Ghosts of 1977

After the film ended, what stuck in my mind was the scene where the heroine showed her dew point. That scene came out just right, like drinking an iced Coke after a football game, like descending from a high-speed roller coaster to soft grass, reminding me of Miike's handling of Visitor Q at the end.
That scene was really beautiful, and so was the heroine. But one of the downsides of watching old movies is that you can't like the actors in them because they're either old wives or dead now.
This is a movie from 1977. All the scenes of Kung Fu girls fighting in the film are all handled by ghosts and animals. It can be said that it is the earliest ghosts and animals I have seen. Decades ahead of what is now popular.
No matter from the setting or the plot, the film has the characteristics of that era, that is, it is simple and direct, almost to the point of being rudimentary. Even so, the rendering of the atmosphere is very good. It is not youthful or weird. OK, they all performed well. At this point, I think it's stronger than a lot of movies out there.
Another great thing about this film is the music. The music runs through the film from start to finish, and with the exaggerated expressiveness of the film, sometimes it gives people the feeling of enjoying a stage play.
After a series of thrilling climaxes, the film resumes its bright and bright style at the end. A beautiful tune and a beautiful MV drew a perfect ending to the film.

-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
The fly in the ointment is that this film commits a lot of genre Movies make mistakes, ignoring some of the most basic logic in order to advance the plot. For example, someone has already disappeared, and someone has been seen as a ghost, but no one has paid attention to it. This seems unnatural and has a certain impact on expressiveness.
