During this period of time, people are eagerly discussing the news, and our domestic Mulan has already been released. The movie
is "Wu Shuang Hua Mulan", the director is Chen Cheng, Wu Jianfei, Wei Wei and Hu Xueer, etc. starring, I met you on May 7th this year. The story in
took place in the Northern Wei Dynasty, when the Rouran Army suddenly invaded the border of the country. In order to perform the duties of a military household on behalf of the elderly father, Hua Mulan entered the army as a man. Later, she experienced a series of things and gradually grew up. .
However, as soon as this movie was released, many people complained about it. They thought that the name of this movie was not good, and the plot was also dull, even for five minutes. But is it really that bad for a movie that is judged this way? There is no absolute thing about
. Even the movies that have been complained so much have their bright spots. Here are three aspects to talk about, where are its advantages.
Hua Mulan’s frustration in joining the army has long been destined to
1, the background of the time that Hua Mulan is in,
, she was originally an ordinary girl, but she changed after the Rouran army's invasion. At that time, every household had to have a person to join the army, and her family had only an elderly father and a little brother. In this case, she had to replace her father on the expedition. She did not expect that she made a lot of credit on the battlefield. After returning, she was named "General Xiaolie" by the emperor. She was a very representative figure in the Southern and Northern Dynasties of China. When
mentioned her name, I believe that most of what she thinks of is the content in the previous textbook "Mulan Ci", and another work called "Yuefu Double Wall". The "Mulan Ci" in the textbook is the prototype of many later adapted works, and each one is imagined based on it.
2, the reason why Hua Mulan appeared:
There are two guesses about which dynasty Hua Mulan is. On the one hand, she is believed to be from the Northern Wei and Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the other is the Taiwu Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, in my opinion, the latter is more likely.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, people’s thinking was very conservative. Women are not allowed to enter the army. Moreover, men disguise themselves as women and enter the barracks to fight. Such things must be beheaded. The author is going to do the opposite, using another angle to satirize the thoughts of the inferiority of men and women in that dynasty, and at the same time use exaggerated techniques to show the image of women.
may not have the character of Mulan in real history, but there are women who disguise themselves as men and enter the military camp to fight. Not only show personal color style, but also inspire the younger generation to fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield.
uses delicate techniques to express Hua Mulan’s personal image, through family love and friendship, etc. to make this character image more layered
The quality of a movie requires not only a creative and complete plot, but also a character creation. success. In this work, the director uses a zero-degree narrative technique to put the director and the audience at an equal angle, so that they can better understand history. Seeing the contest between beauty and cruelty in war has aroused people's deep thinking.
then uses emotions such as family and friendship to create Mulan in the eyes of the director, then to the person in the eyes of the individual, and then to the appearance of the eyes of others. From this aspect, at least three or four characters from different angles have been created. The changes in Hua Mulan's feelings and emotions are shown in front of the audience, so that everyone can better substitute in this character and understand the difficult life in the barracks.
1, Huahuo represents family affection
Huahuo is her father. When he appeared in the movie, he went to seek marriage for her daughter. However, unexpectedly, the master said that her daughter is not married, and there may be a big one. Robbery. As a father, I naturally want to solve this trouble for his daughter.
When I heard the expansion of the armyAt the end, he knew that he was about to face two possibilities, one was a triumphant return, and the other was to die in battle. The only worry in my heart is my own pair of children, so I asked my wife to take good care of her and find a good marriage for her daughter. However, after hearing her father's cough, Hua Mulan rushed to the barracks overnight, creating a filial image.
2, Li Liang and Yuan Hong represent the friendship
. At the beginning, when attacking the enemy, Hua Mulan believed that others would not hurt herself, and she would not kill them. This idea is a woman's thinking. But in a later war, she and Yuan Hong were caught, and Yuan Hong was beheaded. When she saw her friend die in front of her, she really understood that on the battlefield, no one can avoid it. Disappointed. Here, either you die or I die, so the most important thing is to constantly improve your strength so that you can protect the people you like. Therefore,
, the two friends of , as the most important supporting roles, are helping her change her heart. From the beginning with a bit of a woman's thoughts, he later became a real general .
3. Tuoba Shuo represents love. The goddess
said that she has no marriage, but needs an opportunity, and this opportunity is Tuoba Shuo. Because he was caught, Hua Mulan was going to save him. In this rescue, the two people had a lot of contact. Especially from the shots she danced for, it can be seen that the feelings between them are changing subtly. At this time, he asked Hua Mulan to leave with him, but Hua Mulan wanted to stick to this empty city.
can understand the other's mind, but they all know that in the chaotic war, the love of children is not worth mentioning.
4. The people and the masses represent the responsibility
When they came in to protect the people, the people in the city came out to welcome them, but because some of the people in this group of people brought enemies into the city, they were bloodbathed overnight. Up. Looking at so many people who died, this was a great blow to Hua Mulan, and she had a big change in her heart. She wanted to become a general who killed all enemies in the square!
Lens brilliance: Use the lens to show the audience the war, the light and color highlight the changes in the heart
1, use the panorama and perspective to express the war
In this movie, the life of war will be used to show the panorama and perspective. You can see that the picture at that time was very magnificent, and the aura was very powerful. With such a lens, you can highlight the cruelty of the war and get a more real experience of the situation at that time.
2, natural light, with natural brilliance to express the difficult environment of the border
Because in ancient times, there were no tools such as electric lights and flashlights, so in order to restore the history more truly, the director used the candles on the scene, or torches. To highlight the light, and such a picture can be more real. At the end of
, the people in the city had been trapped for fifteen days, and they had spent it without water and food. Finally at this time, Hua Mulan decided to take the initiative to attack. When the sun rose, the light was from bottom to top. This kind of natural light showed her tall and glorious side.
3. Use different tones to highlight different visual feelings.
has two tones in this movie, one is yellow, the yellow that is filled with loess in the sky and the bright yellow that the sun shines. This is undoubtedly a symbol of the hope that everyone can win the war, stop suffering from the war, and return home safely. The other is the red blood sprinkled by soldiers when they die. These show the heroic fighting of soldiers, highlight their vigorous vitality, and make a sharp contrast with the cruelty of war.
Conclusion
The image of Mulan has long been engraved in people’s hearts, so on this basis, directors and screenwriters need to add their own image and creativity, not only to ensure that the true side of history is restored, but to increase Something fresh and unseen. Although everyone has a lot of complaints about this movie, if you look carefully, you will find that there are actually many bright spots.
