"Snowflake Secret Fan": Emotional expression is better in the past than in the present, and the mix of styles is very funny!

From the poster of "The Secret Fan of Snowflakes", it is not difficult to see that this is a standard literary film, and the director Wang Ying is also a standard literary film director, so I have already prepared the mentality of enduring a "big boring film" before watching it. Prepare. However, during the viewing process, the whole story was not as protracted and dull as imagined, and the plot flowed in a soothing rhythm from beginning to end; there was no dramatic sadness and joy, and the deep and delicate friendship between women was hidden in the passing of years of being together and separating. There are no explicit hints of homosexuality, and the film doesn't intend to use it as a gimmick. It's just that this kind of emotion is too delicate and private, and it is more suitable for the leisure and wealthy class or foreigners to savor it carefully. For ordinary Chinese people who are busy with their livelihoods every day, I am afraid it is difficult to have enough emotional resonance.

"Snowflake Secret Fan" is interspersed with the life stories of two pairs of sisters in the old and new eras, as well as the delicate, subtle and tangled emotions between them. As for the "Old Homosexual" friendship featured in the film, it's not the word "homosexual" that immediately pops up in the audience's mind, but the close relationship between two girls in ancient Hunan folklore, which emphasizes friendship rather than ambiguity. Therefore, it is not suitable to be classified as a homosexual film. Compared with the ancient and modern stories, the ancient part is due to the emotional interaction between the two women, Lily and Snowflake, which lasted for a lifetime. , or delicate costumes, makeup and props, all of which are full of the beauty of ancient Chinese rhythm in the lens. Due to the background of local folklore and the society in which men are superior to women, Lily and Xuehua's "old fellow" friendship is more reasonable and can touch the hearts of the audience. The modern part is obviously in a foil position compared to the ancient drama, so there is not enough room for the emotional interaction between the two women Nina and Sophia from childhood to adulthood. There is not enough background and foreshadowing, so when the two are about to separate later, the sudden burst of inseparable, broken and tangled emotions is not convincing, making people feel too blunt and abrupt, and it is difficult to identify and agree with the emotions of the two. Moving.

"Snowflake Secret Fan" is a movie with a very strange "blood". It is adapted from the English best-selling book of the same name by a Chinese-American female writer. The starring role, the international superstar Hugh Jackman plays the role, the whole process is filmed in China, the ancient dramas are in Chinese, and the modern dramas are mainly in English. Is it a reflection of the internationalization of the film?

Are you supposed to show it to Westerners? How many Westerners can stand the Chinese dialogue of ancient dramas and the absence of a Western star? You want to say it was shot for the Chinese, right? The lines of the ancient drama obviously make people feel that they are translated from the original English work, whether it is the speech or the words and sentences of the poems, it seems a bit strange. The English dialogue of modern dramas is even more outrageous. A bunch of Chinese people get together and have to communicate in English, not to mention that it is for the convenience of Western audiences! What's even more funny is that if you speak English, you can speak English well, and if you speak Chinese, the audience will not laugh! The most frustrating thing is that the Chinese and English dialogues are mixed, and there are also dialects that reflect the ancient Jiangnan country folk songs and Shanghai dialects that reflect the characteristics of modern regions. Quan Zhixian and the actor who played her father actually have dialogues in Korean. Smecta, really turned people over!

The performances of the actors in the film are still commendable. Although the two leading actors Li Bingbing and Jun Zhixian will definitely encounter language barriers in communication, they have not hindered the emotional communication between the two characters in the play. The ancient Chinese women created by Jun Zhixian The image doesn't look any different. The role positioning and performance styles of the two also complement each other. Li Bingbing's Lily and Nina are active and strong, with clear love and hate, and use strong body language and expressions to directly convey their inner feelings; Deep-rooted in love, more gestures of evasion and concessions are adopted, as well as subtle gestures and expressions to convey affection. The delicate rivalry of the two can be said to have charm and sparks, and they are quite attractive and can move people. And Hugh Jackman's gorgeous dragon set is undoubtedly a major highlight of the film. He can sing and dance well and dedicate a romantic love song mixed in Chinese and English. I believe that every audience will immediately shine. In the following few appearances, he is also a straight suit, elegant, mature and steady, full of the charming charm of a gentleman.
