The movie "Overlord Farewell" is undoubtedly a classic masterpiece in the history of film, and now re-reading the original work of "Overlord Farewell", I found that Chen Kaige is still gentle a lot, and did not move many naked plots in the original work, which shows benevolence, compared with the original and the film version, you can still find a lot of differences.
Cheng Dieyi in the book lives a very real life and does not confuse drama with life. When he saw The Death of Fourth Master Yuan, Cheng Die's face was red and anxious, after all, this was his first man, a man with broad shoulders and a bright spirit, but now he ended up in such a fate.
In the middle of the movie, Cheng Diyi seems indifferent to the death of Yuan Siye, as if this man has nothing to do with himself, and his attitude is indifferent like Juxian Duan Xiaolou. It can be seen that if you have to have some feelings, it must be a kind of confusion about the general environment at that time. After all, Cheng Dieyi, who entered the play, did not have any calculations towards Fourth Master Yuan, and he was not the overlord, what happened to Guan Yuji?
I believe that it is precisely this kind of indifference that makes Cheng Dieyi extra cold and noble, and it is this state that makes us feel that Cheng Dieyi in the movie has always lived in the play, and from beginning to end, he regards himself as Yu Ji.
Not only that, but the love triangle in the book is also more tangled and cruel than in the movie. The reason why Cheng Dieyi loves Duan Xiaolou in the movie is because he has not appeared in the play, has a role filter, and has always been Yu Ji guarding the overlord, so Cheng Dieyi's hostility to Ju Xian is not aimed at himself, but separated by a layer of character diaphragm.
After tasting it carefully, as an audience, it is not difficult for us to find out that Ju Xian is not Yu Ji? The two love the so-called overlord in their minds, and while competing with each other for jealousy and hostility, they can't help but feel a little pity. The two true Yu Ji did not think that they were a fake overlord.
And all this in the movie, all of them in the book do not exist, the Cheng Dieyi and Ju Xian described in the book, without the rendering of the artistic atmosphere, closer to ordinary women, the two will compete with each other for jealousy, Ju Xian will always emphasize the identity of his own main room, Di Yi will laugh at the clothes made by Ju Xian are not suitable, and can not get the pleasure of Duan Xiaolou.
Even when Dieyi was in pain with drug use, Ju Xian helped him quit drugs, And Dieyi cried out to his mother, and whenever he came here, everyone must have some emotions, but the book and the movie did two completely different degrees of treatment of this plot.
When Cheng Dieyi in the book went to force Ju Xian to leave Duan Xiaolou, he thought that he had lost for so many years and could finally win again, and Cheng Dieyi in the movie had long since lost this joy of success, and with the faint passage of time, he had long since stopped holding out any hope for regaining Duan Xiaolou. After all, the overlord had already fallen, how could Yu Ji be the real Yu Ji?
Therefore, the movie version of Cheng Dieyi woke up from a dream, and after waking up, he found that what he had been pursuing for so many years was actually a dream, and he could not accept the reality of The Butterfly Yi killed himself.
And the butterfly clothes in the book, reluctant to die, survived secretly, buried in this city with anonymity, and even married a wife, forgetting the past to live the life of an ordinary man. He was afraid to recall the past, nor did he dare to recall the past, and he was no longer the Yu Ji of that year, the once famous horn, now only the old dragon clock was left, which was chilling.
Yes, after the comparison, it is indeed found that the film adds a lot of true temperament and legend to these characters. Each character exudes a different charm, but the book is different, the book is more real, and everyone is struggling with their own reality and self-entanglement.
Nowadays, there are many netizens who are comparing, some people say that the movie is more dramatic, can let the audience feel the emotions between them in the ups and downs, and the artistic color is strong; some netizens think that the original work is more real, and the surviving Cheng Dieyi compromises the life, the reality is helpless, and it is more enough to reflect the legendary story in that era.
In any case, the song will end in the end, whether it is a brilliant death, or a stubborn life, presumably their feelings have really existed, we viewers should also realize after watching it, after a dream, after waking up, let the overlord and Yu Ji stay in that era, stay in that story, and our own feelings and stories will eventually need to look forward.
