#Film and Television Miscellaneous Talk #14 years of release of "Embroidered Spring Knife" must be no stranger to everyone, that year with gorgeous costumes, explosive action fights, and the "chivalrous spirit expressed in the movie, aroused strong resonance among the audience, awakened the long-sealed martial arts dream in the hearts of countless people", so that it is still called "the pinnacle of martial arts drama" by the audience.
Add money to the layman
In fact, the content of this movie is very simple, not mixed with too many flowers and intestines, the background of the story takes place after the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, when the eunuch party was in a terrible position, in order to suppress the eunuch party or the eunuch in order to seize power, a contest of big people began, and the protagonist Shen Lian's three brothers were just a few small flags, in order to resist the controlled fate was forced to start a struggle. Simply put, it is a small character killing a big person, although the plot is very bad, but it does not affect it is a good film.
Because the details of "Embroidered Spring Knife" are in place! First of all, the scene is very interesting, the costumes are very eye-catching, and the weapons are very charming! Friends who have read "Those Things in the Dynasty" are no strangers to Jinyiwei, and the East Factory and West Factory, which makes people talk about the change of color, are both a representative of brutality and a symbol of force. The second is the vigorous action fight, clean and clean, giving the audience a visual feast, fists and feet, knives and guns show the "aesthetics of violence". In particular, Shen Lian and the female assassin in a fight in the jungle, the female assassin played by Xin Zhilei cut Shen Lian's embroidered spring knife with a knife, which was called "cutting off the martial arts dreams of other actresses with one knife"!
Finally, there is character design. From the perspective of personality, the three Shen Lian brothers have their own characteristics as protagonists: the eldest brother Lu Jianxing's "official fans" very much hope that they can be promoted to the position of hundred households, the second brother Shen Lian's "lover" has a crush on Zhou Miaotong, a woman of the Jiaofang Division, and the third brother Jin Yichuan's "sick seedlings" only want to "turn black to white". Honestly speaking, if these three characters alone cannot make "Embroidered Spring Knife" shine, because they only have the "righteousness" of their brothers, and they do not have the freedom and uninhibitedness of "chivalry". However, the appearance of Ding Xiu just makes up for the lack of "hero" in the protagonist, which can be described as the finishing touch, and finally it is with a sentence: "That is my dearest and dearest disciple, I have to add money"! Push the audience's emotions to a climax.
Ding Xiu is not the protagonist in the film, nor is he a good person, as a killer who does not trim the edges, why should he suppress the protagonist? In fact, not because of his classic line "add money to the house", but because of his personality! For the audience, "if you are not afraid of the villain being bad, you are afraid that the villain is full of love!" Obviously, Ding Xiu was such a person, ostensibly wantonly bullying the little master brother Jin Yichuan, in fact, he never really hurt him, because Jin Yichuan was his only relative in this world, he was just angry at the master's eccentricity, angry with the little master's incompetence, obviously getting the master's true transmission but weak and vulnerable.
From the dialogue between Ding Xiu and Jin Yichuan, it was learned that Ding Xiu was also a poor person, when he was a child, the master was not in pain, and the only master and disciple who grew up wanted to draw a clear line with him, and in this environment, Ding Xiu could maintain the character of "both good and evil". In the first half of the film, Ding Xiu plays a completely "evil person" who will only bully his master and brother, but in the later stage, when the painting style changes, he transforms from a killer to a "master brother". The audience can see clearly that the reason why Ding Xiu received Zhao Jingzhong's silver is to indirectly protect Jin Yichuan, otherwise there will be other killers to seek revenge. In addition, the clip of Ding Xiu bargaining with Zhao Jingzhong is very interesting and very meaningful, which not only convinces Zhao Jingzhong that he is a money-greedy killer, but also indirectly plays Zhao Jingzhong's "Take money and don't do anything, hey!" It's about playing"!
Ding Xiu's indirect protection of Jin Yichuan is the "righteousness" between brothers, so the next step to join forces with Shen Lian to deal with the traitor Zhao Jingzhong is a "hero" for the country and the people! The audience knew that the last fight had little to do with Ding Xiu, and the reason why Shen Lian shot out was first to save his life, second, to take revenge, and third, to be an official, so he and Zhao Jingzhong did not die endlessly. And Ding Xiu had to find a reason to participate in the war, at best, it was also to stand up for the master and disciple, so this "ceiling" killer slashed a knife and killed more than a dozen Mongolian cavalrymen, only slightly injured, such a force value had to make people sigh, if the master's favor is not Jin Yichuan but Ding Xiu, then what height will his kung fu reach? This can only be left to the audience to guess on their own!
