The Invincible Peerless of the East and Tsui Hark's World Sentiment

The first thing that attracted me was the undefeated style of the East. Heroic, unrestrained, charming... words are just piled up, and her beauty is beyond people's imagination. To ridicule her for being neither a man nor a woman in front of such an outstanding person can only make me feel vulgar and stupid to do whatever I want. Of course, he is indeed a big layman who is obsessed with power. Jin Yong's postscript to "The Swordsman" is of little significance to reflect the phenomenon of the times, because the times will change, and only people will remain unchanged. He was absolutely right. There are people like Ren Woxing all the time, but the East is not defeated. People with beautiful facial features are not uncommon, but Brigitte Lin raised her eyebrows and laughed loudly.
Dongfang Invincible's injury stemmed from her tolerance to Linghu Chong, and it could be said that she died for love. It may be very unwise to look at it from the current point of view, but rationality includes judging the situation, and Dongfang's undefeated character does not include shrewd calculations, she does whatever she wants. The most affectionate characters are superior in power, but the victory in the worldly sense belongs to the teleological scheming; this is quite common.
Tsui Hark made such a big change to Dongfang Invincible, but Linghu Chong seems to have come out of the original book (also in line with the original book, Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian). Linghu Chong is open-minded and bright, and seems to be an unrestrained free figure. However, after following the trend has become a philosophy of life, every move is affected by the surrounding environment, as if to follow the trend, so Linghu Chong is not free. Whether it is Dongfang Invincible or Ren Yingying, everyone has their own position that they cannot give up. Therefore, although there is love, it is imperative to let go twice. Linghu Chong was left with the least charming little junior sister, and he could only be the least charming little junior sister; simple-minded people had no necessary place to go, so it was easy to follow the person they liked and achieve a kind of superficial consummation.
Brigitte Lin's invincibility in the East is unparalleled, but the movie itself tells a lot about the world. Tsui Hark is both a director and a philosopher, a poet and a hero, which is why he can make such films, while some people's martial arts films only have some not-so-good-looking punches.
