In the past two years, I have probably watched too many movies with gimmicks greater than content, and I will miss more and more the scenes made by the older generation of directors, which are so carefully crafted that even the changes in my eyes can withstand scrutiny.
For example, Ang Lee. This year, with gray hair, he is active in major award ceremonies.
Movingly, Tony Leung and Lin Qingxia were awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award.
I was pleased to touch my face with the new actor Wu Kangren:
"If you make a mistake, you will learn Xi and I'd rather make a mistake than act in that kind of boring play. ”
only to find out that Ang Lee had unconsciously completed all the pursuits that a "famous director" wantedA masterpiece that has gone down in history and an absolute status to the top, as wellA "point" that will always be remembered
And this ambition that most directors can not reach, in fact, as early as 16 years ago, he had to shoot under pressure from all sides, and it took Zhang Ailing 38 years to grind out "Lust|".Ring", you can already get a glimpse of the clues.
You must know that Zhang Ailing's pen knife has always poked at human nature and people's hearts, in the storyThere is only a small world, and there is no big country.
Color|The "color" and "precept" that are coldly divided in "Ring" break a woman's struggle between reason and emotion, and those wars as the background are just coincidental, but they only make their situation more difficult.
But Ang Lee is not.
The story he saw was "Lust, Caution", "Lust" and "Caution" are one, and the pause is for the sake of puttingSome things that belong to the big era cannot be easily put on the table, and they need to be "hidden" separately.
Someone once sharply commented that Ang Lee, who could shoot "Lust, Caution", was terrible.
said that he overturned everything in the original book and aimed at the only true but unspeakable **.
Let all this happen at the time of the moment into a complete nothingness-Absurd love, hypocritical friendship, barren family affection, a country in disarray, and a revolutionary, childish and funny revolutionary.
But this is Ang Lee's brilliance, the vision of both Eastern and Western cultures, what you can see is not only the open pattern brought by God's perspective, but also the ambition to climb to the top with this, to go down in history, and leave a masterpiece.
As a result, the full version of "The Only Truth" was not cut, and Ma Ying-jeou cried, and he was moved to say what he wanted to say about the survival of his family and country.
It all started with an assassination plan.
Kwong Yumin took the lead and took a few people to talk, and in order to get inside information, he left Liang Runsheng as a prostitute.
This is not only Liang Runsheng's experience**, but also Kuang Yumin, who was born with the aura of "Wei Guangzheng", subconsciously chose the victim.
I have to say here that Ang Lee's casting is old and spicy, and it is very appropriate for Wang Leehom, who is a "positive" top student temperament at a glance, to play a naïve revolutionary who has been honored.
A leader has a lot to worry about, such as "necessary sacrifices".
In his opinion,For a noble goal, sacrifice is necessary, and without sacrifice, it seems too easy.
Too easy to do, and the goal seems cheapFor him, it's a failure.
The goal of "patriotism" is very lofty, so he sacrificed his precious love for Wang Jiazhi to express his determination.
And the reason why the worst Liang Runsheng is the most "good" errand in this plan - let Wang Jiazhi accumulate experience in bed.
It's just the essence of humanity that is ruined just because you can't get it.
Ang Lee showed the deep digging of "hiding" for the first time, and put it on this funny bed scene, and the intention was obvious.
He wants to show the most superficial sorrow for the occupation and enslavement of his family and country in the era of war and chaos through a naïve revolution of "playing at home".
In the face of the tragedy of the times when the mountains and rivers are broken, everyone's performance and choices are different.
The students who thought they were responding to the call of the times and sacrificed everything to devote themselves to the anti-Japanese and national salvation activities, in fact, in the face of the "plan" that could not distinguish between right and wrong, all their actions were just naïve self-touching.
Look at Liang Runsheng's obscene appearance, even if he was arranged by all parties to open the ** for Wang Jiazhi, he needs to drink to strengthen his courage.
Is he really the most suitable choice?
No, he is the most inappropriate, but the most in the interests of all parties.
What Ang Lee wants to break is the "great light" in this hypocritical human natureIf you can't get it, you will destroy it with the worst, so I won't lose.
Can Wang Jiazhi escape?
Yes, but not to.
A barren family affection made her only able to grasp the only possible love and the glamorous sublime revolution.
If you don't want to be abandoned again, you have to put yourself in the dust that may bloom.
It's a pity that even so, she can't pray for a little bit of warmth.
* As soon as it rang, Mrs. Yi said that they were leaving Hong Kong.
How ridiculous?This "playful" revolution, the comical assassination plan, the ineffective being used, and the others did not lose a single bit except for wasting their time.
As for Wang Jiazhi, there is nothing in the first place, and now even the most valuable chastity in the eyes of the world has been sacrificed, and before it started, she was told that it was over!
Ang Lee's ironic design that is humane but reversed is wonderful.
All along, whether it is the original "Lust|Caution", or Ang Lee's adaptation of "Lust, Caution", there is controversy over whether it is a traitor's whitewashing.
But there is no doubt that the story that Zhang Ailing spent 38 years polishing is itself a kind of self-exculpation, human nature, and for different people, there are some things that are not so easy to let go.
A person who lacks love will definitely do whatever it takes to catch the love she can get, even if she knows that it is poisonous and wrong, but she is stuck in the quagmire and cannot extricate herself.
Just like Mr. Yi, who has been added to the strong humanity, Ang Lee extracted the "tiger and the man" given to the relationship between men and women in the original book, and only gave Mr. Yi a humanized "man", which itself is to increase the pattern he wants to open up in the movie.
Love is not what "Lust, Caution" wants, the choices and behaviors of various characters in the context of the anti-Japanese period, such as Mr. Yi, who knows that there is no return to the future, still chooses a degenerate ghost, he is just greedy for power and money
One kind of rice raises a hundred kinds of people, acknowledging the diversity of people and showing the complexity of human nature is the most precious thing Ang Lee has given to film history.
Let's talk about this ** scene.
Ang Lee really understands human nature too well, or he is very good at digging out what kind of sparks actors will collide with when they are trapped in the role.
For example, choosing Tang Wei to play Wang Jiazhi is a nested bold attempt.
Tang Wei has just the right amount of jerkiness, just like in the story, three years ago, Mr. Yi became interested in this obviously flawed woman because he was happy with Wang Jiazhi's funny, and then developed into a relationship of "pretending to be in love".
Twice forgot to wipe off the lip prints that were printed on the cup;
The ** number was handed over to Mr. Yi's straightforwardness in a daze.
This kind of jerky like a blank sheet of paper, for Mr. Yi, who is in an intrigue all day long and needs to be vigilant at all times, the experience of having sex with her is too fresh and funny.
Just like a veteran migrant worker looking at a new Xi who wants to pretend to be calm, he finds it interesting, but also a rare relaxation, because everything is under control.
Mr. Yi looked at the jerky teasing of Wang Jiazhi disguised as Mrs. Mai, used various cheongsams to show off her good figure, and used the shyness of a little girl to show her shiny earrings, etc., childish little means are in the workplace and family that are fighting openly and secretly for too long, and I have not felt it for a long time.
That time, I couldn't enter at the door, and I saw the pleasure of Wang Jiazhi, who was forced to go in with a paralyzed body.
Once in a while, if you meet Ganlin.
And continuing Mr. Yi to spend three years, and when he sees Wang Jiazhi again, he will immediately eat what he has in his mouth, which is the desire to conquer in men's nature.
In the era of war, anyone can be precarious, and it is too easy to fall.
But Wang Jiazhi is a rare exception.
If it is said that prostitutes choose to disguise themselves as innocent little flowers to cater to customers because of business needs, and increasing income is a necessary means of livelihood, then letting a pure and good student choose to disguise a prodigal wife and seduce other people's husbands is obviously very good at poking at the habits of men like Mr. Yi.
In the past three years, Wang Jiazhi has faded away from the calm that he used to support.
This time she agreed to the plan for herself.
A child who lacks love, even if she understands that some love is poisonous and will make her doomed, as long as she hasn't tried it, she can't convince herself not to catch it.
Ang Lee's design here follows the original book, which happens to be intertextual with the complexity of human nature that he wants to express.
Reuniting after a long absence, according to reason, is a sad statement.
But Mr. Yi, who is as cunning as a fox and as a ghost, how could he relax because of a momentary greed.
What's more, as soon as he saw him, Wang Jiazhi's shallow bowing head and calm eyes that were very different from three years ago made him immediately ring the alarm in his mind.
Until the arrival of that ghost-like rampant and spine-chilling body fight.
When Wang Jiazhi entered the room, she was obviously startled by Mr. Yi, who was sitting on a chair and half-hidden in the dark, and blurted out "Don't scare me like this in the future", which was obviously a reaction after restraint.
Then she immediately stuck it and rubbed the root of Mr. Yi's thigh with her thigh.
And this obviously seductive and provocative posture, in Mr. Yi's feelings, is a sense of threat like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.
The body's stress counterattack immediately made his muscles burst out, and then a series of handcuffs, tearing cheongsam, and pulling **, until the whole body was touched by sticking to it, in fact, it was not provoked by desire, but subconsciously removing the potential threat of the opponent.
That's right, all his violent actions against Wang Jiazhi are just searching for her, just like what he has done countless times before to those who were killed in his hands.
Why is this happening?
It is very understandable that Mr. Yi excitedly thought that he was going to a higher level three years ago, but he didn't want to wait for him three years later, so he rolled back to the original point in a gloomy manner, trembling and waiting for the knife that would fall at any time.
At this time, this woman with a special purpose actually wanted to get closer to him than three years ago, and her purpose was too worthy of his vigilance.
The food that can be delivered to your mouth, how can you be willing not to taste a bite?
I tasted it, and it was delicious.
I got it, and I was satisfied.
Is that enough?No, for Wang Jiazhi, who has lacked love since childhood, a corner will not be truly satisfied, she wants more.
Coincidentally, Mr. Yi is the same, it is rare to have such a person and body that can make him relax, how can he not want to keep it.
Since both sides take what they need, then don't break it.
Shopping, making clothes, buying jewelry, and having a hearty melting.
Wang Jiazhi completely regarded herself as "Mrs. Mai", and devoted herself to playing the role of a woman in love.
And Mr. Yi fell little by little, deceiving himself into coveting this extravagant love.
The two of them have progressively advanced ** personal encounters one after another, all of which indicate a tragic ending that is difficult to extricate from.
Pigeon eggs are like a mortal price to be paid by fate.
Scarce and expensive, this is really concerned and valued, especially after Wang Jiazhi learned that Mrs. Yi had not been given pigeon eggs by Mr. Yi, at that moment "only for me" was the greatest satisfaction.
A woman who falls in love can't see the world as it is, let alone calculate future gains and losses.
Human nature is inevitable.
In the end, one dies and one lives.
Mr. Yi's eyes were red with tears, and he looked back at Wang Jiazhi's bed for a moment, and left quietly.
In the end, no one won, no one lost.
As mentioned earlier, Ma Ying-jeou cried after watching it.
It is the feelings of survival of the family and country that Li Ang hides in the "only truth"**.
The contradictory reactions and fundamental struggles of complex human nature, which each face the most devastating war, show very different reactions to tragedy.
"Go home".——It is Ang Lee's greatest ambition, and it is also the "hidden" that he most wants to stay in film history and hopes to be remembered forever.
