This is a restless movie.
is a movie that makes people's adrenaline soar regardless of men and women.
It is anxious and vigorous, rough and full of fun, and in addition to feeling the harsh style, it can make you full of fantasy and salivation for its role.
It is hard to imagine that this is a man drama or a martial arts work.
But this is the fact, the works of both men and martial arts can be so full of passion and magic.
This work is "Master".
"Master" mainly tells a period of grievances and hatred in Tianjin martial arts circle during the Republic of China.
Master Chen Shi (played by Liao Fan) took the local youth Geng Liangchen (played by Song Yang) as his apprentice in order to gain a foothold in the opening of the martial arts center in Tianjin. Great change. At first, the two had their own concerns, but after experiencing some "life and death catastrophe", they gave birth to indescribable affection. The master used to promote martial arts as a lifelong sustenance. The apprentice was only a means by which he used to realize his dreams, but he was inadvertently tied to his fate; the apprentice flew bravely and resolutely, but always insisted on his mission at important junctures. Although they still had their original intentions, they couldn't bear their true feelings.
This film has six highlights in the eyes of a young woman.
Aspect 1: One emperor and two queens flash back to the end of the First World War.
The movie "Master" brings together Berlin actor Liao Fan, Golden Rooster Queen Song Jia, and Duo Xi Shadow Queen Jiang Wenli, a super lineup led by an emperor and two queens has become one of the guarantees of the quality of the film. The literary and artistic actors flashed back to the martial arts world to break through the image of the Republic of China. Liao Fan worked hard to practice eight swords to dedicate the top secret of Wing Chun, Song Jia transformed into a "smoke beauty" to interpret the charm of cheongsam, and Jiang Wenli changed the literary style to interpret the "ultimate boss".
Aspect 2: Golden Horse Best Action Design Award-winning film
52nd Taiwan Golden Horse Awards "Master" from "Huang Feihong Heroes Have Dreams", "Slaying the Wolf 2", "Take Tiger Mountain 3D", "Assassin" "Nie Yinniang" successfully broke through and won the Best Action Design Award in four excellent films.
Aspect 3: Xu Haofeng's multiple roles to create "Xu's martial arts"
Xu Haofeng is also a writer, director, screenwriter, martial arts director and other multiple identities in "Master". His profound understanding of martial arts literature and traditional martial arts makes his work unique. Tree one grid.
Aspect Four: Wong Kar-wai-style rhyme lines
As one of the screenwriters of "The Great Master", Xu Haofeng integrated the art of lines into the movie "Master". The clean but long lines are integrated with the background of the martial arts in the last period of the Republic of China, with long gowns, cheongsams, warriors, and western houses. The sound and picture fit together to make the whole film of "Master" as beautiful as a fixed picture.
Aspect Five: Those things in the martial arts of the Republic of China in Tianjin
"Master" takes the troubled times of Tianjin of the Republic of China as the background, the warriors are declining, the warlords are gradually rising, and the struggle of all parties put Tianjin in a troubled situation.
Aspect Six: In addition to Wing Chun’s compulsory weapon "6:30 Cudgel",
also disclosed for the first time the extremely dangerous and deadly Wing Chun top secret "Eight Swordsman".
Then we are talking about martial arts movie
martial arts movie really dead?
This is a question worth thinking about.
has to admit that the current martial arts movies can only be regarded as lingering alive compared to the surging era of the last century; there is no market, no box office, and no fixed crowd of moviegoers.
Maybe many people are very puzzled, why the genre film that was once so thriving has been so desperate; whether the era of martial arts films has passed or this audience is not good.
is not in my opinion. The
era is changing, but martial arts movies have stopped in place.
repertoire of tricks and demolition of tricks, patterned flying over the wall.
makes martial arts films stay at the production level of the eighties forever.
is nothing new, so where can the audience come.
But this martial arts film is completely unconventional. It abandons routines and abandons the fixed model; it gives the martial arts film a contemporary annotation in a stylish and boring way. Although
is not satisfactory from the box office point of view, there is still much room for improvement from the perspective of degree.
but its existence is at least proved.
martial arts movies are still alive, and they can live full of vitality.
In fact, this is not a martial arts film in the traditional sense.
Compared to Jin Yong's vertical and horizontal rivers and lakes, happy and enmityThe world of martial arts; or Wang Jiawei's unique martial arts works of hatred and grievances; Xu Haofeng seems to have a different definition of martial arts.
In the works of other masters, Jianghu is the Garden of Eden.
has the guts and courage, the tenderness of children, and the drunkenness of life and death. In this martial arts world, the martial arts and the rules are the shackles of anti-jianghu; so it must be broken and happy.
Only free and unrestrained is the purpose of pursuit.
In fact, most viewers prefer this kind of martial arts world. There are no rules and shackles, only joy and enmity and happiness; this is a world that all people living in the law want to pursue.
But the real arena is not like this.
There are rivers and lakes where there are people.
This is a line designed by Cheng Xiaodong in "Invincible in the East".
is actually hiding in the downtown area, wherever there are people, it can be a world of its own. And the knights who are in the arena; they also have to be cannibalized and restrained.
So where there are rivers and lakes, there are rules.
This is Xu Haofeng’s final definition of the rivers and lakes. In the martial arts world constructed by Xu Haofeng; the rules are like a hanging sword at the top, and the so-called rivers and lakes must be respected and orderly and distinct; this is an extremely dogmatic and The stereotyped way to define the arena.
but also the most real arena. If
is in the arena, you must follow its rules.
A bullying compromise.
This is the truest aspect of martial arts movies. All the decent, chivalrous and courageous people are not as good as satiated.
But this is the little girl's favorite clip.
Because this kind of martial arts film is really "hard"
, but it is a favorite of young women.
And outside the men's play, women have also become the unspeakable surprise of the film. Beautiful legs and cheongsam have also become the highlights of the film! In Song Jia's interpretation,
made this interest a man's dream experience.
Even though this is a hormonal drama for men, Song Jia's charming performance shows the tenderness of martial arts; the whole film is hard but domineering, and gentle but with a variety of styles.
The great man is for the country and the people.
This is what Jin Yong said through Guo Jing's mouth in "The Legend of Condor Heroes".
and domestic martial arts films are in need of this start, simple and solid footsteps. Just as "The Return of the Great Sage" proved the capability of domestic animation, and "Scorching Sun" verified the possibility of domestic police and criminal films, then "Master" should be a movie that verifies the capabilities of domestic martial arts films.
