Tsui Hark’s new work, which has been sharpened in four years, is finally on the market. He is regarded as another contributor to the composition of martial arts propositions by well-known Chinese directors. In 2001, Li Ang took the lead in handing in the paper "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and won high marks from the teacher. In 2002, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" turned in a lot of money. In 2003, He Ping released the film of "Heaven and Earth Hero". Then shoot "Ambush on Ten Sides", and in 2005 Tsui Hark released "Seven Swords".

Compared with Li Ang and Zhang Yimou’s half-way monks, Tsui Hark was a fan of martial arts movies. "Huang Feihong", "New Dragon Inn", and "Swordsman" are all classic works in the new martial arts. Expectations are high. It may be that the previous classmates were too successful in business. Student Xu worked hard and worked hard to plan a movie legend similar to the "Star Wars" series. It is expected to be divided into six parts, and the planning will be started when the first one is being prepared. Later, the unfolding of the story and the arrangement of the characters involved the bizarre stories of legendary historical figures such as Nalan Rongruo and Dong Xiaowan, including Shunzhi monk, one of the four mysteries in Qing history, and the life experience of Yang Yuncong.

Different from the freshness and timelessness of the ink painting of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the bright and bright scenery of "Hero", the overall tone of "Seven Swords" is heavy, heavy and simple, which basically reflects the original life of a knight who lived 500 years ago. Intention, it can be seen that I have done my homework seriously. But like Student Zhang, Xu had time to personally design the shapes and origins of the seven swords: Mo Wen, Sun Moon, Sheshen, Jingxing, Youlong, Qinggan, and Tianpu, but he didn't have the energy to tell the whole story well. The structure of the story is loose, and the character is weak. After reading it, there is no deep plot and character. There is a group portrait, but the image is blurred, just like the center is not prominent and the focus is not accurate when the photo is taken.

In the film, Sun Honglei's dialogue of "bandits, even women grabbing, beasts are not as good as" won the audience's laughter. Sun's performance is very good and the comedy effect is also good. It is a good piece to take out alone, but it just destroys the film that the director has painstakingly cultivated. Atmosphere, it is typical to use words to mean harm. On the one hand, I have 12 million dollars and want to try the effects of Hollywood epic blockbusters. On the other hand, I can’t put aside the usual Hong Kong-style funny tactics and lose control between the solemn atmosphere and the relaxed and humorous. In addition, Lu Yi let go of the old horse and yelled at the mountains for a while. His performance was also apathetic, and his approach was naive.

Liang Yusheng’s original work "Seven Swords Under Tianshan" is well written, and student Xu cut it into "Seven Swords" according to Motorola's brand recasting method, only emphasizing weapons and disappearing. This facilitates the launch of online games and other derivative products of the same theme. "First Knight"-style opening scenes are for the European and American markets, and Kurosawa-style fighting scenes in the Wuzhuang defense battle are for the Japanese market. Chu Zhaonan speaks Korean and creates a green bead out of thin air. For the Korean market. Each arrangement has a deep meaning, this is a carefully crafted commercial film. It's like a gorgeous commercial, it's well shot, but it's a little bit confusing for people to figure out what the product it wants to promote. "Sanlian" said that because of his empathy for the times, Tsui Hark once again expressed his pity for children in troubled times in "Seven Swords". Some people commented that "Seven Swords" brought martial arts movies back to the right path. Hey, I remembered Yang Yuncong's words to the children in the film, "Keep good things in your heart, don't flatter me".
