How to evaluate Dong Fangbubai's comeback?

There are three films in the film version of the legendary swordsman. The leading role of the first two films is Ling Huchong, so the rivers and lakes are full of enthusiasm and Yun Zhi, and the sea laughs. The protagonist of the third film "The Rise of Dong Fangbubai" is Dong Fangbubai, so my daughter's love and hate is accompanied by a song "Laughing at the World of Red Dust".

From man to woman, from chivalry to tenderness, from rise to end, Dong Fangbubai rose again, marking the last chapter of the whole the legendary swordsman.

1993 In less than a year, the production team of "Swordsman 2" was unwilling to create the third film "the legendary swordsman".

This time, he lost Jet Li and joined Yu Rongguang, and the hero changed from "Ling Huchong" to "Changfeng Gu". The whole story continues the rebellion between Dong Fangbubai and the enemy in the second part, and the timeline is set after the protagonists in the second part have retired for many years.

As far as the cast is concerned, it is no less than the second part of the highlight version.

Yu Rongguang, in the position of a group of promoters in Hongkong, was obsessed with shaping another "Jet Li" figure. He has been practicing martial arts since childhood and has a deep foundation. However, his appearance gives the impression that he is cold and heroic, and he looks a little more cunning, which has become one of the important reasons why he will gradually play more villain roles in the future.

Besides Michele Monique Reis and Rosamund Kwan, the heroine joined Joey Wong. She is also an absolute beauty, and it is impossible to say who is worse than who.

The joint efforts of Cheng Xiaodong and Tsui Hark are not much different from the second film in terms of picture style, timbre distribution and action design.

On the whole, the story line is inherited, and the original production team and cast are not inferior, but the final word-of-mouth and evaluation are far behind the second part.

Besides the lack of Ling Huchong, there is another main reason: Dong Fangbubai.

Dong Fangbubai played by Brigitte Lin is the most stereoscopic, enchanting and mysterious of all film and television works.

Similarly, in Jin Yong's original works, Dong Fangbubai's role attribute is mysterious in the whole Jianghu world.

He doesn't have many scenes, but he is definitely one of the soul figures in the whole the legendary swordsman system.

So from a natural point of view, such a role is not suitable as the protagonist of a movie. The longer the appearance time, the less attractive the role is.

It is extremely inappropriate to expose a soul figure who should be hiding in the fog and living in a dreamland to the world and put it in front of the stage, adding too many scenes.

As a result, the organ was used up, and it was once empty. The Rise of Dong Fangbubai, which had high hopes, did not surpass its previous work and became a classic.

Of course, these are the shortcomings we found by comparing the two. If we only look at the quality and connotation of The Rise of Dong Fangbubai, it has a unique flavor, which is better than most martial arts films since the new century.

In the movie, Dong Fangbubai said, "I have shed blood for the whole world, but how many people in the world remember me?"? Everyone in the world is ungrateful. "

Finally, let's talk about Dong Fangbubai.

He or she?

He is obsessed with the hegemony of the king and wants to unify the rivers and lakes.

Immersed in the world of mortals, she vowed to kill all the ungrateful people in the world.

He once sacrificed himself for the whole race and cut off the root of love with a knife, but what he got in the end was the incomprehension of his people, with a sieve.

She frolicked in the water, and when she turned to leave, she smiled back and let a hundred flowers blossom in shame, which surprised Ling Huchong.

If it weren't for Changfeng Gu, she would have left long ago, and there would be no more stories about her in the Jianghu.

But Changfeng Gu said, "You didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of you."

So Dong Fangbubai chose to return to the Jianghu and changed his name to: Dong Fangbubai!

She left because she had no attachment.

He came back because he wanted to make a comeback.

Logically speaking, all Dong Fangbubai's actions from "retirement", "comeback" to "death" are traceable.

He is a man who can sacrifice himself for his race. She said she would kill everyone in the world, but did she kill innocent people?

She is attached to Ling Huchong, while he sympathizes with Snow Chihiro. Her love is supreme. He hid the world in his heart, but he could only be a daughter. Therefore, she is doomed to be a tragedy.

Here it is, Dong Fangbubai. A poor man who could have been a lean man, but could not choose his own destiny in the end.
