Director's cut, too much

Looking at the director's cut version of this film after a lapse of six years, it feels so different. The theater version took the lead and opened with a fight with the Three Kingdoms Warriors. Grasp your eyes tightly and bury the long line. The director's editing wanted to go ahead and suppress, flat and straightforward, and inexplicably added Olympic paragraphs, it is true. .

Well, the director's cut version gives creators the opportunity to express themselves completely. One person wants to say too much, maybe it really means too much. I understand very well the editing appeal of the theatrical version, which is the structure and rhythm of a commercial film from beginning to end. The director’s cut version just listened to me and listened to me, and it turned out to be nagging, regardless of rhythm and structure. Be patient, and out of respect, you will see what happened. When you encounter the Supreme Treasure, you will punch it and tell you not to talk about it. you!

In this film, Jet Li's martial arts and performances were successful. He not only demonstrated martial arts superbly, but also instilled his understanding of martial arts over the years.

There are several teachers in this film, Huo Yuanjia's mother, old woman, Yueci girl, Nong Jinsun, and Huo Yuanjia himself. These roles are more or less expounding the truth. If it makes sense, it's like cooking salt in life. Just a little bit will make it alive. In a movie, a line or two of the finishing touch can often elevate an excellent movie to the ranks of a classic movie. Just like you can’t put salt in a handful when cooking, drawing a dragon can only point two eyes at most. The philosophy in the movie is called the human body taste, not directly expressed and fed to the mouth. This film has been guilty of this problem again and again, why? After watching the director's cut version, I can't understand it anymore. The director really hopes that everyone understands these truths, and I'm afraid that everyone doesn't understand, so I say it over and over again. It was cut off, and it was put on a DVD as a director's cut version for everyone to see.

The experience of life is exchanged for the price of constant frustration, and it is hard-won. The creators can't bear to leave even the slightest insight, hoping to pass on more to the audience. As everyone knows, there is a true meaning in this, if you want to discern you have forgotten your words; if you have a sense of sorrow, you will have more taste in the state of having to talk and rest.

From the road to the simple, there is no fragrance of water. Return to the nature, tranquility and far-reaching.

The cross-flow of the sea is a hero, and Huo Yuanjia, a master of the generation, is destined to shed blood in this life. If this is the case, why bother to be coy and pretending to be deep. Among them, Kuangwei has commented from others.

    141min guide cut version. Even as a real biopic of Fearless, it is completely qualified. The standard three-act script structure. Those who don't know how to write a script can take this script to study the basics. The literary drama is sincere and moving. Two and a half hours of detailed character depiction made the feelings and story lines of several protagonists sufficiently full, and also made the resonance of the climax play naturally and strong. The sense of nationality is indeed too easy to mobilize. The mood of the audience who watched this movie may have been It's the same mood as when we watched "The Wandering Earth" today.

    Because of the dramatic tension of the pursuit of commercial films, apart from the three characters of Huo Yuanjia, the real characters, the plot is basically a way to show you what catches your eye, so it has provoked a lawsuit by the descendants of the Huo family. Cons also. On the one hand, the director wanted visual effects most, and asked a group of first-line martial arts action stars to fight for real, but the corresponding safety protection was not in place. Jet Li fell directly from the high platform and injured his spine. This may be the main reason why he said he will stop performing martial arts films in the future. In the extended version, there is a more tragic confrontation that cannot be seen in the public version, which is really called "the secret that cannot be broadcast". It's shameful for a director to sacrifice actors to make a movie. It's sad that we can't see the sassy Jackie again. Sun Li is more incompatible, and Dong Yong is quite satisfactory. Among them, the martial arts pictures are not beautiful, and there are suspicions of pursuing brutality and brutality, which is far from the mainstream martial arts aesthetics.

Fearless quotes

  • Huo Yuan Jia: Poison works very quickly. It has worked its way to my heart... Zhensheng, promise me you won't seek revenge. Revenge will only bring us more bloodshed. Please, that's not what I want. We must strive to become triumphant... Nong Jinsun, I only understand wushu. I practiced for many years to understand what Wushu is, what is wushu's real purpose. The competition must continue. One cannot choose how one's life begins. It takes courage to finish the final step.

  • Anno Tanaka: Since there's no superiority or inferiority in Wushu, why still have competition?

    Huo Yuan Jia: I believe that there's no superiority or inferiority in Wushu. Just the distinction of practitioners with different levels of ability. Through the competition we can discover this and meet the true self. Because indeed the antagonist is namely ourself. Only through competition, can one recognise one's true self.
