Different from the flower boxing and embroidered leg-style performances in previous martial arts films, all the fighting scenes in this film are performed by martial arts actors. Now we are familiar with the martial arts actors Yu Hai, Yu Chenghui, Ji Chunhua, including Li Lianjie, etc., are all made famous by this film. A few years ago, Henan TV station filmed the series "Legend of Shaolin Temple", and several of the big villains were re-starred by these old actors. For those who came from that era, they will definitely touch some feelings.
There are a lot of long shots of fighting scenes in the film, all of which are actually performed by martial arts actors. While bringing thrilling visual effects to the audience, from the current point of view, it seems a little verbose. Logically speaking, fight scenes should be from face to point and then face to face, but there are only "points" in the film, that is, close-up fights, and there is no explanation of the big scenes. Visual fatigue. There are too many martial arts scenes, and there is no progressive level. In the line of the protagonist Jueyuan's revenge, the growth of the protagonist is not visually reflected, which is a big shortcoming.
On the other hand, the film fully embodies the traditional Chinese chivalrous spirit. The hatred of the country and family is at the forefront, right and wrong must be distinguished, the big man is not careful about the small details, the wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha's heart is left, and the hero is the big one, it is to sacrifice and give up, for desire, for life, for love and hatred.
Jet Li's eyes were so clear back then. No wonder even my mother was fascinated.
