It’s more than fair to say that Wong Kar-wai’s movies are not easy to understand. The Hong Kong director rarely focuses on narratives in his works. Yet, he is undeniably an excellent storyteller who always feeds audiences with a visual and emotional feast. 说王家卫的电影难懂，这一点都不夸张。这位香港导演在其作品中很少强调叙事手法，然而不可否认的是，他是位优秀的叙事大师，总是能够为观众带来一次又一次打动人心的视觉盛宴。 His latest effort, The Grandmaster, is another of Wong’s typical movies: light on narrative, but full of his trademark elegance, the movie weaves the director’s familiar themes of love, loss and the corrosive nature of time around gorgeous martial arts sequences. 他的最新力作《一代宗师》又是一部典型的王氏电影：对于叙事轻描淡写，却充满了王氏特有的优雅印记。该片用一系列美轮美奂的武打片段，编织出王家卫所驾轻就熟的主题——爱与失去，以及岁月无情。 When Wong first announced his intention of creating the movie in 2002, it was described as a biopic of Ip Man, a real-life master of the Wing Chun school of martial arts. Even though we know that Ip will eventually prosper, Wong’s version of Ip (Tony Leung) is a portrait of a sad, isolated figure, and much less accessible than director Wilson Yip’s portrayal of the same character in the Ip Man series. |
