Film evaluation
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of the Green Ghost borrows the original character structure, and tries to link up China people's chivalrous feelings again after more than ten years, and immerse themselves in the original chivalrous world. However, a large number of action scenes in the film lack aesthetic feeling and are too direct. Killing with one sword is not what artistic chivalry pursues. This kind of chivalry is not obvious. Many things are said with the help of Yu Xiulian's narration, which is straightforward and has no lasting appeal. The film will have an inexplicable gothic dark wind, and even play fantasy for no reason, lacking some personalized character characteristics. No matter from the modeling or performance, it suddenly reminds people of those dark characters in Hollywood movies, but can't match the martial arts in the Oriental martial arts.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of the Green Ghost continues the context of the previous work. The story is simple and clear, and many "past events" in the original work no longer exist. The new story is monotonous, and it only uses fists and fists to compete with each other. The picture style of the film is also completely different from that of the previous work. Compared with the dazzling colors, the whole picture of this film is gloomy, and the costumes starring in it are basically black, white, gray and dark red. There is no conspiracy and no flirting. It only shows the meaning of martial arts and the beauty of martial arts, which is not bright but simple and vast. More than a dozen large and small martial arts dramas in the whole film are connected in series to form a Jianghu story of life entanglement and the birth of artifacts. There is no interference and it is played heartily.
