The plot is very simple. The story roughly takes place in a legendary process in which Bingzi was in chaos, the Manchus invaded the Korean peninsula, and the brothers and sisters who had the revenge of killing their father fought a battle of wits and bravery with a team of Manchu cavalry and archers. The legendary archery and sniping plots are the biggest points of interest, and it has the taste of the bow and arrow version of "Soldier in the City". Although the plot is full of dog-blood revenge and pursuit, the sense of rhythm is in place, and the handling of the ending also plays a role in the climax of the film. What is particularly commendable is the art design of the film. Manchu's clothing and hair accessories are very consistent with history. The film also uses a lot of Manchu, although it sounds like stale Korean like the Chinese in the previous Korean historical films, but the attitude In the end, it is 100% authentic, and it can be seen that the crew has done enough homework in this regard.
The filming is very good. Although the number of extras in the war scene is not large, it is also magnificent, and it also roughly captures the murderous and bloody face of the Manchu invaders. Secondly, for several fierce archery battle scenes, the power and precision of the bow and arrow are fully conveyed to the audience through the lens language, and the use of bullet time in the shooting scene of the bow and arrow is quite shocking.
Looking at the scene of "the husband and wife returning the home" at the end of the movie, it's hard to let go. Although the sticks have carried out a barbaric "cultural aggression", their strong sense of national honor is worthy of my contemplation and shame. Thinking about the Chinese civilization that we are proud of and carried forward in other countries, if we don't fight, it will be silent approval, which is disdain, but also helpless. More and more excellent Korean film works are hitting our theaters and mental barriers. The sticks seem to be warning us in another way that if we don't fight for it, even "Lin Jeremy" will be theirs.
