There are a few details that are very evident in the script's work. Ye Wen said to Jin Shanzhao (Fan Shaohuang) twice that "it's your own problem", which at first glance seems to be a common cool summary. After watching the movie, think about it, this is not a cliché. Jin arrogantly selected all the martial arts gyms and then asked Ye Wen to compete in martial arts. He was just trying to find a job in Foshan. He was also a pitiful person; but defeating others was not the only means. Firecrackers danced the lion. In the eyes of other martial artists who were not friendly, they opened a martial arts hall in the end. Going to try their luck to challenge Ip Man was not aggressive, and if he lost, he would not be unable to end. Therefore, it is still possible for the northern martial artist Jinshan to establish a foothold in Foshan. Similarly, when the people are struggling, he does not need to be a robber.
That Li Zhao, who looks a bit like a traitor, was also portrayed very plumply. When he shouted that I am a Chinese and I am not a running dog, many people did not believe it at that time. When he returned to his home and greeted the old and young, women, children, brothers and sisters, he realized that he really had difficulties and needed to live humbly. It also reminded him that when he worshipped Ye Wen as his teacher, it was indeed out of sincere admiration, and his help to the Ye family in the bloody situation was still out of a conscience that never faded away.
There is also a pocket watch that Ye Wen used to wipe out in the Taiping years. It must have a special meaning. It is also the last valuable item to be used in times of poverty. After that, the mountains and rivers are exhausted. to more desolate worlds. ——Details are quality, such detailed and logical action films have never been many, so we must applaud them for this.
If I can expose some of my naivety, Donnie Yen here is cooler and more temperamental than before. He can fight without being too violent or cold; the ending is also very good. Sacrifice is a lucky ending, and it is better to be a New Year's Eve. Plus I'm a narrow-minded nationalist, and it's always nice to beat the Japanese.
In short, this kind of movie is enjoyable to watch, has a little aftertaste after watching it, and saves the life of the male lead. The more the better.
PS1: Mrs. Ye's eyes are relatively unsatisfactory, and she always looks unnatural and thoughtful, which is strange. (However, some suspect that Xiong Dailin's eyes are highly short-sighted, and the eyeballs are relatively convex, like the result of wearing glasses for a long time.)
PS2: Fan Shaohuang has a mighty image here. When I first saw him play Xu Zhu, I secretly praised the director, how could I find such an ugly little monk!
