Revisiting Wu Qilong's classic movie "Liang Zhu", the dark version of the picture, the use of color is very strange, and the lines are even sharper, and it is very realistic to watch it now. Wu Qilong has a kind of bitter temperament, and he is naturally suitable for a character like Liang Shanbo, who is brave and unscrupulous, and is easily angry to death.
The 94th version of "Liang Zhu" is also a classic movie of Tsui Hark!When I was a child, I didn't feel scary when I watched it for the first time, but I couldn't understand the white makeup and the background of the times, but I could understand the pain of not being able to be together in love. Horror may be an echo of the darkness of the society at the time, but it is a classic that previous movies can make such a film.
It is said that these makeup looks in the play are to restore the appearance of men's makeup during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. In those days, men wore flowers and noodles, and ate what kind of powder, five stone scattered. The makeup on the figurines of the Tang Dynasty and the pictures of the ladies at that time are all makeup methods. Director Tsui Hark's use of this method in this film reflects the absurdity of the times.
Now many dramas have remade Liang Zhu into a bloody love triangle, and portrayed Ma Wencai as an affectionate, rich and handsome, so many people think that Zhu Yingtai is stupid not to marry Ma Wencai and choose Liang Shanbo, but Liang Zhu really wants to show the oppression of the feudal class, and he can't control his own marriage, and the kind of freedom that can't choose marriage in the past means that Ma Wencai has to marry whether he is a rich and handsome or a lascivious and ugly bad old man, Zhu Yingtai has to marry, and the freedom of marriage is that women can freely choose to marry a high or low door, and choose the man they like, instead of only listening to the words of their parents and marrying a person they don't know at all, this is the freedom of marriage that women have wanted since ancient times。
