"The Heroine"

In fact, there is a big problem with the play. The editing is too jumpy and has no sense of fluency. The logic is not smooth, and it is not a complete story. The last paragraph of the gods descending to earth is also bullshit.

Hu Jinquan's martial arts story is empty, without details, and unconvincing, not as good as Yuyue Story. But the artistic conception is the only one, which greatly influenced the later martial arts films.

Use prop smoke to make mood.

Miss is I can't stand idly by. Why? My wife and I are in the same love as husband and wife, and we should have difficulties together.

Pay attention to personality, thickness and beauty. Yuyue Story has love, Hu Jinquan is more beautiful, but there is no love in it.

I don't agree with the martial arts ending in a cliché and meaningless duel.

"Xu Xianchun, you were originally the second left officer under Yan Shu." It's very classy to talk about a little history of the characters.

Pronunciation is deliberately mispronounced with three tones, which is very classy.

Why the martial arts scene is too long to make the audience feel tired: because the martial arts are not part of the plot after all, as long as they cannot promote the development of the plot, they are all nonsense.

Unexpectedly, the chivalrous woman has become Tomson's boss. . .

study notes:

During the filming of the film, Hu Jinquan spared no expense to build three antique streets and a hundred old houses in nine months, employing more than 1,200 technicians. In order to make it old, he also burned some buildings. These costs alone reached 14 million Taiwan dollars. Hu Jinquan only devoted himself to his creation, but the Federation could not bear his wasteful spending, and the shooting cycle continued to lengthen. After the completion of "Chivalrous Girl", it was released in two episodes, but the box office was not satisfactory.

After the completion of "Chivalrous Girl", Hu Jinquan intends to send it to Cannes to participate in the exhibition. The Federation does not believe that it will win the award, and refuses to pay any unnecessary expenses. In 1975 he edited a three-hour international edition and traveled to Cannes at his own expense. The film eventually won the prize and sold the European copyright, which finally made up for the loss of the film.

"Chivalrous Girl" is a perfect combination of martial arts theme, opera aesthetics and oriental thinking. The character setting and action design of the film all follow the routine of traditional Peking Opera. Hu Jinquan is not the first director to borrow elements of opera in his films, but he is the first and unique who can integrate the procedures and systems of traditional Chinese stage into video expression. Combining the real historical background with the fantastic fantasy of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai", "Chivalrous Girl" presents a world that is both real and not real. The pictures are poetic and picturesque. What is even more fascinating is the beliefs and thoughts carried by the ethereal images. At the end of the film, the image of the abbot sublimated with the passing away, and his silhouette was outlined by the sun, emitting a divine light. This expression gave Western film scholars a concrete perception of the "beauty" and "divine nature" of the East. .

Hu Jinquan has always been a lot higher than his contemporary Chinese martial arts, no matter the plot, the movement of the mirror, the action, the deep meaning, and even the dialogue. In terms of life, only Li Hanxiang can match him, so it is no wonder that the two are good friends.

The atmosphere at the beginning is very well rendered, the camera sense is very strong, the fighting is not deliberate, it is comfortable to watch, and the suspense is fully layered, but it is a little too rhythmical, making the viewers feel uncomfortable and naturally unable to watch.

A clip that dismantles a continuous action and uses several segments to build a sense of overall action. An unconventional way of paving the way for suspense. A composition of Chinese landscape painting style, the vast space is infinitely extended under the rolling = scroll. An ethereal and ethereal. A juxtaposition of foreground and background, a space of multiplicity. A Zen and philosophy of how one acts in the environment, not how one affects the environment.

In the last thirty minutes, people can see the sublimation realm that is speechless!
