"New Dragon Inn" was filmed in 1992. Liang Jiahui, Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung in the popular period, and Donnie Yen, who just relied on a few action movies, is a kind of luxury in the eyes of the moment. Zhou Huai'an's resourcefulness, gold-inlaid jade's coquettishness and eloquence, Brigitte Lin's affection and sex, Cao Shaoqin's sinister viciousness, a distant turbulent time, a myth that never fades. . . . . .
"New Dragon's Inn" draws on the classic plots of many bosses in the plot part of the inn, and at the same time combines the characteristics of western films, and also makes its own treatment. Qiu Moyan and his party entered the inn, and then Jia Ting, Lu Xiaochuan, and Chang Yanxiao led their troops to arrive. The two factions were at a stalemate, and their swords were drawn. Jin Xiangyu's eloquent words eased the tension of the situation. Then Zhou Huaian appeared, and the hostile atmosphere between the two gangs escalated again. A small inn, gathered the ups and downs of Longmenguan, the blood and rain, and the drama conflict of the whole film reached its peak. Tsui Hark's scene scheduling, atmosphere creation, and rhythm control of several scenes in the inn can be said to be skillful and superb, and the actor's performance adds a lot to the whole plot. The scene of the fierce battle in the desert completely got rid of the hard bridge, hard horse and stereotyped fight of Hu Jinquan's version. The whole fight can be said to be a classic scene of martial arts films. Strengthen the tension of the battle, rolling yellow sand, bloody and angry horses, the life-and-death battle between loyal chivalrous warriors and traitors, hearty and happy.
There are only a few characters in "New Dragon Inn", and the movie scenes are only concentrated in the inn and the desert, but this does not affect it becoming a classic of new martial arts movies. The successful shaping of several characters has become a classic in the history of martial arts movies. The plot processing has also been compact, exciting, and advanced layer by layer. The consistent feelings of family and country conveyed by the film are also released with the advancement of the film's plot.
When it comes to "New Dragon Inn", it is inevitable to compare Tsui Hark's recent remake of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" based on "New Dragon Inn". "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" undoubtedly once again innovated the martial arts film in technology, making the martial arts film reach the perfection in terms of technical flow. However, the far-fetched plot of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", and the unprovoked addition of the plot of the treasure hunting adventure is nothing more than trying to make a breakthrough in the plot and enhance the viewability of the film, but it affects the fluency of the plot and the shaping of the characters. After watching "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", it is difficult to remember a character, and it is difficult to remember a classic scene. "New Dragon Gate Inn" was re-screened again. When Xiaodaohui remembered the music, when the names of Tsui Hark, Cheng Xiaodong, Li Huimin and Zhang Tan appeared on the screen, those old memories came back.
People say that in troubled times, don't complain about children's love, but in troubled times, children's love is deeper.
Cheers to this nameless age!
