Hu Jinquan has a very thorough understanding of the original work. He not only shows Chinese Confucianism and Taoism with poetic images, but also emotionally and profoundly shapes the living characters, and discusses the issues of human life. Another highlight of this movie is the wonderful performance of Xu Guanjie, Zhang Min, Liu Xun, Liu Zhaoming, Ye Tong, Zhang Xueyou and others. Linghu Chong played by Xu Guanjie is even called "the most successful Linghu Chong so far" - he will make Linghu Chong heroic The air of the rivers and lakes and the air of the bohemian market are perfectly integrated. Apart from some flaws in the play, just looking at the creation of the picture and atmosphere, the film has a lot to praise. Not long after the film started, Duke Gu led his troops to surround the dyeing workshop in the south of Lin Zhen, and the overlapping of several shots with the artistic conception of Chinese painting was very impressive. The same is true for Zuo Lengchan's appearance. A group of frightening birds on the cliff shot from the top crossed the afterglow of the sunset, and a few black shadows flew down. The few shots created an excellent atmosphere. In addition, like reciting poems and dancing swords, singing and singing on the boat, etc. are the behaviors of traditional Chinese nobles.
The martial arts design of the film is freehand. It does not deify Chinese martial arts and basically conforms to the original work and the image of ancient knights. In the film, Linghu Chong's Huashan swordsmanship of "being able to be at the top of the mountain and seeing the small mountains", Zuo Lengchan's pursuit and killing on the lake, all see the intention of the martial arts design; at the end, Linghu Chong's Dugu Nine Swords is not the same as the original Shenlong. The writing is poor, but it is also unique. The eternal masterpiece "A Laugh in the Sea" created by Huang Zhan was born with the movie. The lyrics and music of this theme song run through the entire movie and played an inestimable role in the success of the movie.
Invincible in the East, which came out in 1992, has been hailed as the highest peak in the history of Chinese martial arts films. The story of "Invincible East" is actually not very good, but due to the wonderful action scenes, distinctive and unique characters and tight rhythm, as well as Brigitte Lin's performance beyond her true nature in the film, the audience has no time to take into account the rationality of the story. no.
The action scenes in the film have also created a new high for Hong Kong martial arts films. Cheng Xiaodong's strengths in combining atmosphere and action are vividly reflected in several action scenes: Ronin Night Attack on Miao District, Oriental Invincible Blood Washing Yedian, Heimu Cliff Wars, etc., many of which are amazing. For example, the method of sucking stars sucks out the blood column that sprays the sky and so on.
Invincible in the East is a role that Tsui Hark has worked very hard for. It is a character derived from Jin Yong's original work but enriched and enriched. His self-confidence and conceit, self-pity and self-pity constitute the character's unique psychological activity track, which also makes this character full of wonder.
He was born out of the failed political figure symbol in the original work, and was endowed with a deeper and more complex heart and emotion by Tsui Hark. This is also the biggest success of "Invincible East". However, due to Tsui Hark's never-ending emphasis on form over ideas, people tend to describe the shortcomings of superficiality, so that this role has not been explored in depth. This must be said to be a great pity.
