"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is directed by Ang Lee , Chow Yun-fat , Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi and other co-stars. The film tells the story of a generation of hero Li Mubai who intends to quit the arena, and entrusts her confidant Yu Xiulian to bring her Qingming sword to the capital as a gift for Lord Baylor to collect. Li Mubai's move to retire from the rivers and lakes actually caused more grievances in the rivers and lakes.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" finally won many records, the most important of which was 's 73rd Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and other 4 awards. is the first film in the history of Chinese-language films, , to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film; is also the only film that has won an Oscar so far.
Foreign media gave this film a very high evaluation. At the same time, it is also the representative work of Chinese film at the Oscars, and its status in the history of Chinese films is very important. Ang Lee also became famous internationally with this film, and since then he has opened his own era. In addition, Zhang Ziyi also became famous because of this film, thus establishing the status of " International Chapter ".
watched this movie in 2000. Many people should not understand it. This should be the reason why the domestic box office was not good at that time. But looking back at it now, it's definitely a very good movie. The action scenes in the
movie are well designed, especially in the fight scene between Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong in the bamboo forest. Of course, director Ang Lee must have borrowed from Hu Jinquan 's movie " Heroes " . Comparing the two, I feel that director Hu Jinquan's bamboo forest scenes are better, and they are also fighting scenes. Director Hu Jinquan designed the scenes in the underground bamboo forest, where the light and sunlight come in, like a beautiful painting; Director Ang Lee designed it above the bamboo forest, through the The big screen gives people a very spiritual feeling.
In addition, the film's action guide is " the world's first martial arts " Yuan Heping , there are also many cold weapons in the movie. Especially the female No. 2 Zhang Ziyi, who performed very well in fighting; these credits are mainly attributed to the action coaching team. In addition to Yuan Heping, Kou Zhanwen and Zhang Jin also participated, Kou Zhanwen participated in the action design, Zhang Jin is the most important stand-in.
This movie can be accepted by the United States and Western countries, and there are naturally some points that attract them. In the film, Ang Lee also shows many of our own elements, but his proper expression has been understood and accepted by Europeans and Americans.
Since then, there have been many excellent martial arts films in domestic films, but none of them can surpass Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. For example, Zhang Yimou 's " hero " , I remember that English textbooks in high school have introduced them. There are also martial arts movies such as , "Huo Yuanjia" and "Famous Name" , which are quite good in China.
The most unfortunate thing is Wu Yusen " Sword Rain " , originally had great hopes, and the final box office was not ideal; but now it looks definitely a classic movie. ThisThe lineup of the film was very strong at the time; the actors included Michelle Yeoh, Zheng Yusheng , Wang Xueqi , Xu Xiyuan and other co-stars.
Next, Chinese movies have declined in the field of action. Although there is Donnie Yen 's "Ip Man" series, the acceptance rate abroad is not very high. , not a martial arts movie.
In recent years, the only martial arts film that can be taken out is the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series, which makes people see a little rejuvenation of martial arts films, and seems to see a little hope. But now is the era of commercial films, it is very difficult to make excellent martial arts films.
Now the action actors are also not connected, but now is the era of special effects, and there is no good action director. I think it will be difficult for a martial arts movie to surpass "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the future. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is destined to be a milestone in the history of Chinese movies.
