In fact, Tsui Hark did a good job, but it was not good enough to satisfy everyone's expectations. Tsui Hark began to try to portray multiple characters in Seven Swords (always felt strongly influenced by The Lord of the Rings), and began to try some Hollywood techniques ( For example, Qijian appeared in Wuzhuang for the first time), and began to try to change his existing routine mode. If you asked you who the director was after watching the movie without knowing the details, you would definitely not say it was Tsui Hark. It can be seen that Tsui Hark No matter how much he has changed, it is rare for him to dare to take on new challenges when his martial arts movie is almost at its peak.
Judging from the film itself, there are indeed many regrets. Neither the actors nor the director can grasp the strength of the portrayal of many characters. Except for the villain and the eldest disciple, Chu Zhaonan, the portraits of others are very blurred or even have no portraits; the story arrangement is lacking. Thought, but this may be the reason for the excessive editing of the version (look forward to the full DVD version); there is nothing eye-catching in the martial arts design, Tsui Hark gave up the freehand brushwork he was good at and changed it to realistic and heavy, but the whole play Martial arts are lackluster.
Fortunately, I am looking at this film with a more tolerant attitude. Although it is not a classic, it can be regarded as a passable work. Tsui Hark is trying, and what we need is patience and continued anticipation.
