Not as wonderful as imagined

This is an old movie from 2006. At that time, I should be still in elementary school. When I heard "Huo Yuanjia" at the end of the film, I felt a sense of familiarity. I remember that I especially liked this song and deliberately I copied the lyrics, but after careful recollection, I am still convinced that I did not watch this movie back then.

So I reviewed it again today, and I won't explain too much about the story of the plot. Everyone should know more or less about Huo Yuanjia's story after reading the introduction or not, so today we will talk about other things.

There are a few things that make me complain about this movie:

First, there are several places in this film or the scene jumping makes me feel very uncomfortable, even if the coherence is not very good, it is either the kind that makes people suspicious when watching it, or it feels very uncomfortable.

The second is that several scenes feel too fake, like they were cut out by a computer. This special effect really makes me unsatisfied, but when I think of it as a movie from a few years ago, there is nothing to say. .

Third, I feel that the empress did not act well, and I also have a very blunt feeling about the plot of the empress.

The protagonist of Si Ming is Huo Yuanjia, but Nong Jinsun left a deeper impression on me. I really admire the style of knowing what is right and wrong and having an enlarged mind. What do you want!

Of course, this film is not useless. Fighting is the biggest highlight of this film. Jet Li's martial arts action scenes and Yuan Heping's martial arts are really wonderful visual feasts, which always make people inadvertently wonder if this is Chinese martial arts?

That's all! Overall, I still don't like this movie very much, but the fighting part is really good.

I know that the focus of this film is not on martial arts, but on the life journey of a generation of masters, the change in their attitude towards people and things, from seeing a mountain as a mountain, to seeing that a mountain is not a mountain, and finally to a change of seeing a mountain as a mountain , Huo Yuanjia's life started from fighting in the ring, and the end also ended in the ring, but this ring is completely different from the mentality and meaning of the ring. High level! There is still a long time in my life, I hope I can find my own way in the limited time!

    The whole story gives people the feeling of being overly craftsmanship, like a standard three-part composition written by a student according to the topic given by the teacher. The preaching is full of meaning, and the theme and content presented are very deliberate. Family complaints (many screenwriters). The same era background, character legend, and martial arts spirit, compared with the "Jing Wu Hero" starring Jet Li more than 20 years ago, the judgment was immediately reached.

    I watched the uncensored version, which actually added Muay Thai, Nima, to challenge the world with boxing, don't be so urgent.

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.
