In the movie, Huo Yuanjia was high-spirited when he was young, fighting the world, but he found that even if he became the number one in Tianjin, it was only his number one. Even if he could match one to ten, he couldn't suppress hatred with hatred, and he couldn't fight against rules and etiquette. , social norms, and it is impossible to win the hearts of millions of people, so that the family can't protect them and leave the scene in despair. After returning to the basics, the core is benevolence. Don't fight for the length of the time, but use martial arts to meet friends, don't seek to win people, only want to improve yourself. The slogan of self-improvement at the end is really infectious, and An Ye raised his hand to call Huo Yuanjia. The atmosphere of the movie is really good. In general, the plot is indeed weak, such as the transition is not natural enough, etc., but fortunately, the rhythm is acceptable, and the martial arts action is full of artistic sense. It is still my favorite martial arts action movie. In this 1 hour and 40 minute movie, there are two places that moved me very much, once when Huo Yuanjia returned to his hometown to pay respects to his parents, and once was the final battle. When I was young, I watched martial arts movies, and most of them were about whether the movements were handsome or not, and there were not many casualties. Now that I have grown up, I want to see the true meaning behind the movies through the scenes of martial arts with various moves. "Huo Yuanjia" did not disappoint me.

    The adaptation of the plot is a bit too much, but it would be better to stick to the original characters.

Fearless quotes

  • Huo Yuan Jia: Poison works very quickly. It has worked its way to my heart... Zhensheng, promise me you won't seek revenge. Revenge will only bring us more bloodshed. Please, that's not what I want. We must strive to become triumphant... Nong Jinsun, I only understand wushu. I practiced for many years to understand what Wushu is, what is wushu's real purpose. The competition must continue. One cannot choose how one's life begins. It takes courage to finish the final step.

  • Anno Tanaka: Since there's no superiority or inferiority in Wushu, why still have competition?

    Huo Yuan Jia: I believe that there's no superiority or inferiority in Wushu. Just the distinction of practitioners with different levels of ability. Through the competition we can discover this and meet the true self. Because indeed the antagonist is namely ourself. Only through competition, can one recognise one's true self.
