Edit | It's not like a little swimming
The history of movies in China is not very long, and it is only about 100 years old.
From the first film "Dingjun Mountain" to the later introduction of foreign films, from black and white films to color films.
Forty or fifty years ago was the prosperous period of Hong Kong films, and a large number of movie stars were born.
Like Leslie Cheung, the Four Heavenly Kings, Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan, etc. are all movie stars in this period.
At the same time, mainland films are also world-renowned for their unique colors.
The prosperity of the film industry has also brought us many evocative classic pictures.
smoke
Smoking is often featured in many films about men, and a famous writer said:
"I like to smoke, not because I like the taste of nicotine, but because it makes us feel like we've done something meaningful in this world of nothingness."
Many times, smoking is just to escape, to numb yourself.
In the most helpless and helpless time, he could only light a cigarette and look at the smoke in front of him, as if he could forget everything.
In the movie "Hello, Mr. Tree", Wang Baoqiang showed his acting skills.
He can not only play Silly Gen and Xu Sanduo, but also the complex and humble Mr. Tree.
In the movie, Mr. Tree most often does cigarettes.
He always seems to have a cigarette with him in his pocket, a cigarette in the other, and when he smokes, his body will tremble.
After being bullied, Mr. Tree will light a cigarette, his eyes empty and helpless, but he still holds on to his weak dignity.
It is said that Wang Baoqiang never smoked for this role, from not smoking to three packs a day.
If Wang Baoqiang smokes, it is a release of a kind of aggrieved emotion.
Then the fat cat Zheng Zeshi's smoking action in "Golden Hotel" is very chic.
After getting out of the car, he first shook his hand and took out the lighter, then lit a cigarette, and then flicked it again to put the lighter back in place.
This action is smooth and done in one go.
Although Zheng Zeshi looks very honest, he has the temperament of a gangster after wearing sunglasses.
It is said that many young people loved his series of actions back then.
Speaking of smoking, I have to mention the melancholy male god Tony Leung, who has smoking scenes in many movies.
Especially in the movies directed by Wong Kar-wai, "Chongqing Forest", "2046", etc., Tony Leung always wears a black suit.
With his head down, he takes a puff of cigarette and continues to speak his lines, his eyes are looking directly at you, and there seems to be a lot of emotion flowing.
Jumping Dance
Dancing is also a way to express emotions in film.
The protagonist dances to the music, whether light, rapid, or low, and each dance is a reflection of the plot.
In the movie "The True Story of A Fei", Leslie Cheung is alone in a dimly lit room.
Wearing a thin vest, he gently jumped from the house to the balcony with the music, full of loneliness.
In this movie, Ah Fei is like a footless bird that has been swimming among different women all his life.
But he never stayed, because the footless bird only had one chance to land, and that was the end of his life.
Although he has many confidants, Ah Fei is still lonely, he does not know his background, and he wants to find his family all his life.
So he won't open his heart easily, and this dance is a psychological portrayal of him alone.
is also dancing, in the movie "Fuse", the scumbag brother played by Lu Liangwei is another state of mind.
In the plot, he is an underworld boss who is the most arrogant and irritable.
After a completed transaction, he danced to the rhythm of the bar's dance floor.
Especially the warbler Yanyan around her, which reflects the romance of the scumbag brother.
Later, because of a mistake, Brother Scumbag went to prison, and in the prison cell, Brother Slag danced by himself again.
It was a contempt, and in his opinion there was nothing to be afraid of prison, and he knew that the police could not help him, and he was quickly released.
If these dancing shots are to express emotions.
Then the dancing scene in the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is pure beauty, a kind of classical oriental beauty.
Zhen Huan wore a pink long-sleeved skirt at a banquet and danced a "Thrilling Dance" for the emperor.
Dancing with the figures of the piano and flute, it is very romantic.
It is said that actor Sun Li only studied for about ten minutes before filming this scene, and he mastered this dance proficiently.
I have to say that some people are really talented.
Hui Xiang
Xi Murong Shiyun: "A thousand times of looking back in the past life is exchanged for a passing in this life."
Some look back to stumble upon someone they haven't seen for a long time, and some look back at love at first sight.
Looking back at the most important eye of this lens, there must be a "god" in the eyes.
Tony Leung played Chan Wing-yan in the movie "Infernal Affairs".
At first, he was a student at the police academy, and he was full of thoughts that he would become a police officer and be able to uphold justice in the future.
But the arrival of Officer Huang changed everything for Chen Yongren, and he was selected to go undercover next to Han Chen, the boss of the underworld.
This means that he must give up his current identity and become a gangster.
After leaving the Police Academy, Chen Yongren finally looked back reluctantly and looked at the Police Academy again.
In addition to reluctance in his eyes, there is also confusion and depression about the future, and the change of identity makes Chen Yongren have to change.
After looking back this time, Chen Yongren's life has been turned upside down.
The girlfriend who has been in love for many years left, and he had to fight every day, and that look back seemed destined to be a tragedy for Chen Yongren.
The movie "Big Shanghai" is not a very good movie.
But Yuan Quan contributed a textbook-like retrospective shot in it, and it is said that even Fa Ge was moved at that time, and he almost didn't catch the scene.
Yuan Quan plays the first love of Bai Yueguang, the male protagonist Cheng Daqi, and the two are separated because of fate.
Many years later, they met unexpectedly in Shanghai, but at this time she was already married.
Seeing Cheng Daqi again, she didn't care about walking away at first, but as she walked, she couldn't help but look back.
Yuan Quan's eyes seemed to have a clear spring, and I felt pity for the expression of wanting to cry.
In her eyes, there seemed to be affection, and more helplessness.
After looking back, she grabbed her husband's hand and left, leaving only the sluggish Chengda in place, which she could not forget for a long time.
In the movie "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhao Min, the county lord played by Zhang Min, also has a wonderful retrospective scene.
She disguised herself as a man and rode a tall horse down the street, surrounded by attendants to show her nobility.
Just as she rode forward, she seemed to suddenly sense something and looked back.
The eyes are full of pride and domineering, as if everything is under control, and few women can have such eyes.
drink
"The world is out of my generation, as soon as I enter the rivers and lakes, the emperor is laughing and talking, and he is drunk in life."
In martial arts movies, wine and rivers and lakes seem to be inseparable, and where there are rivers and lakes, there must be wine.
Whether it is a reunion or separation, there are always a few bowls of wine, and heroes can walk the rivers and lakes without money, but they can't do without wine.
That's why there are drunkards like "Li Xunhuan" and "Hong Qigong".
In the movie "The Resurgence of the Undefeated Orient", the undefeated Orient played by Lin Qingxia is full of heroism.
There is not only the gentleness and charm of the daughter's family, but also the pride of the man.
Although this role does not conform to Mr. Jin Yong's original work, it is a new feeling for the audience.
In the movie, Dongfang is undefeated in a red robe, standing in the water, raising the wine jug and raising his head to drink heroically.
After drinking, he wiped his mouth with a chuckle, and his eyebrows were full of chic freehand.
This role is undoubtedly the most epoch-making one among so many movies starring Lin Qingxia.
It was after this that the directors seemed to discover another trait in Lin Qingxia.
So we can see that in works such as "East Becomes West", "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Lin Qingxia always appears as a woman.
Speaking of wine, I have to mention the wine and sword fairy played by Xie Junhao in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I".
It's called Jiujian Xian, and his favorite is naturally drinking.
Although he is a Taoist disciple, he does not have that kind of pedantic aura in the body of the wine sword immortal.
He yearns for freedom and advocates leisure, but fate plays a joke on him and makes him fall in love with someone he shouldn't love.
Since then, Jiujian Immortal has left Shushan to wander around, living a life of wine and drunkenness.
He always carries a wine gourd with him, and every time he drinks, the wine sword fairy always shows a satisfied expression.
It seems that only alcohol can make him forget everything, and all he needs is forgetfulness after getting drunk.
Another movie that is famous for drinking is Jackie Chan's "Drunken Fist".
It was this movie that made the kung fu of drunken boxing famous, which was paid tribute to many people later.
Drunken boxingDrunken boxing, as the name suggests, is a punch after getting drunk, and in this movie, alcohol is throughout.
In this movie, Jackie Chan always holds a jar of wine every time he uses a drunken fist.
After punching for a while, he had to drink a lot until he was completely drunk, and Jackie Chan was already shaky at this time, and he seemed to be unstable.
The enemy will inevitably take this scene lightly, and Jackie Chan is seizing the opportunity to give the other party a hard blow.
The atmosphere of this movie is very relaxed, and Jackie Chan uses his usual style to bring the audience a hearty audio-visual enjoyment.
So much so that for many years afterward, drunken boxing became quite popular in Chinese kung fu.
If action movies can't reflect acting skills, then Li Xuejian's drinking scene in the movie "Hey! Old Man" is directly a god.
In the movie, he plays Liu Ertie, a father with Alzheimer's disease.
Liu Ertie has no hobbies in his life, only one drinks, and he has been drinking all his life, but he is sick when he is old.
When he raised the glass, his hands trembled violently, and he tried desperately to hold it steady, but the wine still spilled.
He poured it several times in succession, but never succeeded, and finally he simply picked up the bottle and drank it to his mouth.
But even so, his hands were still uncontrollable, and he couldn't drink from his mouth.
In this short scene, Li Xuejian vividly portrayed the emotions of an old drunkard who desperately wanted to drink.
The trembling of the hands, the helplessness and anger on the face, are meticulous, worthy of a performance artist.
