Some time ago, the topic of euthanasia of the famous movie star Alandron was hyped up, and later I personally came forward to refute the rumors, saying that he was only in favor of euthanasia, and did not immediately go to implement it.
Stars are getting old – it's a harsh reality that's hard to accept! The once handsome and dashing Aland Dragon is now faltering, and people can't help but sigh!
The acquaintance with Alandron begins with Zorro.
1978 was definitely a special year in the history of Chinese cinema, in which there were two huge foreign sensations: "The Hunt" starring Ken Takakura, and "Zorro" starring Alandron. Two excellent film works have opened the eyes of Chinese who have just come out of the closed state, and they are addicted!
"The Hunt" has been said before, now let's talk about "Zorro".
In the Spanish-ruled South American region, "Zorro" is a legendary figure who is superior in kung fu and punishes adultery and evil, and is well known to women and children, and is very similar to the British "Robin Hood". The story of "Zorro" has been made into a movie 38 times, and Hollywood is preparing to make the 39th time, setting a new record.
The reason why it has been filmed so many times, because people love to watch it, when "Zorro" was released in China, a total of 70 million people walked into the cinema, creating a box office miracle!
Zorro tells this story:
During the Spanish colonial rule, there was a place called New Aragon in South America, where the people were not allowed to pay heavy taxes under the dictatorship of the colonist Colonel Virta. To change this, the King of Spain had to send a new governor to Aragon, Miguel. Unexpectedly, Miguel was assassinated on the way to office. Before dying, he gives the official seal to his good friend, "Europe's first swordsman" Don Diego (Alandron), asking him to complete the mission instead of himself and rescue the suffering people.
Three months later, the new governor suddenly appeared in New Aragon. Colonel Virta was puzzled: he had already sent someone to kill the new governor, so why did he come again?
Colonel Virta is fierce and swordsmanship, and the average person is not an opponent. In order to paralyze Virta, Don Diego appears as a timid, cowardly and incompetent waste, doing nothing but eating, drinking and having fun.
At the same time, folklore has it that a masked black man descended from the sky to punish evil and do justice, leaving a letter "Z" (Zorro's first letter) everywhere he went.
The appearance of "Zorro" brought hope to the people in the depths of the water, his black hat, black cloak, black blindfold and black horse have become his symbols, and everywhere he went, he was warmly cheered by people, who helped and supported "Zorro" in various ways.
The appearance of Zorro coincided with the arrival of the new governor, which could not help but make Virta suspicious of the identity of the new governor, but after a series of trials did not find a flaw.
Virta hated Zorro, who had disturbed his good deeds, and had to put him to death quickly enough, trying to do everything he could to chase and block it to no avail. Angry and corrupt, he intensified his cruel persecution of rebels and vented the anger in his heart.
Virta had long coveted the beautiful woman Ortonia, fabricating false accusations against her parents and forcing her to marry her.
At the wedding, "Zorro" suddenly appears and engages in a fierce duel with Virta. At the last moment, "Zorro" takes off his mask to reveal his true face - he is the new governor! During Virta's stunned kung fu, Zorro stabbed him to death with a sword.
Zorro, who was the only one to eliminate the evil, bid farewell to Ortonia and the general public, stepped on his beloved dark horse and ran away.
The plot of "Zorro" is not complicated, but it is tireless to watch, in addition to the attraction of the story itself, Alandron's wonderful performance is also one of the important reasons, his handsome appearance and agile posture have fascinated countless boys and girls, becoming the idol of almost all women in the world!
The so-called classic is a good story meets a good actor, Alain Deron made Zorro, Zorro also made Alain Delon. Alandron's version of "Zorro" has become an absolute classic and cannot be surpassed.
French cinema has never lacked humor, and "Zorro" is no exception, they have also made war films into comedies, and "Tiger's Mouth" is a good example.
In addition to Alandron's wonderful performance, the other characters in the film are also brilliant: the treacherous and murderous villain Virta, the beautiful and strong Ortonia, the alert dumb servant, the clever little black child, and the fat and stupid Garcia, etc., like a piece of green leaf that sets off Alandron's red flower very well.
The music of the film is also very distinctive, and the cheerful rhythm of "Zorro's Song" sounds like a blood-boiling and unforgettable sound.
Now that the former male god has aged, a generation of superstars is about to end, and "Zorro" has become a masterpiece!
