    It's very advanced, and it's very fashionable now. The use of space is really good, sharp editing, creating a sense of speed and rhythm; high degree of cinematography: the level of the environment, many cameras, zooming, follow-up shooting; the use of different color lights for contextualization, highlighting; flashback before flashing, etc. Wait; in the narrative, there are a little more clues, buried in the complicated action scenes, mixed with Wong Kar Wai-style raving monologues, a little...

    Wu Bai described his idol Kei Muto, saying that he "has a gorgeous sense of destruction." The film can be described in the same way. Remember to read it several...

    The handsome and explosive Ting Feng, and the explosive acting Wu Bai. Tsui Hark, who used guns to interpret martial arts, actually played it in 2000. From the tight story rhythm, as well as multi-angle camera positions, follow-up shooting and other action film photography techniques that now seem to be commonplace, in 2000, it can be described as An experimental avant-garde, Tsui Hark has always been the old monster Xu who will always give us adrenaline and visual...

    I watched it again, more than three times. Except for the reason that I am a complete fan of Wu Bai, this is indeed a very good-looking film. No one can make a film as beautiful, gorgeous, and elegant at the same time as Tsui Hark, but also full of tension, tension and excitement, and full of lovely details and warmth. Another: Wu Bai is really handsome. ....

    The first half was excellent, I liked the scene where the building was ambushed with each other, but it broke down a bit when I got to the Hung Hom train station. The disadvantage of many Hong Kong films is that the ending is unbearable. Wu Bai is so good, Nicholas Tse and Lu Qiaoyin are also very bright. Why doesn't Wu Bai make more...

    It is deliberately complicated and complicated. Even the policewoman who was made by Xiao Xie with a big belly has a les identity, not to mention the conflict between Huayang and the Red...

    Tsui Hark's works began to become very disappointing in about two thousand years, such as Searching for People in the Deep Sea, Ugly Girl Forest, Seven Swords, Di Renjie Series, Longmen Flying Armor, Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom, Journey to the West, New Shu Mountain, etc. Very disappointing, Weihu Mountain still has the shadow of Dragon Gate Inn, and Qijian also has a little Huang Feihong appearance, but other works have no Tsui Hark look at all, the style has become flat and generic, and...

    80/100, there is indeed an idea in the image, and it is so fast that some necessary movements are omitted to achieve the extreme speed of the narrative, which is extremely sharp. And there are many wrap-around movements on the mirror, which fully demonstrate the sense of space. The story and subject matter are indeed indifferent, but the free and easy and brilliant temperament condensed by the characters is still...

    What a cool word, it's like watching a concert of Brother Wu Bai, but there are more dance moves, and I like it to...

    Tsui Hark still has the feeling of martial arts in the modern police and bandit stories. With the blessing of modern special effects, the editing and movement of the camera are more vigorous and jumpy, showing a drug-like modern martial arts action. Hong Kong martial arts movies in the new millennium are declining day by day, but gangster action movies have emerged during this period, and many excellent works have emerged, gradually breaking away from the shoddy production and genre clustering...

Time and Tide quotes

  • Tyler: [First Lines] It is said in the beginning there was nothing. Everything was pitch black. The one in charge said that wouldn't do. Then there was light. Light is good. It lets you see the world around you. The next day, sky appeared. That same sky has rainbows. And lightning, too. Very interesting. On the third day, there was water. Water brought plants... and animals. Then began the game of survival of the fittest. On the sixth day, He created man. Most imperfect. After that, woman. He thought such a big world could accommodate one more. But this was not the case. It turned out this combination was uncontrollable indeed. On the seventh day, He'd planned to rest. But he had to start all over again. He's not the only one to start all over. The whole world has to do it with him too.

  • Tyler: If I had a real gun I'd come out and shoot you!
