In today's headline watermelon video, we relive an old movie "Qin Song" filmed 24 years ago, directed by Zhou Xiaowen, starring Jiang Wen, Xu Qing, Ge You, Ge Zhijun, Wang Qingxiang, etc., telling the story of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the world, conquest of the Six Kingdoms, and the series of stories between musician Gao Wanli and Qin Shi Huang.
After watching this film, I was once again shocked by its grandeur and grandeur, impressed by the superb acting skills of the powerful actors, and moved by the director's selection, music, art, etc.
Jiang Wen plays Qin Shi Huang
So, what's the main good thing about this film? Combined with the content of the movie, it is mainly analyzed from the following three aspects:
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > write about war through the lens of music</h1>
The special feature of the movie "Qin Song" is that its angle is very tricky, the theme is very novel, and it chooses the special angle of music to describe the war, portray people's hearts, and express the human nature in the war, people's choices, struggles, etc.
This is somewhat similar to the film "The Pianist" directed by Roman Polanski, which also depicts the war through the perspective of music. However, it was released in 2002, 6 years after "Ode to Qin".
What does music look like in the face of war? What kind of psychology is a musician? In the movie "Qin Song", Gao Wanli, played by Ge You, made a vivid interpretation, his demeanor, expression, thoughts, confusion, and resistance, and performed the inner changes and struggles of the characters.
Ge You plays Gao Wanyuan
The movie also starts with a piece of music, that is, the nursery rhyme "Two Puppies", when he was a teenager, Yingzheng and Gao gradually grew up together, and when Yingzheng was killed, he heard this song "Two Puppies", which was the beginning of his inner strength and a little comfort in his childhood.
When Gao Wanli faced the demise of the Yan state and was imprisoned in the qin state, his heart was like ashes, a blank, and he began to hunger strike, only to die quickly. Unexpectedly, when Princess Liyang of the Qin Kingdom played this song "Two Puppies", he began to change in his heart, as if at that moment, something touched him.
For him, music is hope, expectation, a beam of light shining on his heart.
At this time, I suddenly remembered a recent movie, which is also starring Ge You, that is, "Two Tigers", middle-aged people hear children's songs, nursery rhymes, the same feeling, with the same magic.
Why does Yin Zheng, Gao Wanli, and Zhang Chenggong in "Two Tigers" like to listen to children's songs? Because in their hearts, it is something that has grown up with them since they were young, a symbol, a comfort, and a spiritual sustenance.
As they age, this music is something that awakens them to a deep sleep inside, and it is the thing they will go back to and keep looking for.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > depicts characters through an iron triangle</h1>
In the movie "Qin Song", we can find the successful use of the Iron Triangle.
From a superficial level, the protagonists of the movie are these three characters, that is, Yingzheng, Gao Wanli, and Princess Liyang.
Yin Zheng and Gao Wanli grew up together, and a few years later, one person is about to unify the world and become the first emperor, and one person wants to compile the "Ode to Qin" for him and praise his great achievements. However, Princess Liyang fell in love with Gao Wanli, but had to obey her father's orders and marry the general Wang Ben.
The film always revolves around the three of them, portraying the brotherhood of Yingzheng and Gao Wanli, including the final Gao Wanli before his death, calling Yingzheng "big brother", that scene is moving.
Zhao Gao, Yin Zheng, Li Si
It also portrays the deep feelings of Yingzheng and Princess Liyang, especially after Princess Queyang's leg was injured, he helped her onto the horse and let her ride again, reflecting the deep fatherly love.
The film's depiction of the feelings between Gao Wanli and Princess Oak Yang is even more touching. Especially before Princess Liyang finally married Wang Ben, her face was also like Gao Wanli, and she was printed with the word "prisoner" by a soldering iron. At that moment, it was thought that they were the same, with their own inner world, but like a prisoner, they couldn't help themselves.
From a deep level, the film also portrays three other key characters, that is, Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Wang Qi Wang Ben father and son.
They are important subjects of the imperial court, and together they have won the world for the Qin state, and they also check and balance each other and coexist with each other.
Zhao Gao controlled the inner court, and next to Yingzheng, Li Si was the chancellor, commanding hundreds of officials, and Wang Qi's father and son were military generals, conquering the world for Yingzheng and unifying the whole country.
At the same time, they also have their own small calculations, on the one hand, they want to fight for more interests for themselves, on the other hand, they maintain a delicate balance with each other under the gaze of Yingzheng.
This is also a superb artistic technique of the film, and I have to admire the wonderful interpretation of these old drama bones, and their superb interpretation together presents a vivid chess game.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > scenes, art, music in movies</h1>
The scenes in the movie "Qin Song", art, music, each one is wonderful, unique.
Not only are the details very careful and in place, but the scene is magnificent and secretly praised.
For example, the many uses of torches in the movie, on the one hand, there is a momentum, solemnity, and majesty in it, and on the other hand, there is also a hope, glimmer, and ideal in it.
For example, the many uses of steps in the movie reflect the majesty of Yingzheng as the first emperor on the one hand, and are high, on the other hand, it also symbolizes his loneliness and loneliness.
In addition, the lines in the movie are also particularly classic, both the atmosphere of ancient texts, beautiful, and rich in philosophy, which is contemplative and endlessly evocative.
For example, Yin Zheng said to Gao Wanli, "Whether it is war or law, it is like a chess game, I can only follow the rules of chess, relying on will and sacrifice to win." ”
The music in the play is also magnificent, magnificent and full of charm, which is worth listening to carefully and tasting slowly.
Not only can it be skillfully integrated with the psychology of the characters, but it can also express a unique voice instead of the characters, and play a profound aesthetic effect.
The screenwriter of the film is Reed, and he is also the screenwriter of the movie "Farewell to the Overlord", and his influence is evident. At the same time, the soundtrack is Zhao Jiping, who also scored the soundtrack for the movie "Farewell to the Overlord", the art is Cao Jiuping, and he also served as an art designer for "The Big Red Lantern Hangs High", they are all in the industry, and they jointly support this classic movie.
