Romance 1994

This film belongs to the first echelon of Jet Li films in my opinion. The action is really not enough to be a hero of martial arts, Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng, Fang Shiyu are so wonderful, but the literary drama has its own unique charm, and Jet Li's masculine temperament is fully revealed. In Hong Kong movies, this kind of emotional drama is still very romantic, full of regrets, but has endless aftertastes. Except for Zhongnanhai bodyguards, I just want to get a secret war. "Don't Avoid My Eyes", composed by Master Hu Weili, is a perfect match for this film. When the shutters are slowly falling, the ambiguous atmosphere is extremely high, and it is very fascinating. Unexpectedly, the camera suddenly turns, and the male protagonist turns to close the door and leave. In this situation, with the wonderful background music, the old adage that uttering love is more than courtesy has been shown in the most romantic way on the big screen so far.
