Pippi Movie / A wonderful movie every day recommended
1989.
The 32-year-old director He Ping would not have imagined that the film he produced in the Western Desert this year would make him famous in two years.
never thought that this film, which is different from other orthodox films, would be rebroadcasted continuously by CCTV movie channel for 23 years, becoming an immortal "monument" of domestic western films. The film
is the "Swordsman in Double Flags Town"
(the movie channel started broadcasting in 1996 and has been on the air for 26 years, and "Swordsman in Double Flags Town" is repeated several times a year)
"Swordsman in Double Flags Town" script The first draft was written by Yang Zhengguang and later edited and directed by He Ping. The
film was all over the loess, and the sandy western desert was shot. The streetscape of Shuangqi Town, which was built for 200,000 yuan, was depressed, and the clothes of the characters were in tatters.
However, its story is simple and thought-provoking, and the goodness and ugliness of human nature are fully exposed, but it is worth pondering.
and viewers who have watched it often comment like this: simple and rude, no line is nonsense

, the world is difficult to meet the swordsman. After his death, he left a son named Haige, who practiced the Promise Sword Technique with his father since he was a child, and he has obtained the true teachings. But the boy is kind by nature, outspoken and unintended, lacking experience in the world, and cowardly and fearful, so he is not taken seriously by anyone.
Followed his father's will and went to Shuangqi Town to find his father’s lame follower, and asked the lame to marry him the daughter whom he had discussed with his father and was married.
He met the old Jianghu Shalifei along the way. When he learned that he was carrying money for marriage, Shalifei flicked half of his money.
arrived in Shuangqi Town, and his brother quickly found the home of the lame, the future old man, but was rejected by the lame and his daughter.
It turned out that when the Promise Swordsman was there, the lame followed up and out like a stalker, and he took the initiative to betroth his daughter to the Swordsman's son. He originally wanted to find a good backer for his daughter. Unexpectedly, the swordsman passed away so soon, leaving behind a silly son with no skills and no skills, but he was still uneasy after giving his daughter to such a yellow-haired boy.
Although the cripple is not rich, he runs a small pub and his business is pretty good. Therefore, the lame man was unwilling to agree to his brother's proposal, but left him to fight in the tavern, hoping that he could live here at ease.
is involuntary in the arena, sometimes you don't want to cause trouble, but if you are in trouble, you come to your door.
A few uninvited guests came to the tavern one day. They are bandits who entrenched around Shuangqi Town. Their bosses are powerful and cruel, and they are similar to the flying dragons in "Knife". They are all big bosses with few words. .
The bandits were full of food and drink, touched the lame house, and saw the beautiful and beautiful girl, they caught her to be wild in the tavern. The people drinking in
saw the ugly behavior of the bandits, and they dared not speak, turned their heads aside and pretended not to see them.
When the lame drove out and saw it, he only dared to kneel on the ground and begged and did not dare to resist.
Only the boy ran out from inside to stop drinking. After being bullied by the bandits, he finally couldn't bear to draw his sword.
saw the bandits fall to the ground, but no one could see the kid's knife. The
bandit is dead, and the boy is considered to have formed a beam with Yidaoxian, and got into big trouble.
The lame man is afraid that his brother’s life will not be saved, so he asks him to keep it overnightPicking up his luggage, and rushing to escape from Shuangqi Town with a good girl at dawn, he was surrounded by villagers who came to hear the wind, just not letting him go.
Brother Hai also lacks confidence in being an enemy of Yidaoxian, he thought of going to Shalifei, but Shalifei fudged the remaining half of the money.
Soon, a gang of bandits and bandits killed Shuangqi Town, and he got off the horse and walked into the town step by step. The boy brother
has already been waiting there, ready to fight with him. There are still righteous people in the town of
. The cripple, the blacksmith, and the drunkard all want to stop Yidaoxian, but he cut the knot and went down to receive the lunch.
waited for Yi Dao Xian to walk step by step in front of his brother, and his brother drew out the two knives again. At this time, the wind and sand suddenly came, blocking the sight of the audience. We don't know how the two of them fought. After the wind and sand passed, Yidaoxian fell down.
Speaking of this, we are very capable of seeing that this is just the advantage of the film creators. Mainland movies have always been shortcomings in the action design. Therefore, the film creators simply abandon those gorgeous actions and refer to the style of American Western films. Killed directly.
As for why the boy can always "get things out of the air" and "suck" the two knives tied to his calves into his hands?
If you have watched the "Star Wars" series, you will definitely understand. Isn't this a simple "Force" effect? At the end of the
movie, the old Jianghu Shalifei appeared again, and left without saying a word.
And the boy brother left Shuangqi Town with his good sister after the lame was buried.
In fact, the original intention of the original creators of the Xi'an Film Studio was to shoot a Chinese version of the western film. Therefore, there are a lot of scenes imitating the classic western movie "Red Dead Redemption" in the film, and even the appearance of a knife duel completely copied the western film. In the film, the cowboys are fighting with guns.
Boy has only made three cuts in the whole film, one is to cut meat; the other is to kill bandits; the third is to kill a sword, and only the cut of meat allows the audience to see clearly.
Some people say that this is an ancient dragon-like artistic conception. In fact, the real master showdown often determines the winner in an instant, and the movie also obviously contains the traditional style of western films.
Deserts, sandstorms, lone rangers, small towns, bandits, these are the standard features of Western movies.
However, the portrayal of cowardice and ugly human nature, and the affirmation of the arrogance of the rivers and lakes are the characteristics of martial arts movies.
It is precisely because of these two characteristics that "Swordsman in Double Flag Town" can be recognized by Chinese and Western filmmakers. It not only won the Top Ten Chinese Film Awards at the 11th Hong Kong Film Awards, but also won the 43rd Berlin International Film Critics Awards at the International Film Festival.
However, it is a pity that "Swordsmen in Double Flag Town" was released in 1991, creating a peak of domestic western films, but it also became a swan song. In the 28 years after this time, there was no domestic similar film. Can surpass it.
