A classic work in the film and television industry, with a few characters, with delicate hearts and beautiful pictures, it skillfully outlines a unique arena. "The crouching tiger hides the dragon in the rivers and lakes, isn't it the human heart? The sword hides the wickedness, isn't it human?" Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian are traditional knights, they are moral and righteous, polite, wise and loyal. But in fact, it is my duty, rigid and observant - I have adhered to ethics and morality all my life, so much that I suppressed my feelings and never dared to take that step. They crouching tiger and hiding dragon lie in their own desires and hide the desire for freedom hidden in their hearts. The platonic love between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian was born under the constraints of feudal etiquette. They abide by their inner morality. Yu Xiulian herself is still unable to transcend her heart after her many hints to Li Mubai and the strong support of Lord Baylor. moat. However, a lifetime of repression eventually turned into Li Mubai's confession of death, and a lifetime of lying in hiding turned into a loving kiss from Yu Xiulian. They must have longed for Yu Jiaolong's arena, but under the pressure of their inner principles, this is just a fantasy, and this ending may be a short-lived dream come true. "Living freely, choosing the person you love, and loving him in your own way is the real happiness." Yu Jiaolong was originally the daughter of the noble family of the banner people. She has martial arts skills, but the blue-eyed fox cannot satisfy her martial arts dream. Her heart is free, and she wants to be as unrestrained as those knights in the world; she dares to love and hate, just because of Luo Xiaohu's free and easy, she gave up the family engagement and admired him; Her mind is treacherous and complicated, and she is quite shrewd, so she treats everyone like that, even the blue-eyed fox who treats her as a family member. These make her a completely self-centered person. The names of Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu correspond to the dragons and tigers in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Their dashing and self-consciousness is exactly what Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian have been suppressing. And Yu Jiaolong is undoubtedly the central character of the whole play - Yu Xiulian envies and even a little jealous of her, Li Mubai wants to teach her martial arts, Luo Xiaohu admires her, and the blue-eyed fox regards her as her only relative. But she yearned for the rivers and lakes in her heart - a place that was not bound by strict rules and feudal ethics, but it was a dream-like place after all. Although she was self-centered, she still couldn't hold back her guilt for Li Mubai's death. . Li An's pictures are absolutely beautiful. His pictures of Yu Xiulian always have a worldly feeling like ordinary beings; while his pictures of Li Mubai always have a Taoist temperament that doesn't eat human fireworks; and his pictures of Luo Xiaohu are more like A kind of heroic and hearty spirit of a desert nation; while the Yu Jiaolong he photographed is an image of inner freedom, pursuit of true self, transcendence of worldliness and transcendence of nature. The appearance of Yu Jiaolong broke the tacit understanding between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian. Yu Xiulian believed that killing the closed-eyed fox would allow Yu Jiaolong to return to a peaceful life, but Li Mubai insisted on accepting Yu Jiaolong as his apprentice, and was even willing to serve Yu Jiao. Long broke Wudang's rule of not accepting female apprentices. Maybe Li Mubai didn't realize that he already had a special affection for Yu Jiaolong in his heart. The battle at Bamboo Forest not only brought Li An's beautiful pictures to the extreme, but also the unknown emotions hidden in Li Mubai's heart seemed to be released here. Coupled with unhurried and slow music, it creates a bamboo forest like a fairyland. It seems that there is a fight, but it is more like a silent dialogue. Yu Jiaolong stood in the middle of the bamboo, Li Mubai stood on the top of the bamboo, and several close-ups clearly showed Yu Jiaolong's nervousness and Li Mubai's playful smile. Finally Yu Jiaolong couldn't help it, "Do you want a sword or me?!" These are what constitutes Li An's subordinates. Although they are beautiful and natural, although they seem to be different from the mortal world, they are ultimately a person who cannot escape the fetters of the world. rivers and lakes. Just like the jade dragon that jumped from Wudang Mountain, the rivers and lakes in my heart, the place like a dream, will finally dissipate with the wind when the curtain ends.
