The first half of the movie tells about the first half of Huo Yuanjia's life: he is brave and fierce, and he is feisty--I don't understand what it means to be restrained. Although since ancient times, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, but just because of the false reputation of No. 1 in Jinmen, he has made many enemies, and his arrogance and arrogance make him unable to distinguish the loyal and traitor around him: when his apprentice is beaten, he does not know the reason and uses this name. They came to seek revenge, but in fact they used the topic to distinguish themselves from each other - in the end, the loving mother and daughter were slaughtered and became victims of hatred.
In the second half, Huo Yuanjia finally returned to the right path and gained a new life after comprehending the spirit of martial arts. At this time, he really understood that the true meaning of martial arts is not to defeat others but to defeat himself. After returning to his hometown, looking at the wall of life and death, he finally understood the good intentions of his parents. Although he was poisoned and died in the ring, he has aroused the belief in the unremitting self-improvement of thousands of Chinese people with his own spirit of martial arts.
In contrast, his close friend Nong Jingsun actually showed his true wisdom very early. Different from Huo Yuanjia's use of martial arts into philosophy, many of the things he insists on have deep meanings behind them. As a friend, he showed his sincerity, and as a citizen, he cared about the country and the people—if everyone was like this, why should we be afraid of the Japanese invaders!
In fact, it is very good to depict Yasuno Tanaka as a martial artist with martial arts, because while respecting the opponent, he is also respecting himself. Unique style; other than these, although I have heard the ending song of the same name card sung by Jay Chou a long time ago, but after watching the whole film, I will definitely have a different feeling; It is a pity to pay tribute to Huo Yuanjia's former residence.
All in all, this classic, known as Li Lianjie's work, really condenses his experience and hard work in martial arts and martial arts films for many years; and the values output in it are even more easy to understand, and there are not many movies that can do this.
PS Poisoning the part where the tea was changed in front of everyone and no one cared was outrageous.
In addition, the didactic traces in the bad reviews of the film do exist, but they are not excessive, and the dogmatism is exaggerated.
