      Analysis of Sword Rain Emotions

      "Jian Yu" is a film that must not be spoiled. It uses the parallel account of memories to create suspense. Due to the parallel shooting of multiple shots and the jumping and switching of memories, the audience may not really understand the director's intention at first glance, which affects the characters. intentions, resulting in a lot of confusion. In particular, you can't superficially understand the inner thoughts of the characters from the superficial lines. After all, the male and female...

      "Sword Rain": Perseverance in individual life and washing away obsessions in Buddhist culture "Di Renjie's Empire of Heaven": The Confucian feeling of "reaching the goal and helping the world" packaged in the Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection

      "Sword Rain" and "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven" are the topics that people are most concerned about and discussed in October 2010. One is John Woo's masterpiece, the other is Tsui Hark's masterpiece. On the one hand, we respect and respect the directors of the two directors. On the other hand, we are also very concerned about the outcome of this round of competition between the two directors who have forged Liangzi. As a martial arts layman, I will also discuss it here. I hope you don’t...

      The self-obscenity of a good piece of ragged clothes

      The trailer made me very excited, and after two hours, it turned out to be this thing.
          Let me briefly introduce it, [Jianyu] is a piece of ragged clothes that are patched together and claim to be gorgeous. With such a strong cast, I just couldn't see the bright spot. It's completely an actor and director, oh no, it's the actor's self-entertainment under the arrangement of the director.
          I remember that I saw someone on the Internet before I watched it. It is suitable for...

      There are some roads that you can't turn back

      The ending is just for fun, otherwise there would be no such perfection.
      The grievances are ok, the sword light can dissipate it,
      because I killed the village base and continued to eat the chicken wings I had been in love with for the past month, and then I was full of 30 yuan, and then I got a 25 yuan Hengdian deduction, and then I went to see Jianyu
      's last month's The film, basically every film does not fall, all are
      eating country base, eating chicken wings, packing,...

      Unbelievable martial arts movie

      I had a busy day yesterday, and my mood was as cool as the title. First, I went to the Toshiba special maintenance station to repair the keyboard in the afternoon, and I was hacked by the devil for 300 yuan. Then I went to the movie with Yuanyuan in the evening and was hacked by a pot of wild koto roasted pork ribs in a dark snack shop next to Xinhua before going to the movies. 38 ...Two tickets for a movie are only 30 yuan ... forcing me to not even eat popcorn when watching a movie at night!...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Regarding the renaming of the film, John Woo explained, because the name of the role played by Yeoh Choo Kheng in the film is related to "rain". And her sword-playing moves in the film are like raindrops, and this movie not only talks about fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes, but also emotional drama, so the word "Jianghu" is removed, and the title of "Reign of Assassins" is even more Appropriate. 
    The film is the first...

    Evaluation action

    One of the characteristics of "Reign of Assassins" is that the characters can stand up. Behind the brutality of the big S, there is erotic desire. Shawn Yue's see-through makes the rudder imply ordinary. Behind the power of Xueqi Wang is the weak, and can be in a short period of time. It is not easy to explain the ins and outs of each character in a movie of more than an hour. In contrast, Ah Sheng, played by Jung Woo Sung, is the most...
