      Chicken Frozen

      Alas, the common people who have nothing to make a revolution, don't all want to take care of their own homes, their wives and children are on the kang head~~ If they are not forced to a dead end, who will rise up to make a revolution! When you think of the revolution, you are playing at home!

      Therefore, "official forces the people to rebel" is the eternal truth. A small group of people still do not understand such a simple truth to this day!

      What's wrong with you?

      Hong Kong film, you were not like this before. You don't call for us to die because you "don't know if this is right", you just want to do it yourself, "be a good policeman". Even if the Revolutionary Party pointed at the Boxer White Lotus Sect and said, "Look at them, the Chinese are helpless!", even if the dark government doesn't allow you to be a clean police officer, you still won't give up. You'll help the revolutionaries because they're not doing bad things, but you never never - call us...

      shock

      As soon as he started talking about democracy, he was killed by the
      media propaganda activities of revolutionaries, and he was blocked from
      Sun Yat-sen's republican call and ideal blood. From 1906 to 2009

      There are many things in the world, you have to close your eyes to see

      Ah Si was carrying Li Chongguang, disguised as Sun Yat-sen, through the streets full of crisis. With tears in his eyes, he could not understand why the young master was involved in this activity that might cost his life. The voice-over sounded: Ah Si, you once said to me that when you close your eyes every night, you see Ah Chun's smiling face, and when I close my eyes, it is China's tomorrow.

      The world where Wang Fuming closed his eyes was Shaolin. The clumsy Hercules cherishes his...

      Half-born, half-beautiful

      This story is a hundred years old.
      When the righteous people came one after another, and the chronology of birth and death, I found that they were a group of post-70s and post-80s in the 19th century.
      Before they fell, they were rich men, rich second generation, grass stage opera troupe owners, coachmen, refugees, gamblers, hawkers, wage earners, and beggars. roaming the streets, all living beings. They ushered in a new turbulent century in their life course. Then they were swept up...

      Of course, "October Siege" has regrets, but let's talk about it after the film is released on the 18th. Finally, I would like to emphasize that the overall performance exceeded expectations. The first half was shocking and amazing. I never thought that the literary drama was so good-looking, and the number of tears was too many to remember, to be honest. Chung's performance is very good. Before watching this film, I only watched Chen Desen's interviews on "Harvest" and "Watching the Movie"....

      The screenwriter is very good at grasping the timing of each character, and the plot and rhythm are just right. The old, middle-aged and young all sacrificed, which is very touching, but only the Chinese and Japanese can understand its meaning. There are still errors in logic, and there are still places where the plot can be saved. These are the common problems of Chinese films, so this film is a rare masterpiece in...

      The moment Sun Yat-sen's figure appeared, his eyes began to blur until the end of the film... "If you want the happiness of civilization, you have to go through the pain of civilization, and this pain is called revolution." Chen Desen presented his greatest work since directing the film, and "October Siege" also announced that Chinese-language films can get out of the star-studded rut, with excellent production, exquisite rhythm, and delicate emotions, which can rival "The Wind" as the best...

    Behind the scenes gags

    For the role of Michele Monique Reis , Teddy Chan has been looking for her to play for ten years, from more plays, one line to the cut a little bit weaker, to the last few scenes. Michele Monique Reis feels that when you came to me on the first day, to this day you come to me and I will act.
    For the role of Xueqi Wang, Zeng Zhiwei was chosen first.
    The crew took a total of 4 versions of Sun Yat-sen, including Tony Leung who also tried...

    Media comment

    "Bodyguards and Assassins" is a guide to the lives of real men. It recaptures the views that we have been told repeatedly but always ignored. It's a man who should go to the theater to see it. (Tencent Online Review ) 
    "Bodyguards and Assassins"'s smooth story, tortuous plot, perceptual performance, noble feelings and simple touch are things that the blockbuster criticized in the past tried but failed to do. (Reviewed by Southern...

    Celebrity Evaluation

    "Bodyguards and Assassins" is commendable for the organic combination of genre and literary quality with a sense of life. The atmosphere of the times, the sentiments of the people in the market, and the presentation of details are all close to those of Hong Kong people on Hong Kong Island in that era. (Comment by Zhao Baohua, a famous playwright and critic ) 
    Hong Kong people may not be able to understand metaphysical revolutionary...
