The classic Hong Kong film period, also known as the representative work of the golden age of Hong Kong film, is also the outburst of Tsui Hark after many years of silence, the pioneering work of Tsui Hark's martial arts films. In a turbulent era, broken mountains and rivers, outside are invaded by foreign powers, and inside there are ignorant governments and ignorant people; a generation of martial arts masters with unique skills and caring for the country and the people, with the world in mind, and working hard; a romantic and legendary love. Some people say that people who really understand Tsui Hark's films will know that there are two major themes in Tsui Hark's films, one is love and the other is national love. This film covers these two major subjects. I think the English name of this film Once upon a time in China can better represent the idea of this film. As for the film production, script, directing, action design, actors' performances, and cinematography editing are all impeccable, I think this is Tsui Hark's best film.
