Mr. Hu's portrayal of women in martial arts movies is in fact just pursuing a sense of beauty. He has a deep family background in traditional Chinese painting since he was a child. His initial enlightenment was to copy "Nvhong" in his mother's study, and his mother who was skilled in fine brushwork often taught him to draw embroidered portraits of some ladies. When he was young, he went to the house of Zhang Boju, a famous scholar in Beijing, to listen to Xu Beihong and Zhang Daqian talk about the essence of Chinese painting. Xu Beihong has always believed that the most classic masculine aesthetics of Chinese painting art is based on the feminine style of painting, while the traditional female vision of Chinese literati has been the mainstream in the field of Chinese painting art for thousands of years. Such a theory has benefited Mr. Hu a lot and had a great influence on his later artistic practice in the field of film.
This style of redefining the result of the combination of film images with the techniques of freehand brushwork and realism in Chinese painting art as a medium has a very superb artistic appreciation and creative awareness. Such a film style is considered only artistic conception at most, and the dialogue is often seldom clear in the freehand to give the viewer more space to understand the intention conveyed by the film screen. This is the creativity of the narrative method that the film art has been pursuing. Therefore, when this film participated in film festivals in Europe, it was sought after by countless filmmakers. He used static shots at different locations, characters in different poses to move inside and outside the screen, and combined with the contrasting natural and humanistic colors to make the film truly do it. The effect of "integration of people and painting", and the integration of female characters, makes this freehand background, and the transformation of the rhythm of the characters, more beautiful and transcendent. The teacher once said: In fact, the main purpose of martial arts culture is not to promote violence, but to shape a lost virtue with traditional dramatic behavior and anti-use moral behavior. In fact, female roles are more capable of romance, because as individuals, they are the vulnerable group in the social fire composition, and the factors of oppression are relatively heavy. However, as a maternal role, they are a great group, not only the first moral enlightenment for a person to come into the world. And their beauty and inner tolerance are the fulcrums of the balance of the whole society. "These words seem to have made his own understanding of martial arts culture very thorough. As a drama, martial arts is its appearance, and the integrity of the category of human nature is the true meaning of the film. It can be seen that what Mr. expresses is very traditional. Values ​​are inviolable, and his film personality is exactly the same.
