Gong Li is a well-known actor in China, and her cooperation with Zhang Yimou has achieved great success, and her works have won many domestic and international awards. For a while, Gong Li went to North America to develop, leaving several classic works in Hollywood, today I will choose three classic works to share with you, I don't know if you have seen it.
1. "Memoirs of a Geisha", a drama film directed by Rob Marshall, supervised by Steven Spielberg, with Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, and Yang Ziqiong participating in the filming.
In this movie, Gong Li becomes Zhang Ziyi's nemesis, just like some relationships in reality, which is very interesting. And Yang Ziqiong is Zhang Ziyi's planner, very set.
However, the ending of the movie is still acceptable, although Xiao Lily, played by Zhang Ziyi, has suffered a lot, but in the end, it is a lover who will eventually become a family. But Gong Li's debut peach is not so lucky, which is also in line with the consistent fate of the villain's supporting role, yu Yuran left the place.
Reminiscent of the song lotus in "The Red Lantern Hangs High", one wrong step, one wrong step, and finally embarked on a path that makes people sigh.
2. "Miami Storm", this movie has two versions, the domestic release is a 134-minute version, and there is a 140-minute director's cut version.
Gong Li plays the wife of a drug dealer in the film and is also the leader of a smuggling syndicate. It can be said that she is a very capable woman, and she has her own set of ways to deal with the police. Especially an undercover cop who managed to date her later made things more complicated.
After its release, the film topped the North American film box office charts for the weekend, grossing $160 million.
The reputation of this movie is somewhat unspeakable, and the Douban score is only 5.7, which should be regarded as a low-rated one among all gong li's movies.
3. "Young Hannibal", as a prequel to "The Silence of the Lambs", this movie is still very much expected. Gong Li starred in the movie as the aunt of the young Hannibal, and paid a lot of effort to Hannibal's growth.
The young Hannibal had a cruel childhood, his parents were brutally murdered, and when he fled with his sister, the sister was caught and killed by the bad guys. Such an encounter greatly stimulated Hannibal's soul and filled his heart with hatred.
Thanks to the help of his uncle Paul, he came to live in Paris, but Paul also died in a fight. Paul's wife, Lady Purple, played by Gong Li, raised Hannibal and taught him the spirit of Japanese Bushido and swordsmanship.
Madame Purple's care and attention gave the young Hannibal warmth in his heart, and he found a long-lost maternal love in Madame Purple. But because of the cruel experience he suffered in his childhood, he brutally killed his aunt's kidnapper.
This movie Douban scored 7.4, that year Gong Li was 42 years old, at the peak of her life, and was evaluated as the most beautiful moment.
Well, today I recommend these three movies, the most recommended one is the third one, "Young Hannibal" is a more classic movie. This also explains why the later Hannibal was so ferocious and cunning, which is described in detail here.
