I want to give full marks to the poster design of the cover. Beneath the rolling red clouds is the figure of Huang Feihong. The red and yellow colors are tragic and majestic.
The whole movie is full of action scenes. I can't say anything else about Jet Li's martial arts scenes except "good-looking"; every character is made with flesh and blood, especially the role of Liang Kuan, it feels very real, and he has the weaknesses and shining points of human nature. , the villain is also very brilliant: a penny can beat a hero, and in the face of survival and dignity and conscience, which is more important? The connotation of the film is also very profound. While telling a good martial arts story, Tsui Hark also added a lot of thinking about the East and the West. "No matter how good our kung fu is, we can't match the foreign guns." We only learned about the Westernization Movement in textbooks. And who knows what China was like at that time, with internal and external troubles, weak imperial court, oppression by foreigners, domestic infighting, rampant bandits, and common people's hardships. "Self-improvement", just two words, to the China that has come all the way. heavy. Thirty years later, this movie is still worth watching again and again, and its core is even more advocated today. When the suona of "Men's Self-improvement" sounded, the blood was really boiling, "Be a good man, be warm-blooded and warm-hearted, and be hotter than the red sun"! (The fly in the ointment is that this movie portrays the female character Thirteen Aunts too much. This is the heroine! But it is flatter than the supporting character Liang Kuan. I feel that her main role is to be rescued, which I don’t like very much. , this is also a common problem of some martial arts movies, not paying enough attention to the independent personality of female characters)
