      Haoran upright

      Jet Li has become a classic martial arts movie character with this movie, and Tsui Hark has also become a representative of Chinese martial arts movies with this movie. In addition to the light humor in the movie, the beauty with heroes and the martial arts design, the success of "Once Upon a Time" is the kind of heroic righteousness that has influenced and infected the audience. When the audience lamented that several martial arts scenes in the movie were quite good-looking, they were deeply...

      On "Huang Feihong" (2)

      The era of "Huang Feihong": In my mind, Huang Feihong created by Xu Kejia and Jet Li is the ten tigers of Guangdong, the head of the civic group, No. 8 Chengnan Street, Foshan, specializing in stab wounds and beatings, giving medicines to doctors, and carrying forward the spirit of Chinese art. Huang Feihong, the second-generation descendant of Bao Zhilin, who is a permanent teacher and abusive! In the minds of many audiences, Jet Li is Huang Feihong. Compared with the previous versions, the...

      The lengthy opening of the Once Upon a Time series

      I have been exposed to the Huang Feihong series since I was a child through the movie channel, and I have only watched the third and fourth parts. Now I know that there are five parts in this series. The first three are Jie Ge and the last two are Zhuo Ge. Lin and the latter two Jingying. After watching the first one today, I went back to compare the three or four I watched before. I feel that the first one was not so smooth on the whole. The two-hour movie story is a bit long, maybe...

      Body, Humiliation and Nationalism

      Compare the expressions of nationalism in the Once Upon a Time movie series and the Ip Man series. During the semester of exchange in Aarhus, all the courses were more or less related to ethnic groups and nation-state issues. I began to think about some illusory but never quantitative sociological concepts, the public sentiment of Tocqueville, what is the so-called political culture? In our daily life, we always use the so-called Western...

      Thoughts on "Huang Feihong"

      I watch Tsui Hark's movies at home during the holiday, and I particularly like Tsui Hark's martial arts, 1991 movies, and now I watch them again, they are still very new. Several other characters added a lot of color to the movie. I like the fat pork Rong the most. He went straight and didn’t dare to be drunk by the master. The most impressive thing is that he knelt in the rain for a long time, and Master Huang went out and let him go. When he came in. There is also toothbrush Su. At first...

      Jet Li and Tsui Hark accomplished the Wong Fei Hung series, just as Chow Yun-fat and John Woo accomplished the heroic character...

      Like Rosamund Kwan, kissing with shadow and Wong Fei-hung is very creative....

      The first half hour was really ugly, and I was directly persuaded to quit. The biggest problem with the whole film turned out to be... the soundtrack volume is too low? It and others, for some unknown reason, make people feel awkward. Fighting is more exciting. Such a high evaluation should be related to the times, the so-called founder of new martial arts...

      The old kung fu movies are still quite classic, they are entertaining and a little thoughtful at the same time. No matter how high the kung fu is, it can't match the foreign guns of others! The decline of martial arts is also the sadness of the times... Unfortunately, it seems that everyone has forgotten this...

      The most classic soundtrack and original sound! Family and country, love and hatred are long-lasting, arrogance soars into the sky, men should be self-improvement! The best Jet Li, the action scenes are refreshing and sharp, the viewing is excellent, and it makes people excited to watch! It is different from Jackie Chan's acrobatic action style, but each has its own merits and distinctions. Fortunately, there is still Jet Li, so that Jackie Chan is invincible and lonely. Of course, the happiest...
