That year's National Day, because of the restrictions of poverty, did not have the privilege of appreciating the crowds of the motherland. Left and right are not interesting, and can not abuse themselves too much, so I went to see Zhang Yimou's "Shadow".
The last Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall", was scolded to the skin, and even said "Zhang Yimou is dead" remarks, it can be said that the audience has been disappointed in Zhang Yimou to the extreme, in fact, it is not wronged, "The Great Wall" is indeed very bad, the plot is embarrassing, the special effects are Westernized, the actors are also a combination of Chinese and Western, after watching the film, I feel that the whole smorgasbord, not the same, it seems to be to force a so-called movie to get the actors together.
Fortunately, Zhang Yimou did not disappoint this time, otherwise the audience would be difficult to buy Zhang Yimou's account in the future, which is completely opposite to the gorgeous and dazzling tone of "Full of Golden Armor", "Shadow" is fading the bustling black and white ink style. And it is not completely dependent on special effects, but the props and costumes are as black and white as possible, the true color, so the Chinese feng shui ink paintings presented in the film are not embarrassing.
In the hazy smoke and rain, in the ink-colored landscape, the political center of Peiguo was built next to the water, and inside the palace, the governor Ziyu informed Wang Peiliang of Peiguo in the tone of Ling Jun, vowing to take back Jingzhou, which had been occupied by the enemy country for a long time, and agreed with Yang Cang, the defender of Jingzhou, to single out under the city.
The two sides made a pact to fight, which was equivalent to the war between the two countries, and the peace that had been easily wronged was broken by the Governor Ziyu, and Peiliang, who was obsessed with sound and weak, was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he was helpless to take the merits of the Lord's Son Yu. Finally, he thought of using the eldest princess Qingping to marry Yang Ping, the son of Yang Cang, indicating that Zi Yu's covenant war did not represent the covenant war of peiguo, in order to seek peace that continued to be wronged, and even Yang Ping said that he could only take princess Chang as a concubine, peiliang said, it is not impossible, it can be described as fainting to the extreme.
In order to show his determination to seek peace, Peiliang hung his proud calligraphy work "Taiping Fu" on the top of the court. I personally think that the arrangement of this plot is to fit the ink painting style, of course, it is not abrupt.
At this time, the real DuDu Ziyu was in a damp and dark secret room that did not see the day, and it turned out that he had been hit by Yang Cang's dragging knife, and he was too seriously injured, he was already terminally ill, and he was in the late stage of tracheitis, and his body was thin and boneless, and it was difficult to walk. In order not to let people know that he was about to die, outside the secret room, the Jingzhou that was walking in the human world was just a shadow he had cultivated, and in order to avenge Yang Cang's sword, he racked his brains in this dark secret room to train Jingzhou in order to crack Yang Cang's sword method, and finally came up with the softness of the umbrella to break Yang Cang's heavy sword.
In the process of Jingzhou playing Ziyu, Ziyu's wife Xiao Ai and Jingzhou have mutual affection...
In a pair of ink paintings, the plot is gentle and slowly fainting, until Jingzhou goes head-to-head with Yang Cangcheng as Ziyu, and the plot enters a climax, the cold rain hits the cold weapon, and the cold weapon easily cuts through the flesh of the mortal fetus, and the blood flows.
Picking up only Zi Yu's tiger away from the mountain, learning that Jingzhou had been broken, and Yang Cang, whose son Yang Ping was fierce and unlucky, kicked Jingzhou to the broken bamboo tip, and the bamboo tip entered the body, only to hear the sound of blood flowing and the cries of Jingzhou twisted by pain. Yang Cang took the blade that had fallen off on the umbrella, and wanted to stab Jingzhou, who was struggling on the ground, but was unexpectedly killed by Jingzhou cutting the blade and cutting his throat.
At this time, if Jingzhou dies, it is the result that Ziyu wants to see the most, and then Peiliang will replace him; at this time, if Jingzhou does not die, and Ziyu dies, making Jingzhou a real and obedient Ziyu is the result that Peiliang wants most.
The plot has a reversal, but also relatively complete, the emperor is not dim, the good power plot of Zi Yu is not very smart, with others as a chess piece, others also take you as a chess piece.
The actors are properly selected, the roles are interpreted in place, Deng Chao is stunning, one is a strong and strong Jingzhou, one is a skinny and bony pathological to perverted Ziyu, whether it is body shape or acting skills are relatively perfect, the only deficiency may be deng chao variety show too much, excessive consumption, some people see that he will want to laugh, it is inevitable to play. So a good actor still doesn't over-consume himself. Zheng Kai's Peiliang acting skills are also very good.
Although there is some unusual beauty in the tone of the ink painting, there is still some faint blood, so it is better to take children to see it in advance. In addition, the invention of this weapon is more innovative.
In fact, from the beginning of the film, I thought of Zhang Yimou's "Hero" many years ago, very similar, not the plot or anything, it is a feeling, it feels very similar, the Chinese style is aesthetically beautiful, the first time I watched "Hero", it was more amazing, the original fight can also be filmed so beautiful, silent, especially the fight between Jet Li and Liang Chaowei on the water surface of Jiuzhaigou, picturesque, dreamlike, "Shadow" gives me this feeling, so "Shadow" is Zhang Yimou's "Hero" return.
