?My favorite in "The Grandmaster" is Gong Ruomei (Gong Er), the daughter of the Bagua Quan master Gong Yutian. Needless to say, Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are all online. As for the role of Gong Er, there are not many people in the entertainment industry who can support it. In my heart, Zhang Ziyi is the best choice. Throughout the entire movie, she kept her eyebrows down, her makeup was extremely plain, her face was delicate and delicate, and her body was thin, but she still had a kind of ruthlessness coming from her bones.
Speaking of Gong Er, there is a scene in the movie that has to be mentioned - Gong Er goes to the funeral. In this scene, after Gong Ruomei heard that her father died at the hands of her apprentice, she rushed back day and night. It is said that at this time, Zhang Ziyi performed a heartbreaking crying scene, which was touching. Wong Kar-wai at the scene couldn't help but sigh, "Zhang Ziyi's tears are really killing me..." However, this part of the scene was cut out because Wong Kar-wai knew in his heart that the lack of tears after crying was even more deadly. Gong Er was determined to avenge his father. With a determined look, he spoke to his uncle. Some of the words he said were soft but powerful: "My father's words are because he feels sorry for me and wants my life to be easier. But if his revenge is not avenged, I will "My life is not going to get better." They took a step closer. "You have to be merciful, please be merciful. Many things depend on God's will, not on personnel." Gong Er was already filled with grief and anger. Zhang Ziyi's twitching facial expression was really remarkable, but when she opened her mouth, He just said "Maybe I am God's will" and walked away. Looking through the information, I found out that the prototype of Gong Er was based on Shi Jianqiao. It was not too surprising. Shi Jianqiao was originally an admirable strange woman in the Republic of China. She spent ten years avenging her father, and finally killed Sun Chuanfang. She loudly told everyone her identity on the spot. After finding out the reason for the assassination, he surrendered to the police. In the movie, Gong Er devotes himself to Taoism to avenge his father, and keeps his promise throughout his life not to marry, not to stay, and not to pass on his art.
There are not many emotional scenes in the whole movie, but the expressions are very profound. At the beginning of the movie, Ip Man and Gong Ruomei fight in the golden building. Their movements are as beautiful as dancing, and there is already sympathy between their eyebrows. , and then to the letters exchanged were all words of confidants - "Once the agreement is established, there will be no obstacles in the mountains." However, the enemy was fierce and fierce, and this meeting was 15 years late. The last meeting between Gong Er and Ip Man was the only heavy makeup Zhang Ziyi wore in the play. Her lips were very red and she applied thick powder, but it could no longer cover the spots on her face. Gong Er has always been in a repressed and cold state in this drama, but every time he talks to Ip Man, he can always see a rare relaxation. I would sigh softly in my heart. Although she is so powerful, she still has the heart of a daughter. Who can escape the love between a son and a daughter? But when I watched this movie before, I always felt that Zhang Ziyi's performance in the last scene was not good. Because when the play reaches this point, Gong Ruomei already knows that she is not going to die soon. The purpose of meeting Ip Man with heavy makeup is to express her true feelings. The line is also straightforward: "I have had you in my heart. It's okay for me to tell you this. I like it." People don't break the law, but I can only like it." It was supposed to be the most feminine and tender scene, but Zhang Ziyi's expression was too cold, almost devoid of the softness of a woman. When I watched it again today, I suddenly agreed with Zhang Ziyi's handling. Gong Ruomei is naturally a strong woman, and it is easy for her to make decisive decisions. However, showing her dependence in this way exhausted her courage. If at this time, If you don't tighten yourself, you may find it difficult to control yourself. How can the true feelings behind this indifference be compared to the soft words and gentleness of an ordinary woman? Ip Man said, "Life is like a chess game. There are no regrets when you make a move. There is no grudge between us, there is just a fate." I like what Ip Man said. In the end, he just said, "I hope to see the Gong family again one day." Sixty-four hands." Gong Ruomei shed a tear. So does Ip Man have Gong Er in his heart? I believe there must be one. He left a button on the coat he made to go to the Northeast to meet Gong Er, and he kept it with him and hung it on the bedside. I still have to find Gong Ruomei after 15 years, and I will never be without her in my heart. What's more, the sentence in the letter, "Once there were flowers hidden under the leaves, how many times I walked on the snow in my dreams," must have involved many nights of tossing and turning. But just as Gong Er said, why can't he just like her? Many people in the comments said they felt sorry for Gong Er's tears, but I always felt that the relationship between the two of them was more of confidants. When they met, it was already a reunion after a long separation, and even distress and comfort seemed redundant.
?There are not many female characters in "The Grandmaster", but they all stand out. The third sister in Jinlou used Baguazhang and Ye Wen to try her hand. She stepped on the three-inch golden lotus, but she was not inferior to the man at all. She raised her knees and hooked her crotch, and hit her cleanly.
The third sister is played by Zhou Xiaofei, who also practices Bajiquan and Bagua Zhang. It is said that she is also a disciple of the Cheng School in Bajia, which is very consistent with the character in the play. I like the beauty of the third sister. Most of the women in Jinlou have this image. Some are not beautiful and some are quite colorful, but they all have a strong aura in their movements. This is also in line with the saying "There are many people in the dust." He is a person of temperament." One more thing, in the movie, when Gong Yutian took his daughter Gong Er to the Golden Tower, the aunt in the building was singing Peking Opera. It sounded so good. I checked it out and found out that the song she sang was "Silang Visits His Mother", which was about the Northern Song Dynasty. , the story of the Yang family, men, women, old and young, fighting together to resist the invasion of the northern ethnic minorities from the south. It can be regarded as paving the way for the subsequent story of the Japanese invasion, and it was chosen carefully.
After all, it is an action movie. Almost all the female characters in this movie practice martial arts, and they are not inferior to men. The only soft girl is Zhang Yongcheng (Ip Man's wife, played by Song Hye Kyo). I read a lot of movie reviews, and very few people mentioned this character. Even if they did, they would just praise Qiao Mei's beauty. Qiao Mei's role in this film is very small, and she only has two or three lines. She can easily be objectified or ignored in this kind of movie. It goes without saying that Song Hye Kyo is good-looking, but is she really just good-looking? There are two scenes that are very interesting. Ip Man took his wife to the Jinlou to listen to a play. In that era, it was not common for women from good families to go to the hall to listen to a play. The aunt in the building looked at her sideways. She looked back, sat upright, clenched her mouth, and Zhang Yongcheng Obviously he is not an ordinary person, but there is also some subtle panic under this bravery. At this time, Ye Wen held her hand and looked at her. She smiled warmly, then raised her head, her smooth forehead raised high. This was the gesture of a woman relying on the man she loved deeply. Qiao Mei portrayed this change of mentality delicately.
In another scene, the background is the correspondence between Ip Man and Gong Er, and then Ip Man makes coats for the whole family and plans to visit Gong Er in the Northeast. Zhang Yongcheng, wearing a coat, smiled and asked, "Is it so cold in Guangdong?" The scene switched to them taking a family photo. Ip Man put his hand on Zhang Yongcheng's shoulder. Her lips trembled and her eyes filled with tears. In the end, she smiled and held back her tears. Seeing this reminds me of "Lust, Caution". Ang Lee invited Chen Chong to play Tony Leung Chiu-wai's wife in the play. Chen Chong asked Ang Lee, "Does his wife know about Wei Tsai and Tang Wei in the play?" Ang Lee replied "Yes", so Chen Chong took over this movie. In Lust, Caution, from beginning to end, Chen Chong’s attitude towards their affair was never shown. At the end of the movie, after Tang Wei was shot, Wei Zai sat on the bed and cried bitterly. Chen Chong passed by the door without stopping. , yes, she knows it all. Back to "The Grandmaster", regarding the love between Ip Man and Gong Er, Zhang Yongcheng naturally knew what a smart woman she was, but she didn't say anything. This was her wisdom.
There is a mysterious character in the movie - Ding Lianshan (played by Zhao Benshan). Many people said that this character is too mysterious and difficult to understand. I looked up the information about this character. In fact, it is a very exciting story in itself. It’s not an exaggeration to make a movie on its own. In the Northeast, Gong Yuta joined the Tongmenghui and always supported the revolutionary party. Later, in order to suppress the revolutionary party, Zhang Zuolin deliberately released a Japanese samurai who participated in the revolution to cause trouble in the streets. In order to prevent him from leaking more information about the revolutionaries, Gong Yuta Decided to kill him, although senior brother Ding Lianshan has always opposed his relationship with the revolutionary party, at this time, senior brother asked him: Which is more difficult, killing someone and running away with guilt, or supporting a sect alone to promote a martial art? Gong Yutian said of course it was the latter, and Ding Lianshan said, well, I will do the easy one and leave the more difficult one to you. So after committing the murder, he fled south to southern Guangdong, and went to Foshan to hide his name and work as the back cook of Jinlou, calling himself a "ghost". It is said that within a sect, some people have to keep the inside and others have to keep face. If you kill someone to save face, the inside should cover the blood. This is the truth.
Extending from the role of Ding Lianshan, I also have my own understanding of the martial arts in the movie. A sect has dignity and face, and so does the martial arts. The so-called grandmaster in this drama does not only refer to Ip Man, but to the generation of heroes at that time. The three main characters in the play are Ip Man, Gong Er and Yi Yin Tian.
Ip Man is the face of the martial arts world. He has promoted martial arts and passed down countless guises. Gong Er wanted to avenge his father and never taught his skills. She said to Ip Man, "We have never seen martial arts disappear after thousands of years. Why do the Gong family "This is another martial arts world; Yi Xiantian lives in Hong Kong and opens a White Rose Barber Shop. He recruits young gangsters as his apprentices. He is a martial arts master who lives in the market. And is this not a martial arts world?
Every time I watched "The Grandmaster" before, I always felt that the character of Gong Er was better than Ip Man. He dared to love and hate, and was neat and straightforward. Looking back now, I gradually understand that Gong Er has many things that she can't let go of. As she said, "I have seen myself, I have seen the world," but in the end I have not been able to see all sentient beings. As for Ip Man, many words he did not say, but he was more profound than the person who said it. This is probably a person who has seen all living beings.
Finally, let’s talk about the fighting scene. The opening scene of “The Grandmaster” is a fighting scene in the rain. Wei Zai’s moves are handsome and elegant. As the saying goes, martial arts in the world are fast and unbreakable. It echoes with Zhang Zhen’s fighting scene in the rain near the end. In fighting games, he is fierce and fierce, using moves to defeat the enemy. Even people like me who have little research on martial arts will clearly feel two completely different styles. And they are exactly the Wing Chun master Ip Man and the Baji Quan master Yi Yin Tian in the movie. It is said that Zhang Zhen studied Bajiquan for three years for this movie. He did his homework throughout the movie and was full of sincerity.
In fact, there are many particularly exciting aspects in the play, such as the villain played by Zhang Jin, the story of Lao Jiang, the character of Gong Yutian, the encounter between Yi Yidian and Gong Er, the dismantling of the characters in Jinlou, Comparing the editing of the 2D version with the 3D version, there are many beautiful scenes in the film... I can’t write them all in detail. There really aren't many good Chinese-language films in recent years, and even fewer of them are worth savoring. Wong Kar-Wai's movies are always profound and unforgettable. As the saying goes, if you never forget it, there will be repercussions. I look forward to more good movies.
Not counting the ending, at the beginning of the movie, Ip Man’s master personally put on the belt for him and started punching him. He said, "A belt is breathable. Once you put on this belt, you are a martial arts practitioner. From now on You have to live by this breath!"
Life is like a play, so how can you not live by this breath? ! AddT?D?C?T
