Letterboxd Review by Voc_17 ★★★½
Chu Yen-Ping was Taiwan’s factory comedy filmmaker, he shat out films quickly with an extreme tonal whiplash between scenes of broad comedy, action and pathos, he is a junk food artist and it’s hard to make a case for him as being an effective filmmaker dramatically. However, I’m going to try and make a case for this film and by extension him because I kind of liked this movie a decent amount. Hsu Pu-Liao was a popular stage comic who Chu wanted to place within a Chaplin type narrative, although whole Chaplin’s tramp was very poor he was never as downright miserable as Hsu is in this. The film will go especially early on from a broad but amusing comic setpiece to the stronger dose of pathos possible within a single cut, it’s bizarre but after awhile I felt it kind of working. The tone may drastically shift from scene to scene but the face of the lead stays the same and not to get too sentimental but that’s what happens in life, something light can be suddenly taken away by the darkest happenings. Chu kind of taps into something emotionally for once in his career, I like that there’s just a desperate sense of struggle to be happy as nothing goes right for lead and up entil almost the ending his smile feels forced. Hsu Pu-Liao is a very charming performer and while I would’ve liked to see him envoled in more comic set-pieces that really use film to their advantage, his stage bound set pieces in this are quite cool and he’s a great pantomime artist. His romance with a blind woman who he spends a great deal of the movie raising money for, while obviously lifted from Chaplin’s City Lights, I felt was quite tenderly potrayed and I like how this really feels from the gutter, no glamorous locations here. I’m not sure Chu intended the jarring tonal shifts here to work in the way they do, or if it was just a case of throwing everything into the pot, but they do create a picture of the extremes of life and with a charming lead actor, hey, it moved me. Also, considering that the two tones are semi effectively brought together in the bizarre yet strangly effective boxing sequence, maybe he does know what he’s doing after all.

The post Yen-Ping Chu – Shen Jing Dao yu Fei Tian Mao AKA Flying Dagger (1993) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

During the reign of Emperor Jia Jing of the Ming Dynasty, the evil court official Yan Song relies on the emperor favoritism towards him, becoming overbearing and domineering. An honest official Zhang Ying Long impeaches Yan Song w/ a “Ten Cimes Five Deceits” against him. But instead he gets flogged 30 times, and banished to a far off frontier Guizhou.

Zhang Ying Long’s remonstration won the hearts of the common people, on the day of his banishment thousands of people turned out to see him off. At the sight of this, Yan Sung knows that if he does not kill off Zhang Ying Long, he will be unable to deter other court officials. Thereupon, he arranges for assassins to kill Zhang Ying Long during the journey.

Guizhou, b/w the high mountain ridge lies a small relay station. Because this place is far off and also not deemed an important area by the government, therefore the relay station has become run-downed. The relay station is managed by two young people, one is named Shi Yi Pao, the other Bu De Liao, and also Zeng Wu Liao. Shi Yi Pao seems like a person who feels that he never gets enough sleep, and has a look of bewilderment on him everyday. Bu De Liao and Ceng Wu Liao both are diligent, but they are kind of stupid looking. These three people have already spent six useless years in this boring place.
