Western fantasy martial arts

I always thought I couldn't understand the first part of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but this time I just realized after watching the second part, which is full of English dialogue: this is the Oriental martial arts filmed for the sake of Western audiences' understanding. The plot goes straight to the theme, without the slightest oriental delicacy and bewilderment. All characters have the rough-line characteristics of Western fantasy films: outgoing and direct, distinct likes and dislikes, overly straightforward dialogue, and black-and-white character camps. Coupled with the witch characters like prophets in Western fantasy, the whole is an old oriental martial arts wine in Western culture.

The highlight is the design of martial arts special effects, there is no abuse of special effects like modern Chinese martial arts, relying on real real kung fu, coupled with the light power design similar to traditional Shaw Brothers movies, Qingming Baojian perfectly interprets the combination of tradition and modernity. martial arts special effects.
