The Legend of Yu Dafu

As an outstanding modern Chinese writer, Yu Dafu went to Japan to study at the age of 17, witnessing and feeling the discrimination against Chinese by the Japanese, which aroused the ambition to study hard.He and Minata are good friends and fall in love with the young girl Takao.On one side is friendship and on the other side is love. Yu Dafu finally chose friendship and let Longer go with Kotoda... Later, the Japanese brutally killed Yu Dafu because of his experience and knowledge.This is the first historical character film starring Chow Yun-fat. Although it is a little awkward, it has a good reaction. He affectionately interprets the relationship process of this famous writer.Director Fang Lingzheng seems to be very obsessed with this love theme that spans China and Japan. The later filming "Christ of Nanjing" (starring Tony Leung) is adapted from the autobiographical novel of the same name by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, telling the love story of this famous Japanese writer with a Chinese girl when he came to China... Director Fang Ling discussed two themes here, one is the confusion of sex and pursuit of love by a young man Yu Dafu, and the other is love and hate for the Chinese and Japanese national issues. The former is romantic and subtle, and is deeply rooted in the essence of Eastern literary and artistic films. Some of the clips have the fresh and elegant feeling of European romance films.The strong patriotic enthusiasm shown by the latter moved the audience.Most of the films were filmed on site in Japan, and photographer Chen Peijia performed outstandingly, with high standards in terms of picture composition, color configuration and lens movement.The image effect is close to that of Japanese art films.The director performed well in this film, and was able to show off in form to coordinate with the content. It is a good movie.
