In terms of art, the small scenes are rich and substantial, but the large scenes are not wide enough, which makes people feel very suffocated. The color is full and comfortable.
In terms of photography, light and shadow break the stage sense brought by the limitations of art. Saved the film's many ills. The use of rain and wind is soothing.
There are too many places where the plot is illogical.
In terms of casting, the male protagonist has a wretched face and disgusting...

The story of "Chivalrous Girl" comes from "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai". The original work is only a few thousand words, and it was expanded by Hu Jinquan into a masterpiece of nearly three hours. The adaptation of the script should be said to be very successful: Hu Jinquan likes to read the "History of the Ming Dynasty", so he put the background of the story of "Chivalrous Girl" into the Ming Dynasty that he is familiar with; after arranging the chivalrous woman as a loyal minister...

Houses, bamboo forests, and incomprehensible monsters
In Hu Jinquan's films, traditional Chinese literature and art are indispensable, from the palace city to the house, from the landscape to the gods.
The strong culture is interesting, which is an important aspect that attracts me.
The first half is Yang Huizhen after Zhongliang, who was chased and killed by the officials, and the group destroyed the enemy.
The scholar said that Zibuyue was strange and confused, and as a result, he did it... The two factions... -

"Chivalrous Girl" is short in love, tenderness and righteousness
No matter how good the film's artistic and technical effects are, I still think that the rhythm of Master Hu's film is a bit slow. The opening shot is very immersive and very long. There are three main scenes in the whole film, "Abandoned Tun Fort", "Rocky Land", and "Bamboo Forest". "Abandoned Tun Fort" is really a bit of Pu Songling's taste. If "Mountain and Rock" captures the majesty of Chinese martial arts, then "Bamboo Forest" captures the indomitable spirit of Chinese...

The day before yesterday, I watched "The Heroine".
Yesterday was Nanook of the North.
I thought it was a boring movie, not suitable for people in a room to watch together,
but it unexpectedly attracted everyone.
"The Heroine" is in color, I thought it was black and white.
Strangers in the small town, the story begins. Full of fascinating.
The technology seems to be pretty rough now, and the story is not old.
But what I feel most deeply is the...

[Wuxia Film Festival 4K Restoration Edition] There are so many surprises that some roughness and problems in the design of the mirror movement and the rhythm of the story are less conspicuous. Surprisingly, there are a lot of interesting psychological analysis parts. The filming of Bamboo Forest is really amazing, and the negative effect at the end is very good. Hu Jinquan will still play like this. Compared with the chivalrous girl with the Chinese title, the English title A Touch of Zen is...

Ku Shen Chai: Have you seen Miss Yang, the lady who lives here?
General Shih Wen-chiao: No, I'm blind.
Ku Shen Chai: Forgive me.
General Shih Wen-chiao: Miss Yang and her mother are gone.
Ku Shen Chai: She said you should run for your life too. Do you know where she went?
General Shih Wen-chiao: No.
Ku Shen Chai: I have to find her!
[Shih pulls out a sword as two soldiers fly down from the sky and attack, but are quickly killed in a few brief strokes of the sword]
Ku Shen Chai: Mr. Shih, Mr. Shih, who are you really?
General Shih Wen-chiao: I'm not blind, that's for sure.
