What does the ending of Zhang Yimou s Shadow mean?

The ending of Zhang Yimou's film "Shadow" is relatively vague and can be interpreted in many ways.

At the end of the film, the protagonist "Shadow" is sent to assassinate the last villain "Overseer", but in the process of assassination, "Shadow" is found and hunted down by Overseer. In the final duel, "Shadow" used a trick to kill the Overseer, but he was also seriously injured and finally died under the Overseer's knife.

This ending can be interpreted in a variety of ways:

1."Shadow" finally failed, although he used a trick to kill the Overseer, but he also paid the price of his own life. This explanation emphasizes the brutality and ruthlessness of power and political struggles, as well as the insignificance and helplessness of individuals in them.

2.Although the "Shadow" eventually died at the hands of the Overseer, his spirit and will were passed on and continued. This interpretation emphasizes the worth and dignity of the individual and the need to stand up for one's beliefs and principles even in the face of failure and death.

3.There is no definitive explanation for the ending of the film, and the audience can interpret it according to their own understanding and feelings. This kind of ending can trigger the audience's thinking and **, which increases the artistic value of the film.

In short, the ending of "Shadow" is a relatively open ending, and the audience can interpret and ** according to their own understanding and feelings.

The meaning of his ending is that in the end, this shadow became the king of a country, this nameless and surnameless, even born in a very poor small village, he finally became the master of the scheme, became the winner of the final ending, and also obtained a woman.

At the end of the open-ended, Sun Li Sun Li's face was half bright and half dark, and in the end, did he open the door and go out to denounce Deng Chao. Yes or no, everyone can have a different ending in their hearts.

The nobody behind him successfully counterattacked and became the real king.

The film reviews are as follows:"Shadow" is a zen-like martial arts that explores individual consciousness. "Shadow" is moist, as if it grows out of the water, and there is a very strong Jiangnan water town.

texture. The film's narrative is simple and clear, but it also has relatively esoteric ethical expressions. The narrative of the story has both the genes of Eastern opera and the methods of Western drama, the first half and the second half are static and moving, the quieter the front, the more intense the back.

Zhang Yimou. The hazy beauty created by the screen frames the whole story in the grayscale of shadows.

, forming a very empty, but very cramped enclosed space.

Cinematic colors. Director Zhang Yimou uses material control instead of fading in the later stage, and all the costumes, props, and scenes are presented in black and white as much as possible, so as to finally achieve the feeling of Chinese ink painting, but it is not a pure black and white effect. Most of the live-action scenes in the film were shot on a real rainy day, with direct physical control of the colors, and the excess colors were not removed by a computer after filming.

Before "Shadow", Zhang Yimou wanted to try this style of ink painting many years ago.

It's an open-ended ending in itself, but there's no need to overguess. I don't think the king will be Tian Zhan, Xiao Ai's last look and expression are the main clues, from her angry and helpless running to the door, about to open the door and suddenly frightened and surprised, and then gradually calm down and think, you can guess that the shadow is likely to be killed by Tian Zhan. If the shadow controls the situation and becomes the king, Xiao Ai does not need to be frightened and think, because she was safe before the shadow became the king, but Tian Zhan was the king, she had no value, and she had to consider her own expediency, you must know that Xiao Ai is also a scheming girl.

Moreover, if Tian Zhan is the true king of Pei, then the eldest princess can't explain it, so the princess can't be fake. If it is a full set of fakes, how many lords can always be generals and charge into battle, which lord can carry out a surprise attack with more than 100 death row criminals? Even if he dares, the randomness and uncertainty of the condemned prisoners are too great, and he can't tell me that King Zhenpei has trained 100 personal guards to carry out surprise attacks in order to replace the army.

Moreover, in terms of Lao Mouzi's name that pays attention to artistic conception, Tian Zhan is fighting for Tian, and he should be a general who was born at the bottom and made his career in the army. Moreover, Tian Zhanwei asked the governor about him, and after he became king, it shows that Tian Zhan is also preparing for the future, and he is not without political consciousness and ambition.

There are three true endings to Shadow:

1, Tian Zhan (Ziyu's general) killed Jingzhou and established himself as king. First of all, Tian Zhan knew about the existence of the governor and the shadow, but he was not loyal to the king, because Ziyu had told him that after recovering the state of Jingzhou, he would make him the governor, and he still followed Ziyu, indicating that he was not loyal to the king.

And after Shadow Realm met him, he told him that he was the governor before and he was also the governor later, and he did not inform Ziyu, indicating that he was not loyal to Ziyu. Then he is not loyal to anyone, which shows that he is ambitious. It can be seen that he killed Wang and Ziyu outside the palace and waited for the shadow realm, and then announced the identity of the realm, killed the realm, and supported the army to respect himself.

2. After Jingzhou left the palace gate, he killed Tian Zhan, sealed the main hall, and burned Pei Palace. Xiao Ai was frightened because of the battle of killing fields in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou returned the bloody purse to Xiao Ai in the end, and Jingzhou was heartbroken.

Xiao Ai finally ran to the temple gate like crazy, and tried to open the door but failed, what made Xiao Ai suddenly want to run out, and couldn't run out and lay in the crack of the door to observe, it was a fire, because **, you can burn Ziyu's face that is exactly the same as Jingzhou, and Xiao Ai who finally knew.

3, the dead king is the same stand-in as Jingzhou, the real king appeared to kill Jingzhou after leaving the main hall in Jingzhou, and continued to rule Peiguo.

In the selection of actors, he uses actors who are not familiar with him, but his vision is unique. Especially Deng Chao, the first time I watched the first ten minutes, I didn't see that Du Du and Jingzhou were played by one person. This is thanks to Deng Chao's professionalism.

In terms of shooting, it is completely used to shoot in real time, no cutout, no head change, this difficulty is very great, and there are many shots of the two people in the same frame, but also add Sun Li, three people in the same frame, this is actually a picture at different times, and the set, camera angle, lighting must be exactly the same, this seems to be no advanced technology, purely manual operation, this workload is unimaginable.

As for the plot, because the script was changed from "Three Kingdoms Jingzhou", but I didn't want to be criticized by historians, I put the story in a vague historical background. But judging from the clothing, it is still the Han Dynasty.

The story revolves around a stand-in and a spy, recovering lost territory and fighting for the throne, Du Du Ziyu wants to use the stand-in to fight Yang Cang, and take the opportunity to use the hundred dead soldiers he raised to seize the state, and finally become the king. And Pei Liang used bitter tricks to let Tian Zhan gain the trust of the governor and let Du take the state for himself. Yang Cang bribed Lu Yan to get the news at any time, but after getting the fake news, he relaxed his vigilance and transferred 30,000 elite soldiers, which finally led to the loss of Jingzhou.

In fact, the film borrows a lot of plots from the Three Kingdoms. The plot reversal in the last half hour of the film is still very exciting, Pei Liang did not expect that the terminally ill Ziyu would be able to kill the assassin he sent. Ziyu didn't expect that his shadow would kill himself with his real body, and he lost his wife's life.

In the end, it turned out to be a stand-in and a spy.

At the beginning of the movie, subtitles are used to explain that Xiao Ai's choice is very difficult, and at the end of the movie, Xiao Ai is still lying on the crack of the door and looking out, just like she found the hole in the secret room, which is the blank space of the whole film, giving the audience unlimited imagination.

The movie "Shadow" is actually another bold attempt and innovation by Zhang Yimou. Of course, the audience also has their own opinions and opinions. In today's increasingly diverse society, we still hope to see a variety of styles of movies for different audiences to choose from.

People who don't understand history and the spirit of the scholars have to make a movie about history, and the most terrible thing is that they still insist on it, and if they really want to continue, at least they will get rid of the small-scale peasant mentality in their bones.

It's not good-looking, the plot is not good, the content is not good! The impact is not good, the characters are paranoid, full of fraud every step, immoral, and unethical! But there is one thing you can appreciate, that is, the acting skills of the scene design!

Garbage, as always, remains the same.

Actually, you can.

I think it's not bad: I mean the sentence, the ending makes people have different angles and different visions!

To be honest, the level has dropped too much, and I feel powerless, and I don't feel like a blockbuster at all, especially Guan Xiaotong! Sun Li acted so well! That's great! 80 points for general props in the plot, 65 points for costumes, and 50 points for scenes.

It's not good-looking, it's the same type of film as the city is full of ** armor, ambushed on all sides, and belongs to the same type of film.

Never look, superficial!
