I think the movie "A Big Tree Breathes the Wind" has another name called "A Storm Is Coming and the Wind Fills the House". To be honest, I prefer the latter. "The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is all over the building" comes from "Xianyang City East Tower": "The clouds in the stream are just beginning to rise, and the sun sets in the pavilion, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is all over the building." It is a metaphor for the signs and atmosphere on the eve of a major change in the situation. It is now mostly used A metaphor for the tense atmosphere before a conflict or war breaks out. The whole film also talks about the word "wind" about "a big tree attracts the wind". There is only wind, no rain. The wind blows through Ji Zhengxiong's heart, Ye Guohuan's hair, and Zhuo Ziqiang's clothes, but it fails to blow. "Rain" comes after the three thieves unite. The real wind is the wind of the times and the wind of destiny in 1997.

Ji Zhengxiong, played by Lin Jiadong, has the most brilliant performance among the three. He is silent, mysterious and dark. He looks extremely quiet on the outside, but on the inside he is thoughtful and cruel. Under the guise of visiting his brother, he actually came to rob the gold shop across the street. He also used his brother's daughter to cover his transportation of arms. He wanted to kill the brother's family because his identity might be exposed, but he suffered the consequences for his lack of compassion. , woke up and found that he had been betrayed by his brothers and surrounded by special police. In reality, Ji Bingxiong himself was not arrested by the Hong Kong Special Duty Company until the end of 2003 and is now in Stanley Prison.

If the film ends here, there will be no ripples. The most successful part of the film is the final sublimation. At the end of the movie, it is revealed that the three thieves met in a restaurant called "Feng Man Lou". In the noisy restaurant, a busy waiter was among the three people. The accompanying scene was the midnight of Hong Kong's return. British officials evacuated Hong Kong, and Peng Yasi, the daughter of the last Hong Kong governor Patten, burst into tears. Accompanied by the music of "Let Everything Follow the Wind", everything came to an abrupt end at this moment.

The ending of the movie is hailed as a "magic touch", exaggerating all the historical heaviness and fatalistic sadness to the extreme. Finally, it is no exaggeration to say that "Tree Calls the Wind" is one of the best Hong Kong films in recent years.
