So, don’t be obsessed with the authentic rhetoric.
In the minds of the public, everything that the emperor used in ancient times must be good. The imperial kitchen that provides food for the emperor must be both exquisite and delicious.
But, look at how the former emperor Puyi evaluates the dishes in imperial kitchen :
"I remember that in the palace, I only ate two meals a day. Although there were dozens of dishes, they were really not delicious, the same, and the taste was not good, just like offering sacrifices to dead people. It was not called "Cheese" at that time, according to the rules, and it should be called "Cheese". With a sound of passing the meal, from the Yangxin Palace where I live to the imperial kitchen, there were dozens of eunuchs standing very quickly. The dishes were prepared early. The table was not very big, two layers, the short one was like a kang table, more than one foot above the ground, and the basin of the dish was not big, just a large number. The four concubines delivered five or six dishes every day. Which dish I like to eat, the dishes were placed on a table, and the snacks and porridge were placed separately. The meal time was about 9 am and 4 pm every day. There was also a fruit box, which was ready for eating at any time. "
Look, what this was said, "It was like offering sacrifices to the dead." Exquisite is exquisite enough, but it is hard to eat, and the beast is strange. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is very simple. The recipes in the palace are strictly stipulated and have been used for several generations. It may be , Kangxi, , or the dish that Qianlong liked, and then it was published specifically as a recipe and passed on to the future. But the times are developing, and personal tastes are also changing. Today's Chinese cuisine, like the eight major dishes, , was basically the Qing Dynasty. As folk cuisine develops rapidly, palace cuisine is solidifying. After a while, the once extremely delicious palace dishes gradually became unpalatable because of the so-called "original flavor". This is the reason why you don’t advance, you will retreat. By Puyi, the folk cuisine had become a grand sight, but the imperial kitchen was still guarding the recipes left by the ancestors and maintaining the old taste. What's so weird if this is really delicious? This is true for
dishes, and so is the movie.
Someone said that there are only a few techniques to make movies, how many new tricks can you create?
is very simple, the core is the rhythm. Times are changing, but what is changing is the rhythm.
Tony Jia When he first debuted, he presented several stunning films such as " Boxing " and " Tom Yum Kung ", which made people vaguely see the feeling of Jackie Chan when he first debuted. Moreover, the tones of these films are quite simple, and they all look like watching a movie from the 1980s and 1990s. For a time, Tony Jia was very popular and highly respected.
However, there is a false image here, which is Tony Jia's works. The image style looks simple, but the storyline is very compact, one by one, and the plot is very attractive.
I really want to be obsessed with Jackie Chan’s early debut videos. If you really look back, take it out and take a look, you will definitely feel very loose. Press the pause button at any time without any pain. However, when you look at Tony Jay's works, you can't bear to press the pause, and that's the difference.
If Tony Jay is not typical enough, Keanu Reeves 's " Quick Chase " series has truly set new rules for modern action movies. That is, the pace must be fast, even if it is compact, you will never leave any urine for the audience. The excitement of the fight is second, and what really attracts is the rhythm of the story. The same is true for "Top Gun 2". The rhythm is the one that is to grasp the hearts of the audience and try to make you nail to the bench. If you don't press the tentative button, try your best to hold it in your penis and watch the video in one breath. Therefore, although the story is old-fashioned, the way of telling stories is very new. It doesn’t matter whether the jokes are old or not, it’s whether the way of telling them is good or not.
In the current era, people's attention is a very precious thing. If you don’t come up with your unique skills and don’t work hard on the rhythm, the audience will abandon you at any time. The same is true for
food. It must be aggressive in taste, so that diners can be captured at the moment they enter.Therefore, the extremely aggressive tastes of numb, spicy and odor can become popular nowadays. Crayfish, snail noodles and are all typical examples. But light dishes are difficult to become popular quickly.
It is really a pity to return to the movie "Huangshi Town Murder".
, this is really a sincere western film. Especially in the current market, western films are no longer the darling of the market. In recent years, except for " Wild Revenant ", " Earth Thunder ", " Eight Eight Eight Eights ", " Rescued Django ", " Buster's Ballad ", etc., other westerns are not good, and few westerns are even filmed every year. In such a situation as
, the creative team of "The Murder in Huangshi Town" filmed a western film very seriously, and its spirit is commendable.
In fact, just talking about the story, "The Murder in Huangshi Town" also has innovative points. The film is shot very much like a natural mystery film. After watching it, you can't guess the ending, and the reversals in it are also very interesting. It’s just that the pace is too slow, or the rhythm of the ancient western films, slowly released for more than 120 minutes. In fact, it’s enough to subtract 30 minutes and condense the entire story to about 90 minutes.
The story took place during the pioneering period in the western United States, and the specific location was Huangstone Town, , montana, . In the era where the story is, the climax of the classic western development has passed and the town is in a state of decline.
A liberated black slave rode a horse to Huangshi Town. At first glance, Lao Hei looks very much like Django in "The Rescued Django", majestic, looking like a sharpshooter, and looks like the protagonist. But that's not the case. After all, the director is not Quentin . The black people here are still not very popular. He is not only not the protagonist of the story, but also a slut. The story begins with his arrival.
In the town, a white man, Lao Du, who was addicted to gold, finally exploded gold on the cliffs far away from the town, and it was the kind of high purity.
Old Du rushed into the bar in the town excitedly and generously invited everyone inside to drink a drink. Then declare the era of revitalization of the town.
However, in a blink of an eye, the drunk Lao Du was shot to death. Who did
?
Does it kill money when you see gold?
The sheriff of the town has unshirked the responsibility of solving the murder case.
The murderer was quickly locked, and it was Lao Hei. The sheriff determined that Lao Hei had the intention to kill Lao Du.
During the process of rounding up Lao Hei, the only girl in the town who spoke for Lao Hei was also killed. Cutting the throat is quite cruel.
The sheriff was angry and decided to kill Lao Hei as soon as possible.
Lao Hei is indeed a sharpshooter, and it is not easy to deal with him. So the sheriff recruited all the adult men in the town to pick up guns to protect their town and jointly deal with the murderer.
But, is Lao Hei really the murderer?
The dead girl doesn't think so. The pastors in the church in the town also think so.
Pastor, once a gangster, was once a person from the world. Later, Jin Peng washed his hands and brought his beautiful wife to Huangshi Town, where he lived in seclusion. Unexpectedly, because of this case, I stood up again. He is the real protagonist in the film, starring Thomas Jane in . He is also the only star in the cast of this film that can be named. Unfortunately, the former handsome boy is also old.
Pastor dug out Lao Du's body from the grave. I found that the bullet left in his body was not the bullet in the old black gun, but someone else.
Before this, someone else had a love letter from the shack where Lao Du lived, someone gave Lao Du's wife. It seems that Lao Du’s wife is not a woman who is content with her own self-righteousness.
love letter was sent to the sheriff's hand, but the old man didn't think there was anything. I still think Lao Hei is the murderer. Is no one going to investigate the truth about
? The pastor decided to check it out himself.
He hid the escaped Lao Hei under the church.Moreover, the act of digging out Lao Du's body also made the sheriff know that the priest was going to be an enemy of the entire town.
When it comes to the sheriff, it doesn’t matter who the real murderer is. He just wanted an explanation, and the best result was that Lao Hei was regarded as the murderer and executed, so that the town could calm down again. As for whether or not hesitates to human life, the sheriff doesn't care at all.
case is actually not complicated, and the answer is very simple. The one who killed Lao Du was not simply seeking wealth, but seeking color. This is not a property dispute case, but an emotional dispute case.
Old Du's wife hooked up with the mayor and sheriff's son. Then all the murders were done by the sheriff's son.
not only killed Lao Du, but also killed the girl who spoke for Lao Hei, but also killed the prostitute that Lao Du liked.
On the surface, Lao Du's wife fell in love with him and wanted to elope with him. In fact, it was Lao Du’s wife who wanted to embezzle a huge amount of gold and return to the metropolis to live a good life. As for the mayor's son, it is just her tool.
Nothing vicious than a woman’s heart. Lao Du’s wife is the culprit and the black glove behind the scenes.
Sheriff could have found out the truth, but he was unwilling to investigate. Now, he just wants to catch Lao Hei, and the pastor actually protects Lao Hei, so even the pastor has to be arrested. So, I took all the men in the town and surrounded the church with guns.
In the west of the wilderness, a gun battle is inevitable when good and evil are not distinguished from right and wrong.
Then, the climax scene will come. Pili, fight and fight!
In the end, the righteous pastor took Lao Hei and his wife to defeat the sheriff who was not concerned about right and wrong and the ignorant town people. Lao Du's wife also died at the gun.
The town was saved again.
The story is actually a little more complicated than what I wrote. I have simplified it a lot. After all, spoilers are not a virtue.
, the whole story is quite good. However, "The Murder in Huangshi Town" is like a warm water, but it is not good enough. The pace is really too slow.
In 2022, what I saw was a 1992 film. What else should I do? How to evaluate
? If you restore it to 1992, you will think this movie is really good. But this is 2022 after all.
What a pity!
