The story of "Sword Rain" is very simple. In a word, it is "a bloody case caused by a skeleton". The reason why a skeleton that has been dried for hundreds of years can cause blood and rain in the rivers and lakes is not because it is the remains of Diaochan or Xi Shi, but it just so happens that the people in the martial arts in the story have suffered from necrophilia. It is because it is the remains of a monk named Rama a long time ago. It has the dual functions of Tang monk meat and Yitian sword. It not only allows people to learn peerless martial arts, but also cures all diseases. Fragrant, great body, long life. In order to obtain such a rare treasure, countless people in the rivers and lakes can be said to have done their best to do bad things. One of the biggest conspirators is Wang Xueqi, who is the leader of the Black Stone Organization. In Gu Long's novels, there are often some amazing organizations in the arena, and the boss of this organization usually has an amazing secret that he doesn't know. For example, Gong Jiu of Feng Wu Jiutian is a masochist, and Gong Ziyu is actually a dying man. Bad old man, Shi Guanyin is a narcissist, Jellyfish Yinji is an old maid, Xiaoyaohou is a deformed child and so on. Similarly, the wheel-runner king in "Jianyu" also has a secret that cannot be told. He is a eunuch. The reason why he went to great lengths to seize Rama's body was to use the magical power of the body to make himself a pure man.
Similar to the runner king, the female killer Zhan Qing played by Da S is also a very ancient character. Its most distinctive feature is that she keeps undressing and undressing in front of all kinds of men. We know that there are a lot of stars in Gu Long's novels, and the representative character is undoubtedly Lin Xian'er. At the same time, the heroes in Gu Long's novels are generally open to anyone who comes here. After a woman takes off her clothes, Mr. Gu Long usually uses this fixed sentence to describe: "Hot body, firm breasts, flat belly, smooth calves, sultry panting... XXOO". "Jian Yu" is not a restricted level, and Su Zhaobin is not Chu Yuan, so it is naturally difficult to present such a hot and sultry scene in the film. More often, the big S is just showing his shoulders and showing a beautiful back, but for my collarbone control Speaking of which, being able to look at the fragrant shoulders of beautiful women is not a waste of time to go to the cinema. In the film, after taking off her clothes to seduce the male protagonist played by Zheng Yucheng failed, Bianqing turned over from the bed, broke through the window, and finally flew up the courtyard wall to escape. But sharp-eyed viewers can definitely find that when Big S got up from the bed and jumped out of the window, his back was completely naked. Although this shot should have been shot by a stuntman, it can also be called one of the classic moments of Chinese martial arts movies.
In addition to the two characters, Runner King and Zhanqing, "Sword Rain" also has a cologne flavor in other details: the Tongtian cable used by the color dramatist played by Dai Liren, and the rainstorm pear flower needle used by Lei Bin played by Shawn Yue. Hidden weapons all have the strange and eerie taste of ancient dragons; after Rama's body appeared, everyone in order to take the body as their own, first the wife of the head of the Kongtong sect killed the head without a word, and then Cai The dramatist instigated Lei Bin, Zhan Qing, and Drizzle to join forces to kill the Wheel King. This kind of intrigue in the blink of an eye is also a very distinctive feature of Gu Long; The scene, dialogue lines, atmosphere grasp, and action design are quite authentic.
However, even if it feels like an ancient dragon on the whole, "Sword Rain" can hardly be called an excellent martial arts movie, because the film's vulgar and bloody plot is still a bit more. The first half shows the "sister and brother love" between Michelle Yeoh and Zheng Yucheng. They follow the path of a fresh Japanese and Korean literary film. They love you hard in their hearts. , and the atmosphere of martial arts is completely inconsistent. The final battle between good and evil in the ending part was stinky and long, exhausted and wounded, or not dead, and finally ushered in a happy ending. The powerful vitality of Drizzle, played by Michelle Yeoh, is more speechless than Zhang Ziyi's younger sister in House of Flying Daggers. Some people say that "Sword Rain" is the best Chinese martial arts movie after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". This is true, because after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there are only two martial arts movies in the true sense. The "House of Flying Daggers" referred to is "Seven Swords" in which Tsui Hark suffered the Nth time in a row at Waterloo. In contrast, although "Sword Rain" is not as pure and innocent, it is definitely not a bad movie. What's the point of such a title? The future of martial arts movies is still worrying.
