Killing and Fantasy on the Yellow Land——In 1997, China and Hong Kong co-produced the martial arts movie "Dragon City First Moon"

.

contacted Zhang Yimou’s values ​​and felt that he had always been like this. If you don’t imagine that the perpetrator still has a trace of humanity, where is the hope of pigs and sheep? After all, it’s just pigs and sheep. They have neither the ability nor the will to become a creature higher than pigs and sheep. If you don’t imagine yourself, self-sacrifice is meaningful and valuable. How can you paralyze yourself to live? ——Please forgive me for being mean.

"I'm already struggling to ride a tiger, you should go to another life"...

I really want to spray the screen.

is only a Hong Kong actor. Wu Qianlian, who has a paralyzed face from beginning to end, gave this show a kind of determination and coldness that cannot grow on the yellow earth. The elegant and slinky atmosphere of the book belongs to the gloomy haze of the old and the new. Gray and green, but out of the violent red, yellow, and black that are always dragged down by memory in the movie, so they are always alienated. It's just that this alienated temperament settles down and is unexpectedly unforgettable: you can't say that she is good, you are just messing up, and you don't know how to find words to praise her.

Wu Qianlian may be just an ordinary woman

without makeup in her daily life, but on the screen, she is both light and shockingly beautiful.

This is one of the most vivid examples of Chinese actresses interpreting "Qiyun".

Fortunately, Wu Qianlian is not Jiang Lanjuan, she is still Wu Qianlian, even if she took the Jiang Lanjuan personality. Behind her, there is a world that Li Qingyang and Xiong Jinbiao will never be able to touch. They can understand Jiang Lanjuan, who was born and raised in the loess land, but can't understand Wu Qianlian, who grew up in modern civilization, so mysterious, so fresh, so calm, So elegant, not stunningly beautiful, but that charm is something they might not touch in their lifetime. Jiang Lanjuan, who grew up on the yellow ground, can be beautiful, but to the bloody executioner of the opponent, she can never be as attractive as Wu Qianlian.

Wu Qianlian's cold and alienation is incompatible with the yellow earth full of violent history.

thanked Wu Qianlian, her temperament gave the actor a reason to fall in love with her, and also gave the greatest logic to the story. If the arrogant and vulgar temperament is a little bit less, it is difficult to imagine why a legendary killer who has been "injured by a woman" or "not close to female", has a cold and cruel temperament in just a few days. If you can move your true feelings, you will be able to say "I must put you to sleep". If everything in this revenge story is in a dislocation at the end, then only the dislocation between Wu Qianlian and Jiang Lanjuan has made "Dragon City First Moon".

I have to admit that the fascination with the calm and restrained photography style and the full emotional display of the northern land that once had primitive desire and roots in the film are still the reasons why this type of film keeps me watching. But the flaws on the theme cannot be concealed by aesthetic characteristics. What is unsustainable is the entire Chinese martial arts movie- What kind of attitude do we choose to face the world, face ourselves, face violence and power?

This is still a question that requires martial arts to answer.

Behind the story of "Dragon City First Moon", there is a real historical event of Shi Jianqiao assassinating Sun Chuanfang, and those who are interested can search for it. . This is a very interesting subject, but for some reason, there are no related movies and literary works. Sun Chuanfang, a direct warlord with blood on his hands, really repented, completely put down the butcher knife, completely withdrew from the military, and was willing to become a Buddhist layman who meditated every day, but the hatred did not let him go-this is the reality The rules of the world.
