The 77th Academy Awards are over.
I would be surprised if "House of Flying Daggers" took home the little golden man.
Except for the really wonderful part of the Peony Room dance, there is nothing special about it.
The picture is beautiful enough. It's too beautiful to be a film language, it looks monotonous and deliberate. Not full enough, lack of tension.
In fact, Zhang Yimou was a bit deliberate from the beginning to make a movie, and then it became more and more intense.
too confident. Don't you know that Lao Mei is no longer as curious as she was when she watched "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Laomouzi does have a talent and a charm that comes from his talent. But he might as well do art for some director, or make short commercials for some TV programs and hosts, and he will definitely shine.

"A World Without Thieves" is a bit patient to watch. A friend who was far away in Beijing also specially recommended it, saying that it must be watched. But I wasn't impressed because it was fake. Called him a cold-blooded animal.

In fact, all I have always believed are those things that most people think are fake. Like a big friend of Cheng Cheng's when she was a student, she commented that "you often use some unreal things to enrich yourself." I was shocked that he was talking about me.
Maybe the reality is too frustrating and discouraging, and I prefer to watch long martial arts dramas. It has nothing to do with reality, and you can't see all the ugliness in reality.
I like the chivalrous spirit in it, which is as awe-inspiring as "the thief is also right".

But this time, I couldn't be moved because "A World Without Thieves" is fake.
They were tired of playing another more exciting game, and they only missed because they changed the rules of the game.
Andy didn't know he would die when he played. Otherwise, stop playing.
In "Titanic", Jack promised to die.

I really want to see those Shanghai past events that Chen Yifei took a long time ago. Such a beautiful picture, it seems that there is not much plot. Chen also doesn't call the things in the camera a movie, but it makes people remember.
Movies don't necessarily have to use a strong plot to catch people. "The Years of Love", "Out of Africa" ​​and "In the Mood for Love" did it.
"House of Flying Daggers" is like an ink painting. Although it is thick and colorful, it still smears and disappears when it is thrown into the water. Only a few drums left.

Zhang Yimou doesn't have to hang on his face either.
The Academy Awards are not a ruler. It's just a big show for movies and some other industries.

    Who do you choose between the person who waits for you for three years and the person who accompanies you for three days? This film is really in line with the standard of a love action film, except for love, there is really nothing left. The masterpiece of Zhang Yimou's blockbuster era, with a strong sense of form, strong stage effects, excellent location, impeccable music and costume photography, but the story is really rotten to the root, and because of the previous success of "Hero", Zhang Yimou was overly superstitious about the role of computer stunts. .

    Rewatching it, I still remember the whole family watching it together in the living room when I was a child, and seeing half of them being locked in the house, today I finally watched the bed scene in front of my dad. The script is written after watching "Infernal Affairs" and "Titanic". The theme of "What is true love?" The poster posted in the house immediately felt that I understood the heart of the national teacher well). In fact, like "Hero", it is the precursor to the "Blade Runner 2049"-style grand externalized inner drama in the A-level production. The basic narrative logic is not a problem, but the lines and Andy Lau have become fatal injuries. The rhythm is due to the return to linear narrative. , on the contrary, it further exposed the sense of beading that the scene preceded. The sound level is ambitious and attentive. The understanding and attention to sex will not be vulgar than "Red Sorghum", but the intuitive presentation (maybe "Westernization" at the time) is doomed to be dangerous in the context of Chinese audiences, markets, and comments in 2004. Comment area The wording of "three-level film" left in here is evident.
