    There are indeed praiseworthy places, exquisite and gorgeous action scenes, Jet Li and Rosamund Kwan who are at their peak, classic theme songs, and professional and excellent martial arts instructors. But except for the action scenes, other times it seems to be fast forwarding, without the core support of the plot, what is the difference between Chinese kung fu and juggling. But it should have been a pretty good commercial action film back then. However, Tsui Hark's three views are indeed very...

    Like Rosamund Kwan, kissing with shadow and Wong Fei-hung is very creative....

    I liked this poster so much that I watched it again. The poster is turbulent, and one person stands alone, highlighting the fate of the individual and the era. I watched it many times when I was a child, and I still feel emotional when I watch it now, especially the sound of "Men Be Self-improvement", which is majestic and inspiring. Tsui Hark's martial arts moves are always creative, and several fight scenes are classics. Jet Li's Huang Feihong is elegant and energetic, a symbol of the...

    National enemies and families are not as silent and rigid as the heroes and imperial court, down to Limin and pawns, as shown in "The Grand Master". People in turmoil are always in a state of change, contradiction and anxiety. Traditions and trends in China, oceans and morality can never be considered a trade-off. People can only play games and move between the two extremes. Some people become martyrs, and some people become traitors. Jianghu...

    Born in troubled times, Huang Feihong was destined to struggle in humiliation and resistance. Both countries and individuals are the same. Only when he is strong can he protect more people. The young Jet Li can be said to be heroic, upright and awe-inspiring, and he is very skilled in playing the role of a...

    6.7/10. ① Various stories among Huang Feihong (and his supporters), officials (admiral), robbers (Shahe Gang), ordinary people (gold diggers, etc.), foreign officials and foreigners. As a traditional melodrama, the content of each story ends in a hurry without being fully developed, which is a bit boring. For the film's many interesting socio-political commentary, the story is barely par for standard clichés. ②The film creates a texture of ink and wash to render the "ancient feeling" (just like...

    Family and country feelings, national justice, introspection spirit, martial arts classics. In the age of passion, the motherland should be self-reliant, and men should be self-improvement. Thirteen Aunts is really a bright color in the Wong Fei Hung...

    "If there really is Jinshan, why do foreigners' boats stop at our port?" It was rare for Hong Kong to make such patriotic action films in the previous era. When I was a child, I only thought martial arts movements were good-looking, and I didn't think about it. . In the past, Hong Kong filmmakers still had some family and country feelings, because they always had a sense of family and country in their hearts. If you make a movie, you should take it seriously and try your best to make a good...
