What is the future of martial arts films?

Hu Jinquan's films are poetic in landscape, rhythm and meditation, and he is a master who has written swords, lights, swords and shadows into Chinese classical culture. Martial arts are more than martial arts, and gangsters are more than gangsters. Personally, I like the style of such movies. How high is the evaluation of Hu Jinquan, it just shows how few Chinese martial arts movies, including Shaw Brothers' masterpieces, are actually. Japan has a series of swords and halberds that shine in the galaxy. It has existed as early as more than 60 years ago. How can we lose the martial arts dream of brushing clothes and walking the world with swords. Since it is anti-American imperialism, then don't get immersed in the fake handle of Hollywood spaceship plastic blockbuster every day. Today's Tsui Hark should not go astray. Our bones are the bones of the East, and we should have our own. Charming films, the future martial arts film series is our cultural output.

    A continuous action of disassembling, using several fragments to construct an overall action-sense editing. An unconventional way to pave the way for suspense. A Chinese landscape painting style composition, the vast space is infinitely extended under the spreading of roll = scroll. A kind of ethereal and elegant. A juxtaposition of front and back scenes, a space of multiplicity. A Zen and philosophy of how people act in the environment, not how people affect the environment.

A Touch of Zen quotes

  • Ku Shen Chai: Have you seen Miss Yang, the lady who lives here?

    General Shih Wen-chiao: No, I'm blind.

    Ku Shen Chai: Forgive me.

    General Shih Wen-chiao: Miss Yang and her mother are gone.

    Ku Shen Chai: She said you should run for your life too. Do you know where she went?

    General Shih Wen-chiao: No.

    Ku Shen Chai: I have to find her!

    [Shih pulls out a sword as two soldiers fly down from the sky and attack, but are quickly killed in a few brief strokes of the sword]

    Ku Shen Chai: Mr. Shih, Mr. Shih, who are you really?

    General Shih Wen-chiao: I'm not blind, that's for sure.
