      Heroes in troubled times

      Huang Feihong is always heroic in Tsui Hark's films, but it is slightly out of tune with the times. In the late Qing Dynasty in the film, the Empire State Building in the entire Qing Dynasty was about to collapse, and the breath of revolution was blowing in the face, and the ordinary people caught in the middle were ignorant and ignorant of this. Huang Feihong is the same in this era. He does not understand the true meaning of revolution, but he understands that it is good and right. He does...

      Turn, remember "Huang Feihong's man should be self-improvement": the wind and the rain, the eternal sorrow

      If you have to pick one of the most outstanding movies from the Wong Feihong series, then more than 90% of people will probably choose the second "Men Be Self-improvement". After all, the first film is Wu Lu Lan Lu, the first popular work, both in style and content, it still retains traces of old-fashioned kung fu films, and the rhythm of the story is also a bit slow, which is better than emotions, not artistic conception. In the second part, it gives people the feeling of "crossing the river...

      self-improvement

      Coincidentally, while reviewing the Huang Feihong series, I read Bao Gangsheng's "General Knowledge of Political Science" and his "International Politics".

      Although nationalism is not a compliment in the political science course from Bao Gangsheng to display, but imagine in the state at that time, in addition to nationalism, what can more stimulate the blood of the Chinese nation to be self-improvement? .

      China should strive for self-improvement, and I hope we can blaze a path of...

      No concept of time - we are behind

      Tsui Hark was a leading Hong Kong film director in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was good at adding his witty and witty political annotations to eye-opening action films. The life story of Chinese folk hero Huang Feihong has brought new vitality. Li Lianjie's outstanding martial arts moves also add a lot to it. He uses the heroic image of poise and indifference as a springboard to become one of the world's stars. The story takes place in 1875, and the plot is intricate, involving...

      10 brushes feel

      A masterpiece of the pinnacle can hardly surpass Tsui Hark's lens, which depicts Jet Li's elegance, Donnie Yen's tough blind man playing and singing. How to be a self-improvement after the devastation of the magical bodyguards in troubled times How to be a self-improvement in the country Many barrages say that people at that time were really ignorant When you look at the cold jokes of your predecessors, why are you not being ignorant and ignorant, just a bunch of fools Just laughing at...

      The great hero, why should he be ashamed to stir up the situation for the country and the people? The hero of heaven and earth Huang Feihong! PS: The fight scene of the White Lotus Sect in this film is truly unprecedented. In fact, there are still many things that this film wants to criticize. Thinking about those patriotic thieves who beat, smashed and looted indiscriminately, this film really reflects the objective...

      In Guangzhou, Huang Feihong and Thirteenth Aunt met Bailian believers who used the slogan "Fuqing to destroy foreigners" to disrupt foreigners' sites such as embassies and churches, and even elementary school students studying in foreign schools were not spared.

    Hark Tsui's "Once Upon a Time", which packaged old characters in a new way, was very popular. When shooting this sequel, he further pointed out that the reason why ancient China was weak and weak was due to the ignorance of the White Lotus Sect and the corruption and incompetence of Qing court officials. Therefore, revolutionaries such as Sun Wen and Lu Haodong advocated Western civilization to save China. It is not easy for the...
