The film New Longmen Inn is definitely a classic. It is also the appearance of this work that makes Tsui Hark, as a producer, always exist as a great god in the hearts of brothers, because this film has a strong "Tsui Hark style". Judging this work from an audience's point of view, Brother Gang thinks it is almost perfect.
There are many factors that make Xinlongmen Inn a classic. First of all, the first point lies in the director's cast for the film. This film, which is joined by many powerful stars such as Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Donnie Yen, has won the star's influence first.
In particular, the pictures of two heavyweight goddesses, Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung, fighting with each other in the same box are not very eye-catching. Even if we look at them again more than 2 years later, we will still find them really beautiful.
Secondly, every actor's cracked acting skills are also the factors that make this classic movie. There is no denying that the performance of every master in the film is very wonderful. Although Brigitte Lin plays "Qiu Mo Yan" as a woman, he is still heroic and gentle, while Maggie Cheung plays "Jin Xiang Yu" as an innkeeper, although it is exquisite in all aspects, it also has a spoony and chivalrous side.
Compared with Tony Leung Ka Fai's role of "Zhou Huai 'an", Brother Gang was most impressed by Donnie Yen's role of "Cao Shaoqing", the villain of the East Factory. Although Donnie Yen has some controversies on the Internet in recent years, I deeply admire his acting skills.
In addition to the actor, another important factor in the success of this film lies in the shooting of the whole work and the control and design of many details. Although most of the plots in the film revolve around the location of "Longmen Inn", the director's clever design will not make the audience feel bored. Even on the day of Zhou Huai 'an and Jin Xiang Yu Dong Fang, the inn was specially decorated.
However, Brother Gang thinks that the most wonderful part of the whole movie is the drama part in which Huai 'an, Qiu Moyan and Jin Xiangyu fight Cao Shaoqing in the desert in the last week. Several leading actors put the play in place with the loess in the desert, which really brought a different feeling to the whole picture. In particular, the detail that Cao Shaoqing was cut off from his arms and legs by the "unruly encounter" that came later was simply unexpected, and at the same time it could bring a little pleasure to the audience.
At last, Cao Shaoqing died, and the death of Qiu Moyan made many viewers feel sorry. The ending is somewhat sad, but this does not affect the fact that Xinlongmen Inn has become a masterpiece with a good reputation, and it is also a classic that is difficult to surpass in martial arts movies.
