Holiday drama famine, listen to the recommendation of friends, turned out an old movie from many years ago, "East becomes West".
I've seen this movie a few times before, but for some reason, I always remember only some of the classic pictures in it, and I don't have an impression of the specific plot and the ending.
I only know that this movie has gathered a lot of well-known actors, but when I saw the cast list, I was still shocked, these people are all big gadges now, and it is estimated that there will be no more opportunities to get together in the same movie.
The newly cut film is only 96 minutes long, which is not long compared to most movies now. But this 1993 film, which has endured for nearly 30 years, really still has its strength.
Plot direction
I don't know why, the film has always been difficult to remember, even if its plot is really simple: a harem concubine unites her cousin to fight for the throne, and the princess who hides the jade seal goes to find someone to help fight them.
One of the things that attracts us is that the characters in it use the classic characters in "Shooting Eagle", such as Wang Chongyang, Ouyang Feng, Hong Qi, Zhou Botong, Duan Wangye...
These characters, which we either respect, hate, or love in the main drama, not only retain their nature in this movie, but also add a lot of funny elements.
Like Ouyang Feng and Hong Qi, they all came out with a cousin, one won the throne for his cousin, one "self-SHA" for his cousin, and Zhou Botong was still played by Liu Jialing...
In short, if Stephen Chow's film is nonsense, the plot of this movie is only too much.
Dialects and accents
At the beginning of the movie, what attracted me to watch was the Taiwanese dialect of Ouyang Feng and his cousin, with subtitles and the yin and yang weird tone, which made people both curious and interesting.
Later, there was a scene of Liang Jiahui playing the duan family's grandchildren in two corners.
Playing the Emperor Taishang, he comes to a sentence of English from time to time, and when he plays His grandson, he is a light and cowardly accent, which really makes people admire the screenwriter's brain hole and be impressed by Liang Jiahui's acting skills.
Styling aside the Blingbling costumes in the play, which may have been a fashion trend in the past, now it seems to add a bit of embarrassment and fun.
And the appearance of Zhang Guorong and Wang Zuxian, the two dressed like actors on the stage, practicing "affectionate knife".
The most destructible thing in the play is the shape of Liang Jiahui playing Ge Ji. That red makeup, that big stick hairstyle, and then directly "big stick blossom" is difficult not to laugh.
Music
One of the characteristics of watching Hong Kong opera is the music inside. The film is no exception, interspersed with unexpected soundtracks.
Not only that, but also the singing of Jacky Cheung and Cheung Kwok-wing, the brainwashing song when Hong Qi's confession to his cousin: I love you, and the Cantonese song when Cheung Kwok-wing and Leung Ka-fai dance together, which is both joyful and pleasant.
When the bullet screen is opened, you can feel the deep impression of these songs.
actor
It was when I saw the collagen of the familiar faces in the film that I went to see the film's factory time- 1993.
It's been almost 30 years, and it's no wonder they're all so youthful and beautiful in the picture. It also made me sigh that this movie really stood the polish of time, at least it made me and many viewers willing to spend time watching, and at the same time, I was still amused.
After watching Lin Qingxia's movies, I am more familiar with her consistent heroic appearance, I did not expect to play the three princesses in this film, so beautiful; recently I can always brush Liu Jialing's life pictures, praise and criticism are mixed, but you look at her in this film, it is not only the most simple male and female costumes, but also tender and beautiful.
In this movie, there are many big celebrities, none of whom have idol baggage, especially Liang Chaowei's classic "sausage mouth", Liang Jiahui's male dress as a woman, they are sincerely funny.
Classics are classics, even after years of polishing, they are still very popular with everyone.
If there is Ann who wants to watch movies during the holidays these days, you may wish to open this "East becomes West" and have fun.
