How extreme is how great

"Ghost talent" Tsui Hark is undoubtedly an anomaly in Hong Kong movies. He took over Hu Jinquan's traditional martial arts idea, and with his wild imagination and absurd ideas, he has created countless strange and magnificent martial arts worlds of various shapes. As a leading figure in the "New Wave" of Hong Kong films, his creative techniques have become avant-garde in his works "Butterfly Change", "Hell No Door" and "The First Type of Danger" in the early 1980s. Alternative images, or bizarre and indefinable fast editing, or intricate and sharp stunts, often make moviegoers unable to extricate themselves in jaw-dropping.

The "A Chinese Ghost Story" series, which began in 1987, will always be a huge exclamation mark in the hearts of movie fans. This unforgettable beautiful memory, Hanshan ancient temples, pavilions and pavilions, Shili Pinghu Frost and sky, some of them are the hesitation of a down-and-out scholar, the sadness of a charming female ghost, and the funny and reckless knights who escaped the world. Love stories and fantastic action scenes can be called the pinnacle of Hong Kong movies in the 1980s.

The ghost world depicted in the film is no different from the appearance of the human world. It is freehand, real, and even has a bit of chivalrous paranoia. The tragic ordinary people, through their unremitting resistance, finally achieved a great victory over the society in the name of love martyrs. Although this nonsense in the sense of survival philosophy is just unrequited love no matter how you look at it, the movie has left us the best memory in the hallucination of Yoshimitsu Kataha, which has been unforgettable for more than ten years, so I am glad , "A Chinese Ghost Story" is as extreme as it is great.

On the shoulders of the original "Liao Zhai", this is undoubtedly a more exciting world legend.
