Hu Jinquan's rivers and lakes, Hu Jinquan's destination

Hu Jinquan should be the most literate of those who have filmed fighting in the bamboo forest. At least he has a deep understanding of Buddhist principles, and the different levels of life states are what he really wants to show in this film.

Although the people of Dongchang brutally murdered Zhongliang, Gu Shusheng was arrogant and arrogant, compared to Zhuge Kongming.

The love here is just a debt, and although it is biased, it reflects Hu Dao's disdain for the world.

In the end, Jin Yiwei, who was unable to influence, killed the two sons, and madly fancied his death, which also coincided with the cause and effect in the scriptures.

The majesty and compassion of monks are more obvious in this film. Perhaps the last finger in the West is also the destination that Hu Dao hopes for in this life.

    The atmosphere at the beginning is well rendered, the camera feel is very strong, the fight is not deliberate, the look is comfortable, the suspense is layered, but it is a little too careless of the rhythm, which makes the viewer feel uncomfortable and naturally can't stand it. I went to see the title of the Cannes award-winning film, and xixi fell asleep after half a movie~~ Haha

    It is similar to the mysterious atmosphere of the ghost of a Chinese girl. The characters appear only five or six minutes after the scene is edited in the empty mirror. The expression of the scene is far more than the dialogue. The girl is usually in white shorts, and the change is the same as Xiaoqian. His black long dress, the same sitting and playing the piano, the same lotus in the pond. As a costume action movie, the first fight does not appear until 60 minutes later. Many groups of characters try each other out, confucianism, soldiers, doctors, divination, monks, and chivalrous women. The martial arts movements are more realistic, with powerful movements and solid steps. The sound effects enhance the chopping sound of swords, the crispness of weapon collisions, and the harshness of friction. The climax of the bamboo forest and the night battle are all classics. The end here is enough to confine the gods. Taking it out alone in the last forty minutes is also a good show. From martial arts to the realm of Buddhism metaphysics, but even after the night battle, the protagonist deviates from the good and evil protagonists, and still feels that the sense of continuity of the whole film is slightly broken.
