Looking at it again, I can see that the taste is coming. I thought the pace was too slow before. Hu Jinquan went up to Li Hanxiang and went down to Tsui Hark. Now he is being praised for being supernatural, but it is not necessary. What people really underestimated at that time was Li Hanxiang, a master of the generation, who opened a lot of films, and was a brilliant talent, but he paid too much attention to the market and invested in The common people are too good, and now they look greasy. Hu Jinquan has literary popularity, artistic conception, and naturally appeals to the taste of Wenqing film critics. His last work "The King of Yin and Yang", which was released in China, played by screenwriter Acheng and starred by Wang Zuxian, was a temporary choice, but it was terrible, which shows that he was abandoned by the times. The public's taste is suitable for fast food such as Tsui Hark, and naturally can't stand Hu Jinquan's slow-moving meal. Tsui Hark is talented, unrestrained, unrestrained, unrestrained, and it can also be said to be crazy, to bring Hu Jinquan's ethereal spirit to the extreme, the camera is concise and sharp, and the eyes are dizzying. To break up. But I am very curious about the martial arts films of Hu's disciple Xu Anhua. Her "Secretary's Enmity and Enmity" has never been seen, and I miss it very much. The Battle of the Bamboo Forest is the most talked about in the movie, but it doesn't seem to be outdated now. The bamboo poles are slender, the bamboo branches and leaves are light, the human shape is sudden, the design is very strong, and the sincerity is eye-catching. Wait, what's wrong with the bamboo forest? !

    It is similar to the mysterious atmosphere of the ghost of a Chinese girl. The characters appear only five or six minutes after the scene is edited in the empty mirror. The expression of the scene is far more than the dialogue. The girl is usually in white shorts, and the change is the same as Xiaoqian. His black long dress, the same sitting and playing the piano, the same lotus in the pond. As a costume action movie, the first fight does not appear until 60 minutes later. Many groups of characters try each other out, confucianism, soldiers, doctors, divination, monks, and chivalrous women. The martial arts movements are more realistic, with powerful movements and solid steps. The sound effects enhance the chopping sound of swords, the crispness of weapon collisions, and the harshness of friction. The climax of the bamboo forest and the night battle are all classics. The end here is enough to confine the gods. Taking it out alone in the last forty minutes is also a good show. From martial arts to the realm of Buddhism metaphysics, but even after the night battle, the protagonist deviates from the good and evil protagonists, and still feels that the sense of continuity of the whole film is slightly broken.

    The three-hour movie is divided into two parts. Hu Jinquan is always a big piece higher than the contemporary Chinese martial arts. No matter the plot, the mirror, the action, the deep meaning, and even the dialogue are extremely elegant. In terms of life style, only Li Hanxiang can match it. No wonder the two can be good friends.
