Bodyguards and assassins tells the story of a group of revolutionary volunteers, businessmen, beggars, coachmen, students and gamblers. People who fought for the protection of Sun Yat-sen from all directions during the period of 1906+00 and 15 in Central Hong Kong under the double pressure of the Qing government and the British government. The film was released on February 65438+ in 2009.
What is commendable about bodyguards and assassins is the organic combination of genre and literary quality, which has a sense of life. The flavor of the times, the people's feelings on the street and the details are all close to the people of Hong Kong at that time on Hong Kong Island.
Hong Kong people may not understand metaphysical revolutionary beliefs. In their view, it is definitely not enough for a nobody, a peddler and a pawn in troubled times to protect a strange revolutionary with his life.
Therefore, when creating, they found a reasonable motivation for each role from the secular. Compared with some main melody movies, their motives are more credible and grounded, and their sacrifices are more touching.
