The first time I watched it was in 2006, which was known as Jet Li's last martial arts film. As soon as the CD came out in the video hall, I rented it immediately! That year, the now deceased grandfather pointed to the screen and said that this was Huo Yuanjia! ? I say yes! At that time, I just remembered that the movie was very cool, and it was fun to play! Later, I went to Tianjin to study at university, the hometown of Tianjin, and although Huo Yuanjia's former residence is so close at hand ", brought back memories, and searched again? It turns out that this film also has a director's cut! More than 30 minutes more than what I watched in the past, I only know today after 13 years? I did not hesitate to watch it. After watching it, my mood is complicated? It is different from the simple movie watching in my childhood. In my heart, this movie It is the curtain call of Jet Li's martial arts and kung fu movies. I still like the martial arts drama very much. The two impressive scenes are the battle between Huo Yuanjia and Qin Ye, the shadow of the sword and the knife, and the final battle against the masters of the four countries, fighting. , spear, swordsmanship, especially the last three-section stick vs. single-knife, handsome and confused! The film's intentions are very high, from Huo Yuanjia's desire to become the number one in Tianjin, to the murder of his mother and child at home, and finally to understand the true meaning of martial arts, echoing what Michelle Yeoh said at the beginning of the film, martial arts is to stop fighting, and it is a kind of sport. , It's not a revenge killing, a feisty, sublime theme! Finally, I sighed how time flies, from junior high school to work, 13 years have passed, Jet Li is also old, the movie is also an old movie, I believe many people still remember the lines repeated three times in the movie, the old beggar: Huo Yuan First! ? When were you the number one in Tianjin☝️? Just today! Just today!

    I watched it three times before seeing the whole story... Wushu should never be just action. Cultivating the heart is more important than self-cultivation. The spirit of martial arts can break free from pure killing, sublimate, and broaden the hearts of adults through the competition of skills. Is it really possible? If bloodthirsty is the choice of natural evolution, then if we choose to give up, will the vitality disappear with it?

    What you have to do is not to take revenge, hatred will only give birth to more hatred, I don't want to see hatred, the most important thing is to strengthen yourself. It took me many years to understand what martial arts is and what I can do with it. The game isn't over yet. One cannot choose the beginning of life, but one must have the courage to take the last step. Living is never a person's business. "
