Thoughts should be difficult to change

Tsui Hark is indeed a talented director. His films not only have wonderful action designs and special effects, but also have his own thoughts, his own understanding and demands. When I was young, I watched Huang Feihong, but I couldn't understand the hatred of the country and the family. Now that I have grown up, I have become numb. Although it is understandable, I am too lazy to think about it. I still like to enjoy it as a martial arts film, because the human heart is too complicated, it is really difficult to change the habits that have been inherited for thousands of years. and ignorance.
The background of this episode is Guangzhou. Under the shroud of the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect, the concession and the Qing court use each other to prevent each other from being hostile to each other. There are both ignorant ordinary believers and the masses, patriotic and unscrupulous officials, as well as shrinking foreign forces and restless revolutionary parties. When I was a child, I always wanted to know who is the good person and who is the bad person. In fact, the human heart is so complicated, how can there be absolute good and bad black and white. Everyone has their own ideas and concepts, and everyone has their own goals and pursuits, all for their own sake.
The characters are well shaped, and Huang Feihong is still that traditional and almost pedantic master, full of benevolence and righteousness. Nalan Yuanshu is a good eagle dog, full of self-motivation, and a bit unscrupulous. At the same time that the White Lotus teaches ignorance of the people, it is actually deeply xenophobic. The truly awakened Lu Haodong is impassioned and a rare positive character. As for Sun Yat-sen created by Zhang Tielin, it is very awkward, more like a speculator.
Just talking about fighting, the most exciting is the White Lotus Sect and the final stick fight. In the main altar, the fighting design is very suitable for the scene, and there are even fake fights, that is, Weiya hangs a little more, and flying around is a little magical. The final confrontation between Jet Li and Donnie Yen is the biggest highlight. Both of them have a solid foundation. The long stick confrontation is hearty, exciting and thrilling. The last cloth stick has always been remembered and impressed.
When I grow up, I don’t want to worry about the country and the people when I watch movies, I just want to appreciate some gorgeous and beautiful things, relive it again, and then I shouldn’t touch this movie again, because its depression is like the erhu of the old man in the restaurant, Loudly.
