Watching "Tattoo", I suddenly found that Zhao Wenzhuo restrained himself, and it was really particularly charming. To tell the truth, I thought he would be an action fighter or a martial art throughout the whole process, in fact, throughout the film, the role of Ah Chang, played by him, has always maintained a low-key and introverted performance style, showing the mysterious temperament of the Oriental chivalrous, this slightly legendary personality, which is full and three-dimensional by him. Too many chivalrous emotional dramas, showing a man's affection and righteousness, and the last action shot, you know that this role stands, too able to fight, very flattering, really with affection to portray the poetic romance of martial artists, enriching the action movie genre.
This is a film full of unique temperament, the overall rhythm is very well controlled, typical of classic action movies. The mystery is so numerous that it takes layers of stripping to draw silk, the romance of the jianghu, and the rules of the gang. The feelings of home and country, the brothers against each other, the love of children, the contradictions between father and daughter, and the bridge sections of those winds and snows, the firing of cannons in a row, the oath of loyalty engraved on the bones, and the harmony and beauty of the beautiful people. All kinds of dramatic tension and character viewing points have achieved the exclusive temperament of this film, and the contradictions between different personalities collide with different sparks. The cleverness of the narrative also makes the whole film look full of jianghu flavor, and the appearance of mysterious characters one by one makes the reversal of the drama more possibilities.
Tattoos are nothing more than a medium that makes people see the unfathomable depths of the jianghu. The test of joining a gang between brothers requires a tattoo, a dragon tattooed on a bone, to show that you are your own person. The battle of wits between the enemy and us is also expressed through tattoos, and the mixed literary fight of fish and dragons cannot just move the mouth. The presentation of children's love can also be deduced through tattoos, love and non-love, true and false when fake, false when false. Brotherhood, tattoos are testimonies, there are laughter points and tears, and in an instant, people are tearful. The vivid interpretation of father-daughter emotions can also be expressed through tattoos, and it turns out that none of us have forgotten the person we love the most. The tattoo runs through the entire film, without any sense of violation, but makes people feel that at the moment of the stabbing, it is always with a strong emotional expression, which makes the audience resonate. Where is the tattoo, it is obviously in the "tattoo heart".
The romance of the Orientals is more important than the heart rather than the form. Therefore, the tattoo is just a medium, and what really makes people feel that the kung fu is deep, or because through the expression of tattoos, people feel that Ah Chang, played by Zhao Wenzhuo, is a man who stands tall in the sky. For the enemy, he has a clear attitude, never soft, and the knife is bloody. To his brother, he is absolutely loyal, even if he is desperate, he will never hurt. For women, he will not be satisfied, and he will not force a deal. For his daughter, he is like a big tree, even if he sacrifices himself, he must keep his daughter safe. Therefore, the film is not only to show tattoos, but more importantly, through tattoos, people can see the charm of a man, which is exclusive to the temperament of oriental chivalry, and it is also the magical color contained in kung fu.
Zhao Wenzhuo can really fight, but in this film, the literary drama is the highlight, which also makes a role like Ah Chang more full of romantic colors. Lan Er, played by Wang Shengdi, is really clever, feeling that the eyes will be acted, simple and cute, making the whole film more agile, between fighting and killing, there is a peaceful effect of people's mood, which is a plus point of the film. Whether it is a Western girl or a Dongyang woman, it really makes people feel that the show is delicious, and the director is also letting go of himself, making the film very fragrant and attractive.
