The Grandmasters, a story that takes place during the fall of China's last dynasty, a time of chaos, division, and war that was also the golden age of Chinese martial arts, following the life and times of legendary martial arts master Ip Man. The film was directed and written by Wong Kar-wai and stars Tony Leung as Ip Man. It was released on 8 January 2013 in China. It was the opening film at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival in February 2013. The film was selected as part of the 2013 Hong Kong International Film Festival. and was nominated for Best Cinematography (Philippe Le Sourd) and Best Costume Design(William Chang Suk Ping) at the 86th Academy Awards.

The scene I picked it's where the heroine, Gong Er (Zhang Ziyi), saves assassin "The Razor" Yixiantian (Chang Chen). It's a two minutes scene but it showed a lot of things about the characters. the whole scene didn't have any dialogue just with a little quite background music (this scene was where they first met, later on in the film, the same music was used at their reunion). The scene took place on a train, which is really noisy in the background, there are Japanese soldiers on the train searching for someone. The lighting seemed natural, and it was yellow toned to show the old and rusty mood (also matches the time period that they were in), you can see the dust under the light which is a detail that shows the environment that they were in, in order to create some sort of calmness in chaos. Yixiantian has blood dripping from his fingers and the sweat on his forehead, did he just killed someone or did he get hurt it was unclear and untold in the scene. When Gong Er sees him taking out his razor, she sits next to him and covers their hand with her coat and pretending to sleep. What I liked about this frame were the different shots that illustrated this 20-second frame of the scene. The shots of this frame were taken from behind, from the other side of the window and from the front, most of them are close up shots. At the same time, the background noises fade and the music comes in to create ambiguity of some sort between them. The problem is that the Yixaintian knows that Ms. Gong Er is also a martial arts person. She even knows that she is a sixty-four-handed second lady from the Eight Diagrams of the Yimeng Palace. - Not necessarily! However, when the Yixiantian caressed the fur of the coat, he must have felt the courage of the "weak" woman in front of him.
