Why can t I understand the Ultimate Edition, and can someone who understands it help me explain?

Yo-Yo Ma's solo adds color to the film What he did for 4 years was to restore the picture, and it was not until a week before ** went to Cannes that the work was stopped. For this work more than ten years ago, Wong Kar-wai found a foreign stunt company to restore it frame by frame with the latest digital technology. The effect is very obvious on the big screen, the colors of the picture are more intense, and each picture is like an oil painting.

In addition, there is the previously revealed soundtrack, the famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma re-scored the "Ultimate Edition". It all started when Yo-Yo Ma and his Silk Road Band performed in Hong Kong, and after the performance, Wong Kar-wai felt that Yo-Yo Ma** felt very similar to the movie "East Evil and West Poison", so he approached Yo-Yo Ma to help produce 7 new soundtracks. Talking about Yo-Yo Ma's joining, Wong Kar-wai said:

In the film, Yo-Yo Ma has a solo. He does a lot of things to the whole picture, it's the kind of sound you can't imagine, only the cello can do it, it's amazing. In fact, the soundtrack of the film is not completely reborn, it still retains some parts of the original Chen Xunqi, and some of the tunes played by Yo-Yo Ma were also made by Chen Xunqi for the film at that time.

In the end, in "Ultimate Edition", Yo-Yo Ma's was used in the front, and some ** was used in the middle or Chen Xunqi. Post-editing adjusts the order of the characters' appearances The original version of "East Evil and West Poison" cut Wang Zuxian's scenes most thoroughly, and there is only one side face in the popular version on the market. It was rumored that Wang Zuxian's version would be the first time in "Ultimate Edition", but in fact it was not, Wang Zuxian still only had a side face.

The entire film is less than a minute in total than the original film. Added a close-up shot of Carina Lau riding a horse in the water, as well as a large picture of sparkling water droplets to highlight the character of Brigitte Lam. In addition, in order to express his respect for Leslie Cheung's imperial expedition, Wong Kar-wai left a special scene for him at the end of the film.

Not only did not many scenes were added, but some martial arts scenes were also deleted, such as the scene where Tony Leung killed the horse thief was cut short. Compared to the 100-minute length of the original version, the running time of "Ultimate Edition" is only 93 minutes. The most obvious change should be the changing of the seasons with subtitles:

Spring, summer, autumn, winter, and then spring again. From this detail, it may be seen that Wong Kar-wai is trying to make the new version of "East Evil and West Poison" more understandable. During the filming of "East Evil and West Poison", Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung, Leung Ka-fai, Jacky Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Carina Lau, and Wong Zuxian, except for the protagonist Leslie Cheung, the other shots were very scattered, so that Wong Kar-wai and Cheung Shuping had to write narration during editing to string these scenes into a story.

In the end, there are a lot of clues in the film, which makes some viewers confused. 15 years later, Wong Kar-wai readjusted the order of some places, such as Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, and Lin Qingxia in the memory, and the order of the appearance of several women has changed, making "Ultimate Edition" easier for people to understand than the previous version. Beg.

You can understand it by looking at Gu Long's **.

The original version of East Evil and West Poison is very good. It's a classic. However, because the language characteristics and plot are relatively complex, few people can understand it after reading it once. So much so that this most classic movie I've ever seen was buried.

By 08, to commemorate Leslie Cheung (Ouyang Feng in the story), the film was re-cut and pasted, color processing, language processing, and simplification of the movie. I don't like it. So that most people can understand it.
