The movie itself doesn't really have much to say.
The inspiration the movie brings to people is: It is a strange phenomenon that Koreans use Chinese (Hong Kong) technology to shoot Chinese characteristic culture (martial arts) and are actually very popular with Koreans. From "Flying Dance" to "Samurai", we can't see how it stands out from a mid-level Hong Kong-made martial arts film. But it is such a second-rate production that has broken the Korean box office records one after another.
Calm down and think: Are the so-called wonderful martial arts scenes, big scenes, "Hollywood star" Zhang Ziyi, or something else that really moved Koreans? In fact, the blockbuster works of Korean films in recent years (such as "Friends") are not blindly following Hollywood-style blockbusters, but are based on localized and nationalized works. Even in martial arts, because Korean culture is rooted in China, the blood of the Goryeo nation is flowing there.
From this, I think that the Chinese use Hollywood technology to make blockbusters, right? More than a hundred years ago, Wei Yuan, who was aware of current affairs, shouted out "Teaching the barbarians to master the barbarians". Li An seems to be the first to awaken, let alone whether he saves the country or not. In fact, Feng Xiaoning from the mainland was doing it a few years ago. Zhang Yimou is also doing it now. The crux of the problem is not actually here, but whether Chinese people can shoot with Chinese characteristics. Hollywood is instilling in the world the idea of a great nation that is only the United States. If we are still working behind closed doors and being arrogant, then in the end, we can only sum up Chinese films with two words from Mr. Lu Xun: mourning for its misfortune and indifference to anger.
Do not erupt in silence, die in silence.
