"Flying Dragon Dragon" is a film that is both internal and external. It has good 3D effects and has all the elements of a martial arts movie you can think of: revenge, treasure hunting, love for children, and a variety of weapons (I did not expect Tang Jia After that, Wu Zhi likes to study weapons, and really made new ideas), conspiracy scams, and swift martial arts. The most important thing is that the story of the movie is no longer a palace mystery or a famous historical passage, but really returns to the essence of the chivalrous spirit of "the chivalrous criminals are forbidden by martial arts". The heroes of the arena did not hesitate to drew their swords because they could not get used to the Dongfang factory dominating Chaogang and killing Zhongliang, and resisted the tyranny with his own force and life.
Since the beginning of the new century, martial arts movies have begun to change, and orthodox martial arts movies have begun to fade out of the fans’ vision. Like "Heroes", "Night Banquet", and "Ambush on Ten Sides", among the films that are named blockbuster works of new century martial arts movies, you There is no trace of chivalrous spirit at all. What is the root of chivalrous spirit? It's resistance! No fear of power, no fear of licentious might, no fear of sacrifice, and respect for integrity and life and death, this is the spirit of chivalry. But what do we see in these works? I saw the great assassin give up to assassinate the tyrant, saw the bloody court political struggle, and saw the fragrant and passionate drama. Think about it all the way to the recent "Banquet of the Hong Men." Of course, you can't say that these movies are of poor quality, but these movies are just costume films, and they don't have any characteristics of chivalry at all. Therefore, "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate" traces the origin of chivalry at this time, which is very precious, and its significance is also very important.
You must know that martial arts movies are not just a commercial type of film for the public's entertainment and entertainment, and its practical significance and social effects are beyond the imagination of the audience. To give a simple example, why the martial arts movies made by Zhang Che in the 1960s and 1970s became so popular, because Hong Kong was unstable, corruption was serious, people’s lives were difficult, and there was nowhere to complain about dissatisfaction with the authorities. Martial arts movies vent their emotions. Of course, while martial arts movies provide audiences with a platform for emotional venting, they also subtly affect the audience’s psychology. The most obvious phenomenon is that after watching an authentic martial arts movie, you can easily feel your blood boiled, full of power, and even Like Jia Zhangke, I always think about finding someone to fight when I leave the video room. To a certain extent, martial arts movies can indeed help the audience build self-confidence and build up a sense of resistance, which has a certain positive significance for improving personality and maintaining social justice.
Just ask when you saw Zhao Huaian killing the boss of Dongchang; when you saw Chen Kun and Gui Lunmei mixed into the palace and poisoned the cruel Concubine Wan Gui, how many people could resist clapping or applaud, or were they secretly refreshed? Because everyone saw that the grassroots used their own strength and wisdom to destroy power, uphold justice, and satisfy the psychological expectations of the audience. At the same time, they also gave a sigh of illness for the weak martial arts movies in the new century.
In fact, you can hardly imagine that Tsui Hark can bring forth the new when he is 60 years old. He can not only make a technological revolution, but also let go of his obsession to trace the origin of martial arts. You must know that directors like Zhang Che have already begun to repeat themselves at this age. For Tsui Hark, "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate" is a masterpiece that proves that he has reached a new height; for the audience, "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate" may be a movie that allows people in unfair moments to wear uniforms with one sentence. Today, when ordinary people are hiding in embarrassment and embarrassment on the streets with heavy burdens, it is an enlightening work that really ignites blood; for the martial arts film itself, "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate" is a work that retrieves the dignity of martial arts movies.
