Drinking poisonous wine with a smile - about the movie "The Undefeated East"

Zhang Xiaoxian said: "Love is always drinking poisonous wine with a smile."
Love is a pot of poisonous wine. But once you are really infatuated with its aroma, you can't leave it for a moment. Speaking of wine, it reminds me of the second part of the Hong Kong film "Swordsman".
Both Linghu Chong and Dongfang Invincible in the movie are people who understand alcohol, especially Linghu Chong, who is almost an alcoholic. One day Linghu Chong stumbled into the water where Dongfang Invincible was practicing, but he regarded Dongfang Invincible as a woman playing in the water, and asked "her" for wine (Dongfang Invincible had destroyed Linghuchong's wine before), so the two sides competed for each other's wine drink. It doesn't matter, Linghu Chong can find a confidant in a wine cup, coupled with the strange charm of Dongfang Invincible's neutrality, this bastard who wanted to retire from the arena is swaying. And Dongfang Invincible, who was no longer a man for practicing evil, was also moved by Linghuchong's unrestrainedness, and actually followed Linghuchong's misunderstanding and admitted that he was a woman.
Dongfang Invincible, a big character who makes the listeners in the martial arts terrified, is also confused because of the love of his sons and daughters. In fact, "she" had long known that this love would not be fruitful, but she still maintained it wishful thinking, and even did not hesitate to replace herself with the woman she loved most in the past to have a one-night stand with Linghu Chong in the dark, the purpose was to "let him remember stay with me". Such infatuation is admirable.
A scene in the film that left a deep impression on me was "Linghu rushed into the Oriental House at night". The dim candlelight, loose hair, amazed eyes, Ruojie robes, embroidery needles in hand, and a large-scale embroidery drawing that is about to be completed beside him, accurately showing a man who turns into a woman, from ruthless to passionate. people. Lin Qingxia's Dongfang Invincible is so decent, so attractive, and has a unique and neutral beauty everywhere. Thinking about it, ten Linghu Chongs should all be fascinated by such a woman. I like this movie because of this: to portray a man of great evil in such a passionate and tragic way in delicate film language, it completely subverts the traditional Eastern Invincibility that neither men nor women are abhorrent. When I read the book "Swordsman" for the first time, I already thought that Dongfang Invincible must be a person with a story, but I didn't expect that Director Cheng Xiaodong could interpret the hidden story so thrilling.
Poisonous wine, knowing that it is poisonous wine, but still drinking it tastefully. At the end of the film, Linghu Chong and Ren Wexing join forces to destroy Dongfang Invincible. The moment their eyes met, they were both drunk, and then they stayed awake. What a ridiculous scene. Although Dongfang Invincible knew that this would last for a long time, he did not expect to be exposed so embarrassingly so quickly. On the other hand, Linghu Chong almost ignored his mission and kept asking whether Dongfang Invincible was the woman who married him that night. He was expecting an affirmative but impossible answer. From Linghu Chong's "don't care", it can be seen that Dongfang Invincible is still winning a small bet, and the poisonous wine is not drinking alone. That's enough. That's why Dongfang Invincible was able to slap Linghu Chong back so freely and didn't let him fall off the cliff with her.
I just want you to remember me. lifetime.

    A classic in the movie version! Brigitte Lin's undefeated East is indistinguishable from males and females, and it is truly heroic. Jet Li is slowly moving closer to Hong Kong-style films. It is said that the actresses in those days were really beautiful in their original ecology, and Tsui Hark's film mode was perfected in the exploration!

    Linghu Chong is a color embryo, and when he sees a girl, he will let the girl go with him. In the end, I have been brooding about whether I have slept with the shemale Dongfang Invincible, but unfortunately they won't tell you! In addition, the Chinese people are simply a bunch of pure foodies!
