What are the unpopular martial arts films that are beautiful and out of date today?

Ashes of Time is the pinnacle of Asian movies. In this film, Wong Kar-wai subverts the traditional martial arts films, separates the characters from the plot, and tells the different processes of the story from different angles.

Men in Huang Feihong should be self-reliant.

Director: Tsui Hark

Starring: Jet Li, Rosamund Kwan, Donnie Yen, Mo Shaocong and Zhang Tie-Lin.

It is not easy for the director to talk about this serious theme in the way of historical romance films and martial arts films, but it still makes the film look glamorous. Moreover, indulging in integrating history into illusory personal legends has led to an absurd result, and the effect is not even as real as the first episode. However, Tsui Hark is not without substance. Tsui Hark has his own clear views on western scientific and technological civilization and eastern traditional civilization. In the film, it is reflected in the paragraphs of Huang Feihong and Sun Yat-sen at the medical conference. Although these views have never been seen before, at least he comes from Tsui Hark's personal experience in this unique region of Hong Kong.

Jairo (name); Hero (movie name)

Director: Zhang Yimou

Starring: Jet Li, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Chen.

Hero is an important symbol of director Zhang Yimou's artistic transformation in the face of film globalization and commercialization. Stars gather, the scene is grand, the picture is exquisite, and the martial arts design is freehand, which combines the traditional artistic conception of China with the violent aesthetic modeling of action movies, creating a new round of box office myth and film industrialization model of Chinese mainland movies. Maybe it wasn't like this in China in the third century BC, but it wasn't a movie about the plot. This is a movie about action, color and music. Few movies in any country can control the above three things so well.

A Touch of Zen

Directed by Hu Jinquan.

Starring: Feng Hsu, White Eagle and Roy Chiao.

Woman Xia is a perfect combination of martial arts theme, opera aesthetics and oriental thinking. The character setting and action design of the film all follow the routine of traditional Peking Opera. Hu Jinquan is not the first director who borrows elements of traditional Chinese opera in his films, but he is the first and only director who integrates the programs and systems of the traditional stage in China into the image expression. Feng Hsu, the heroine, swooped down from the bamboo tip in the movie, which can be regarded as excellent stunt design and lens editing in martial arts movies, and even influenced Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and House of Flying Daggers.

ambush on all sides

Director: Zhang Yimou

Starring: Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Zhang Ziyi.

House of flying daggers shows the consistent style of Zhang Yimou's films. Most of the location of the whole movie was shot in the forest. Because there are a lot of action scenes to shoot, it is impossible to choose dense forests or bamboo forests. Therefore, on the one hand, the photographer uses a suitable optical lens to express the density of the forest, on the other hand, he uses a long focal length lens to follow the characters, which greatly compresses the space, so what is presented on the screen is a picture with a strong sense of speed seen by the audience.
