This film can be said to be many classic films of the same year in the 80s and 90s! The handsome and forbearing father (Jet Li), the sensible and smart son (Xie Miao), the sinister and sinister BOSS (Yu Rongguang), the fashionable and beautiful Hong Kong policewoman (Anita Mui), the honest and affectionate Ma Zai (Ke Shouliang), and Liu Songren, Zou Zhaolong, Lu Huiguang and other outstanding actors' supporting roles not only portray each character in flesh and blood, but also make the lineup star-studded.
As a kung fu movie, it is based on mainland China and Hong Kong, China, forming a relatively strong urban contrast; undercover police officers in the mainland are paid hundreds of yuan, and they are wandering around every day, tens of millions of cases. You can still stick to your duties, how much support does this need? Of course, one of the classics of this film is that all conflicts are well done, and the days of the gangster licking blood and living under the ruthless BOSS are also Allow the audience to empathize with their feeling of anxiety all day long.
As the director's work by Yuan Kui (one of Hong Kong's "Seven Little Fortunes"), the martial arts actors in it are also top-notch!
Jet Li - National Martial Arts Champion, also received an interview with Premier Zhou
Yu Rongguang——Learned Peking Opera since childhood and served as a martial arts student for more than ten years, and has a solid foundation in martial arts performances
Xie Miao, a small hit star, has won a number of championships and runners-up in boxing, swords and guns in Beijing, especially his tenacity and calm temperament beyond his peers are not possessed by other child stars
Zou Zhaolong and Lu Huiguang can be said to have brought too many classic villains to the post-80s and 90s, so I don't need to repeat them.
The martial arts movie, which begins with a juvenile martial arts competition, is simple and direct, and it also reflects the undercover father's long absence from his son's life because of this special "job", and the handling is also very good.
How many boys also like to practice holding their breath when washing their faces and hair when they are young? Anyway, I especially like to do it. Although my father doesn't accompany me, I have a lot of fun playing alone.
In Beijing's market alleys, briquettes, flagstone roads, bicycles, vest sweaters, military coats, and Chinese cabbage stockpiled on the ground in winter simply squeeze the temperament of old Beijing!
Looking at Hong Kong again, high-end restaurants, asphalt roads, cars, sunglasses, windbreakers, and the parking guys at the entrance of the restaurant are almost like the mainland. (After all, at that time, I have to admit that we were still backward at that time)
The conflict of female characters is also well portrayed, a sick but simple wife, a Hong Kong policewoman who dares to love and hate. The image depicts the personality difference between mainland women and Hong Kong women, but the plot did not make the obviously better Hong Kong policewoman fall in love with the good and handsome Jet Li directly, but through the death of his wife, the sensible son, Jet Li again and again. Her righteous act, especially her son's (immediate relatives!) recognition of her, makes the audience feel affectionate and not disgusted with the hero and heroine behind (generally this kind of relationship is not handled well, and the audience will especially hate "wife-bereaved man" and "" The emotional fusion of "Amorous Girl"), of course, at the end of the film, there is no account of whether the two are together, and the scale of handling is very good!
Because I am a native of Chengdu, Sichuan, I saw "Sichuan Province" dazzlingly, so I paused and looked back carefully. The address above is: No. 11, Ministry of Internal Affairs Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing. (It's a big deal!)
"No. 11 Neiwu Street" is an old house on the second east side of Beijing. It was once the residence of the first-class Cheng Jia Yi Yong Gong Fucha Mingrui during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. General's House". Because Princess Shou Engulun, the daughter of Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty, married here, it is also called "The Sixth Princess Mansion". After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the owner of No. 11 Courtyard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was Yue Ganzhai, the manager of the Salt Industry Bank. He created China's first stock exchange, the "Beijing Stock Exchange". In the following decades, the hospital has changed its owners several times, but the basic layout of the original house has not changed, and the main buildings still exist. In 1984, it was designated as a cultural relics protection unit in Beijing.
Legend has it that Cao Xueqin used to be a guest here and wrote "A Dream of Red Mansions" here! Ps. Writing "A Dream of Red Mansions" is an unofficial history, and the credibility is not high. But this place, as a military compound, is still Jiang Wen's former residence and growing place! It is also the place where the story of "Sunny Days" takes place and one of the filming locations for "Evil Does Not Overcome Righteousness"!
The following mailing address: No. 9, Industrial Street, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. At present, I haven't found any unofficial history. If there is any information about soybean oil, please let me popularize it. I only know that this place is near the famous scenic spot "Kuanzhai Alley" in Chengdu. During the Kangxi period, after the Zhungeer Rebellion was settled, the disciples of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Manchu were stationed here. After the Qing Dynasty, many dignitaries also came here to set up mansions. , residential.
I don't know if I want to show that Jet Li is a high-ranking official or a loyal descendant/confidant through this small detail. After all, these two addresses did not have any substantive promotion effect on the plot, and everyone didn't even pay attention to these two addresses.
I admired myself that a pause took me a few minutes to learn an unofficial anecdote. Of course, my willingness to spend these few minutes is also related to me, as a Chengdu native, now working in Beijing.
Speaking of this film, as a martial arts film, it is more reasonable to integrate family affection (mainly father and son), love (the Chinese people's unspeakable view of love, and the love between male and female protagonists), and brotherhood (Jet Li and Ke Shouliang). And basically can arouse everyone's empathy, which is where many kung fu films fail to do well.
The boss Yu Rongguang's fighting scenes are also well designed. The classic "Hidden Armor" (Jet Li grabs his sleeve, he can put on and take off freely, and beat Jet Li, I picked this name randomly), which proves that he is cunning and weird. The side that doesn't play cards according to common sense.
In the end, Jet Li and Xie Miao's martial arts action design is also very memorable. The father and son shared a long whip (hemp rope) to fight two against three. At that time, it also made my blood boil, especially throwing the son as a yo-yo and hitting it The bad guy, the design is very mindless, but people can't help but applaud. As a martial arts drama, and with child stars participating, this kind of martial arts action against physical common sense can also be regarded as a cocktail of "innocence" + "sprinkling dog blood" + "patriotic feelings", which makes people drink happily.
At the end of the film, through the son's second suspended animation (everyone knows that he will not die, after all, he still remembers the foreshadowing of holding his breath at the beginning and the first "feigned death"), the emotions of the male and female protagonists are naturally progressed. The treatment method is common but very efficient.
Generally speaking, as a modern martial arts film, it combines family and country feelings (not too profound), black and white, father-son relationship, a little love, a little brotherhood, with many elements, but the plot is not messy, the fighting scenes have memory points, bad guys At the time, it was also bad and completely hated, and the actors' acting skills were all online. It was a very good classic movie!
