Lao Mouzi is a man who refuses to admit defeat. Winning international awards does not satisfy him. Seeing that Feng Xiaogang earns a lot of money in the New Year's Eve, Lao Mouzi is also a little depressed. Although he is not short of money, compared to It seems that he has only won some dry awards, and it is always bright and snowy, which makes people feel like a minority, although the good films he shoots are still portrayed by the hearts of small people.

So Laomouzi made up his mind to fight for his breath, and thus there was "Hero", which became an instant hit. After creating a new landscape where scolding films can also make money, Laomouzi gained confidence and gathered together Jincheng Wu, Andy Lau, Zhang Ziyi Waiting for the big name, I made this "House of Flying Daggers".

I don't know what other people think of this film, nor do I comment on Laomouzi's beautiful scenery, small designs, and small plots.

In my opinion, this film is completely a modern emotional drama with an ancient costume theme.
Takeshi Kaneshiro and Andy Lau are both handsome, tall, strong, strong in martial arts, chivalrous young talents, serving as civil servants in the yamen, what is even more rare is that both men are single, what is especially rare is that they are very dedicated to their feelings , unswervingly to death, willing to die for the beloved. Facing such two men who love you, if you were that woman, how happy would you be, but how distressed would you be?
This is probably Zhang Ziyi's happiness and pain.

The whole film just tells the story of a love triangle under such a fashionable coat. It uses an ancient costume shell, and the tone of the film is set in this way.

At the end of the film, Zhang Ziyi loves two men. Lao Mouzi ended the relationship in the film and let Zhang Ziyi succumb to his death. In real life, who knows?
If there is no market, if it is not for real life, Laomouzi would not make this into a movie. The market is always the guide.
Real life is often more exciting than film and television dramas.
Anything is possible.
