Once Upon a Time in China (DVD)
In one of the recurring gags of ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA, attempts to take Wong Fei Hung`s picture always fail. The failure to capture the image of Wong (Jet Li) serves as an appropriate metaphor for the place of the Ching Dynasty folk hero in Chinese cultural memory. A legendary master of a variety of kung fu styles, Wong has been subject to numerous interpretations in dime novels and films since the 1930s. In the late 1970s an irreverent portrait of the young Wong Fei Hung emerged in DRUNKEN MASTER. In director Tsui Hark`s hand, the beloved historical figure is given the full lionized treatment as he fights for dignity and self-determination against Western imperialists. A revisionist drama that recalls the struggle of the small-property owner fighting for her land in Sergio Leone`s ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, Hark`s epic is both a tragic and heroic examination of China`s transition to modernity. Like the best of Hark`s films (ZU: WARRIORS OF THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN), ONCE UPON A TIME contains imaginative fight sequences, including no-shadow kicks and a thrilling battle using bamboo ladders.NR"
