His movie is not about Zhao Zilong’s glorious deeds in Changbanpo, nor is it about the war story of the Three Kingdoms, but it is about Zhao Zilong and the historical background of the Three Kingdoms. The story of an ordinary person. Because when we watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the past, we all thought that Zhao Zilong was such a badass, that he killed so many fierce generals, and that he could fight with hundreds of thousands of troops without any pressure. Although this image is glamorous, it is a bit "mythical" because he himself He is an ordinary person, he also has emotions and desires, and he also has his own original ideals and so on. Therefore, the director is using his own understanding to try to restore all aspects of Zhao Zilong, a warrior, as an ordinary person. Of course, for this purpose, he changed many historical facts, such as the time and place when Zhao Zilong joined the army, whether he had children, and the person who died. The reasons and so on, but this does not affect the intention of the film itself. After all, this is a commercial film, not a historical documentary. At the end of the American movie "Troy", didn't Paris and Helen also kill Agamemnon and successfully escape from the city of Troy? Here is an explanation of Zhao Zilong in the movie (note that this is not the real Zhao Zilong in history). He was originally the same as Zhao Zilong. My good friend Sammo Hung was a young man living in a city during the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. Suddenly one day the famous Uncle Liu came and wanted to lead the poor to fight against the warlords and bandits and help the people live a peaceful life. The two brothers joined Liu Huangshu's army for this noble purpose. It also talks about Zhao Zilong's first love, the girl, who said to him before Zhao Zilong joined the army: "I will always wait for you." This is of course a promise that cannot be fulfilled. After Zhao Zilong went to war in the north and south, the girl didn't know what to do in the troubled times. Death is life. Later, when Zhao Zilong recalled the last moment, the scene of the girl appeared again. I don’t know what you think when you see this. I was quite moved when I saw this. This is a true portrayal of an ordinary person in troubled times. Many short-term loves have disappeared. In the chaos of war, we can only leave memories of our original intentions. Another touching point is that Uncle Liu Huang conferred the title of Five Tiger Generals. Then, decades later, Liu Chan showed no signs of being a gentleman when he molested a girl during the expedition. Four of the Five Tiger Generals also died, but there was no hope. The Northern Expedition must continue. This situation of changing things and people is very sad. The original ambitions may have been wiped out long ago, but even so, he still cannot quit and must maintain the situation of Shu Han. This kind of scene is generally only touched by older people who have experienced the peaks and valleys of life. It is also related to the fact that Hong Kong movies are no longer what they used to be and can only be maintained by the elderly leading a group of newcomers. Probably Andy is the one. Take a fancy to this place. These two points alone fully demonstrate the situation and mentality of Zhao Zilong as an ordinary person who struggles to survive in troubled times, whose destiny is pushed by the world, and who is more than willing to turn the tide but unable to turn the tide. No matter how powerful or mythical he is, he is still a human being after all. So I think this film still has some connotations, but the director only focused on talking about the philosophy of life, and other elements did not cooperate well, resulting in such a film with bad reviews.
