What kind of movie-watching experience did "The Gorgeous Office Worker" bring you?

"Gorgeous Office Worker" is a movie full of associations that can span a lot of time and space. In the era of major American film studios, all filming took place in studios. Nowadays, it seems a bit unrealistic in a closed environment, but it matches the slightly stage-like and artistic performances of old movies. Pure setting is probably not feasible today, because the performance method tends to be naturalized and the dramatic flavor is no longer so strong. If it is placed on a "stage" with sophisticated lighting and no view of the sky, it will inevitably lose credibility. Perhaps there is only one exception to this genre, and that is musicals. Musicals are an anomaly in the Chinese film industry. Although the master of martial arts films, Chang Cheh, and the great master of Jianghu films, John Woo, all admitted that they drew inspiration for action design from Western musicals, adding the aesthetic attributes of elegant posture to pure violent martial arts and gun battles. However, excluding the Huangmei Opera movies that were all the rage in Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s, there are only a handful of Chinese musicals in the true sense. Directors who make musicals are either particularly fond of them, or they are extremely fearless. So I have to praise Lao Du. This famous Hong Kong director, who is well-known for his unique style of gangsters and gunfights, is also one of the most famous all-rounders in the Chinese film industry. He is involved in comedy, martial arts, literature, romance, magic, science fiction, etc. When it comes to making movies, he shows an insatiable creative drive. With his current status in the film industry, he can, in this impetuous market, follow the steps like most directors and shoot something that is good at it and has been recognized by the market. But he is still full of courage and keeps trying new genres. This Napoleon in the film industry has never changed his original intention even if he has encountered Waterloo several times. What's even more gratifying is that he is not like many of the previous generation directors from mainland China and Hong Kong, whose creativity has withered and made films that are derailed by the aesthetics of the era. Through several of his recent works, we can still see his saturated talent.
