usually martial arts stars do not need very good acting skills. The audience does not look at their movies for acting. However, many famous kung fu superstars are not without acting skills, nor are they just making kung fu movies. For example, Jet Li, Congying. Many classic films have been filmed over the years, some of which are mainly literary and opera works. His martial arts level is very high. The chic and elegant kung fu in the movie makes people feel mesmerized. Because of his high achievements in the field of kung fu movies, people forget that he is also an acting school.
In 2008, Jet Li successfully won the Golden Statue Award and became a new actor, which also established his position in the film and literary world. It was not a kung fu movie that made him award the prize, but a more realistic film "The Appearance ". In addition, Jet Li also set a record, being the only non-Hong Kong actor at the Hong Kong Awards so far, which is not easy.
This movie is more special. It has three male protagonists. In addition to the boss Pang Qingyun (played by Jet Li), the second child Zhao Erhu (played by Andy Lau), and the youngest Jiang Wuyang (played by Takeshi Kaneshiro), their relationship is similar to that of Liu in history. Brother Guan Zhang.
This film is adapted from the famous stab horse case in the late Qing Dynasty. Unlike the past, Chen Kexin, Andy Lau and others have rarely come into contact with war movies. He has had wonderful collaborations with Andy Lau in the films "The Disciples", and with Takeshi Kaneshiro in "If Love".
But this time they all started to experiment with different dramas. The biggest controversy in this film is that it is dressed in the coat of war films. It actually belongs to the literary category in its bones. Chen Kexin is very good at combining art with business. The magnificent war scenes in the
film are still classics in Mandarin movies, but there are many martial arts such as Andy Lau, and Jet Li, who plays the boss of the three brothers, Pang Qingyun, is mainly based on literary drama in this film. Relatively rare.
Jet Li is the best player of the three, but his role in the film is more special. Starting from "Fearless", he has paid great attention to the characterization of characters through literary play in his films. The plot of the film is easy to understand, with the Taiping Rebellion as the background.
Pang Qingyun took Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang from the mountain bandit Kou Bai to the Qing army. In the process of suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, the three began to disagree. Pang Qingyun succeeded in becoming famous, but he attacked his brother Zhao Erhu. The three brothers finally broke. Pang Qingyun also failed to do so.
This is also a rare figure for Jet Li to play a dark-bellied figure. The most exciting part of this film is the sincere monologue when he killed Zhao Erhu. His acting skills are very well reflected.
This film gives people a sense of reality, like several starring Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro, these are all famous handsome guys, and their movies can also reflect handsome in the past. But their image has changed drastically in this film, and they are all dirty. The corpses were everywhere in the war scene, and the dirty and muddy environment made people feel like they were in a real battlefield. What's interesting is that Takeshi Kaneshiro didn't intend to take this play at first.
He has also worked with some well-known actors in the works of "Ambush on Ten Sides" in the past. However, in his works, it is rare for the three major males to star on the same stage. This is also one of his picks. Great taboo. In addition, Takeshi Kaneshiro seldom chooses scenes with very difficult shooting conditions, and he doesn't take many costume shows.
can tell him to join, and Chen Kexin also took a lot of effort. In the film, Jiang Wuyang, played by Takeshi Kaneshiro, is a bit naive, but full of enthusiasm. Unlike Zhao Erhu, Jiang Wuyang is more of a blind worship of the two elder brothers.
When he was finally Ling Chi, Takeshi Kaneshiro’s acting skills were very good and he played the role of Jiang Wuyang. It’s a pity that the release version cut the last paragraph. A nearly 5-minute long shot almost focused on On Takeshi Kaneshiro's facial expressions, it was definitely an actor-level performance.
Andy Lau is different from the previous handsome and chic in the film. He is completely a rash man. Andy Lau has also thought about broadening his own drama. This movie is a good attempt. Zhao Erhu is born a rash man. Andy Lau is very good at him. The character is reflected. The acting skills of the three major actors in this movie burst, but unfortunately it appeared too early. If it were put on the current market, its score and box office would be higher.
