I will definitely watch Jiang Wen's movies, not only because I like him, but also because the works produced by this talented peer who have been working hard for four years are far better than the so-called "Lunar New Year blockbusters". "It's much more exciting. If electricity is an art that combines various artistic expression tools, then music is the stream of consciousness in film thinking. The flow of pictures and music melody constitutes the connotation of the movie.
I have always believed that the best way to understand a person is to see what kind of music he likes, and the type of music he likes will also change as he grows older. Jiang Wen undoubtedly likes classical music, and this richness also determines his thinking about movies. I once heard that when Jiang Wen was composing "Sunny Day", he played the intermezzo "Cavalier Rusticana" by Italian composer Mascagni all day long.
This is a piece of music with a religious mood, with a melancholy sadness underneath the calmness, and an uneasiness about the uncertainty of the future. In "The Godfather Part 3", when Mary was shot and the godfather cried bitterly, this music slowly played. It seemed to be his preference, so Jiang Wen used it again in "The Evil Cannot Suppress the Righteous". Walking alone in this desolate world, no one knows, no one cares, no one cares. What a sense of loneliness this is.
Some people say that "The Righteous One" is a revenge blockbuster with "a pot of strong wine, a happy grudge, a spicy and powerful, violent aesthetics in the ice and snow of Peiping, flying on the rooftops", and I But what I felt was his feeling of "having pity for a son and not being a husband". I once said in a voice program: One of my favorite concertos is Mozart's "Clarine Concerto in A Major, Second Movement - Adagio." Not long after the movie started, when the two good and evil figures had a secret meeting, I suddenly listened to it again At this point, the melody is still soothing and beautiful, but the scene is such a contrast. Just like the melody in "Let the Bullets Fly" when Master Tang warned Zhang Mazi not to sleep with a widow, it is also an incredible contrast.
In fact, this is one of Mozart’s last works and his last concerto. The works are all full of harmonious and graceful pure beauty. It is also loved by countless people because it was used as the soundtrack in the movie "Out of Africa". The music is gentle and long-lasting, slightly sad but full of attachment to life. It is an indescribably melancholy elegy, like the last cry of a swan before its death. It can be said to be Mozart's real swan song. Robbins Langdon once wrote: "No other work by Mozart has more of a final, quiet resignation than this one.
"I suddenly had the urge to shake hands with Jiang Wen. Could it be that he also had a sad sense of fate in his heart?
