It took some time to pull the wind moon a second time.
First of all, the word "wind and moon", double hidden film title. Suggesting that the story is opened by the wind and moon place, it is also a metaphor for the feelings of men and women.
The whole is a very depressing film, revealing the darkness and sharpness of Chen Kaige's 90s.
"Wind Moon" is actually very similar to "Overlord Farewell", with multiple emotional clues and special era backgrounds. However, "Wind and Moon" rarely involves the historical background, but the contradictions and conflicts that are grounded in the ground are more complicated. Including the conflict between deformed family affection and multi-line love, the conflict between feudalism and openness, the conflict between Chinese culture and Western culture, the conflict between love and escape, etc., it is precisely because there is too much content to be expressed, so the entire film narrative is dominated by continuous montage, clarifying each story line, and the audience looks relatively smooth. Brush through the wind and moon can review the following scenes with me.
The first is the beginning of the story, Yu Zhongliang pseudonym Xiao Xie and his accomplice Immortal Jump Rich Wife, the rich family wife herself is difficult to protect and also asked "Xiao Xie", the accomplice said lightly "Xiao Xie is dead". A sentence pulled the audience back to the deformed feelings of Yu Zhongliang and his sister ten years ago.
Here the film's foreshadowing is enough, upside down montage Yu Zhongliang's childhood past description is very plump, first recount the results and then release the cause, so the story of Feng Yue is cleverly and closely linked, one link and one link; and the empty eyes of the male protagonist in the play do say "The dead is Yu Zhongliang, and the living is Xiao Xie.".
The second shot is the key to the mansion hanging on Ruyi's body. The Pang family mansion is the epitome of feudal society, male power is supreme, and no one is allowed to step forward, nor is it allowed to be taken. And it is in this compound of the deep mansion where men are respected, Miss Pang hangs a key symbolizing power, dramatically hinting at the ruyi character ending - a feudal puppet.
Here I think of the spring branch of "Cannon Hitting The Double Lights", the biggest commonality of these two female characters is to change the status quo after taking the helm, they want to break the green bricks and green tiles easily, but they can never break the feudal thinking mold. The film put Ruyi's stubbornness when she first became the owner, to the later stage in a fragile feeling with the double pressure of the feudal forces, stubbornness was eroded by reality, and the final compromise of the state of the layer is clearly displayed and interspersed with a lot of details and shots, speaking of this, there is a last straw that has to be mentioned and crushed to death of Ruyi - the male second Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival's counterattack eyes make people think about it very carefully, and it is a perfect combination of pity and hate. In the later stage, if there is time to re-plate, a separate issue of characters will be produced.
The third is the first meeting between Yu Zhongliang and Pang Ruyi ten years later, Yu Zhongliang said that you have stayed here for so long and don't know what is happening outside, free love, equal rights for men and women.
In fact, I still have some opinions of my own at this point. Now the status of women in society is rising, and for men, the social status has not changed, that is, it is not because men lower their status and have more tolerance to achieve equality between men and women, because women themselves have become stronger and won respect, at this point, it is women who are slowly moving closer to men, so this is still unfair. In fact, it is clear from the "ladies first" slogan in public places that women are still in a weak position, and equality is only relative.
The fourth shot is a set of empty shots interspersed when Ruyi is determined not to tangle with Yu Zhongliang anymore, and it is also a lyrical montage that usually appears in movies. The picture shows a dried rose on the table, which is taken away by the maid and replaced with a fresh rose, symbolizing the wishful thinking and the desire to start a new life. I prefer dynamic spatial shots rather than rigid seas or pocket watches. Compared with a fixed lens, the transformed lens is more imaginative.
The fifth is the sound and picture opposition of the movie in 1 hour, 46 minutes and 35 seconds, and the contrast between sadness and joy is worth watching.
In short, "Wind Moon" has flesh and blood.
Although it is not the wind moon in the human world, there is still a wind moon in the human world. There may be some feelings that end up just an encounter, or there may be some encounters that are originally a conspiracy, so what, just have fun while you are young.
