Chapter 995 The meaning behind the absurdity

Du Xianghai, a Li Chui film critic, naturally wouldn't miss this movie.

But he also had a headache how to write a film review for this movie?
In the end, he still wrote according to some strange ideas of his own.

"There is a lot of meaning behind the absurdity!"

This is the title of Du Xianghai's film review.

"East evil, West poison, Southern emperor, Northern beggar, and Central supernatural power, these are the five peerless masters in the world behind "East Achievement and West Achievement" created by Li Yi.

At the first glance of these nicknames, I believe that anyone who has read martial arts novels or martial arts movies will have a sense of expectation. In the world of martial arts, it is said that literature is the first and martial arts is the second. A master who has made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes.

However, at the very beginning of the film, someone told us that this story was a "absurd thing they did when they were young", and after watching the entire film, while laughing their stomachs to pieces, they couldn't help but think about it Some.

The lineup of this movie is extremely luxurious, the four heavenly kings of Hong Kong Island, the heads of two generations of jade girls, Kung Fu superstars like Cheng Hu, etc. It can be said that these people now have a dazzling aura. Because of this, we see When watching this film, I feel that this is not just the absurdity of the characters in the play, it is more like the absurdity that these actors did when they were young, and the absurdity is very enjoyable.

It's been a long time since anyone made us laugh so hard.Although it may not bring us any profound thoughts, it can make us forget those profound (so-called profound), it does not require us to think, it only requires us to laugh, how to be happy.

So how did the movie go?Is it really that shoddy?After all, it only took less than a month, and it was shot hastily.

But after watching this movie, you will find that many things in this movie can make people's eyes shine, and they can even be called god-level brain holes.

This film can be said to subvert the meaning of martial arts!
The leader of the beggar gang who won back from boxing guessing, Hong Qi whose cousin didn’t want to commit suicide by himself, the “cousin” who felt crushed by others every day, scary animals and people who scare animals, Wang Chongyang, who was wounded to death by a hidden weapon in a boot , Zhou Botong, who loves muscular men, has flirtatious eyebrows, and is full of affection!

Especially the flirtatious sword, it's really amazing, yes, amazing!

It can be said that the author has watched so many martial arts movies and novels, but I have never seen such an open-minded martial arts.

In my opinion, the way of showing eyebrows and swords can be said to be the most innovative martial arts in the whole film.

Of course, the most subversive, or the most unexpected, is that when many of us read martial arts novels, many famous masters, or evil spirits, seem to be masters or demons as soon as they appear. Giant.

We don't care too much about what they were like when they were young?Not to mention what they did when they were young.

Naturally, he would not have thought that those righteous heroes with strong martial arts and evil spirits would have such virtues. Sure enough, heroes are also human beings, and human beings always have shortcomings.It's like a goddess can also fart and pass urine, which is very reasonable!

Those masters walked down from the altar in this movie. They are no longer outstanding martial arts masters. The big hat of the martial arts senior, stroking his few beards every day, shaking his head at a group of bullshit balls like himself in the past, one, two, three, four, being a teacher, dignified, showing the outstanding martial arts and personal cultivation of a generation of masters everywhere .

This movie tells us that it is not a positive character who must get rid of violence and make the people applaud him; it is not a villain who must kill and set fire, endure the people's rotten eggs and rotten persimmons everywhere, and finally be moved by the protagonists. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, or resist and be killed directly.

《东成西就》里面的五大高手反而是像我们一样的小把戏，会犯低级失误，会被师傅K，会被师姐揍，会精心设计一次爱情表白，也会作出猜拳决定丐帮帮主这样不reliable thing.

These things seem very unreliable and absurd, but it is precisely these unreliable things that make us feel so cute.

I really like the lyrics in the theme song of this movie: who is the great hero, and how many are absolutely outstanding in the world?
So what about martial arts masters?

The masters were once young too, and Chen Weijie, who is now a superstar, didn't act absurdly when they were young?
Chen Weijie once took the lead in rebellion in order to fight against the contract of prostitution of his old club.

Does it look familiar?Although Chen Weijie didn't have an affair with his cousin, the rebellion was true.

And he was indeed disgraced once, was banned for a while, and remained silent for several years.

Liang Feng also used to set up a stall on the street because of being blocked.

Guo Xiao used to act in women's clothing in several plays in order to help her mother pay off her gambling debts and to get a high salary.

It is very like a man who endured all kinds of hardships before becoming a fairy. In order to get the three words "I love you" from a sincere person, he would not hesitate to be scolded by passers-by, dress himself up as a woman, and find Master Wang at the entrance of the village to burn him with a special medicine. He wore a particularly unique hairstyle, and he didn't hesitate to be kicked around like a football.The hard work paid off, and he finally got the three words "I love you" and became a fairy.

Zhang Qidong once committed suicide by turning on gas because of a broken relationship!
So, don't think it's too absurd to see Hong Qi committing suicide because her cousin doesn't like her, because the inspiration even comes from reality.

When young, many people regard love as the whole of life!
Cheng Hu used to be successful in Hollywood, and indeed once thought that he was an invincible representative of Hong Kong Island's entertainment industry, but he quickly encountered setbacks in Hollywood, so he had to return from Hollywood to Hong Kong Island and go to the mainland in despair.

Wait, wait, rather than saying "East and West" is an extremely absurd and nonsensical comedy, it is better to say that this movie actually tells the absurd past of these big stars.

So this is a movie with a lot of meaning behind the absurdity.

This is a movie that will make us who are gradually no longer young. At the wine table, pushing a glass of wine and half drunk, the absurd things we experienced together when we were young suddenly come to mind. Recalling those embarrassing times together, we will be surprised to find , that is the happiest time, the time when you pick up chopsticks to eat meat and put down the chopsticks to scold your mother is the most glorious time.

You go to save your third princess, I come to chase after my little cousin, everyone is in the world of mortals, chic and unrestrained, roaming the rivers and lakes, laughing and joking.After you sing, I will appear on the stage, and let the cactus grow on the banana tree. "
