The scenes of the movie are very shocking, and the artistry is very skilled. The designs from character modeling to clothing, utensils, etc. are deeply branded with the Seven Swords, very unique, very postmodern, and very beautiful. The SM girl in the hot-and-hot camp that everyone is talking about actually fits the shape of the Jurchen or the people of the Western Regions. I don’t know if you still remember the shape of the Huns in the cartoon Mulan. Others, including helmets, breastplates, and horses, are also very beautiful. However, it is not a Chinese style. Most of the Chinese are light cavalry, and only Europe has this kind of heavy cavalry equipment. Maybe just leather armor. The pictures in the movie are also very beautiful, and many pictures can be enjoyed frame by frame, which is rare in Chinese movies. Although Zhang Yimou's film is more beautiful than this film, the traces of carving are too powerful. The sound effects of the movie also sound pretty good, and when you have the DVD of the Red Dragon version, you can enjoy it. The music is very good, and the priorities are just right.
I read this novel when I was in junior high school, but I don't remember it for a long time. I don't know why, I have never been interested in Liang Lao's novels. In fact, which one of Xu Lao's novels and movies is not a random modification, such as Xiaoao Jianghu, Shushan, etc., they are all just borrowing the name and setting of the novel to make Xu's martial arts masterpiece. Fortunately, in this movie, I saw Xu Lao's martial arts style combining the past illusory martial arts with realistic techniques like Broken Knife. It is expected that the next movie will be more exciting.
Not to mention other shortcomings, the actors' performances, the storyline, etc. are flawed, but Mr. Xu is still making progress, hoping to make a story seriously, not a game plot like this.
