Because I really like the theme song of the chorus version of Jackie Chan and Kim Hee Sun, I couldn't help but read the movie in the middle of the night. It's too late, sorry in advance.

The film as a whole is good, but there are several minor shortcomings. First, the plot logic is not coherent, and the narrative chain is not complete. In addition, there are some historical knowledge errors and some flaws that the dubbing does not fit well.

I like Kim Hee Sun's crying scenes the most, and because of her several crying scenes, I couldn't help but want to watch the whole film. She is so beautiful! The crying scene perfectly interprets what is called pear blossom with rain. I feel pity for it. I want to save every frame. There will be that kind of psychology that is reluctant to let her cry and surprised by the beauty of her mourning. Especially when paired with their chorus, the male voice is mournful and murmured, and the female voice is sobbing and gripping.

Hyun Ran wants to cry

speechless

Yurong is lonely and tears are dry, and a pear blossom brings rain in spring

Then there is Jackie Chan's fight scene, which is still very exciting, and the movements are smooth and smooth, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

In the end, Yu Shu confirmed that the person who wanted to take her away was not Meng Yi and refused to leave, insisting on waiting for Meng Yi, then turning around and flying back. For him, she has waited for thousands of years, but in the end, what she waited for was only a person who had his appearance and memory, not him after all. Although it is a pity, it is this persistence that has raised the overall emotion of the film to a higher level.

Myths are myths in the end, Yu Shu has been persistent for thousands of years, and finally buried in the ground together with the past.

The reviews I've heard are rather disdainful, but...I like this movie. I found that I didn't get the hang of some very old-fashioned elements, such as the oath of waiting for a thousand years. I thought it was a time-travel movie, but it turned out to be immortal medicine + weightlessness. The double-line plot with interlaced memories has a Wesleyan feel. I really like the whole thing, but the final ending is not perfect. It's inexplicable "6 months later" and then a scene of Jackie Chan on the boat... why?

Addendum to domestic war films. Youth Memories. The big structure of the plot is still the familiar Jackie Chan flavor, but the actual effect is far different. I can think of two reasons, one is that there is too much forced information mixed in, and the other is the lack of personnel and technology that have been gradually honed in the Hong Kong film era. Inspirational, more regrettable.
