"New Dragon Gate Inn" can be said to be one of my favorite martial arts movies, Maggie Cheung, Lin Qingxia, Leung Jiahui, Donnie Yen, such a luxurious lineup is difficult to copy, and more importantly, the two beauties almost perform with super light makeup, but they can interpret both "beauty" and "charm" very brilliantly.
Especially Maggie Cheung in this movie, she simply ate the role of Jin Jiyu, I believe that many people who have watched this film absolutely agree with this sentence.
In the dusty Dunhuang Desert, several children of the rivers and lakes danced with swords in the wind and sand, the hair that was blown by the wind, and the clothes made of a few simple fabrics achieved the most classic "chivalrous" image.
The Zhang Shuping I admire is not only the cheongsam role of Su Lizhen Maggie Cheung in "In the Mood for Love", but the coarse cloth inlaid with gold and jade has also become a charming neon dress in his hands.
Maggie Cheung's Jin Jiaoyu is a Feng S boss lady, but this woman who seems to have a bold and arrogant style, and puts "old lady" and "x your father's" on her lips at every turn, once she meets someone she likes, her shyness is all written on her face, and she is very jealous, which is the loveliest thing about Jin Jianyu.
In order to echo her character, Zhang Shuping gave her a dress that could show off her neck line to the fullest, so that she could use the most humble shape to show a charming posture that was enough to make men fascinated in the Longmen Inn, which was located on the border and lacked resources.
Of course, every look and action of the actress adds 10,000 points to this character.
Qiu Moyan played by Lin Qingxia is different, as soon as she appears, she is dressed as ** because of the needs of the task, and her calm and introverted personality is also reflected in the layers of restrained clothing, she is the same as her friend of life and death, her lover Zhou Huai'an, she wears the same black and white robe from beginning to end, but the unique heroic eyes of the goddess Qingxia, as well as the sweet smile that can be converted freely, also allows her to rely on such an inflexible look, which is still enough to make people feel the watery tenderness when Qiu Moyan tells about love.
In fact, the plot of "New Dragon Gate Inn" is very simple, that is, traditional decent people and affectionate Jianghu grass cowards work together to fight against the loyal eunuchs, but in such a simple structure, each character is given a distinct personality to increase the complexity and surprise between the plot progression, which is where the skill lies.
In addition to the three protagonists Jin Jiyu, Qiu Moyan, and Zhou Huai'an mentioned earlier, arrogant villains and small supporting roles who are not amazing but have unique skills, such as Donnie Yen played by Cao Gonggong, Liu Xun played by Jia Ting and Wang Tongchuan played Diao Buyu. And so on, it's all amazing.
You must know that two-thirds of the time in this whole film is to tell the story in the indoor scene of the Dragon Gate Inn, if the characters are not watchable enough, it is easy to feel bored and bored because of the single scene.
In addition, the solid martial arts action, the positive anti-drama of spy to spy and the ubiquitous words and puns are all highlights.
Take Zhou Huai'an as an example! In fact, the description of the relationship between him and Qiu Moyan in the whole film is up to the point, and there is no lingering and sympathetic plot, but many girls will want to see pink bubbles from it even if they watch martial arts, right?
In the first Chinese version, when healing Qiu Moyan's injuries, the three words "Jinchuang Medicine" spit out from Zhou Huai'an's mouth alone were full of emotions, and you could hear how reluctant he was.
It is these small details that are matched with their plain but life-and-death emotional settings that make the romance exclusive to the Dragon Gate Inn.
