At the end of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Yujiaolong jumped and jumped off the cliff where the clouds were misty and bottomless.
Luo Xiaohu, standing on the cliff, was silent and in tears.
The audience in front of the screen, feeling uneasy and overwhelmed...
Everyone can't figure it out, why do you want to commit suicide?
Ming Ming people are beautiful, noble in birth, and superior in martial arts!
Born in this flashy world, where is it not in line with the wishes of Jiaolong Sister?
As a fan of Ang Lee, Madame will unveil this "mystery case" for everyone today.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" ></h1>
At the beginning of the book, only by understanding the Jade Jiaolong can we understand "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
The film is about her jianghu dream, and the step-by-step disillusionment of the jianghu dream.
The excellent portrayal of the image of Yujiaolong is an important representation of the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Zhang Ziyi is indispensable.
First of all, who is Yu Jiaolong (Zhang Ziyi)?
She is the thousand gold of the Jade Lord of the Nine Gates of the Capital City, and is the only flesh and blood.
Born noble, it is definitely incarnated with a golden key.
In the deep boudoir of the high-walled compound, it is inevitable that red tape and etiquette are indispensable.
This is exactly what Jiaolong hates, but fortunately, she has another hope, that is, secretly learning martial arts.
With his talent and hard work, he soon surpassed his teacher's wife "Blue-Eyed Fox" (Played by Zheng Peipei).
But she was not ecstatic, but extremely disappointed. She said:
I can't see the edge of heaven and earth, I don't know where to go!
A man who led her in, but could no longer lead her upwards.
This was the first time that the Jade Dragon felt disillusioned, faintly faint.
The problem is that Miss Qianjin, who has a unique martial art in the air, is bound by reality.
Her identity determines that she cannot walk the rivers and lakes in an honorable manner, but must follow traditional etiquette.
However, her jianghu dream was not shattered, on the contrary, it was more intense, so she had to become a two-faced person.
Well-behaved in front of people, is a talented and beautiful Miss Qianjin, everyone is beautiful.
After the people are arbitrary, they are the black horses of the martial forest that rampage, and they are untamed.
With the team of their father to Ili, they came to the Gobi.
In the vast desert, she staged a very romantic love history with Luo Xiaohu, who grew up as an orphan.
Through the persistent snatching of a comb, the director shows Yu Jiaolong's strong and paranoid personality.
She stunned the little tiger, looking around alone on the Gobi but unable to find a way back, metaphorically confusing the future.
Later, xiaohu saw that her parents were struggling to find her and persuaded her to go home, in fact, this is still respect for secular moral concepts.
Moreover, Xiao Hu's martial arts were at most equal to hers, which could not give her life more possibilities and surprises.
It is not so much that the two are the lingering flight of love, but rather the release of the youthful energy of the jade dragon.
In the order of the capital, she had been suppressed for too long.
Therefore, she resolutely left the desert, which was her second disillusionment.
However, the Jade Jiaolong really waded into the jianghu, starting from the appearance of the Green Nether Sword.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="133" >2</h1>
At the palace of Grandpa Belle (Lang Xiong), Yu Jiaolong saw the Green Hell Sword.
She has an unconcealed envy for Yu Xiulian (Yang Ziqiong), who runs the rivers and lakes, and she says:
What I yearn for most is the chivalrous child in the novel, choosing my beloved person and loving him in my own way, so as to be truly happy.
It can be said that the happiness she wants is "simple" and clear:
Love the people you want to love, do what you want to do, and live freely.
The jianghu in Yujiaolong's heart seems to be synonymous with freedom.
Therefore, she must insist on breaking into the rivers and lakes, and only by immersing herself in the rivers and lakes can she be free, and can she vent the superpower contained in her martial arts.
As everyone knows, the Green Hell Sword is a metaphor for the rivers and lakes, and it also represents people's desires.
The Green Nether Sword not only opened up her vast world, but also pulled her into the abyss of hatred and struggle.
Just once she entered the jianghu, she was always reckless, did not know where to go, and had a self-conscious and playful jianghu dream.
Yu Jiaolong steals the Green Nether Sword from Grandpa Belle's mansion, directly leading to the appearance of the blue-eyed fox and Li Mubai (Zhou Runfa).
During the battle between the two sides, Shi Niang learned that the "disciple" was hiding the martial arts skills, and the martial arts were far above her.
Jealousy turns into hatred, and she wants to kill Yu Jiaolong.
Originally, Tuo Yu Xiulian handed over the Qing hao sword to Grandpa Belle, but Li Mubai, who intended to retreat from the jianghu, re-entered the jianghu.
In revenge for killing the Master, he wants to blade the blue-eyed fox.
If it is a straight-forward revenge and hatred, the story will be much simpler, but it is not:
There is no one in the eyes of the jade jiaolong who has just entered the jianghu, and the so-called rules and regulations of the jianghu are cloudy, and she does not care at all;
As the Master of Wudang, Li Mubai admired Yu Jiaolong's talent and insisted on accepting her as an apprentice.
The disobedient and unsympathetic Jade Jiaolong still acts arbitrarily, and the rivers and lakes are once again in the limelight.
The battle in the bamboo forest is the turning point of the whole story, and the reckless and arrogant Yujiaolong finally "sees" the reality:
It turned out that the master who was secretly protecting her all the time actually had the abacus of waiting for an opportunity to kill her.
Li Mubai, who always seemed to be unable to get along with her, saved her life at a critical moment.
It was only at this moment that Yu Jiaolong realized that the original nature of the jianghu was indistinguishable, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
It is also in Li Mubai that she knows what is the morality of the jianghu and how to be a "hero"?
Unfortunately, it was too late.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="134" >3</h1>
Shi Niang and Li Mubai died of hatred for each other.
Yu Jiaolong stood on the edge of the cliff, and the confusion she had told Shi Niang at first was still lingering in her heart and had not been resolved:
That indescribable sense of disillusionment and nothingness occupies the heart and suffocates it, and it cannot find a reason to live.
Obviously, Yu Jiaolong could not settle her "debauchery and love of freedom" soul, and she did not understand:
In the end, what man faces is not the jianghu of fighting, killing and killing, but the inescapable desire within the self.
Li Mubai said, hold your hand tightly inside there is nothing, let go of your hand and you have everything!
This is a warning to the world that only by breaking through prejudices and obsessions can we obtain a free and happy life.
The inevitability of Yujiaolong jumping off the cliff can also be said to be the disillusionment of his jianghu dream, and the three people are closed.
1. Blue-eyed fox
Shi Niang, who had followed Xi Wu since she was 10 years old, only buried the misfortune because she concealed the sword technique.
The two turned from kindness to hatred, and Shi Niang wanted to wait for an opportunity to kill Yu Jiaolong, but finally died under Li Mubai's sword.
The blue-eyed fox loses in illiterate, illiterate, and not virtuous enough.
She didn't know that with her two brushes, she shouldn't "provoke" Yu Jiaolong.
As a result, the dragon transformed into an "evil dragon" step by step.
2, "half a day cloud" Luo Xiaohu
Although he truly loves dragons, martial arts "can't"!
XiaoHu can only meet the physiological demands of Yujiaolong as a woman, and cannot nourish her at a higher level.
As Jade Jiaolong said, the little tiger is still a big boy.
For her spiritual world, Xiao Hu had no idea.
3. Wudang Grandmaster Li Mubai
Single-mindedly guiding Yu Jiaolong to the right path, let her experience what is the chivalry of the jianghu.
But the way the leader taught was really annoying and did not impress the dragon.
He was victimized by the insidiousness of her teacher's mother, and since then there has been no one to guide her, no guide.
The deaths of both Shi Niang and Li Mubai also made Yu Jiaolong realize the impermanent tragedy of people in the jianghu:
Even if the martial arts are high, life may fall at any time.
As a result, Yu Jiaolong was incomparably dazed and lonely.
She knew she wanted to live freely, but she didn't know how to do it.
Only once you die can you be liberated.
It can also be said that she has seen the end of her life, and there is nothing worth nostalgic for.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="135" >4</h1>
Knowing that Yu Jiaolong died of a double disillusionment of ideals and life was not enough to penetrate her.
We also need to go back to her background, miss Qianjin's identity.
Yu Jiaolong's identity not only shackled her jianghu dreams, but also greatly limited her vision of pursuing beautiful love.
Under the value of being a door-to-door household, she can only marry the Famous Hou Lu family, not an orphan robber like Luo Xiaohu.
Regardless of the economic, political and cultural background, her relationship with Xiaohu is difficult to sustain.
Unless Yu Jiaolong completely broke with the original family.
The ancient label of identity has deeply affected the all-round free development of human beings.
Don't say the age of the story, even now, Yu Jiaolong's wish is still difficult to truly realize.
Although the "martial arts" (skills) can be maximized, marriage cannot marry whoever wants to.
In fact, it was two men who "made" her.
Luo Xiaohu gave her physical liberation and allowed her to experience the spark of female life.
Li Mubai is the spiritual guide, and he is bitterly concerned about her mental growth.
However, none of them were able to bring Yu Jiaolong into the ideal paradise, and they only walked halfway.
Therefore, the cause of Yujiaolong jumping off the cliff is very complicated.
Her paranoia, rebellion, and anger are precisely the contradictions of her identity, personality, and pursuit.
Or rather, her existence is well ahead of its time, not allowed and tolerated by society.
For her, the jianghu has its own fight and kill - it can be called "fun", but this is only the appearance.
Truly stepping into the jianghu, the people I met, except for Luo Xiaohu, who loved her wholeheartedly, everyone else was preaching:
It is nothing more than an emphasis on abiding by the rules and paying attention to etiquette, which is a fatal blow to her.
It turned out that the jianghu that he had in mind was the same as the temple where his father worked, and the core was still the three words of "obeying the rules".
Yu Jiaolong wants to be free and happy, but the rivers, lakes, temples, and families cannot be satisfied, because their inner order is all obedient!
Because of this realization, whether she went into exile or returned to her family, she would not get what she wanted.
Therefore, the sense of disillusionment caused by having a solid cultural foundation determined her final choice.
Jumping off a cliff is both a commentary on the legend told by Luo Xiaohu and the only way for her to redeem herself:
If you are not free, you would rather die!
In other words, Yu Jiaolong's talent could not support her ambitions.
She knew what she wanted, but she didn't know how to get it.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a martial arts version of Sense and Sensibility that tells:
Only a high balance of reason and sensibility is true freedom.
Li Mubai said: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the rivers and lakes, why shouldn't people have it in their hearts? There is murder in the sword, why not in human feelings?
Therefore, instead of rushing into the jianghu, it is better to recognize yourself first!
