There are two kinds of food programs in "Flying Over Mount Guan": one is to present the ingredients first and then juggle them into a delicious food step by step; the other is to recommend delicious food and then analyze the details. But I'm not talking about the difference between the main story and the flashback, or the difference between "Everyday Meal" and "A Bite of China". There are also two types of narrative films: one is that even if the key characters in the film appear one by one at the beginning, they explain their identities and backgrounds, and then start again; people. In other words, one is the flow of time and the other is the flow of people. (Of course, there is another kind of stream of consciousness) "Flying over Mount Guan" belongs to the former. Nine people with different backgrounds and personalities, including bankers, peddlers, gangsters, avengers, prostitutes, pregnant women, policemen, doctors, and, of course, coachmen, just because they have the same destination, accidentally sit in one. in a wagon drawn by six horses. I know that there are thieves who kill people without blinking an eye on the road ahead. It's more of a road movie than a Western. The music, scenes, and narrative rhythm are all good! But I don't like its finale. The final duel was a little hasty, rising high and falling gently. It is too old-fashioned to have a happy ending like the one who loves each other and go to the paradise together. But how can it be strange, after all, this is a work from the 1930s.
