It should be said that this film is one of Stephen Chow's masterpieces, with a very deep connotation. When I first watched it, I just watched it as a comedy. Apart from laughing and having a good day, there was no deeper gain. With the increase of experience, re-watching this film, there is more understanding.

Ling Lingqi and Da Vinci met for the first time in the play. It was interesting to say hello. It was not Ah Qi and Wenxi, but two sentences were added: "Strengthening the mountain is like the world, but the time is unfavorable. What I said to Ling Lingqi turned out to be to praise Xiang Yu, but I said to Ling Lingqi here, which means praise and friendship. Ling Lingqi immediately used the next sentence, which is also very appropriate, saying that he, a hero, cannot be taken care of by fate. Desperate to kill a pig. Despite this, when I heard that there was a task, I agreed very happily. The leader sponsored 200 yuan, and I didn't care. What can I do with 200 yuan? Staying in a small hotel is a stark contrast to a big hotel. However, Ling Lingqi still devotes himself to the work enthusiastically... At the end of the film, Ling Lingqi and Da Vinci contact again, at this time the two no longer meet, because Da Vinci has been promoted, Ling Lingqi still kills pigs. Da Vinci once again said that when he had a mission, the hero's blood was already cold. He had to do big personal affairs, and let's talk about the small affairs of the country. There is the disappointment of having experienced the Golden Gun and the execution ground; there is also the promotion of Da Vinci, who could only invent the flashlight and folding stool, but still loses in killing pigs. Ling Lingqi really regarded himself as a pig butcher. As for the kitchen knife that appeared last, did it seem that the hero who was born and died could only live in a thatched hut with a pennant? There is only symbolic spiritual encouragement, but no material reward for solving life's problems.

In the section of the execution ground, Ling Lingqi had arranged three groups of people, one to complain, to seek relationships, and to run away. Obviously, the executioners were hard-hearted and could not even run. The first time I saw it, I was very curious about how Ling Lingqi escaped danger, but the director aroused my curiosity here, and finally realized that the statue of Taizu saved my life.

Although it is a film, art comes from life, and it does reflect real life. Even today, many problems in the film still exist in our lives, profoundly affecting our lives and even our destiny. This is also the depth of the film.
