In terms of art, the small scenes are rich and substantial, but the large scenes are not wide enough, which makes people feel very suffocated. The color is full and comfortable.

In terms of photography, light and shadow break the stage sense brought by the limitations of art. Saved the film's many...

The story of "Chivalrous Girl" comes from "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai". The original work is only a few thousand words, and it was expanded by Hu Jinquan into a masterpiece of nearly three hours. The adaptation of the script should be said to be very successful: Hu Jinquan likes to read the...

In Hu Jinquan's films, traditional Chinese literature and art are indispensable, from the palace city to the house, from the landscape to the gods.     The strong culture is interesting, which is an important aspect that attracts me.     The first half is Yang Huizhen after Zhongliang, who was...

No matter how good the film's artistic and technical effects are, I still think that the rhythm of Master Hu's film is a bit slow. The opening shot is very immersive and very long. There are three main scenes in the whole film, "Abandoned Tun Fort", "Rocky Land", and "Bamboo Forest". "Abandoned Tun...

The day before yesterday, I watched "The Heroine". Yesterday was Nanook of the North. I thought it was a boring movie, not suitable for people in a room to watch together, but it unexpectedly attracted everyone. "The Heroine" is in color, I thought it was black and white. Strangers in the small...

A bunch of whores, what's so good about this movie?

The nearly three-hour movie is divided into upper and lower parts, that is, a movie is only less than an hour and a half.

Imagine, in the red sky in the 1960s and 1970s, the toiling public ended a day of hard work, stomped their teeth and stomped...

Director Hu's scene scheduling skills are definitely at the master's level. It's not simple at all, and the atmosphere is created very well. He is especially good at using triangular stress relationships, which can form visual tension well. The audience's point of view is ultimately the same...

I declare that Director Hu is really the first person in martial arts films! ! ! This is so wonderful and sophisticated! ! The length is long enough to bring meticulous and beautiful pictures, and the explanation of things is very clear, there is a feeling of reading! The use of short-focus lenses...

The battle of the bamboo forest in "Chivalrous Girl" created the bamboo forest fight scene in martial arts movies, and there was no computer technology at that time, but this scene was still exquisitely shot. No matter from the scene scheduling and lens use in the shooting stage or the editing in...

"Chivalry" is not only the pinnacle of martial arts movies, but also shows the charm of oriental movie aesthetics well, and interprets what is chivalry and the artistic conception of Zen Buddhism.

Inspired by Pu Songling's story of "The Chivalry" in "Strange Tales from a Studio," Hu Jinquan crafted...
