Post-85s Watching Hong Kong Movies

I don't know why I missed this film, maybe I went to catch loach, dredged loach, and fished some. As a post-85s generation is in line with the era of Hong Kong movies, I only watched this film in 19 years and found it really good. After watching so many dazzling and messy movies, I found that the original relaxed plot is the only way to stay true to the original intention. It is light-hearted and humorous. The director Yuan Kui was born in action, so he should have more martial arts. It's a handsome film about fighting and killing Jet Li. I didn't expect it to be simple and not simple. There are still a lot of things to consider. There are so many critics here, so I won't say much. The open ending is also very interesting, not like a prince and a princess. The cliché of being happy together. The movie of 1994, the three-year countdown to the return, the mainland and Hong Kong, the central and local, and different cultural environments are all very peculiar elements of existence in this film.
