For example, "Seven Swords Down the Tianshan Mountains", before junior high school, I read two versions of text and comics. The seven-volume comics in one cardboard box was later borrowed by my father and any student could not return it, and my heart ached for a long time. Later, I read the seven-sword novels such as "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", "The Legend of the Outlander", and "The Legend of the Glacier". Therefore, I admit that I watched the movie Seven Swords with prejudice. For example, if you insist on saying that Chu Zhaonan is a knight, I can only perfunctory you by saying something like oops.
The rough texture of the gun disc made this movie universal and popular for me. But I quickly discovered that these two points seem to be the same in Tsui Hark. After playing the high-tech Shushan Chuan, Tsui Hark turned to martial arts to care for farmers, which coincides with the call of the Party Central Committee. Therefore, The content of Tsui Hark's version of Seven Swords can be described as:
pure peasants (Wu Zhuang villagers) are unarmed, have no fighting power, and are often bullied by bandits. After being armed with the sword), they were able to repel the enemy's lackeys, but the peasants were cowardly and easily divided, and eventually all died at the hands of the enemy (Qiu Dongluo) who had mixed into the working class.
The Seven Swords embody the helplessness of farmers very well. Farmers are afraid of all unknown factors and can only rely on fate or seek external help. Therefore, they are extremely thirsty for technology, and every farmer has a dream about technology (here , technology often must be able to solve the corresponding specific problems), such as Han Zhibang and Wu Yuanying's dream of martial arts (the original intention is that with good swordsmanship, Wuzhuang can be protected), farmers who simply master the technology can take root in the countryside with peace of mind. After the specific problems are solved, some people will find that solving new problems requires upgrading technology, so higher pursuits appear.
The problem is, once the peasants have this kind of pursuit, they will follow the swordsman's horseshoe and go away, and the occasional return becomes a condescending display.
In short, Tsui Hark is a good comrade, and Seven Swords is also a good movie.
