Returning to the classic movie "Liang Zhu" starring Wu Qilong, this 94 version of the film is unforgettable with its dark pictures and unique use of color, and the lines are even more bloody, and it still feels very real in retrospect.
Wu Qilong showed a temperament of hard work, and was born to fit a character like Liang Shanbo who was brave and lacked strategy and was easily.
In this version of "Liang Zhu", director Tsui Hark has created a classic.
When I was a child, I may not have felt the horror for the first time, but my understanding of white makeup and the background of the times was still immature.
However, it is more profound to be able to understand the pain of two people who love each other but cannot be together. Perhaps the horror elements in the film are precisely to echo the darkness of the society at the time, and this is the reason why past movies are regarded as classics.
It is said that the makeup in the film is restored according to the makeup method of men during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. At that time, men would bring flowers to their faces, take Wushi San, etc.
The makeup on the figurines of the Tang Dynasty and the pictures of the ladies of the time all reflect this method of makeup. In this way, director Tsui Hark expresses the absurdity of the times.
However, many film and television dramas now adapt Liang Zhu's story into a bloody love triangle plot, and portray Ma Wencai as an affectionate rich and handsome. Therefore, many people feel that Zhu Yingtai does not marry Ma Wencai and chooses Liang Shanbo as stupid.
But in fact, what "Liang Zhu" really wants to show is the oppression of marriage in feudal society, and women cannot control marriage independently.
In the previous era, whether Marven was rich and handsome or an ordinary man, Zhu Yingtai had to obey the arrangement of his parents and marry someone he didn't know at all. This reflects the lack of freedom to marry, which is the right that women crave, who want to be able to freely choose whether to marry a high or a low family, and to choose who they really like.
