Tsui Hark's version of Huang Feihong has more epochal significance than the old version. In the old version of "Once Upon a Time" (Guan Dexing version), Huang Feihong is a deified hero who does not use force easily, but must punish evil and remove evil. , which often shows the moral power that evil is invincible and the benevolent is invincible. Tsui Hark's version retains these characteristics of Huang Feihong, but in terms of background and theme, it is elevated to the height of family hatred. Tsui Hark took off the cap on the head of the old version of Huang Feihong and the old-fashioned gown in the shape, which turned this patriarchal master into a figure of the era whose Chinese culture was impacted by the West. He had to face the wheels of history. The internal and external troubles came down (for this reason, the director did not even follow history, so that he experienced all the great historical events in modern China to complete the sublimation of the film's theme). However, Huang Feihong's mind and spirit of accommodating Chinese and foreign cultures (such as Huang Feihong and Sun Yat-sen's combination of Chinese and Western medicine in "Huang Feihong's Second Man Should Be Self-improvement") has become the director's best performance of borrowing words. And Tsui Hark himself is based on this broad vision and mind, so that his works have strong creativity, and this "Once Upon a Time" is not only the pioneering work of the new school of Chinese Kung Fu films, but also unsurpassed. peak.
