sunset song as a political metaphor

The Song of the Sunset as a Political Metaphor As a Vietnamese, he is more concerned about Chinese politics than the Chinese. From the "Huang Feihong" period of referring to sang and scolding Huai, to "Chess King" when it refers to another, until "The True Color of Heroes 3" (may be the opposite in terms of chronological order); 4 Underground Passage" is a Tsui Hark movie, and it is not easy to be suspicious - of course, the premise is that the quality of the picture is more careful, and the starring is probably changed from Xu Jinjiang to Zhao Wenzhuo and the like. Going back to "The True Color of Heroes 3", the most moving passages in the entire film undoubtedly fall on the role of Anita Mui. She is straightforward, forbearance, decisive, heroic and domineering. In front of her, Chow Yun-fat is only naughty and willful, while Liang Jiahui becomes cowardly and helpless. Tsui Hark's imagination about the square incident was repeated in Vietnam. The shooting range hit coconuts, but inadvertently made "Song of the Sunset" a classic. It's hard to imagine what Tsui Hark will do with this kind of film twenty years from now. After all, he has begun to show goodwill to Wu Zetian, the mother of the world, in "Di Renjie". 2012.2.14 Recorded in Wudaokou Night.

After reading this comment six years later, I really feel a little emotional.

There was another parade in Vietnam a few days ago, but this time the theme was "anti-China". Recently, I have also traveled to many places in Southeast Asia. It seems that the Chinese are replacing the Japanese in the 1990s and the French in the past. Yes, we have become the group that is admired and opposed by the locals.

As for Tsui Hark?

It seems to be recruited, or more realistic. It's still a metaphor, but the big idea has changed. In the "Di Renjie" series, no matter how many conspiracies there are, the queen is always right. No matter how much dark history Di Renjie finds, they will eventually share their worries for the master and the master.

Times have changed, people will change, but many things, because there are records, may lie there forever - just like this movie, lying on a pile of old papers, but still dazzling, emitting some light, and still able to Illuminate a few dark corners.

    What kind of heroic character is this, it is clearly the love of children, but it is very tempting. Three and a half.

    It can be called a heroic prequel or a prequel of Pony Ma, but the first protagonist of the story is replaced by Anita Mui played Zhou Yingjie. The director is Tsui Hark. The background of the era is set in Vietnam before the fall of the 70s, so the tone is a bit heavy. Like "Across the World", the story of two males (or three males, the villain and Zhou are also close friends) and one female is a heroic film that boldly reverses gender roles. Name), posters (Anita Mui occupies a larger and more important position than Chow Yun-fat), and the plot (with Anita Mui as the main line), all are dominated by women. From the first two films, it can be concluded that Zhou Yingjie in this prequel is a tragic ending. From the plot, we can see that Brother Ma's marksmanship was taught by Zhou Yingjie. This song "Song of the Sunset" has the same melody as "A Thousand Thousand Jue Song", which is sad but not hurtful and just right.
