Snipers in the Age of Cold Weapons

I've always liked sniper movies, and the action in this one is fantastic. In the age of cold weapons, bows and arrows were sniping weapons. In "Water Margin", Yanqing's small bow is flexible and ingenious. Men's hobby of bows and arrows must have come from fun things like hitting sparrows with slingshots in childhood. Children release their desire for destruction through slingshots, and show their yearning for power extension. Where the hand is not enough, use a slingshot instead.

The Manchu warriors portrayed in this film are tough and powerful, rough and intelligent. This also explains why the Manchus conquered the Han Chinese with a large population and ruled. However, the prince is actually called Dorgon in the film, which shows that the historical consultant of this film is too imprecise.

    Although I can’t accept it emotionally, the Koreans also used Manchu in making this film, and the costumes and special effects are also very careful. The plot is a bit copied from Mel Gibson’s "Apocalypse Now", which is a good commercial film~

    The heavy use of hand-held and fast editing has overshadowed many domestic films. Historical background and the like can be ignored.
