Originally, I had forgotten what this movie was made for? What's it talking about? Does it look good? But recently, I often see someone blowing on the headlines, what was obscure at that time, and then look at it has become a classic. Doesn't the heart of the person who says this hurt? Could it be that Chinese martial arts movies have made the post-70s and post-80s martial arts fans fall to the point of pursuing "Sword Rain"?
It is true that when I first watched this movie, I went to see Wu Yusen and Yang Ziqiong, although the director was Su Zhaobin (not familiar with it at all), but the publicity at that time was a solid Wu Yusen work! And Yang Ziqiong is the most veritable popular female hit star in the Chinese film industry after Hui Yinghong, of course, there are many real kung fu stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan in those years, but there are not many who can have them red! Hui Yinghong is the most popular female star after Zheng Peipei, especially Hui Yinghong studied Peking Opera since childhood, and then later studied under Liu Jialiang, who was the head of the Liu family class hard martial arts. Although Yang Ziqiong learned martial arts halfway, she was more prominent in the early stage of sports, coupled with diligent study and hard training, and one move and one style in the film, it was like a science class.
Of course, no matter how good the stars are, there are martial substitutes, including Jackie Chan and Jet Li. But the real star, most of the scenes are played in person, so that it can be more natural and in line with the plot. For example, Hui Yinghong, Jet Li, Yang Ziqiong and other people, the fights in their plays (except for the particularly dangerous) such as clouds and flowing water, the director and photographer do not need a variety of switching shots, such a fight can be more realistic, after all, the fight of the stand-in and the actor's face can not be seamlessly docked, as well as the figure, etc., so naturally let the actor's role less tacit understanding.
The topic is still back to the movie "Sword Rain", there are two possibilities, that is, Wu Yusen, as a producer, is actually the main director, I believe that many people think so, so they bought it. Yang Ziqiong is a down-to-earth acting kung fu actress, but it does not mean that a good director will always be able to produce good films, and the same is true for good actors. There is also a possibility that it is really Director Chen's masterpiece? If Wong Kar-wai's "East Drug Addiction" is 90 points, this "Sword Rain" cannot exceed 75 points, not to mention that the male protagonist is still a Korean actor!
Not to disparage Korean actors, most Korean actors are very superb in acting, regardless of men and women, as for Korean-style beautiful men, benevolent people see the wisdom of the wise, just look at the acting skills, are eight or ninety points of the rank. But there is a point, just like the mainland actors participating in Hollywood, cultural differences and regional differences, it is difficult to fully integrate together, especially many movies for the sake of traffic, please foreign actors, have a little fame, the schedule is not enough, the shelf is not big, whether it can fully cooperate with the director and other actors, it is difficult to say.
In addition to the male protagonist Korean, there are also female supporting letters, fortunately she is a female supporting, otherwise this movie may not exceed 60 points. Lin Xilei is really good, but the role is too small, unfortunately! Why did "East Evil West Poison" become a classic many years later? Looking back at the main actors who show their faces there (the main role supporting roles and supporting roles), how many are not the queen of the film? There is also the Wong Kar Wai purgatory shooting process, coupled with those philosophical lines, epic soundtrack, desolate and beautiful desert scenery, it is difficult to think of classics. And then some later movies, not to mention the director can't sink his heart to shoot like that, the actors are not willing to cooperate, and the investors are hiding far away! In order to become more brilliant under the wash of time, the exquisite works can be more and more brilliant under the wash of time, that is the classic!
The male and female protagonists, a family broken and dead are plagued by hatred, one is tired of the killer career, and then lose his hand to kill his beloved and suffer, they both change their faces and want to be an ordinary person, the original two enemies, were arranged by fate to walk together. However, it is also strange to say that their encounters and acquaintances always make me jump to the scene of "Green Snake". Or the director and screenwriter arranged the rain, echoing the heroine's original name drizzle, but jumped into the cliché, after all, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian umbrella for the media is too classic, such a bridge section will make people compare! (The ending is that the male protagonist already knows the identity of the female protagonist, and in order to get revenge, he can approach her, and the female protagonist really does not know the identity of the male protagonist)
This drizzle is a red media plot, I always feel a little ominous, will thunder and lightning, see people panic. The female protagonist Yang Ziqiong is older, still simple, the male protagonist is just like I said, many people may not really be willing to play ugly, so he is not very suitable for Jiang Asheng's personality. Just one or twenty minutes, thunderstorms after thunderstorms, yes, yes, thunderstorms. According to the drama, this is Huizhou, and the spring rain is more appropriate and more romantic! According to the costume judgment is not too hot, thunder showers are a little hard, but also not picky, watch martial arts movies, there is no need to be too real, otherwise those martial arts are not scientific!
Looking at this work again, it is too far-fetched to say that it is rotten, and it is too far-fetched to say that it is classic. The picture, soundtrack, fight and lines, etc., are also deliberated, at least I think that many lines are related and echoed with the plot characters, which is careful. Chinese martial arts movies, early Zhang Che Ah Hu Jintuo, etc., in order to express the essence of martial arts, but because of special effects and technical restrictions, the emphasis on the mood is greater than the form; later Liu Jialiang created a new martial arts, the shape is greater than the intention, those solid real kung fu, the moves are novel, and they are all practicing, and they can feel the strength of fists and feet across the screen!
Then in the era of Xu Keyuan peace, science and technology have developed, the mature use of stunts, coupled with the early martial arts team of talents, has reached a new height, and many group performances that have no chance to show their faces are practicing family members, and truly achieve the perfect combination of intention and form, which can be described as the most perfect and peak era of martial arts. But later, too dependent on special effects and stunts, too dependent on the flow of stars after the martial arts movies plummeted, all the leading actors almost no real kung fu, no matter how good the martial arts, can not replace the audiovisual effects brought by real kung fu, group performances are some ordinary people. The whole movie from top to bottom, the fight design is wonderful, the special effects are perfect, but also lost the essence of the martial arts movie, the actions and body language of those actors, stiff and not smooth, can not reflect the power of the kung fu film beauty!
Lin Xilei was chased and killed by the three generations of grandchildren, which can be described as extremely attentive, smooth movements, and novel design, but as I said, many actors are no longer like the real kung fu before, and the fight lacks a sense of reality! To say that those few killer soil, but also the real soil, perfect interpretation of the sinister jianghu, the most ordinary people may also be the most powerful killers, but when they reveal the original face of the killer, they are still the most ordinary people, which is the biggest failure of many martial arts films now!
Yang Ziqiong beat women in a generation, linger than enough, lack of warmth, but compared to the male protagonist, it is still in the play. People who like to watch Korean dramas, when they watch the male protagonist of this movie, will they always jump the scene? In addition to the appearance is very Korean, the mouth shape movements are very Korean, after all, the language and body habits are there. It is said that this movie has also lost more than an hour between the completion of the film and the release, think about it, many plots can not be connected, a jump and a jump, a little inexplicable, may start to want to be divided into two parts of the release of it!
Over the years, many originally good directors, good scripts, and even a lot of good actors, do not know whether it is capital operation, or fancy popularity, there will always be some actors who really should not join. For example, superwoman champion Lee's limelight is unmatched, so many movies invite her, "October Siege" has her, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" also has her, although many older people do not like her songs at all, but many young people like, do not discuss whether it is good or not, but acting in movies, she is really not suitable.
If champion Lee can enter the big screen for traffic, then what about the big letters? Seriously suspect that it is capital operation, or the director of what to bring people, I want to say that the big letter acting skills are good, I have a little bit of weakness! Her appearance is not outstanding, she was not a traffic bearer at that time, and she had nothing to do with beating women, but she still came, at least the duan position of female number three (in fact, she played more than Lin Xilei).
As mentioned earlier, the movie "Sword Rain" has to be praised as a classic, and it is too ugly to eat; similarly, if you say that he is a bad film, then in the past ten years, how many better martial arts movies can you find than it? The first part of "Embroidered Spring Knife" won in the literary drama, the second part fell to the altar; "Master" combined shape and meaning, but unfortunately the heroine pulled the crotch, the style was too inland; "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was too capital and traffic, "Arrow Soldier Liu Bai Ape" wanted to take the "East Evil West Poison" route, but unfortunately the lines and actors were lacking. The above are the best martial arts movies in the past ten or twenty years, at best, between bo zhong and "Sword Rain", even less, I still struggle with "Sword Rain" to lose an hour and a half is true or false, if not cut is not much better than now?
Although the male protagonist is too heavy because the Korean version is too heavy, some influences, but many scenes can also be remarkable, that period of the room to draw the sword and sharpen the sword scene is particularly good, look at ease, a real master interpretation to the fullest. Of course, this scene is also quite relaxed, the fight is also wonderful, Lei Bin also holds it very well, but the big letter, which is like a martial arts master, haha, just add laughter!
However, this movie is not friendly to the big letters, the character is very unpleasant, it feels like it has been off, and it has been buried alive twice! But the wheel king of the old drama bone is very classic, I have seen it before, I know that he is a eunuch, this time I forgot that the beard is pasted, and I am still thinking about how can I have a beard? The old drama bone literary drama and martial arts drama are all exploded, including the section that is only promised in front of the little eunuch, which is also in place.
Remember the fight between Lin Xilei and Lu Zhu, in fact, Lu Zhu's is far less than Yang Ziqiong's classic in the final cemetery, and I feel that Lu Zhu's performance traces are too much. The end of the movie is still quite satisfactory, the bad guys are dead, the male and female protagonists are not ashamed and impatient, living happily together, and the male protagonist shows a very Korean version of the smile! #Entertainment##Movie##Movie##电影杂谈 #
