    Opening the album of "The Year of the Dragon" is like entering the fan club of David Jiang and Di Long, and this familiar feeling can go all the way to the appraisal of people in the Wei and Jin...

    Zunlong is a dragon traveling around the world. At first glance, it looks like a response to "Chinatown", but in fact it is completely different. Chinatown is full of mystery and chaos, referring to a stereotype of brutality and chaos. Polanski uses black techniques to describe the helplessness of individuals who cannot resist the conventional laws. The film retains the frame bones, and even the bridge of the nose is broken exactly the same. But the focus shifted to personal confrontation, and...

    If "Chinatown" only borrows a sinful image, the directivity of this film to the Chinese is too obvious, and it is completely a product of the period of fear of communism. Zun Long may be able to meet Hollywood's need for an oriental face, but he has lost the real Chinese film market by picking up films like...

In particular: Chinatown residents have treated extortion and bribery as a cost of doing business and have been doing it for...

    In New York's Chinatown, gangsters from all walks of life are powerful, oh my, what a farce. (It turns out that this is Zunlong, handsome and graceful, although he plays an ambitious and...

    John Lone supported me through this lengthy, messy and criticized politically incorrect movie, and ended up being beaten up by Mickey Rourke. (Look at this, this is the first time that Zunlong has nominated a male supporting actor for the Golden Ball, ah, let's add another...

    The whole character of the male protagonist, including the plot trend, is moving towards death, and the final reunion seems particularly blind. It was actually well...

    The fluent exchange of English, Cantonese, and Mandarin is much better than many movies today, and it doesn't feel stiff. All points to Zunlong. After all, this film has no logic at all, and it takes a long time to make up for the...
