Coquettish Rebirth

First of all, let's talk about the film reviews in the media about the profound meaning in Jia Hongjian's "Hero" movie.

First of all, there are film reviews in a relatively neutral newspaper like "Yangtze Evening News". In such a comprehensive evening newspaper, the reporters of their entertainment section really opened their minds after watching Jia Hongjian's movie, and sincerely expressed it. The professionalism of the experts in the Chinese Textbook Editing Committee pondering the central ideas of various articles and the deep meaning the author wants to express!In such a film review, what the reporter wrote was simply too exaggerated——"Master Jia Hongjian's "Hero" is simply the highest film in our country with the best balance between commerce and art! From commercial From a perspective, the martial arts scenes in this drama are very beautiful and realistic, unlike the poems in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that hang high and walk high. The martial arts routines in "Heroes" are fully displayed. A kind of cruelty and ferocity that is close to reality! As a martial arts instructor, Hong Jinbao, together with Yuen Biao as the protagonist, their martial arts design and martial arts routines give full play to the inextricable connection with the movie superstar Cheng Long. Although they are not Here is a humorous martial arts, but when they fight, it embodies the realistic fighting in Cheng Long's film, often after the actor is kicked over, the posture and location of the landing make the audience feel painful when they see it!"

"In this movie, the martial arts routines are very fierce, just like the dance skills performed by Zijin played by Li Yancheng before, which are completely different from the routines in actual combat after that! Zijin's small jumps in the dance, in actual combat In the middle is to step up quickly; it is very nice to pull a few sword flowers at a time in a dance, but in actual combat, only half of the sword flowers can block the enemy's attack. Even an action imitating a fisherman casting a net will become a block in actual combat. After opening the opponent's attack, first move the Yin sword to cut the opponent from below, and then perform a slashing action against the face and the upper plate... There are too many before and after comparison shots, and even in the practice on the second day, Zi Jin There is no scene of ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-sword-with-a-sword to my own sparring partner to each other. Here, the sword and sword do not touch the enemy’s weapon at all. It is to chop, stab, and cut at the wrists, necks and other vital points! From this point of view, such a martial arts scene may not be as good-looking as the ping-pong-pong flying and beating, but it is more real, more vicious, and more shocking. !"

"The design and arrangement of martial arts routines is like this, and the other plots are so real and shocking. A story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Dynasty has existed in history for more than 2000 years. Countless people in the past dynasties know this story, but No one has ever told stories like Jia Hongjian and Zhang Yimou. In their stories, a good person before may not be a good person later, and a person who behaves like a good person does not necessarily do good things, even if Even if it is a good thing. It may just be a good thing in his own eyes, but it is actually not a good thing for history, the nation, or the country! A person may be considered a bad person by others, but he may just use another extreme method to Save the country and nation he loves! If there is no Qin Shihuang, then maybe the Warring States of the Great Zhou Dynasty will evolve into a state similar to the European countries after hundreds of years, and each country will have its own language, and each country will have its own language. , although we all have the same mother, but it is not so easy to unify, and it can even be said that if there is no Qin Shihuang, maybe now our China is just another regional concept like Europe!"

"The achievements of Qin Shihuang are recognized by history. But what about his cruelty? According to the lines of Qin Shihuang in the play, in the era when the countries fought against each other, countless ordinary people died every year. In such a troubled world, isn't it just Should heavy codes be used? In times of war, the common people need order and an orderly life, even if such an order is a high-handed rule! But as long as there is order, then the common people can be safe and give them a chance to make progress! In the past, the six countries were enfeoffed, nobles were nobles, commoners were commoners, and there was almost no room for mobility. However, the Qin State created the military merit title system, which can give ordinary people who have made military merits a chance to become nobles. It is not like the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties that completely abolished the dominant position of the nobles. It does not completely abolish the dominance of the family, but at least treats the symptoms, but at least there is an upward channel! Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the opportunity to study was almost the same as the opportunity to be an official. The monopoly of the aristocratic family, if it is not the children of the aristocratic family, basically there is no chance to make progress! But Qin Shihuang had already given such an opportunity to the common people before BC. Is this a high-handed rule? Is this a bad high-handed rule? ?”

"Through such a series of plots, we can see that the producer Jia Hongjian and the director Zhang Yimou want to express such a concept-there are too many uncertainties in the world. Everyone says that one person is better, and others It is not necessarily really good. Everyone says that a person is bad, but he is not necessarily really bad. In the real world, there are not so many clear dividing points between good and bad. There are no such pure good people, and there are not so pure The bad guys. The good guys in our daily life may be the ones who stab us behind us at critical moments, but the bad guys in our eyes may be the ones who are giving for righteousness! In Jia Hongjian’s film, the most quintessential It is to convey such an understanding of life through such a fascinating story, which is entertaining and entertaining. We don’t know whether such an understanding was conceived by Jia Hongjian or by Zhang Yimou, but we can be sure , such a film they collaborated with is simply the pinnacle of Chinese films in the past 10 years! While the superficial story is attractive, it can also be so entertaining and completely unoffensive to convey what the creator wants to convey From this point of view, the combination of Jia Hongjian and Zhang Yimou really has the level of a master!"

Seriously, when Jia Hongjian saw this kind of report, he laughed so hard that he almost hurt himself!Will he tell others that in fact he has no idea at all to convey the philosophy of life?He will tell others that he just thinks it is interesting to design the story in this way, that is, he thinks such a big reversal of turning a good person into a bad person and turning a bad person into a good person is very interesting, so he did it?In fact, he never thought about giving such a movie story any profound meaning, and he didn't want to entertain at all!It can even be said that when Jia Hongjian saw such a profound philosophy in his movie for the first time, his first reaction was "Fuck? I'm so awesome? I conveyed such a great idea in the movie." philosophy? Why don’t I know it myself?”

This is a bit like when Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West" and other movies became popular in mainland universities, students from various universities invited Stephen Chow to give speeches.As a result, Zhou Xingchi listened to the students' questions about "postmodern nonsensical structuralism" and "travelling of individual desires separated from the desire of the subject", "the disappearance of meta-narrative and meta-discourse", "the demise of the boundary between imitation and reality, original and imitation" A series of academic terms such as "the leveling of the sense of history and the depth mode" are simply incomprehensible!Zhou Xingchi only wants to make something funny, and only thinks about how to make movies funny.I didn't even think about such messy literary theories!Similarly, Jia Hongjian is also like this now, he doesn't think about any ideological or artistic features at all, he just thinks it's fun!

But where there is yin, there must be yang, and if there are those who praise Jia Hongjian, naturally there are those who scold Jia Hongjian!But let's talk about the psychological dynamics of those who scolded Jia Hongjian first.Let's take a young writer named Cao Jin and a new film critic, after watching "Hero".The senses are different!If ordinary young people see such a film that tells the philosophy of life, but "that" youths see nothing, then what literary and artistic youths like Cao Jin see is completely different-he sees What a movie that comes out is terrible!It is simply reversing the verdict of history!It's simply overturning the case for the tyrant!

What kind of literary and artistic works does Cao Jin like?It was something like "The hunter heard that the wolves in the mountains were bad. One day he went hunting in the mountains, but he fell and was injured. Seeing that it was getting late. He heard the howling of wolves, and thought he might be bad this time, but he saw the wolf After coming over, they didn’t hurt him, but found him various herbs and put them in front of him, and even gave him various small prey like rabbits...” What is the literary work with this kind of plot talking about? ?What is said behind that is that the communist society used to say that capitalism was in dire straits, but it turned out that after the common people came into contact with the dire capitalism.In fact, I found that capitalism is very good...

People like Cao Jin like this kind of Taoism, and they like this kind of Taoism of "seeing the essence through phenomena".So watching Jia Hongjian's film again, Cao Jin felt that the political thought behind it was too bad!What high pressure is not necessarily bad, high pressure must be bad!In a high-pressure society, wouldn't literati like them not be able to stand out?Aren't literati like them unable to speak freely?Is this okay?What literati like them need is a low-pressure environment, what they need is a hundred schools of thought contending, and what they need is the ability to express their opinions in various ways...even scolding casually!Why does it have to be a high-pressure society?Moreover, such a movie by Jia Hongjian and the others, no matter how you look at it, is to wash the ground for a tyrant like Qin Shihuang who burns books and confuses scholars!Burning books and burying scholars!What a sin!If he Cao Jinsheng was more than 2000 years ago.Are you going to burn his books to defraud him as a Confucian?How unreasonable!

At this time, Cao Jin didn't care whether the high pressure in Jia Hongjian's "Heroes" story was generated under foreign oppression, or whether the high pressure was to restore order as soon as possible, like a general mobilization for war. Make full use of manpower, he doesn't care!He doesn't care about any country or nation. Anyway, a society where literati like him are not allowed to speak out is not a good society, even if it is extremely powerful.But if the literati cannot be allowed to speak out, that would be militaristic and tyrannical!That too is evil and must be brought down!But if a society.For example, the Song Dynasty, no matter how weak the country is, can give him a voice for a literati, and can give him the status of a literati, that is a good dynasty, that is a good country, that is good and good!

In this regard, Cao Jinna really fully demonstrated what it means to think with the buttocks—whatever position he sits in, he should think in his own position!
