Literary opera is not good, martial arts is a fart!——Written after "Dragon Tiger Gate"

It is said that this is a comic adapted from Huang Yulang that has been serialized for 35 years. Although I am not a comic fan, I am also wondering in my heart. As the so-called way of civil and martial arts, one should not be neglected, and the two should not be neglected. Unfortunately, after watching the whole movie, except for a few paragraphs of fighting scenes that can still make the blood boiled by those who have excess adrenaline secretion, I think this is a movie. For a movie without content, some people say that the literary drama of this movie is zero. In fact, if it is possible, I would like to give it a negative score. So from the beginning of the movie, I had already found the most comfortable position to lie down, and planned to put my head on the balcony to blow the air first, and then I would take it back after the movie was over. In terms of appreciation, there is no question of understanding.

Some people say that the genre that best represents Hong Kong movies is martial arts and kung fu movies. That's good, but if there is only kung fu and no martial arts, is it the same or the representative genre of Hong Kong movies? I still don't believe how much vitality can something pure and provocative without a cultural core have. It's like Jin Yong's martial arts novels have eighteen palms to subdue the dragon, but there is no love between Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and there is a palm of sorrow. But without the touching stories of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, and without the loyalty, family, and world that are reflected in it, it is better to give you a copy of "Sunflower Collection" and slowly understand it yourself. The reason why Bruce Lee can become forever Classic, immortal idol, I think in addition to the neat "Jeekune Do" he created, more should be a spirit reflected in him, a spirit of Chinese martial arts. And what do we see in this movie? From the very beginning, the setting of the story is a virtual environment, which takes the background out of the real life, which has greatly weakened the reality of the movie, that is, the life and death in the movie, the sword, the sword, and the shadow are all just an illusion. Therefore, this makes all emotional factors in the movie extremely cheap, so when Ma Xiaoling lost her father, when the Rakshasa woman sacrificed herself for love, who can tell me that you are even a little moved? This makes us feel that time flies too slowly when we watch these paragraphs, so let's wait until the next fight comes, and I'll watch it again, and the first few paragraphs of the movie with one enemy and many people always make people feel Very familiar, it is clearly a domestic replica of "The Matrix 2", and the fighting scene is arranged in a Japanese restaurant. It seems that this arrangement can reflect a bit of mystery. Is it transplanted from the Tang Dynasty culture? How about a facelift of Japanese equipment that can express a more stylized image style? Does Shi Heilong say something like "I am often bullied abroad" and so on, can it reflect the vastness and profoundness of Chinese Kung Fu, which can not only strengthen the body but also protect the family and the country? Why is a good boy being bullied? In the past, China was oppressed because of China's backwardness and poverty, but judging from the modern mobile phone he is equipped with, the motherland has basically achieved modernization. If you are bullied again at this time, I am afraid it is your character problem.

Since literary dramas are useless, let's take a look at the martial arts design of Brother Dan, who is praised by many people. If you think that this movie is a small dozen in three minutes and a dozen in five minutes, the story will not be boring. If you don't sleep, then except for those babes who watch lively and juggling, this movie will definitely be quite narrow. After all, not everyone likes to watch people jumping up and down to show body aesthetics. From the beginning of "Machine Change", and then to "Killing the Wolf", Donnie Yen seems to have become the spokesperson of Hong Kong martial arts design. From the above two movies, we can see that the routines he designed are from "Killing the Wolf". It's getting a little boring now. What he's looking for is a kind of coherent and unexpected movement, and it can also be seen that he pays attention to beauty and strength, and it seems to be seen from several scenes. When it comes to some of the effects that he has repeatedly used to show the extreme body shape, he also used computer stunts in this film. Brother Dan, why don't you learn computer animation production and design a few Bruce Lees, so that you don't have to Because Xiao Xie and Xiaole have no kung fu skills, they are stretched thin in action design. It is a good suggestion. Maybe these words are not in place.

It’s just an action movie, and it’s not enough to just swing the action. Some people say that making a movie is to be pure, and making a kung fu movie is to design the action wholeheartedly. I think it’s because your understanding of pureness is biased. It's juggling. I don't think it's still juggling more than 100 years after its birth. It's just a high-level computer juggling. It lacks a solid foundation for literary drama.
