Tsui Hark's New Dragon Inn

Over the years, Dragon Gate Inn is still a classic film I regard as a classic. Tsui Hark has long since lost sight of it. The content of the filming has become less and less, and the characters have become less and less personal. It’s a pity that Dragon Gate Inn is not a big place, so it’s limited. The space for two or three days, the story of less than ten people can be so intense, so emotional, which works can surpass it?

At the end of Ming Dynasty, Zhou Huai'an hated the darkness of the official party in the imperial court, and was implicated by Yang Lianting's death. He could have walked away, but he sacrificed himself to save the safety of the old man's son. Liang Jiahui's acting skills were simply superb. In addition to 'black gold', this film is the most representative of its acting skills and style. Zhou Huai'an's boldness, deep affection, and shrewdness can be read in Liang's eyes. After countless martial arts blockbusters, which actor and character can reach this point ? In fact, there is no need for Maggie Cheung and Brigitte Lin, no matter which actor in this film fully interprets his role, loyal and wicked, good and evil, old and sly, a few words, a few actions, the characters are vividly reflected. Does a good man have to shout the words of justice? No, because the chivalrous warrior who has fought through thousands of battles sees his lover walking forward with a slight smile, which is more of a kind of gratification. So the sly person must have a fierce light in his eyes? No need at all, because the insidious eunuchs of the East Factory are really doing both hard and soft, just to accomplish their goals. The righteous and the evil are so real that the audience only thinks that they are all ruthless characters! Can the play be good?

"Looking at the sword while drunk, dreaming back to the horn company" accompanied by the sound of the piano, the wind and rain outside, Qiu Muyun snuggled up to Zhou Huai'an, as if it really brought me back to the last years of the Ming Dynasty, they didn't seem to be acting, There is no need to explain the plot, the audience has already been so invested, and I sigh why Tsui Hark has lost the ability to portray such characters after many years.

The new Dragon Gate Inn has won Tsui Hark fame, but it is a pity that Tsui Hark has become increasingly decadent in the future.
