The English title of "Once upon a time in China" is "Once upon a time in China". Compared with the TV series "Once upon a time in China" cast in the mainland, "Once upon a time" comes more like a search for the past, with more ethereal elements. Chivalrousness and explicit national pain. The age of the story determines the temperament of the story, and the temperament of "Huang Feihong" lies in the reflection on history and the acceptance of modern civilization. No matter how good martial arts is, it can't withstand the guns of foreigners, and is "Golden Mountain" already at your feet? Change should start from oneself. It is these thoughts that are laid out a little bit through lines or shots.
In "Huang Feihong". There is conspiracy, politics, love, family and country, morality, punches and kicks are very lively, comedy elements are appropriate. In those days, Tsui Hark used this to create a new round of martial arts craze after "Swordsman Swordsman". If it is said that the "Swordsman" series has more literati quagmire, and is intertwined with ancient romantic sentiments, then to the "Huang Feihong" series, the more well-known family history has attracted more recognition. The personal charm and heroic integrity of Huang Feihong are more willing to see by the public.
The theme song of the film "A man should be self-improvement" is adapted from an ancient song, majestic and vast. The tropes of blood like sunlight, iron gall and steel bones make people excited, and the lyrics of "I am a man to be self-reliant" are still awe-inspiring after many years. The strength of the theme song also makes the story of "Huang Feihong" easier for others to recognize. In the known years of Hong Kong movies, "Foshan Wuyingjiao" is only a pseudonym for "Huang Feihong", while "a man should be self-reliant" is the realistic meaning of "Huang Feihong".
"Once upon a time in China" is a huge and complicated context, especially in Chinese culture, it will carry too much historical weight, and "Huang Feihong" does a good job, from "home" to "national" , The personal transformation corresponds to the torrent of the times, and it stops at the click of a button, which is not annoying.
