      A classic cannot be surpassed, even, without a sequel

      Before watching it, I revisited Ang Lee's version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 2000, and found that I had an answer in my heart. I felt that the classic could not be surpassed, and even a sequel was not needed. Because the sequel is too straightforward, it has made all kinds of intriguing thinking spaces left by the former director tasteless. Except for Michelle Yeoh, everyone else has nothing to do with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", so don't put up a name to attract the box...

      only nagging

      I can't remember when the first movie was released. I'm too lazy to search. It should be young, because I only saw the introduction on TV at that time. , I don't know how many years later, I read it on the Internet, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's initial contact was a TV series, it seems that Jiang Qinqin and He Rundong, and then I read the novel fragment, and now I have forgotten most of it.
      And when I grew up, I was still interested in kung fu film and television novels. I watched...

      Qingming Baojian: a tasteless movie between leSe and passing grade

      Personally, the quality of "Qingming Sword" is between leSe and pass, and it is a tasteless movie. The first time I watched this movie, the crew was fighting with Ang Lee. Strictly speaking, it was the crew of Qingming Baojian who was fighting against the imaginary Ang Lee. This movie was also ruined by a self-righteous gang war. In marketing, Ang Lee, as a master figure, did not answer at all. The crew abruptly raised the expectations of "The Sword of Qingming" to the height of "Crouching...

      "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of Qingming" - Yuan Baye's feelings in the rivers and lakes

      Yuan Baye has his own feelings in the rivers and lakes. Compared with Li An's leisurely atmosphere, he is a simple and direct enthusiasm. His movies always lose in the story, and the same goes for Qingming Baojian. In my case, it's not as bad as rumored, but it doesn't make me like it either. The Yuan clan in the movie promotes morality but does not obey the rules. Winning is the name of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but also losing because of this name.

      In terms of plot, does...

      Director Yuan, I was wrong, what a great sword of Qingming!

      Saying that you and Li An are just a martial artist, it's not hurting you, that's the truth. In fact, I didn't have much hope before watching this movie. It was just boring. As a result, you have refreshed the lower limit of my movie viewing. Even my little desire to watch a movie that is not painful or itchy is used by you to kill my single time. The Qingming Great Sword was brutally strangled. After watching a movie for so many years, I really have no experience of leaving the venue early....

      It's not successful, but martial arts are more flamboyant and less artistic, so I can't say it's bad, each has its own strengths; the problem of soft light is not that serious, mainly the framing and script, and the big screen will be refreshed on...

      Using Chinese martial arts elements as a selling point to lick the feet of Western audiences, I also want to make money in the mainland. When making a spicy chicken martial arts movie, I just said don't use a classic name, and the director Yuan Heping asked the pharmacy...

      The content of the guardian sword feels a lot like plagiarizing the plot of "7 Samurai". Catering to Western tastes, as long as the plot can be explained well, the focus is on the picture, and the visual impact is gone. 3.5 stars, not ugly popcorn...

      I admired myself more and more, and at a glance I watched a bunch of Chinese kung fu films played by foreigners who looked like Chinese... I knew almost every Chinese actor at a glance, probably because I watched too many American dramas. The whole movie feels that Aunt Ziqiong talks too much, and the plot is simple enough to the level of elementary school students' writing. two stars at...

      The second brush is over. It's not bad, but the overall plot is very bland, the lines are translated and some laughs are blunt, and there are a few places that are embarrassing to hear cancer. I understand that this is a dubbed production. Except for Aunt Ziqiong and Uncle Bullet, the few who are accustomed to the Chinese language will also take care of the rhythm of the lines... But I still brushed it twice, without him, Uncle Bullet is just a fan... Looking forward to Ip Man...

    Behind the scenes gags

    During the pre-production stage, the production company asked Ang Lee to be the director, but Ang Lee declined. Hong Kong director Yu Ren Tai also declined because he was worried that he would not be able to surpass the classics. In the end, Woo Ping Yuen agreed to direct the film despite the difficulties.
    A fire broke out in the filming crew of the film in New Zealand. Two studios were burned, and a very gorgeous main scene was built...

    Evaluation action

    The story of "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon II: The Green Destiny" is very conventional. A treasure triggers disputes between the rivers and lakes. The two camps of chivalry and evil form a struggle. Strictly follow the structure of the three-act drama: at the beginning, the heroes gather and show their magical powers, the middle part faces shocks, there are death, injury and love debt, and the climax is the prodigal son's return and...
