"One Knife Allure" became very popular. In fact, the fighting scenes in the original version of "One Knife Allure" were criticized by many people, saying that Wuda moves too fast and lacks the layering and beauty of the moves. Sometimes it even feels like watching a game, which is too The extra shots flying around seem unnecessary!
Naturally, Li Yi would not make such a mistake. In addition, times are different. The actions and routines jointly designed by Master Yuanba and Mr. Yu can be said to have both beauty and impact.
The action scenes and fighting scenes in the entire movie are no longer flaws, but have become one of the selling points.
In addition, "One Knife Fall" itself is very good, and in this era, people are not like Hong Kong Island when "One Knife Fall" was released and had not yet returned.
Many of us know that there are some historical plots that only we ourselves can understand and resonate with.
Movies like "One Knife" don't give much thought to the Waifu market, but there is no need to worry about the local market.
Just like film critic Du Xianghai said: "We always need to recall a little bit of troubled times!"
"'One Knife' can become a hit movie on the big screen in today's era of martial arts decline. We all can't help but wonder, why?
Is there any difference between this film and other martial arts films in recent years?
In fact, there are not a few martial arts films like "One Knife, All That" that combine historical events, so why is "One Knife, All That" unique?
On the contrary, there are very few foreshadowings outside the movie, which are all shown through lines.
Eighth, the beauty of the aftertaste. The movie "One Knife, Allure" does not have a strong aftertaste. At the end of the movie, Yuan Shikai died, and Huang Zhi and others successively led Yuan Shikai's footsteps and sacrificed their lives for righteousness. The movie ends in a strong sense of tragedy, and everything has begun. But has it all begun?
Tan Sitong is the villain outside the movie, sir, but in reality, the movie did not deliberately vilify that character!
But this era is the same!
In fact, every era needs people who get off the bus to write, people who sacrifice generously, and people who are surrounded by beautiful people. The only thing they need is not the silent crowd watching the sacrifice, whether it is strange to behead someone or not. Is it even more surprising whether the onlookers are sad or happy? The national spirit and the rhythm of the action were shot quite wrongly. It was tragic and desolate. Xiaodao Wangwu looked at the conflict between change and conservatism as a bystander, and he himself became a victim of the times. But old China must have needed it. Is there anyone who can step forward? If you take the first step, there will be no cure for the disease in the future.
In fact, when Wang Wu went to rescue Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai said, if you leave, no one will die if you want revolution. If you die first, if you use your blood, some people will be awakened.
Those were Wang Wulin's heroic words after his death. Maybe somewhere in the dark, the dead Huang Zhi would be toasting to him.
Is it "Allure with One Knife"? Apparently yes!
So the scene outside the opening of the film of a group of young men carrying knives and slashing at the Japanese military camp was reenacted at the end of the film.
Sijin died to protect Yuan Shikai's spiritual tablet. Wang Wu regretted that he could not kill Tan Sitong, and then he hated the sky.
When you rarely watch a movie, you just want to enjoy it and find out some small meanings from it. This is the right choice.
First of all, this is a martial arts film, so the first thing you should focus on is not the design of action martial arts moves.
Some people are obsessed with the fact that "One Sword of the City" transforms a few characters into martial arts, such as Yuan Shikai, Huang Zhihui, Prince Yi, and the princess. They have all become martial arts masters. They feel that it is not nonsense, and it also touches on historical nihilism. .
For example, when leaving the city, Si Jin had just finished saying that the future would be without you, and immediately he was bumped into by someone because the aisle was too white;
The beauty of cold blood!
You always need to recall a little bit of troubled times, because people in modern society are almost not completely occupied by scraps and trivialities.
The opening chapter of "One Knife, Allure the City" sets a tragic and heroic tone.
The "Eight Bright" figures in Qiyue include: Flower Boxing King Buting, Magic Hand Ao Bai, and Xiao Nei Jailer Yu Wanshan.
So what kind of movie can be called a bad movie?
There was a rise and fall in the sky outside a certain eight countries, and the inexplicable and laugh-out-loud lines like Pi Nan's not responsible are really evident when compared with "One Knife to Fall the City"!
This is the capital of Qiyue without you!
I am personally very interested in the history of the late Qing Dynasty. Modern history since the late Qing Dynasty can be separated from today's China. Very rarely, it is often in such troubled times that the true feelings of family and country are shown, as well as the pride that goes beyond the humiliation of flies and dogs.
In an era where heroes are judged by success or failure, there is always no cold blood to pay homage to the grave spirits.
But the director's technique is very artistic, and the seven main supporting characters are exposed and hidden, leaving room for the audience to make associations.
When the plot is true to history, it's bound to be a tragedy. Victory or defeat is a tragedy, life or death, still escaping is a tragedy.
It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times, maybe it is because of this, right?
The martial arts instruction team of "One Sword Allure" is Yuan Jiaban and Mr. Yu. It cannot be said that they are definitely the Taishan Beidou in that industry.
"One Knife" is a martial arts film. In addition to your concept, martial arts films must be fought, and they must be dull. Even if they are bloody and bloody, at best they have to be punched to the flesh, and at worst, the audience like you in the venue will have adrenal glands. Quality soared. If the plot is always weak, it would be better to watch this or that movie. Of course, in order to get enough fighting scenes, it is okay to shape the character with only muscles left. You think that is respecting Xiaojia's IQ.
For example, the prince said he hated himself for winning; another example is that Yu Wanba, played by Cheng Hu, has been in prison for more than ten years. It is very unlikely that he was tired of fighting in the world. Before Wang Wu won the competition, he stopped me from taking away Yuan Shikai, which shows that Although they both work for the prince, they may not be the same as Bu Ting;
Friends who have watched that movie may appreciate the "beauty" of that movie. Where is the beauty?
You smile to the sky from your horizontal sword and save your liver and gallbladder!
Let’s talk about these foreshadowings outside the movie!
I have always been a self-pitying person, and that's why, even before I was betrayed by Tan Sitong, I didn't blame others, but chose to die generously!
But in the film, Huang Zhihui’s words still moved you, maybe because there is no such person in history. "You laugh at the sky with your sword, but leave your liver and gallbladder behind." A martyr intends to use his own martyrdom to prove that the Tao does exist and is worth pursuing, regardless of defeating his opponents and the bystanders around him.
But watching a movie is not actually a 2-hour dream. Martial arts is of course also a type of dream. Naturally, one must take reality too seriously when dreaming. It is worse than a desolate forest in a wild store, and a knife may not be able to fight against the cold muzzle of a gun; the princes in the temple, such as Tan Sitong, or even a concubine outside the palace, may not be able to show their true identity. Mountains are like dew for martial arts masters.
Secondly, the lines, yes, yes, it’s him, Director Gou, what is the deepest impression left on people in “One Knife, All That”?
Wang Wu's eldest apprentice broke out of the siege and became the only survivor. I held two swords and glared at the sky, and my eyebrows looked very much like my master Huang Zhi. What other stories will happen in the future? After my confidante came to Wang Wu's tomb, she paid homage to me. Under the tombstone was engraved "The Tomb of My Friend Wang Wu", and then turned around and left. In your heart, is Wang Wu just a friend of mine? I am sure that the times allow you to control your own destiny and make a choice, maybe it is a lover?
The characters and dramatic conflicts are objective, three-dimensional, right and wrong, which is one of the advantages of that movie. Have you created heroes in order to highlight their image? Have you vilified adults in order to highlight your heroic image? Compared with many martial arts movies, it is precious that that movie can do that.
To summarize, here are some of my humble opinions on the movie.
"One Sword Allure" is not this kind of pretentious, with some ambiguous and pretentious lines.
And outside the monument of famous heroes from previous lives, there is another name missing.
Because everyone lives in his own humble world.
What about the first mountain?
The actions and routines we designed not only seem to lack the beauty of martial arts, but they are also lethal. The most rare thing is that all the actors in the play have considerable martial arts skills. Actors such as Wu Jun and Zhao Qian , they all have very bad martial arts skills, so the quality of the fight scenes is, to put it politely, worse than today's martial arts scenes where you can't release a cannonball if you stretch your hand carefully, it's too little, too little;
At the beginning of the movie, Xiaojia went to eradicate the rebellious Tan Sitong and avenge Tan. The result was natural victory. After all, "the play is nonsense, and the adaptation is random fabrication." According to history, Tan Sitong still lived for a long time. The screenwriter was too bad to treat me. When writing about death, it can only be about heroes surrendering to death and heroes bearing hatred. There is no trace of pathos in the feelings of family and country. The only big dark tail is that the apprentice of Little Knife King Wu has escaped. In the words of the film, "As long as he is not there, there will never be a Little Knife Team." "If he can leave tonight, there will be no tomorrow."
Huang Zhihui said that the victory or defeat was decided, Wang Wu said, yes, but life and death were not decided.
First, the beauty of appearance. The toned muscles of the patriotic warrior at the beginning of the film, the elegant and moving princess in the film, the bland martial arts design, and the oil-paper umbrella held up at the end of the film... are too few to leave an impression on people.
For example, Tan Sitong at the city gate said that the city gate, like the monument outside, would record the little things in the future of eight people, highlighting that he was a person who took his personal future very seriously;
In fact, it may not be appropriate to regard that movie as a simple martial arts film. Although Wang Wu has the least scenes in the whole movie, Yuan Shikai's death is actually the real spirit of the movie.
The common characteristics of those eight people: they have lived in the capital for a long time, they are all imperial eagle dogs, they are fond of martial arts, they have lower martial arts seniority, they are similar in age, and their martial arts level is relatively small.
Of course, that kind of "xia" cannot be a strong man who keeps in mind the four little words "for the country and the people, a small chivalrous person" and wanders between rivers, lakes and temples, just like Wang Wu outside "One Sword of the City". He doesn't quite have the spirit to sacrifice his life to go to a national disaster and regard death as a sudden return. There must be no spirit at all. Martial arts movies are just martial arts movies. It would be worse to call them martial arts movies. Or they are not Bai Gang movies at all. They mainly help Xiaojia vent his inner violent tendencies.
The era lacks heroes, because heroes always transcend the era.
I'm sure it's just a movie plot, you'll think it's too fake. But it is less than half true. Modern people have no way of understanding this era of heroes a hundred years later, and they have no way of understanding these bloody daughters. In today's era, no matter how little blood he shed, he would still be able to awaken a person.
Watching a movie like that will always make people unable to resist reliving this period of history, and it will also produce a strong sense of tragedy and desolation, complaining for us in their hearts, and recognizing and loving us. That kind of emotion cannot transcend the barriers of time and space. It is spiritual interdependence and admiration. It is precisely in this way that heroes like Yuan Shikai also understand that no one will take their own path before, and they are lonely.
Personally, I think the great humor adds a lot to the film, and it plays a modulating role in the serious and compact plot.
It cannot be said that the seven main supporting characters in the movie are used to set off the weak martial arts of Xiao Dao Wang Wu.
When Wang Wu wanted to borrow the knife, Yu Wanba, who occasionally spoke arrogantly, paused for a few seconds, indicating that I was thinking about why Wang Wu borrowed the knife, and the reason why he agreed to borrow the knife must be because he understood Wang Wu's Although the intentions, hints under the plot and the presentation of relevant details can be said to be profound, they are not enough for a martial arts film.
Who is it? "
Brother Tan, the hero is noisy, you are here.
Qingcheng's sword chopped off Shaoduo Lengxue.
Outside the prison of history, there is a proud man missing.
You can say that a small part of the lines in the play are concise and weak, and have no deep meaning. The heroism and ambition of the characters are also very well displayed in the lines, which shows how much effort has been put into it; of course, some of the lines are really lacking in quality. It feels modern, but there is no fundamental sense of incompatibility with the times, so the overall impact is not very small. In comparison, many current films give people the feeling that they are not wearing ancient clothes and acting in modern times. Romantic dramas, even bloody dramas;
"One Sword of the City" is obviously this kind of movie. Martial arts and martial arts must of course reflect the spirit of "chivalry". That kind of "chivalry" cannot be a knight with a white horse and a gold guard, walking in the rivers and lakes. We are reborn and die, and we promise again. , the common man is angry and bleeds for seven steps;
sense of humor!
It's a line!
In reality, even Huang Zhihui has never had a unique sense of humor. Although it is so obvious, it is not noticeable.
But that movie wasn't always depressing. The setting of Si Jin's chatterbox and the setting of You Zongsheng's big and small characters all seemed like the director was trying his best to downplay this sense of depression.
Some of the hints and relevant details in the plot are also very bad!
The first one has very few settings for you.
Seventh, the beauty of the lines. "The motherland is not a country. There is no family. The sky is so small that there is no place for you, King Wu." "The small country is stained with blood on the yellow sand road. Death in the sky is very different." "The red sun sets in the west and never rises again. Time."... The heroic and tragic words uttered from the hero's mouth shocked people even more. In the movie, there is no dialogue between Wang Wu and the princess. You always think that this dialogue between the characters is the dullest and most touching dialogue in any martial arts movie you have ever seen. The tenderness of the hero and the nostalgia of the beautiful man are both a decisive decision and a confession. A relationship that is shackled by the world begins, sublimates, disperses, and fades in the dialogue, which is so touching.
