1 ) plot
The film opens up with an assassination attempt on the king of Joseon Dynasty at some sort of reception. The attempt is foiled by a special security squad, and specifically by its leader, Gyu-yup. A series of deaths of prominent politicians leads to a nighttime battle in which one member, a female, of what is apparently an assassin duo, is captured. Gyu-yup recognizes this female, and after her torture in prison (of which Gyu-yup is left in charge when she refuses to divulge any information), the film flashes back to Gyu-yup's past.
Shortly after the Japanese invasions of Korea in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, a military unit of elite soldiers (made up of students of the Clear Wind Shining Moon sword school) is created to ensure the peace and the security/safety of the country. In its center, the two best swordsmen, Ji-hwan and Gyu-yup, are also two inseparable friends. But a political coup d'etat plot (it is referred to as a "rebellion" in the film) forces Gyu-yup, threatened with the death of his entire unit of elite soldiers, to not only kill his fencing master, but also Ji-hwan, who is seeing the female assassin from the night battle, Shi-young (who was also a warrior at the time, and the daughter of the school's fencing master). Having had to behead his master, kill his best friend and his best friend's lover, and lead his troops against members of their own training school (as one character protests, "we have killed the brothers with whom we shed blood"), we are led to understand that Gyu-yup loses some part of himself.
The film returns to the present, five years after the events in the flashback. Gyu-hup is known as a cold and cruel commander, nicknamed "the human butcher." The discovery of a sword during the night battle that carries the seal of Gyu-yup's old unit (such swords, with the exception of Gyu-yup's, were apparently destroyed and at least not in use by this time, so the only other person who could be wielding one is Ji-hwan) confirms the fact that Ji-hwan is back as well (and not dead as Gyu-yup had thought). The current king (the usurper general who, in Gyu-yup's flashback, is the commander who forces him to choose between the deaths of his men and leading his men against Ji-hwan, Shi-young, and the training master) himself becomes embroiled in what amount to attempts to cover up his tracks and betrays at least one of his foremost commanders by ordering his assassination. The king then plans an excursion aimed at drawing out Ji-hwan and Shi-young (who we are made to understand was allowed to be freed by Ji-hwan in disguise under Gyu-yup's watch) into the open where they are meant to be killed.
The excursion (of which Ji-hwan and Shi-young become aware) takes place, and the king is almost killed by Ji-hwan, but he is momentarily distracted by the death of Shi-young at the hands of the king's elite bodyguard and troops. The king, stabbing Ji-hwan with a heretofore hidden dagger, pushes Ji-hwan away; and the king continues to look on as Ji-hwan battles more troops. Almost defeated, Gyu-yup, finally moved by compassion and his past relationship with Shi-young and Ji-hwan, comes to Ji-hwan's rescue. He pleads for his and Ji-hwan's freedom (Gyu-yup had promised his neck to the current king during the rebellion in order to save his own troops from execution, and the now-king took this to mean this promise was binding in perpetuity), and when that is met with silence, he and Ji-hwan engage the troops that have surrounded them. The movie ends by freezing the old friends, united in battle again, in action against the usurper king's troops.
不知道為什么,看不下去呢...欣賞不了韓國的歷史片..
再次展現(xiàn)了韓國人的搞基情緒!記得還有個什么《王的男人》,一個勵精圖治的君王和女人爭風吃醋搶男人。《清》這片子也是放著美麗的女人不愛,專愛男人,真是越來越搞不清韓國小白臉,好歹咱國的偽娘不至于愛男人,最終都是喜歡女人滴!劇情內(nèi)容也是胡攪蠻纏,搞不清為什么的片子??!
個人在政治中的渺小
比較血腥,個別處不能理解(主要是角色們的個人行為吧),大概因為我沒從頭看?
好吧,本來為英雄末路感傷了一把,到最后越發(fā)發(fā)現(xiàn)有基情...
最后的時候,我完全被感動了。
看畫面,dvd;看劇情,80年代;看武打,90年代;
我很喜歡里面一位類似丞相人被謀殺時身上穿的白金古裝。
技術(shù)角度看,從攝影,武打設計,到配樂,剪輯,基本上是八零年代大陸武打片的水準。劇情角度看,故事結(jié)構(gòu)松散,文戲武戲相互脫節(jié),雖以真實歷史事件為背景,但主創(chuàng)人員既無意真實還原歷史,又無力以現(xiàn)代視角解構(gòu)重建,巨大投資只換來一個不倫不類的爛片。
前半段很棒,後半段節(jié)奏太慢,洩氣。整個創(chuàng)作意識比路陽的《繡春刀》要好,更寫實,也能出導演竭盡全力想在鏡頭的設置上創(chuàng)造新意,能以這樣的路數(shù)發(fā)展下去,韓國古裝片會很了不起。《繡春刀》在寫實性上還是做太多妥協(xié)了,要改一定要放棄洪金寶式的武打風格,徐浩峰就很好。下載地址:magnet:?xt=urn:btih:b92b97ea5b475e7c917d45e5e36b6b830a4c70e5
在DVD上看過電影
很平庸。
德版藍光
還不錯的.
strangely unforgettable
作為一部一半時間都在打打殺殺的電影,故事講不好就算了,連打斗都這么難看,真是夠了呢!
如果這是國人某導演的東西,還不得被自己人罵個狗血噴頭啊......
大概就是講兩個男的,是好朋友,疑有基情。后來一個去了駐守邊境,一個在宮內(nèi),邊境的官員反叛了,兩個好友因為站在了不同的隊伍而分別履行不同的職責,從而成為了敵人。最后兩個人聯(lián)手。
棒子拍的基情滿滿的片子。。。所謂國家組織的精英部隊,還不是被人當工具使?所謂“迎著清風,看著明月”的盛世也只是口號罷了。
