覆雨翻云

其实我个人还是比较喜欢TVB剧的。可能是我先看了《覆雨翻云》这本书的原因吧。。看了这部电影觉得恶心、、怎么书那么好看，拍成电影就这么大的出入。。要是不肯投入干脆就不要拍了。。玷污一大宗师的心血。。

What, when, where and who
Raymond Lam was poisoned in the beginning of the story, that's why he came to seek for Rain Li's master's help. As his journey begins, he was encountered the affairs in the martial world and meets the two women who loved him most deeply.

Rain Li is the quiet, nice girl; Michelle is the cruel, selfish but very lovely character, because she loves Raymond so very much that she dies because of him. As for Raymond, he loves Rain Li at first, because she is the nice one. But, at the same time, he build a great relationship with Michelle, but he did not realized he loves her until the moment she dies...

THE FACTORS
- Dislike Factor
Rain Li's Kuk Chi Wah
I don't think she can act, her acting skills were not very good at all. Also, in the novel, this girl suppose to be a very strong character, but Rain Li made the character so weak, which was very disappointing. Plus, she has no chemistry with Raymond at all, they might look good as a real couple, but on screen, it was not good. Maybe because of Michelle's character, her character has so much more chemistry with Raymond...

Evil Meng Shen Tung
He is evil, he is selfish, he kills too many people, he wants to reach the top, he is Rain's father. Basically, you will hate him

The hair style
Ok, the story sets in the Qing Dynasty, but how come some of the characters' hair looks like it was Song Dynasty? Also, Raymond's hair is too long, it got to go!

- Love Factor
Michelle Yip
You might think her character is very selfish, well, she loves Raymond way too much, and she did not want Raymond to leave her and be with Rain, so she will do anything or say anything to keep him, you can't blame her on that, in fact, you will totally support her. You also might think she is cruel, yeah, at the beginning, she does lots of cruel things, but ever since she falling love with Raymond, she did nothing against him, in fact, she does everything to protect him including dying for him! This is the character you will love and remember for a while...

The chemistry between Michelle and Raymond
If you saw Eternal Happiness, you will think Raymond and Michelle together on screen was good. After you saw this series, you will think their chemistry was perfect. Even though, in this series, Raymond may not love Michelle until the very last moment in the very last episode, but their chemistry still rocks the entire series and make the story a lot less boring. The reason is that Michelle loves Raymond too much, you will totally touched by her character, totally support her love for Raymond

Mimi Lo's Lee Sum Mui and Chan Kwok Bong's Kong Nam
Here comes the funny characters of the series, this couple makes the whole series very fun to watch. Everytime you see them together, or Mimi Lo by herself or Chan Kwok Bong by himself, you just want to laugh so bad.

- Pity Factor
Michelle Yip's Lai Shing Nam and the Ending ==> get ready your tissues
Basically, she died in her wedding day to prove her love to Raymond... OK, if you did not see the ending yet, I do not recommend you to read this paragraph... Well, in episode 19, Michelle's true identity was revealed, and Raymond finally realized she is a killer, of course he was mad, and he slaps her, and she is like, "you will regret this for the rest of your life!". In episode 20, Michelle's boss wants Michelle to kill Raymond, and she agrees. She disrupts the wedding of Mimi Lo and Chan Kwok Bong, and poisoned Rain Li, she told Raymond, the only way he wants to save Rain is to marry Michelle! OK, in their wedding, Michelle was wearing white dress, and Raymond realized Michelle was dying... Michelle told him, that she will never do anything to against him. She takes the risk to kill her boss, but was injured deeply, before she died, she just wants to be Raymond's wife, that is her only wish, that's why she poisoned Rain and that was the only way Raymond can marry her... Raymond felt so sad, and he finally realized he loves Michelle very deeply and willing to spent his life with her...

- How Come Factor
The Title
This is called "Lofty Waters Verdant Bow", so you will assume there must be something to do with the verdant bow. However, you only get to see the verdant bow once, and about five minutes, that is when Raymond uses the verdant bow to go through the traps and get the kung fu book. It was short, and I don't think that part was a key element to the story, so why uses the verdant bow as the title? What is that has to deal with the story?

Best Scenes
1. Some of the fighting scenes, those special effects were pretty cool. Also, there are lots of flying going on, hehe...
2. Whenever Raymond and Michelle together, especially the time they spent together in the island
3. Raymond and Michelle's weddings, they have two. The first time, it was fake, Raymond keeps telling Michelle, "it's fake, don't get real" while they getting married. The second time, it was for real, Michelle forces Raymond to marry her, way to go, girl! But, she dies in her wedding day, that is when Raymond finally realized how much he loves her...
4. Whenever Mimi Lo and Chan Kwok Bong together, they are so cute and so funny as individual and as a couple.
5. There is a guy, who likes Mimi at the beginning, but he is way too "knowledgeable", everytime you see him, he is making poems, it was really funny to watch this guy and his attitudes...
6. Fiona Yuen's Kam Yee and her chemistry with that Hiu Fung. Those two might not look so "fit" on screen, but you will appreciate how Hiu Fung won Kam Yee's heart.

THE COMMENTS
- The Performances
This award totally belongs to Michelle Yip, ever since Eternal Happiness, she is just getting better and better, and you will just like her more and more. She even improves on her crying skills, check her character's dying scene in episode 20, you will know what I am talking about... As for Raymond, it is just the same old Raymond you saw in Eternal Happiness, at the beginning, he is dumb, later, he gets smarter, but he got stuck in between two girls who love him the most... As for Rain Li, she still needs improvement, I didn't like her character, her acting, and her chemistry with Raymond... The supporting roles, Mimi Lo and Chan Kwok Bong both did a great job, you might see this two more often, I think TVB should promote them more... Also, Fiona Yuen's performances were great as well... As for the villains, none of them were great, so no words on that

- The Storyline
I didn't really expect this story to be pretty fun to watch. The storyline was simple, but it was good, it has it's sad moments, and also has lots of funny scenes. However, there were some little parts, where you just did not care at all, for example, whenever Raymond and Rain together

- Worth Watching?
If you are a Michelle or a Raymond fan, this is the series you have to see! Even though if you are not a fan of theirs, you still want to give this series a try, and you might became a fan of theirs...

这部剧让我彻底喜欢上林峰，林峰的风行烈可以说得上是集霸气腹黑仁义痴情飘逸于一身的完美男子汉，想不爱都不行。导演让我很佩服，不是佩服他有才，而是佩服他的胆量，什么都敢拍，比如民族纷争这种台词就这么赤裸裸直白白的放出来，难道不怕那威严的广电总局给您和谐掉么？现在还能从网上找到种子真是广电不知道发了什么善心了。这也是一个经典电视剧，立意于民族纷争和大同世界的理想，没有设定单纯的好人与坏人，只设定了不同的立场，将各种矛盾娓娓道来。就算是汉人，马奶酒初喝觉得腥，喝久了就会喜欢上。用一个辩证的眼光看待对敌的双方，其实哪方都是没有错的。正道中人说庞班坏，但是蒙古人把他当英雄，他为了救风行烈牺牲了自己以命换命，正道中人有的优点他都有，他的缺点正道中人未必没有，所谓的善与恶其实只是只在人言，大家民族立场不同而已。所以看剧的时候我总觉得风行烈这个大魔头对他的正道朋友仁至义尽，他的正道朋友却对他赶尽杀绝，至死不肯谅解他，仅是个人看法。剧中有一句台词让我印象很深刻，“其实，这都是源于一条僵化的法令“，很深刻的台词启人深思，不记得谁说的了。TVB的厉害之处就是能将虚幻武侠剧与现实联系起来，想想前段时间的昆明恐怖事件，人们的各种反应，真是有种眼熟的感觉。最后风行烈与韩柏的决斗安排在军人冢进行，不得不佩服导演的构思巧妙，将整部剧化作一首悲壮的战歌。大家都是追求和平，为什么不能退一步和平共处？因为国仇家恨，战争已打响，谁退了谁就是狗熊，这就是军人的战歌。中间情节相比于正宗斗心眼玩权术的剧来说有些幼稚，却突出了武侠剧的悲壮和人性理想化后的唯美，人物行为尽显侠着豪放品行和仁义情怀，这大概也是武侠剧一直以来可以打动我的原因。

   最近才把覆雨翻云真正地从头到尾看完了， 或许很多人不喜欢这部改自黄易小说的电视剧，但看完的感觉还不错，没有看过原著小说，所以现在阐述的是从电视剧中得到的感受，因为喜欢林峰看了这部电视剧，看完后再次沦陷，果然还是很喜欢他塑造的角色。风行烈，一个蒙古皇裔，重情重义的男子，机智，英勇却不失温柔，永远希望和平，减少杀戮，大家安安稳稳得过日子，很大同的思想。义是武侠英雄都不愿放下的，可是当命运把人推到悬崖边上，人就会很无奈得要做出自己的决定，可能那不是愿意做的，当风云汹涌的时候，想要改变，代价太高，看着身边的人一个一个离去，走到浪尖，真的很辛苦。情也是武侠剧中不可少的部分，风行烈之前对冰云的迷恋，后来对梦瑶的爱恋，一切都是付出，或许真正爱一个人就是愿意为她付出所有吧，即使被伤了一次又一次也无所谓，爱情总是那么美好，在一切还不知道的时候，没有立场的对立，一切都会平凡而顺利，不过真正的爱是要经历考验的，在经历一切后，爱情也会变得淡定，心累了，不想再去理一切江湖朝廷事，只做自己，只为自己，自私一次，那种每天能跟喜欢的人驰骋大漠的平静生活更让人向往，隐归山林是英雄最好的结局。

郭羡妮还是很美的说，喜欢的郭政鸿，就是悲剧。
连自己心爱的女人也可以牺牲，作孽。

故事发生在明朝，失忆的风行烈（林峰 饰）并不知道自己是蒙古国王子，追求逍遥自由的本性表露无遗，更为了博取靳冰云（郭羡妮 饰）红颜一笑，决定夺取武林宝剑覆雨剑，因而与韩柏（黄宗泽 饰）不打不相识，更结交成为好友。那边夺回的覆雨剑却被冰云送给大魔头庞班（郭政鸿 饰），风行烈始料未及。原来冰云一心所钟情的是庞班，为了爱人不惜出卖风行烈，累及风行烈失去所有武功还被追杀，幸得韩柏相救。此时韩柏士别三日当刮目相看，已得到赤尊信传授毕生功力成为武林高手。
　　庞班所作的一切其实是为了辅佐风行烈复国，而复国最大的阻碍来自韩柏。要发挥覆雨剑最大的功效，就必须要练成“剑心通明”，江湖上能与风行烈共练此剑的，唯有慈航静斋大弟子秦梦瑶（佘诗曼 饰），然而身为大明的支柱，秦梦瑶立场坚定。风行烈唯有用情来打动她。而明室之中，亦有内奸，最有才能的燕王朱棣面对天命及冤屈，亦要做出重大的选择。

昨晚熬夜看完了覆雨翻云，这部电视剧播出的时候是2006年，当时的我读中学，晚上要晚自修，每次回来都是已经差不多播完了，对于喜欢林峰的我来说，最近因为想回顾电视剧，所以就重新回顾了这部片。
一开始看的时候相信很多人都讨厌冰云（郭羡妮）这个角色，一次又一次的伤害了风行烈（林峰），可以说前面的情节真的很虐心，有几次差点就哭了。后来却觉得冰云真的很可怜，一切都是为了自己最爱的那个男人，庞斑，付出了所有。
庞斑（郭政鸿）可以说是本片大boss，最坏的角色，可是看到戏的中间，我却不忍心这位角色的牺牲，尽管我是不赞同他为了复业大国，而牺牲自己的女人，也许真的是国家比儿女私情更重要吧。看下去才觉得他也不是最坏的角色，这部片没有坏的角色，只有你我所站在不同的立场。
风行烈也许是这部片最悲的角色，一直为了爱人付出，到头来却得到了冰云的那一剑，没有武功的他却也被师父的憎恨，师父最后的死也是含着仇恨死去，因为你我的立场不一样，为的是不同的国家和名族，而不得不和梦瑶（佘诗曼）对立，就算最后与全世界对抗，他也不想伤害到任何人，不过事与愿违，命运也许就是那么的残酷。
秦梦瑶喜欢上了一个蒙古王子，却一开始不能不看着那个男人，风行烈，为了自己的师姐不顾一切而感到无奈，爱的人不是自己，还默默地付出。还要因为要守卫自己的国家而用剑去刺穿最爱人的心。和一般的女孩子不一样，和自己的师姐不一样，不是把爱情放在第一位。跟庞斑一样为了国家，放弃爱情，却也做不到庞斑的绝情，也许因为女性感性的一面吧。
这部电视剧的评分不高，有可能是因为和原著小说出入太大，我也没有看过小说，我只是论这部电视剧，我个人觉得是分数低了，剧里的角色都表现出了各有的性格和特点，也没有真正的邪或者错，战争原本就是有各方所为对的理由而开始的，历史也会只有给胜利的一方为正义的，成王败寇。。。
其实个人觉得这部电视剧更多是爱情片，风行烈由此至终都是那个感性的人物，却被命运让他不得不背负自己族人的责任和包袱。当时最后也是因为爱，而放弃了随手可得的江山，可能这也算是这个完美结局吧，男女主角最终在一起，可是我还是觉得结局是实现大同理想，一统江山会好点吧不过这样也违背了历史性，纠结啊。。。。。。风行烈做到了情义，对身边的人的帮助和保护，还有对心爱的人放弃所有。爱情也许是他生命最主要的吧，其实很多男人也会最终选择爱情，而放弃其他事情，也不能说这些失败，只是生活就是这样啊，随心随意，开开心心的活着才是一生最应该让我们去做的事情，不是吗，就那么一辈子。。。
大爱林峰，大爱风行烈~~~~~真的很希望林峰可以回到tvb，拍多点这样的电视剧，也许也只剩下想想了吧。
