The maturity of modern Chinese action movies?

In the Lunar New Year stalls, there are "The Mermaid" with Star Lord's signature, "The Legend of Bo Ren" with fans, and the Hollywood blockbuster "Kung Fu Panda 3". Movies with the atmosphere of a decent, traditional martial arts movie are really hard to arouse my interest, but suddenly one day, my father who has not been to the theater for more than 20 years suddenly said to me with great interest, "Let's go to see that" Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!", I have no reason to refuse...

Since I entered junior high school, I have rarely watched martial arts movies. To be honest, I was a bit surprised by this movie viewing. The impact of the advancement of photography technology on martial arts films can be said to be completely reborn. The switching of shots, the use of slow motion and close-ups are very smooth, making the fighting scenes in this film very refreshing and imposing, especially the duel on the ice lake, the martial steps sliding on the ice, the ice cubes flying on the face, I am still moved, this feeling is far from being comparable to the action films represented by Jackie Chan, and even better than some Hollywood BOOM, BOOM, BOOM-style action films. This may be the mature form of modern Chinese martial arts films and even action films.

But the good words are over. Technology can make the "skin" look new, but it cannot change the "bone" inside.
The storyline model that has been used for decades, and the theory of benevolence and justice in the bones of this story, have not changed at all.
The leader who maintained the peace of the rivers and lakes died, the knight should give up his life to help the sect left by the leader without asking for anything in return. Those who dare to ask for money must be downright villains + weak chickens.
When these weak chickens are looking for Donnie Yen's fault, the four The unfamiliar heroines agreed to get up and help and join the team (however, in the whole film, Donnie Yen is the only four people...) The
thief robs the dart to rob the rich and help the poor, and the dart head is the guard of the wicked It was for the sake of giving food to the brothers and sisters in trouble, and then the two deadly enemies were relieved of their previous suspicions. After listening to a girl who had only known each other for a few days, the young man wanted to help kill the boss
who was in awe at the moment to avenge his mother.
It's a complete and completely lacking positive image.
The emotional scene between the old group of villains and the group of small fresh meat is also blunt to death.
The most ridiculous thing is that the last bento of the snow bottle vomited without warning, so it makes no sense! ! Are you worthy of the FLAG you inserted before? !

All in all, apart from the fighting scenes, this movie is really lackluster. When I watched the fight scene, I was very happy, but after the fight, I started to have an embarrassing cancer attack...

However, my dad seems to be quite happy after watching it today, so the words I said above are just some of my useless words. Complain, it doesn't matter.
