Reflections after watching the movie "Sword Rain"

文道道老老

This is the first time I discovered that there is such an engaging martial arts movie. After reading it, I collected a lot of information on the Internet and found that many people have written reviews about it. But I feel that I still have something to write about, and this is because of itself. It is a movie with a lot of content, that is, a very thick content.

In 2010, it was not dazzling. Many excellent and famous movies were released that year, including American director James Cameron's 3D blockbuster "Avatar", Li Rengang's "The Guardian", Yuen Woo-Ping's "Su Qier", Wilson Yip's "Ip Man 2: The Grandmaster", Liu Weiqiang's "Fist of Fury·Chen Zhen", Tsui Hark's "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven"... Some people commented that the reason why this film did not stand out was because its director Su Zhaobin was too famous in terms of reputation, resume and works. Too ordinary. I don't think this is the main reason. After watching the movie, I felt that it was not as shocking as "Avatar" or as subversive in terms of viewing style; in terms of martial arts, it was not as intense as the martial arts in other films; in terms of form, it was not as stunning as "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven". For commercial hype, these are more necessary for a hit film.

But it has its advantages, which is good content. A good article has an engaging story. There are good stories, even if the writing is not that good, there is still no shortage of readers. The biggest advantage of this film is its story content, although its presentation is relatively elegant. It is like a "two-eyed" beauty. At the first glance, everyone was attracted by the stunning beauty. At the second glance, they realized how beautiful it was, and the more they looked at it, the more they fell in love with it. In my opinion, it's that kind of movie.

The main line of the story is the heroine Xiao Yu. From being a female devil who kills people without blinking an eye, to being inspired by the Buddhist disciple Lu Zhu, to falling in love and starting a family, being hunted by the followers, avenging her lover, and having a happy reunion. . Another line is the robbery of Rama's body from beginning to end.

"Sword Rain" has several highlights:

The first highlight is of course its martial arts, a martial arts movie. The martial arts in this movie are quite unique. Unlike other martial arts movies, there is constant fighting and killing from beginning to end. The martial arts in this movie are not that intense in comparison. There are only a few fights for the development of the story. Michelle Yeoh is indeed a famous fighting star in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Every fight is smooth and natural, without any stiffness in her performance. Watching her fight is simply a beautiful art to enjoy. From the beginning, he was very decisive in killing people on sight, to hesitant to kill when he was inspired, and then he hid his identity and did not want to use weapons. The various fighting performances are very atmospheric and comfortable.

The second highlight is the love story. This kind of love is not like the kind in idol dramas where we are always in love with each other. Their love is expressed in daily life. For example, no matter what happens, Jiang Asheng (the pseudonym of Zhang Renfeng) always comes to help Zeng Jing (the pseudonym of Xiao Yu) pack cloth in the cloth shop when it rains. Zeng Jing went from being hesitant at the beginning, to secretly observing later, to being tempted but having doubts about whether a person like herself was worthy of such a life, to finally when she was packing up the fabrics, she would rather let the goods get wet in the rain, but wanted to ask Jiang Asheng " Will you marry me?" There is no vigorous pursuit of each other, just the subtle details of life, which seems very interesting. Later they found out each other's identities and turned out to be enemies. One wanted to atone for his sins and closed his eyes and waited to be killed; the other couldn't bring himself to do it, so he used the excuse that his father would laugh at him if he killed a weak woman and let her go. Show the love between two people vividly. The way to find love is for Xiaoyu to personally help Zhang Renfeng kill the instigator and avenge his father. Then the two of them live together.

The third highlight is robbing Rama’s body. Everyone in the world believes that Rama's body has miraculous effects. Many people do whatever it takes to return to a normal life, even killing countless people. There are disabled people who want to use it to restore their normal bodies, and even the leader of the Blackstone Gang wants to use it to restore himself to a normal man. Just because of the bloody events that unfolded, it became a hidden thread that followed from beginning to end, even though it was a joke in the end. Many people would rather lose their lives for this.

Let’s talk about the issue of names. Some people say that there is knowledge in names, and I agree.

For example, if the male protagonist's name is "Zhang Renfeng" and the female protagonist's name is "Xiaoyu", people say that wind - rain means that the two people have a story at first sight. Moreover, there are always rainy days in the story of two people, which is quite beautiful. I see there is another one here, "Lu Zhu", doesn't it mean "dew"? At first glance, it seems that there is a story about Xiaoyu, but the dew disappears as soon as the sun comes out or a gust of wind blows. It can only exist for a short time, indicating that Lu Zhu can only appear for a short time in her life, not for a long time?

There is also a clue "bridge" in it. It seems that all the love scenes are related to the bridge, so I won't say more here. The movie "Sword Rain" is also a movie that requires a deep exploration of the story.

There is just one thing that I am a little confused about. Others wanted to possess Rama's body to cure their own illnesses because they were killed. Zhang Renfeng's father took possession of it for no apparent reason. This place is not explained clearly.

In short, "Sword Rain" is a movie that you will feel after watching it once, and you will find new feelings after watching it the second time. It is a rare movie that you can watch multiple times without getting tired of. This is among the martial arts movies. It is rare and well worth seeing.
