Cool, it was my first feeling after watching Huang Feihong.

The theme of action movies is the action of martial arts, which sets off the refreshing feeling of fighting and the strength of the protagonist's edge. It is necessary to draw a distinct story line.

Huang Feihong, as a hero who implements greatness from the beginning to the end, his values ​​of patriotism and resistance to foreign enemies cannot be changed. His biggest change is from insisting that China is the most powerful, disgusting to rely on foreign power, to relying on foreign power to be the best. Has used the power beyond China and the ocean.

The Thirteenth Aunt, played by Guan Yonghe, in this film, in addition to being the ally (princess) who is responsible for helping the protagonist to create targets, she also acts as a spiritual guide for the protagonist. At first, she debuted as the eldest lady who returned from overseas. Her fluent English and foreign girlfriends made domestic friends bright. She used a camera to take pictures of the two protagonists and caught fire, making the protagonist full of doubts about the quality of foreign goods. It is good to lay the groundwork for this theme.

The biggest conspiracy of the main line—trafficking Asian people to work as coolies in Jinshan, the United States, has always been expressed in the form of literary dramas. It appears from time to time in one after another martial arts drama, and it is difficult for the audience to pay attention here. The foreigners sent leaflets calling for people to go to Jinshan - Shahe Gang and a group of people asked for Jackson's help, and found that Jackson squeezed the Chinese who went to Jinshan to work - the trapped coolie broke free from the shackles and swam and fled to the theater to be slandered - Huang Feihong rescued the coolie and learned the truth about going to Jinshan - Liang Kuan, who was kicked out of the theater, was unable to join the team to Jinshan to earn a living because he had no money. - Coolie was killed. - Thirteenth Aunt and others were sent to the boat to Jinshan. The yamen was sold, and the yamen was hijacked on the spot - after the incident was resolved, the yamen and Huang Feihong talked about going to Jinshan. Huang Feihong believed that it was impossible for foreigners to go to China to recruit troops for the sake of going to Jinshan.

The main line of recruiting Liangkuan into the team is also written one after another and is very long. He is also the one who describes the most moving, emotional and complete. From a fledgling young man, he was eager to meet the person he liked, fled when he met the strong, and even died out of self-protection, and betrayed Huang Feihong and his group who were kind to him and felt ashamed. , his deep desire for justice and strength, as well as his love for Thirteenth Aunt, finally made him choose to stand up and fight the Shahe Gang, even at the revered master, watching Zeng use hard qigong and iron cloth shirt to break through The master of the cold weapon died of a foreigner's gun and was deeply saddened. What I like is this kind of counter-attack character who turns into a hero.

Yan Zhenkuan can be said to be the most powerful single-player competitor in the main storyline. He has the backbone and is proud of his kung fu sect. However, unlike Huang Feihong, who implements justice from beginning to end and is bright, his values ​​are that he has enough. Only with resources (fame and wealth) can we have the confidence to implement our own justice. Before that, no matter whether the other party's values ​​conflict with their own, as long as they can save their lives, they must live under the fence of others. Is it not the helplessness forced by life? In reality, it's hard to say whether people like Huang Feihong who stick to their principles to the end can feed the vigilantes, right?

Off topic, the theme of this film is to talk about the national disaster, how do you save the country? According to Huang Feihong's line, he is bright and upright, does not know how to play strategy, relying on his personal strength and charisma to attract people to lend a helping hand is the most suitable route for him to push the enemy.

The unresolved problem is to solve the unequal treaty. The specific symbol here—the fan given to Huang Feihong by Liu Yongfu, has changed from an unequal treaty to an equal treaty after the failure of Thirteenth Aunt. At the end, everyone took a group photo, everyone held up a big white folding fan, and the hero and heroine wore dresses. Is this a blank for the background question?
