This film is an elegy for Hong Kong Kung Fu films. You can see a lot of detailed design, but unfortunately because of the size, it is estimated that there are many trade-offs. Needless to say, in the martial arts part, that kind of delicate design is hard to see. The leg battle is designed on the huge hanging bones, because the lower plate pays attention to stability, so the whole hanging battlefield is not easy to maintain balance to reflect. The grappling battle is designed in an environment with water tanks on all sides, because grappling pays attention to unloading force and strength, making the best use of the situation, and the characteristics of water are exactly in line. The battle of weapons is mainly reflected in the weapons. The so-called "foot is long and inch is short", so the tall one is against the short one, and the longest stick is against the shortest utility knife... The literary part is really weak, and it is not fully displayed. However, it also gives enough information to derive. For example, the role of Wang Baoqiang, at first glance, may feel like a villain and tool person and inexplicable, but after careful deduction from the details, you can understand his history closely: born with disabilities, and extremely talented in martial arts, this may also be The only thing he is good at, so he has become a martial arts idiot. At the same time, he is inferior and conceited, paranoid about himself, and puts his "win" in proving his kung fu above everything else. Fighting against each other, it is not only the winner, but also the life and death.” The biggest part of the expression of this film should be "the times have changed, and it is not as simple and neat as a gunfight to watch kung fu hand-to-hand combat", after all, "killing skills", hot weapons can be called dimensionality reduction strikes. In this sense, Wang Baoqiang's character is resisting the unstoppable trend, and even his lines, which have a sense of old-fashioned literary and white, reveal a sense of incompatibility with the times. And Donnie Yen's role is just the opposite, a representative of conforming to the trend. At the same time, the setting of "Tangqianyan" is very worth pondering. "No. 1 in the world is useless, but the emperor's Tangqianyan" is a symbol of honor and a high-level warning... The role of Donnie Yen in the film was originally the Hong Kong police force. How does this point of the instructor fit in with the image of "Tangqianyan".
