has a song that everyone is familiar with. "The sea laughs and the tide goes on both sides of the strait." This song is "The sea laughs". It was composed by Huang Zhan in 1990. It has been more than 20 years and has been sung today. It is a song from a martial arts movie, "Swordsman and Swordsman" directed by Tsui Hark, and many people still remember it. First of all,
talked about the scenes and editing methods of this movie. At the time, it created a new style of martial arts movies. Another important thing is that the songs of this movie make this movie just like wings. Spread unfailingly within a large range.
The film is about the theft of Ouchikuzang's martial arts secret "Sunflower Treasure". The eunuch in charge of the East Factory, Gu Jinfu, led thousands of households Ouyang Quan and others to investigate the south of Jinyi Weilin Zhennan, who resigned for 7 days. At the same time, the five-sacred leader Zuo Lengchan's external policy response, Huashan Disciples Linghuchong and junior sister Lingshan were ordered by their teachers to reinforce Lin Zhennan, but the two of them were flat and Lin Zhennan was killed. Before he died, he entrusted the whereabouts of the "Sunflower Treasure" to Ling Hu Chong, who took the younger sister and escaped. On the way, he encountered Liu Zhengfeng, the master of Shunfeng Hall, who was washing his hands with a golden basin. Qu Yang, the elder of the Sun Moon God Sect, received the score of "Swordsman Swordsman". Later, he encountered the "Nine Nine Swords of Solitude", a master of Jianzong of Huashan School who was wandering about the rivers and lakes. One after another gathered in the realm of the Miao people, Ouyang Quan and Zuo Lengchan couldn't make any difference, pretending to be Lin Pingzhi and mixing with the Huashan school. Ling Hu Chong met Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang, the god of the sun and the moon. Because of the relationship between the elder Qu, Linghu rushed out of the battle with Dongchang Jinyiwei. However, he unexpectedly came out of the hypocritical face of master Yue Buqun. Not the group fought for "Sunflower Treasure". In the end, Gujinfu was killed by Ouyang Quan? The "Sunflower Treasure" was also taken away by him. Linghu Chong couldn't bear to be implicated, so he used Dugu Nine Swords to defeat Yue Buqun and began to understand the "Swordsman" Really, Linghu finally saw through the world, no longer nostalgic for this world, and determined to retreat to the world with his fellow teachers.
Everyone knows that "Swordsman" is a famous martial arts novel by Mr. Jin Yong. This martial arts novel has a strong taste of political fable, because at that time various factions in Hong Kong, including such sharp opposition in politics, often appeared. The director Tsui Hark made very big changes to "Swordsman".
Tsui Hark’s version of "Swordsman and Swordsman" made changes to Jin Yong's original work.
The first point is to give meaning to the times. It is to put this "Swordsman and Swordsman" to the end of the Ming Dynasty. The era of rampant eunuchs was the era of Wei Zhongxian's usurpation of power. Then this change made the performance of "Swordsman" in the movie more powerful.
The most complicated thing in the novel "The Swordsman" is that the struggle between various schools, like the battle between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Cult, is very complicated. A movie within two hours can hardly express such a complicated contradiction. Director Tsui Hark turned it into the power of the court and the struggle between the rivers and lakes, how to buy the rivers and lakes, how to try to control the rivers and lakes, so he turned it into the official ruling body of the Ming Dynasty, what Jinyiwei, East Factory, West Factory One of the biggest advantages of fighting against the people of the rivers and lakes is that the struggle is simplified. In addition to the rights of the rivers and lakes, there is a higher right, and the people of the rivers and lakes have to fight with them to make the contradiction easier. , The opposition is sharper, and the conflict is more beautiful.
The second point is that after the collaboration between Hu Jinquan and Tsui Hark, the style of the whole film has changed a lot from before. During the entire filming process of "Swordsman", although it was a multi-person collaboration, everyone contributed to the film, which enabled the film to advance gradually on the basis of the new school, so it showed us a , Such a bizarre world. Some changes to the characters in the
film are very successful. It is a metaphor for Lin Pingzhi. The Lin Pingzhi is a fake Lin Pingzhi, and Jacky Cheung is a pretender. He is an undercover staff under the Dongchang factory. Infiltrating the Huashan School, but this character image is very similar to the real Lin Pingzhi, he is extremely distorted in his heart, and has a special desire, so this change makes us look unobtrusive. There is also the leader of the demon cult who advocates the role of the demon cult. The demon cult was originally a main line in the original "Swordsman". It is undefeated in the east, but it has become a runaway here, but Tsui Hark The character of the demon leader is outlined in a few strokes, so that this part has no influence, soThis deletion and inclusion of the title of Ming Dynasty history is also a very effective brushwork for this film, because the main point of the whole film is particularly clear.
What is the spiritual realm of "Swordsman"?
"Swordsman in the Swordsman" through Linghu Chong's mission, shows good and evil, gang power struggle desires, there is a free and easy view of life in pursuit of freedom and uninhibited, Linghu Chong represents this, I don't want to be restricted, I just follow My own temperament is alive, and I don't want to waste my splendid life to control others for power. So this kind of open-minded outlook on life is what Jin Yong wants to express and is the spiritual theme of "Swordsman".
