All the heroes in the world appear in our generation. As soon as I entered the Jianghu, I felt that the years passed quickly. The great cause of dominating rivers and lakes is to talk and laugh, so it is better to get drunk.

Swordsman 2: Dong Fangbubai is adapted from the novel the legendary swordsman edited by Jin Yong. In the process of adaptation, Tsui Hark turned Dong Fangbubai, a supporting role with only four pages in the original book, into the protagonist of the film.
Because "the legendary swordsman II: Dong Fangbubai" is related to Hu Jinquan's 1990 version of the legendary swordsman, the understanding of Jianghu and chivalry in the film "the legendary swordsman" is also preserved in the film.

Appreciation of works:
Swordsman 2: Dong Fangbubai is a beautiful film. Martial arts design adds aesthetic and romantic elements on the basis of realism, and the artistic conception of Jin Yong's original works is beautifully portrayed. The film abandons the stylized martial arts action design in traditional martial arts films, and the lens angle is changeable. The use of quick editing makes every movement in the film show a sense of rhythm in motion.
There are many classic action designs in the film. For example, when Ling Huchong rehearsed "Nine Swords of Dugu", people echoed the sword from a distance, which fascinated the audience. In the film, Brigitte Lin's Dong Fangbubai style is in harmony with Japanese national costumes, which not only has great oriental charm, but also becomes a representative classic figure in martial arts films.
In addition, A Journey to the Rivers and Lakes adds a lot to the film with its magnificent painting style. In the laughter of the emperor, it is impossible to lead a drunken life. "
