Three-person figure photography

There are too many legends in Hong Kong action movies.

More legendary than these stories is the shooting of the action film itself.

As we all know, Xu Anhua is an expert in shooting women's films.

Her Forty Women, Sister Tao, The Golden Age,

They all focus on the most common and everyday aspects of female roles.

If action movies are for men, then Xu Anhua tried to tell the audience through this movie.

Action movies can't shut women out.

"Ah Kin" tells the story of Ah Kin who was born in the Mainland and studied martial arts and went to Hong Kong alone.

The story of making a living by fighting in body double.

At the beginning of the movie,

The busy shooting scene, the martial artists who play cards in their spare time, the actors who fight, and the people who coordinate the shooting work non-stop,

A simple shot explains the hard life of a martial artist.

The film was shot by Lin Guohua, who made a great contribution to the shooting of this long shot.

Akin in the movie doesn't want a man,

He finished the difficult and dangerous moves that even the male martial artist couldn't catch up with again and again, and got up again with bruises all over.

It also makes people realize the cruel iron law of martial arts.

Although the main character of the film is Ah Kin,

However, under the arrangement of Xu Anhua, the film is divided into three chapters and three people, which shapes the image of Ah Kin from the side.

Ah Jin met Brother Tong, the martial arts instructor, on the set.

Although the latter is very strict with her,

But he was secretly concerned about Ah Kin, and even tried to test Ah Kin's feelings and attitude towards him through the past events of that month.

But Ah Kin tried to get rid of the rascal,

Or choose to be with SAM who has a successful career,

However, this choice did not become her lifeline.

With Sam's compassion,

Ah kin began his life as a stuntman again.

Then Brother Tong was killed by the underworld.

In order to protect A Lang, the son of Tong Ge, Ah Jin started his escape career.

This is such a simple story, but it was handled warmly and touching by Xu Anhua.

From Ah Kin, we don't see any preaching or aura, just a portrayal of an ordinary person.

For example, she will drink with martial arts experts to celebrate.

She will be like most actresses,

I hope to teach my husband and children wholeheartedly after marrying a rich family.

Always optimistic and open-minded against "fate"

At this point, many people feel that the plot of this film is fragmented.

The theme that the director will elaborate is,

It will make people who like the behind-the-scenes tidbits of movies feel a little disappointed.

Therefore, this film is not outstanding in Xu Anhua's works, and Douban scored only 7.0.

But the author believes that this does not affect the look and feel of this film.

Because what Xu Anhua really wants is to treat Ah Kin as a plaything.

Then it expounds the changes and influences brought by the atmosphere of Hong Kong film circle to the practitioners.

Regarding the creative background of this film, I'll first put a picture for everyone to feel for themselves.

The message that the film wants to convey is not limited to the visual expression of the film.

At first glance, maybe all we see is Yang Ziqiong.

Whether she is calm and confident when filming, gentle when she gets along with her lover, or even resolute when she finally breaks up with her lover, she is portrayed very well.

This woman who never cries when she is hurt,

But I was forced to tears by life.

At this point, the audience's psychological defense will be completely defeated.

Akin is also a continuation of Yang Ziqiong's screen and public image.

In order to shoot the jumping scene in the movie, Yang Ziqiong suffered a spinal injury and was almost paralyzed.

At the end of the film, the words "salute to the martial arts director" were printed.

The second time, I saw Xu Anhua.

Akin and Xu Anhua have something in common,

They look strong on the outside, but they are fragile and sensitive on the inside.

In her semi-autobiographical film Autumn Hatred, Sean, who is based on Xu Anhua, is like this.

She wanted to escape from her family and become more independent until she learned about her mother's life.

This completely touched her homesickness.

After several twists and turns in his life,

But she still retains her persistence in her heart.

Knowing the difficulties, he chose to protect A Lang, the son of Tongge.

Compared with Sean's rebellion and spirit in Autumn Hatred and Travel Map,

In the movie, Ah Kin had to bow to his fate and eventually fell to the end of the world.

Isn't this Xu Anhua's attitude towards life as a middle-aged person?

Like king of comedy in Stephen Chow, the director devoted too much affection to the role of Ah Kin.

In the face of fate, whether Yin Tianchou or Ah Kin,

They are strong, but they are weak.

I can't get out of the real dilemma.

But for how to get rid of this dilemma, Xu Anhua will not give a clear and definite answer.

It is to give the audience enough space to choose the characters in the film.

The Story of Ah Kin is a love letter written by Xu Anhua to the martial arts coach.

The films she made should be suitable for men to enjoy, adding tenderness and affection to women.
