To be honest, I don't really understand this movie, but it doesn't stop me from loving him at all. It is the same as "The Grandmaster", both of them are the kind of pretending to be a certain height that makes people awe-inspiring. The music The art photography and editing all follow this style, inheriting and carrying forward the essence of old Hong Kong films, especially the starring actors are at the most brilliant stage of their lives, and they are heartbreakingly beautiful. That’s it~

Agent Sands: Bullfights. Bull hockey. Do you like this? The bull is stabbed, prodded, beaten. The bull is wounded. The bull is tired before the matador ever steps into the ring. Now, is that victory? Of course it is. Want to know the secret to winning? Creative sportsmanship. In other words...
[He leans forward and taps Cucuy, who triggers a remote control. In the ring, a taser hidden in the matador's clothes goes off, freezing him in place, and the bull tramples him]
Agent Sands: One has to rig the game.
