In an era when Hollywood blockbusters have not been surging to increase our requirements for visual aesthetics, for me, martial arts is almost the ultimate form of film expression. At the age of twelve, I was short, wearing glasses and carrying an eight-kilogram schoolbag. They all feel exhausted. When they see a girl they like, they will panic and tie their tongues. When they go to the toilet, they will be laughed at by those classmates who have developed a step earlier. However, on the way home from school, I often fantasize about the pubic hair that I don’t know when it will flourish, and the rivers and lakes that I thought existed in the past, and that almost everyone is omnipotent. Many years later, I learned that the person who showed such a real and harsh Jianghu on TV and in open-air cinemas was called Tsui Hark.
In the past, under the banyan tree in the City God Temple, on the 19th day of the second lunar month, there would be an open-air movie on Guanyin's birthday. There is also the Pei Xian Palace not far from the Drum Tower Ruins Park. At night, I moved out of the wooden stool at home and squeezed into the narrow alley to watch Tsui Hark's "Once Upon a Time". There is no such scenery in the city now, and there are no children who curiously spy on the secrets of the images on both sides of a screen. , and the images related to martial arts are mostly obtained from my parents staring at a 14-inch color TV in a simple wooden shed on the second floor of the factory. When I could see the martial arts I wanted to see on TV, it was called a martial arts movie at that time.
The world is simple, I can ask my father if this person is a bad person, and this person is a good person. Then the movie will always give the exact answer, and at that age, you won't understand the so-called "heroes in the world come out of my generation, as soon as you enter the arena, the years will remind you that you will be drunk in your life when you are talking and laughing." Good people kill bad people, the world is peaceful. The world of martial arts may have only taught me one law. Before I understood that this law does not apply to this complex society, I never grew up. The law of martial arts is that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and there will be gods when you raise your head. The protagonist in a martial arts drama must have several girls who like him, and he must only like one girl. The big villain is exhausted, and in the end it will inevitably fail. We will not investigate why the villain is the villain, and the hero is always handsome. Chic, Yushu Linfeng, I once thought that handsome people will not do bad things, the world must be what I see, there is no other complicated existence.
Later, I moved to where I live now. At most, six people lived in a house of more than 60 square meters, one for my parents, one for my grandparents, and one for my grandmother. I didn't dare to see it very late, my mother would come out, hunched over, squinted and pointed at me, with the tone of a spy in the rivers and lakes reporting the news, go to bed early! We have class tomorrow!
Just in the stuffy living room, through the floating mosquito nets blown by the electric fan, I was half lying on the bed and finished watching "New Dragon Inn". It's like having a holiday, or winning a lottery. No matter how many times I've watched this film, it's always fresh. Perhaps, this habit of watching films repeatedly has continued to this day.
I can forget Zhou Huai'an in the Dragon Inn, and I can forget Qiu Moyan, but I can't forget Jin Xiangyu, the splendid proprietress. At that time, I was only twelve years old, and I didn't understand much of her dialogue in it, and the plot of Qiu Moyan and Jin Xiangyu's fight in the bathroom was mixed with the chaotic daily life. The boundless fantasy of the opposite sex fell into my heart In the dream, I woke up suddenly at five in the morning, accompanied by uncontrollable pleasure, the stall was sticky and wet.
In this world of martial arts, how can one find another gold inlaid jade?
Now, the 14-inch TV has become IMAX3D, and the experience through the mosquito net has become a group of red, blue and green women holding Coke popcorn and wearing 3D glasses to spy on Tsui Hark's arena. Tsui Hark's martial arts have not fallen out in the years when I developed the habit of going to the cinema to watch movies. I still like his "Seven Swords", maybe not so much "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", and "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate" , but it is the best movie with a clear Tsui Hark brand in my opinion in the past ten years, even if the romantic Zhou Huai'an becomes the chivalrous Zhao Huai'an, and the gold inlaid jade that I never forget has become a deeply affectionate one. Ling Yanqiu.
In the scene of the iron lock Hengjiang, I feel that the image of martial arts in my heart is so truly imprinted in front of my eyes, and the real society that I have experienced is tiring and needs to be handled with care is more like an experience that I have to experience. A real nightmare, in such a scene, you will forget all these increasingly helpless lives, even if it is only a second of forgetting, it will greatly relax the spirit, such a feeling is indescribable, but it is connected with this. Bits and pieces of martial arts dreams in past life.
Maybe not every boy has dreams related to martial arts, just like not everyone will stand up when others need help and do what they think is right, and the past I look for in this movie is always With a little regret, it's like attending a long-lost class reunion, but the girl sitting in the back row that I once had a crush on didn't come.
Today, many years later, I still remember Jin Xiangyu's neat and tidy sentence, setting fire to this ruthless place! Three years ago, Jin Xiangyu looked for Zhou Huai'an, maybe just to scold him, he wanted to run away after getting married with his mother? But now, it is not as good as the burning of the past. For me now, for those emotions that are constantly involved, I still think the same way.
