Because of my martial arts addiction some time ago, I watched some Hong Kong-made martial arts films in the 1980s and 1990s. However, the Wong Fei Hung series has become a favorite in recent days. The daily cycle of "Men Be Self-improvement" does not make me tired. I have time to revisit the last "Lion of the Western Regions" tonight, so I might as well talk about the whole series.
This "Lion of the Western Regions" is the last director of the Wong Fei-hung series, and Tsui Hark has been replaced by Hong Fat. Maybe it's because the whole series has no new ideas in 1997. Maybe it's a foreplay that was warmed up in advance to cater to jet li's move to Hollywood. This final work was not successful in the market reputation. Bao Zhilin actually drove to the United States, Huang Feihong lost his memory, and the western cowboy actually knew martial arts. The far-fetched relationship between the United States and China made the audience feel that this film, which combines Chinese and Western, is a bit nondescript. But fortunately, the plot is still smooth and the martial arts action is always chic. It is quite embarrassing for Huang Feihong to go to such a field, from Foshan to the provincial capital, from the provincial capital to the capital, from civil organizations to corrupt officials, and the pace of rushing out of Asia to the world will not stop. -_-#
In addition to the above criticisms, the film still retains Tsui Hark's consistent style. After Huang Feihong sobered up, he gave a generous speech to the Chinese workers, and the traitors inside the Chinese workers mocked Guijiao Qi at the end of the film. The Chinese workers surrounded a plump prostitute, all of which reflected the scourge of the inferiority of the Chinese people of that era. Perhaps from the first Top Gun, Tsui Hark has already prepared a blueprint for the modern history of China. From the details of the film, we can see Tsui Hark's attitude towards modern Chinese history. For example, Liu Yongfu and Master Huang have an impassioned dialogue at the beginning (the fan of an unequal treaty). Liang Kuan's performance in the conflict between the theater owner and the Shahe Gang Self-questioning and self-answering of the final speech to Li Hongzhang in the third Lion King Contest to wake up the world. The reason why the first three films will become classics, I think that aside from the success of Jet Li's performance and the success of Tsui Hark's soundtrack, the director's attitude towards history is an important factor that makes this series unique.
Tianxingjian gentleman to self-improvement. Self-improvement does not necessarily have to shout slogans to desperately cater to those great things. Self-improvement is big but small. Just like Master Huang said, it is not a feasible strategy to mobilize the teachers and the masses. Finally, I hope that everyone can have something that can motivate themselves when they are doing things. Thinking about their target man and being self-improvement is definitely not an empty talk.
