Is "Tang Bo Hu Spots the Fragrance of Autumn" a classic in Stephen Chow's movies? How to evaluate?

"Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" can certainly be regarded as one of Stephen Chow's classic masterpieces. It creates a character of Tang Bohu who is happy on the outside and sad on the inside. A classic image, although it has the same nonsensical style as Xingye's other masterpieces: pornographic jokes are everywhere, but because of the addition of Gong Li, this movie is unique and different.

Different from other classic historical and literary figures deconstructed by Stephen Chow, such as Su Qier, Wei Xiaobao, Bao Qingtian and others, Tang Yin, a famous literati and poet in history, under Stephen Chow's interpretation, is actually a It has a very strong tragic color. He has never found the true love in his life. Although he has a group of wives and concubines, they are all in name only. Even Qiu Xiang, who spent an entire movie pursuing her, turns out to be a bad gambler. He never got true friendship in his life, and the movie uses a lot of nonsensical plots to tell how he and his friend Zhu Zhishan teased and betrayed each other.

It’s no wonder that he sighed: “Others laugh at me because I’m crazy, but I laugh at them because they can’t see through it.” If you think about it carefully, the sigher’s heart is indeed full of desolation and helplessness, with a strong sense of Feelings of loneliness and helplessness. But the movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" uses a lot of comedy to wrap up the core of the tragedy. This is actually the same origin as Yin Tianqiu in "The King of Comedy".

The next thing I want to talk about is Gong Li, who plays the first heroine Qiu Xiang. In fact, if this role is played by Maggie Cheung, Cai Shaofen, or even old partners such as Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Min, the effect will actually be better than Gong Li. , at the time of filming, Gong Li had just starred in the highly prestigious "Farewell My Concubine". When she first arrived in Hong Kong, she was unwilling to throw away her baggage to meet Stephen Chow's nonsensical comedy requirements, so regardless of the completion of the film or the overall As for the comedy effect of the movie, the addition of Gong Li has greatly reduced it. The role of "Qiuxiang" is definitely the most failed role played by Gong Li.

But no matter what, "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" can still be regarded as a childhood classic for generations of us, with such laughs as "Cockroach Xiaoqiang", "Huaan RAP" and "The Peerless Pomegranate Sister" , will remain in our hearts forever.
