What movies does Jiang Wen's movie "One Step Away" pay homage to?

Obviously we can all feel that there are many sections in "One Step Away" that pay homage to the classics, but Jiang Wen himself said:

However, if you look carefully, you can indeed find too many There are clues of déjà vu. Of course, whether it is a real tribute can only be explained by the director himself. It can only be regarded as the obscenity of others, but we do see Jiang Wen's genius and mischief in it.

"The Godfather"

I believe many people will find that after watching the beginning, Jiang Wen is paying tribute to "The Godfather" in the entire first scene. He was embarrassed in front of the Italians and came to Ma Zuri for help. Under the dim light, Wu Qi's non-stop tone, the camera slowly pulled back the back of Hou Ma Zongri, speaking in a low voice similar to Marlon Brando's dialogue, the roses on his chest, and the blinds behind the chair, made people feel I feel like that is clearly the beginning of "The Godfather". But the cat in Marlon Brando's arms turned into the rabbit in Ma Zuri's arms, the leather seat turned into a Chinese Taishi chair, and in the end the two of them actually spoke a few sentences in Manchu instead of the original Italian.

If you just really feel that he is paying tribute, but there is also a bit of drama in it, this contrast of black and white may be Jiang Wen telling everyone in a spoof, I am one step away from the classics.

"Don Quixote"

In the end, before Ma Zauri died, he and Wu Liu escaped to a Windmill castle. There was such a windmill on the wall of the room where Wu Liu forced Ma Zuuri to question before.

In Don Quixote's world, the standing windmill was imagined by him as a ferocious giant. Although Sancho said that the windmill's huge wings were just blades, he still held the spear and wanted to fight the windmill. Duel, rush into that encounter. Even though he looks like a madman in the eyes of others, he still has to fight against everything except idealism. In "One Step Away", Ma Zuri has no fight. Even if he dies and flies down from the sky, he still has no fight. Any expression of sadness or pain is like a piece of light feather, unable to resist the power of the powerful.

"My Life"

If most people can at least understand the characters' thoughts, it is through Ma Zouri's narration. , but as the protagonist's monologue, here it is more like the voice of a bystander, and it is also very similar to Shi Hui's tone in "This Life".

Woody Allen-style mockumentary (such as "The Legend of Seili")

Beginning with a documentary-style black and white passage about the Huayu election, Wu The six-shot film-within-a-movie "Shooting Ma Zouri" and the fast-forward black and white short film of Ma Zouri's escape both seem to be following the path of "The Legend of Seili" and also pay homage to the art of early black-and-white silent films.

In the black and white short film during the escape, Ma Zouri looked like a clown, looking at the camera lens with a very funny expression in the crowd. He looked funny, but he was really embarrassed, helpless, and sad.

"Lover"

Ma Zuuri recalled a fragment of his life studying in France, saying that he had filmed the movie "The Train Arrives at the Station" "The Gardener Waters the Flowers". The memories and Wu Liu's appearance at that time make people think of "Lover" at once.

"Factory Gate"

When introducing Wu Liu, Ma Zuri said that this girl with a camera aspires to become China's Lumi El. Therefore, the black and white scene of crowded people at the beginning of the film reminds me of Lumière's "Factory Gate". The film that defined the birth of world cinema.

Other tribute scenes:

The soundtrack of "2001: A Space Odyssey": The producers were delighted when the company name popped up, and when Mr. Sai presented the award to Huayu President Wan Yanying.
