English name：Swordsmen Broadcast time：July 4, 2011 Starring：甄子丹（Donnie Yen）、金城武（Takeshi Kaneshiro）、汤唯（Tang Wei）、李小冉 director：陈可辛（Peter Chan） Introduction Today let's take a brief introduction of a famous Chinese movie named "Wu Xia".The film Wu Xia is a kung fu movie in terms of genre, yet it includes other elements like suspense, romance, violence, etc. While trying to tackle some thought-provoking themes in the film, Director Peter Chan also employs quite a few fashion elements closer to the taste of modern moviegoers, so Wu Xia has a distinctive style of its own, at least from the appearance. The veteran Hong Kong director fulfils his long-cherished hope on the big screen – restoring the living conditions of the ancient people: how they ate and worked, the adulthood ceremony, adding an adult into the pedigree, and even the ancient condom, all of which Peter Chan zealously explores in detail. The director discards the impressionistic style of imagination, and unfolds the pictures of the agrarian society in the early twentieth century with a simple and unsophisticated way. According to Peter Chan, the first half of the movie was inspired by Dr. House, which brings about suspense and scientific explanation of fundamentals of martial arts. The two scenes, Donnie Yen fighting with two thugs…

English name：Enter The Dragon Broadcast time：July 26, 1973 Starring：李小龙（Bruce Lee）、John Saxon、Jim Kelly、茅瑛（Angela Mao Ying）、Ahna Capri、石坚（Shih Kien） director：Robert Clouse Introduction Today, we are going to talk about a film which is theatrical released in August 19, 1973.It is the last film completed by Bruce Lee (李小龙Lǐ Xiǎolóng) before his untimely death(英年早逝yīngniánzǎoshì), Enter the Dragon (龙争虎斗lóngzhēng-hǔdòu) was his entrée into Hollywood.

Lee spends his days taking on tournament combatants and nights breaking into the heavily guarded underground fortress, kicking the living tar out of anyone who stands in his way. The mix of kung fu fighting (choreographed by Lee himself) and James Bond intrigue (the plot has more than a passing resemblance to Dr. No) is pulpy by any standard, but the generous budget and talented cast of world-class martial artists puts this film in a category well above Lee's primitive Hong Kong productions.
