilia showed the image of Odette, just dressed in black. Siegfried was confused and concluded a marriage contract with her. When Siegfried realized all this, he was shocked and rushed to Swan Lake immediately.
In the fourth act, the prince asked Odette for forgiveness, and Odette also forgave him. At this time Rothbart used magic to roll up the waves and drown Siegfried. Odette jumped into the lake to save him. According to the director’s arrangement, the ending is different: or both pass away and form a tragic ending.
Like the first song that jumped into the audience’s ears at the beginning of the film is Swan Lake, such a tragic song just hints at the whole thing. Is the tragic tone of the film and the tragic ending of the hero and heroine?
When the film enters when Roy invites Mara to eat at the Candlelight Restaurant, the dialogue between Roy and Mara is like this:
L: You know what you look like after we broke up. Is he beautiful or ugly? To be honest, I really can’t remember, I have to rush to the theater to see what you look like,
M: I won’t forget it now.
L: I don’t think so, no, I will never forget
that the background music at this time is a swan for the rest of my life. Lake, then they got up and danced. The background music became a long-lasting friendship until the candles were extinguished. I don’t know what the candle extinguishing meant to express. It may be just a special aftertaste performance in the candlelight restaurant. The gloomy tragedy hinting at the fate of the mission foreshadowed.
Later, after Mara went to the train station to bid farewell to Roy, the long and long-lasting friendship suddenly turned into a low-pitched and sad Swan Lake. Does this imply the tragic nature of the entire film and the characters?
When the screen turns to the dance party after Roy takes Mara home, most people may be concerned about the long-lasting friendship when dancing at the ball, but how many people notice when Roy and Mara dance outside On the balcony, Roy asked Mara if she was happy, satisfied, still hesitant, and whether she was willing to marry him. With Mara’s voice, I would think of the sad Swan Lake? PS: At this time, Roy was not excited and happy, but instead asked Mara, why did you have fear in your eyes when you answered?
And when Mara rushed to the front of the car, KITTY suggested to look for it at WATERLOO STATION. What about Roy's eyes change and the sound of the background music Swan Lake?
Can you understand it this way? When the plot of the film is developing, the Swan Lake that has appeared many times, or in other words, the Swan Lake that has appeared in Friendship for a long time, all prove that this film is a thorough What about the tragedy?
In fact, there are many aspects of the tragic nature of the film can be seen, for example, from the character of the characters, such as Mara’s kindness, beauty and honesty, and the tenacious personality that is unwilling to give in to lies, as well as Roy’s positive divergence. What about the tender, careless, and wishful character who doesn’t analyze why Mara said these words and only cares about her own thoughts? There are also many coincidences in the development of the plot, such as Mara’s performance, but Roy has to go to the front line, and the marriage between them has to find the consent of this and that person. He refused to hold a wedding for them for reasons of disallowance, and suddenly rushed to the front the next day, and Mara and Roy’s mother met in front of him, and accidentally saw the news of Roy’s death in the newspaper? Does this coincidence prove anything? I will not give examples one by one here. Of course, there are also many people analyzing on the Internet.
Obscenity
Why do I say this is a delusional, first look at Baidu Encyclopedia for obscenity explanation:
the so-called "obscenity" is literary "Love", "kinky" on the theater scene. This kind of "emotion" and "kindness" is the "infatuation" and "kind of affection" in the literary career, and it reflects the spiritual realm of the author, not the physical activity; this kind of "obscene" works, of course It is welcomed by the small people in the market and the boudoir red house, but at the same time it will inevitably conflict with the orthodox feudal orthodox ethics of Cheng Zhu's "Confucianism" and Wang Lu's "Xinxue".
Obscenity is a neutral word, which to a large extent shows people's psychological pleasure and pursuit of things they can't ask for. Just associating it with sex is biased. To a certain extent, obscenity is the result of a collision of ideas and an existence that stimulates potential.
Of course, I’m not talking about the author’s obscenity here. As the teacher said before, this film can only be called a text, not a work. The real work needs to be completed by ours. , And this film completely met the needs of Chinese people in society at that time. With reference to the time when the film in the introduction was released in mainland China and the historical background of the Chinese society at that time, I felt that this Words can better express the thoughts in my heart.
"Broken Blue Bridge" premiered in the United States in 1940. In November of the same year, the film landed in China, and the response was extremely enthusiastic, far surpassing the popularity of it in the local area, and soon set off a wave of "Broken Blue Bridge". At that time, domestic movie theaters advertised the movie in newspapers, and put up a slogan like this: "The Mountain League pledges to each other and the jade is haggard, and the moon is missing and the flowers are dying forever!" Just a few months later, the Yue Opera first appeared on the Shanghai stage. The "Soul Broken Blue Bridge" version, and soon the Shanghai TV drama version of "Soul Broken Blue Bridge" also appeared on the stage, until the Chinese version of the movie "Soul Broken Blue Bridge" was subsequently put on the screen. So far, this film is not a classic film in the United States, but in China it can touch hundreds of millions of movie viewers in two or three generations, so that it has aroused the amazement and curiosity of foreign scholars. It is called a unique "Chinese phenomenon". . In the research of domestic scholars in China, some people think that Mara and Roy in the film are a typical combination of beautiful women and talents, and Mara’s understanding of chastity and the concept of family status in Western society are in a certain degree with China. The audience's ideas and value orientation coincide.
The Chinese can accept "The Soul Broken Blue Bridge" because of the talent and beauty dramas of the old age in China, and most of the beauties are prostitutes. Some are from good backgrounds, well-knowledgeable, and forced to enter the brothel for life. The plot of Mara being a prostitute in this film is handled very cleverly, and it is completely guessed by the audience. This made the Chinese audience very satisfied. The identity of the heroine in the talented scholar and beautiful actress drama is only a little bit of advice, and it is not publicized.
The above bold fonts can express part of my personal views on the film. For the concept of consummation and fate marriage, everyone will yearn for it, and the traditional Chinese are even more so, but whether it is Mara and Mara in the film Roy is still Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng in The Romance of the West Chamber, and the "Slim Lady" in "The Book of Songs·Guanju". The word appeared in the song of Li Yannian in the Han Dynasty, "There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. Take care of Qingrencheng, and then take care of Qingren's country. ...' But literary works are literary works after all, and films are films after all. In reality, what about the experience of more ordinary people like us?
Can people in a socialist society with Chinese characteristics not yet able to escape the persuasion of the three aunts and six wives, the matchmaker with a big mole on the face of the village, come to propose marriage, or the so-called economic base determines the superstructure of the right marriage? The answer must be clear, but it is precisely because of the huge conflicts between reality and ideals of this kind that those Chinese who are about to jump to this besieged city or are about to enter this besieged city are wondering if I am from this movie or novel. What will the protagonist be?
Put yourself in your place and think about it, tragedy is not more than comedy, tragedy is often more than comedy to allow people to enter the atmosphere of this entire tragedy, empathy, whether we will meet such a Roy, whether I am such a Mara, whether Will it fall in love at first sight? Will I meet an enlightened uncle like the duke? Will I not need to estimate the stubborn ethics and customs in the entire society at that time, but only after a few meetings, I am willing to decide to spend my entire life. To get to know each other? Of course it cannot be said to be 100% negative, but it will never be low.
If this can be worthy of countless people's lust and fantasies, if God really gave people such an opportunity at that time, would they be willing to do it? ! This is what I think is really worth thinking about. Even if we put it in the current society, we should reflect on this issue and ask ourselves. If it was me, I would not have the courage to be so determined as Mara to meet. A person I met several times struggled for such an uncertain future and endured so many years of humiliation. The dream of adultery or chrysalis that people have worked hard to weave, and the shock that is broken by their own hands, is more shocking than adultery itself, and it can make the people of the time break through their bottom line and cry. It is this film that fits the sentiments of the Chinese people so much that it has caused such a big response in China.
On the other hand, our surrounding classmates think about this film, but the answers they get are quite different from the 9-star films on the Internet. Of course, it may also be the tears earned by the various bubble dramas of modern society’s dog-blood Korean dramas. Therefore, I personally feel that if this film is put into the social background of the time, it is not difficult to understand why it can make tears so that it satisfies people’s inner ideals and contradictions in reality as well as inner emotional needs. What I said, I felt that my use of the word obscenity was also reluctant to say in the past.
In the end, the title of the film review was set as a magnificent obsession with tragedy.
