Being squeezed out of commercial value may be the life that many movies cannot escape. So there is a strange thing that goes up and down again and again and again and again and again and again. I have to say that in my eyes, the two Hong Kong films "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are both related to Mr. Xu. Some people say that watching this movie should not be compared with "The Color of Heroes", but the name is somewhat similar. But I think that if you want to tie up a heroic express train and eat a bowl of hot rice, you will have to suffer from food poisoning and loose pants. Tsui Hark's anger is too heavy, but his jianghu is traditional and disciplined, and every move and every style is well-founded. Although people occasionally have unrighteousness, there is always a bottom line. In the heroic world, the rules are used to destroy, so that "reasonable" conflicts can break out. In Woo Yusen's violent world, although in the second part, because of the resurrection of little Mark in disguise, the breaking point is a few percent weaker, but the "emotion" has not changed after all. In the hands of Tsui Hark, the love of the children of the rivers and lakes was moved to the background of the Vietnam War. Not only did he fail to explain the love in this troubled world, but instead turned a bloody story into a broken shoe story of "a female bodhisattva saving a little monk". Moreover, even if the character of little Mark is changed, and the first half of the title is removed, it may not be a masterpiece. With Zhuyu in front, Old Monster Xu was under too much pressure. The biggest contribution of this sequel movie is to leave behind a great masterpiece in the Hong Kong music scene.
