This film is indeed a classic model of Hong Kong martial arts films. Happy rivers and lakes, love and hatred. The story of a group of knights saving two children. The Dragon Inn is designed as a black shop, and the coquettish proprietress who loves money and martial arts is all modeled after the Water Margin. The biggest highlight of the whole drama is the love triangle between Jin Xiangyu, Zhou Huaian and Qiu Moyan. To tell the truth, what kind of man is not interested in the charming boss lady? And the other is a woman who has been in love with each other for a long time. Men have the most difficult choice when faced with such a situation. Reminds me of the love triangle in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Fortunately, since all three of the audience like this love triangle, most of them end up dying one as the perfect ending. Qiu Moyan or Jin Xiangyu can only be successful if one of them dies. But in the end Qiu Moyan's spirit of sacrifice for love is really heartbreaking.
The three main characters are really well done. Especially the roles created by Maggie Cheung and Brigitte Lin have become classics. A charming lady boss, living a life of killing people and stealing goods, mixed in black and white. Without Wang Fa discipline, as long as she arrives at her Dragon Gate Inn, she has the final say. She loves money, but even more affection. So she will kill Dongchang lackeys at all cost for her dead subordinates, so she will fight side by side with Qiu Moyan. In the chaotic place of Dragon Inn, a woman needs to survive. Because she was accustomed to seeing men's indifference and the hypocrisy of Jianghu, so she used indulgence to cover herself up and live a casual and unrestrained life. But this man happened to show up. In this life, a woman can be invincible in the world, but only in front of a certain person, she has no resistance. Wholeheartedly delivered, even if he didn't accept it. There are men who look at her with gold inlaid jade, and she is naked in front of her eyes. Therefore, most handsome and gentleman men can impress girls. However, it is unknown whether the matter of marrying Jin Xiangyu was a fake by Zhou Huaian. When the fake is real, it is also fake, and Zhou Huai'an is not necessarily a real gentleman. What impresses me most about Brigitte Lin? Handsome menswear. So far, Brigitte Lin is the most handsome and aura of women I have ever seen wearing men's clothing. In the Dragon Gate Inn, when she saw Zhou Huai'an's appearance, it was really Mr. Pian Pian Jia. And this kind of handsomeness can't be shown by a real man. It happened that she only had the taste of a woman dressed as a man. The same is true of her most classic Oriental Invincibility, a natural heroic spirit. Qiu Moyan is a chivalrous and infatuated girl, her actions are out of love, for Zhou Huaian. But the aura of the rivers and lakes in her bones made her protect the two children without hesitation even when she saw Zhou Huai'an and other people's bridal chambers being heartbroken. Her affection is really a model for the children of all corners of the world.
To be honest, the films of Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong became eternal classics in the 1980s and 1990s. Now the old monster Xu is not good, there are many things missing, not only the old monster Xu, but also the current martial arts films. There is no such taste. I don’t know if there are no good actors or directors. They have been changed by our society and times.
