Watch "Huo Yuanjia"

Preaching is unavoidable. Many great directors also inevitably preach in the works of specific historical periods. The biggest problem with this film (140-minute cut version) is that it subverts the traditional kung fu model to form a bizarre and absurd character spectrum: in the film, it seems that only the protagonist Huo Yuanjia (once) has a dark and destructive tendency, and his opponents at various stages Feeling better than him? Master Qin's anger and hurting people are understandable. The strong players in the United States, France and Japan in the back arena can quickly realize the good intentions and stop fighting to pay tribute. Even Zhao Jian, who has been feuding since a small period of time, fell into the ring and was willing to bet and admit defeat, but his disciples were not like the Huo family disciples. That way of eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, provoking right and wrong, causing a big disaster... This kind of "inexplicable bad when it's dark / good will rise up the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva" seems to be innovative and complicated, but in fact it is rigid and contrived, and makes the preaching part let go. People feel more embarrassed and conflicted. It is far better to maintain a line from beginning to end. Chivalry is always full of humanity, and the children have different personalities and lively interests. That's right! It is Huang Feihong that Jet Li himself played. As the saying goes: Generals always win only because they know how to choose the battlefield, and they need to do what they can. Hengzhuan: I also preached once!

It's actually quite outrageous to make a biography of a martial arts master so blunt and sensational. How to say it is like in times of famine, when you can’t get enough to eat, you force-feed you a handful of spiritual opium, and tell you that you are done with martial arts and patriotism.
