Our rivers and lakes are drifting away

In fact, I have always known that whether a film looks good or not is entirely up to the audience, and this feeling is difficult to represent with very objective comments. My own feeling is that Huo Yuanjia is pretty good-looking. My expectation for Jet Li is to have a wonderful fist and kick, regardless of the wind and moon, whether he really has feelings or not, it doesn't matter. In this film, the martial arts design is still very beautiful and dazzling, and it doesn't seem to use too many stunts. It is solid and not so fancy, which is good. Although he didn't perform Huo Yuanjia's best "Misong Fist", he can't be too hard on Jet Li. I'm afraid he will be a little powerless when he gets older. As for the preaching part, it all depends on everyone's acceptance. After all, the director and actors are trying to convey what they have realized. Whether it suits the audience's appetite or not is a matter of opinion. We watch the film also to comprehend that individuals have their own ideas and cannot be forced. The only regret is that there is no Chen Zhen, no matter what, this character should not be omitted.

But others say: He and Wugong are slowly getting old together, which is really sad. Jet Li is getting old, Jackie Chan is getting old, and even though Donnie Yen is still posing for the Dragon Tiger Gate with Xiao Xie, the wrinkles can't be deceived. These martial arts masters who have grown up with us are slowly getting old. Are our rivers and lakes still there? Jin Yong's books have been made into various films by generations, loyal to the original, with gods and intangibles, and intangibles and gods, for decades, after that? What else can we see? Where is the martial arts going? The beautiful and unbeatable Oriental Invincibility is already at the age of knowing the destiny, our rivers and lakes will not just become a dream, right?

    This film is Jet Li's last kung fu film, and it was directed by Yu Rentai, a Chinese director who developed in Hollywood. Yu Rentai used the professional production standards and mainstream narrative methods learned from Hollywood to tell a self-complete story. On the contrary, Hong Kong-made action films always presented the dilemma of separation of technology and content in the past. In particular, Yuan Heping was used to design action scenes. There are no pompous or pointless fights, everything serves the narrative. Huo Yuanjia, played by Jet Li, has grown from an arrogant swing boy to a national hero who knows the roots. Clever correspondence and overlap, Jet Li's performance is more eclectic and generous. But in this age of faulty action actors, Jet Li's summary of the hero image on the screen this time has some sad sighs.
