      The dubbing is too dramatic

      The dubbing is too dramatic, and as soon as I hear Yang Caini say: old gentleman, Balabala..., I know it's a bad movie. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................

      Drunk looking at the sword

      This intoxication is not the intoxication of intoxication, it is drunkenness; this sword is not the sword of the old slut Jianping, it is "Seven Swords". Before the wine comes up, let's splash here first. It was a film that left me speechless. I wanted to say something nice, but I felt that I couldn’t speak out against my conscience, and I wanted to say that I was disappointed. Right to have fun.
      The advantages are worthy of recognition. I think it should be regarded as a promotional film...

      Heroes Twilight - Tsui Hark "Seven Swords"



         Tsui Hark finally left Tianshan with "Seven Swords" and returned to the rivers and lakes, but as a fan who is not loyal, the mood of watching "Seven Swords" is by no means as simple as happy grievances and blood and rain in rivers and lakes. Tsui Hark's name and his films have become a synonym for martial arts films in the 1980s and 1990s. His films always have a kind of detachment and the artistic conception of a ranger and a high-ranking guest above the rivers and lakes. This...

      Seven swords magic martial arts

      I see a lot of people saying that Qijian is not good on the Internet, just like "House of Flying Daggers" said that "Kung Fu" is not good.
      To be honest, Seven Swords is another level of Tsui Hark. It has already developed from the flying and bombing of the martial arts to the real feeling. Especially the costumes and props of the actors, and the scene feels like a troubled world. Some people say that the plot of Seven Swords jumps too fast? I personally don't feel it, I think the Qing...

      Seven Swords Seven Swords

      Just blowing the air conditioner for two and a half hours at the cinema for Tsui Hark's dear Seven Swords.

           I've heard of 903's Seven Swords radio drama. How should I put it? The radio drama is death from death, injury from injury, and waking up from a dream is still a dream. As for the movie, it seems that there will be a sequel. But the radio drama clearly explained a lot of things. For example, Fenghuo Liancheng was not originally called Fenghuo Liancheng. He was Qiu Wanze who...

      The two stars are for the fight scene. . . It is hard to imagine that Tsui Hark, who made a film like Knife, actually made such a childish film. . . It was just filmed for the mentally handicapped. . . Especially the last sentence Liu Jialiang said when he went to the imperial city to ask the emperor to abolish the ban on martial arts. . . I burst out laughing. ....

    Movie plot

    In the 1640s, although the Manchu and Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Central Plains martial arts still concealed many resistance forces. The Prince of Manchu and Qing Dynasty, Duo Geduo, issued a "ban on arms" and sent the former dynasty to the Qing dynasty to fight against martial arts people who violated the order. Among them, the important target is Wuzhuang, which is located in the northwestern border. On the surface, there...

    Behind the scenes gags

    What Lu Yi did the most on the set was to practice swords and cultivate feelings with the horse he rode. Director Xu paid special attention to the relationship between the actor and the horse, but he would not tell everyone how to do it. Many questions   .
    As the martial arts instructor of "The Seven Swords", Liu Jialiang not only designed a play for the characters in the play, but also played the role of Fu Qingzhu, one of The Seven...

    Background creation

    "The Seven Swords" was released by Oriental films, with an investment of over HK$140 million. The group was established in 2002, and during the three years from 2002 to 2005, Hark Tsui no longer served as the director of feature films. In order to cope with many large-scale actions and martial arts scenes in the film, more than 500 extras, 300 horses and more than a thousand weapons were used throughout the film. During the filming,...

    Positive view

    "The Seven Swords" expresses too many concepts and has a rough sense of clutter, but this happens to fit the scene of the northwestern frontier during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The reason why the plot is a little messy is that the film has many elements such as confrontation, growth, feelings, grievances, strategy and fighting, which are more complicated than films such as "Seven Samurai" and "Lord of the Rings". Martial arts is a...

    In the opening 5 minutes, the twelve goalkeepers slaughtered the city, the scene was extremely tragic, and Hark Tsui's realistic martial arts showed off here. Then Fu Qing steals wooden signs, fights twelve goalkeepers bravely, is hunted down and flees to Wuzhuang to meet Wu Yuanying to rescue him, the whole paragraph is completed in one go, whether it is scenes, actions, or performances, it can be called Hark Tsui's level. However,...
