Heroine: A touch of zen

Director Hu Jinquan, Xu Feng as the chivalrous girl. The film uses a lot of long shots to narrate the background to create the atmosphere. The actions and behaviors of the characters have a lot of stage tension, and the coordination of sound effects and light and shadow is also very atmospheric. It's a martial arts movie. Although it is a Hong Kong-made film in 1969/72, the dialogues of the characters are in Mandarin, and the words they say are quite modern. I don’t know if it was the influence of the south wind and the north gradually after the opening, or because the director was originally from the north, so the Beijing film was originally written. just fluent?
After the initial surprise, I felt that the rhythm of the film was still too slow, and the 3-hour upper and lower episodes were really a bit long. After starting a period of mystery, the chivalrous girl finally showed up. Then there are scholars who offer advice on how to win more with less in the ancient house. Naturally, there are many props. After that, the fight in the bamboo forest was finished in the small forest, the fight in the woods was finished in the bamboo forest, and the fight in the Gobi was finished in the woods. Of course, the technology and martial arts design 35 years ago are not as exciting as they are in modern times, but they are indeed the foundational works of martial arts films. The natural scenery is beautiful, and martial arts films of various elements can be used for reference in later generations.
After watching martial arts films for so many years, I think it is still very interesting.
Tsui Hark's Xiaoao Jianghu, Xinlongmen Inn, the martial arts design is elegant and surprising, and the plot develops relatively fast, I like it very much.
Jackie Chan's self-contained style is more funny from the action.
As for martial arts like the White-haired Witch, they take a back seat, mainly because they are interfering, relying on the charisma of the leading actors.
Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the introduction of martial arts films to the mainstream Western media. Essentially, it's drama driven.
In fact, I really like Zhang Yimou's hero. The scene design is quite imaginative, and I also like the story structure. The Ambush and Golden Armor in the back are getting worse and worse.
Zhou Xingxing's Shaolin football and kung fu are still imaginative, and kung fu is more funny.
The banquet is to turn the main drama into a comedy, forget it.

The old film also wants to watch a butterfly change. I also knew it when I watched the introduction of the movie before, and I don’t know if there is any on netflix.
