Once upon a time, Hong Kong movies gave us so many surprises and laughs. The three Hui brothers can be said to be the founding fathers of Hong Kong comedy films, and Chow Sing Chi's previous comedy films were their world. The movie I want to recommend today is the classic "Modern Bodyguard" by the three Xu brothers.
"Modern Bodyguard" was released in 1981, a joyful comedy film written and directed by Xu Guanwen. I have to say that Xu Guanwen is really too talented, and can be called the king of the first generation of comedy. Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanying, and Xu Guanjie are all a generation of heroes, plus the second brother Xu Guanwu (mainly behind the scenes), and called Xu Shi sijie.
"Modern Bodyguard" takes the bodyguard as the theme, which is also very unpopular now, so it is very special in many movie themes. Although it is very unpopular, it does not affect its classic degree in the hearts of the audience. The movie mainly revolves around the story of the captain of the bodyguard and several of his subordinates, the storyline is very humorous and funny, watching this movie can always make people feel relaxed and happy. If you're not happy, check out this movie, maybe there's a surprise!
"Modern Bodyguard" is a comedy movie that I personally like to watch very much, often take it out to revisit it, compared to Stephen Chow's nonsense comedy style, the comedy movies of the three Xu brothers make people feel more grounded, more ordinary, nevertheless, but it can also make people feel laughed from time to time, which is really rare. Being able to make people feel relaxed and joyful, and being able to forget their troubles for a short time, I think this is something that a lot of art can't do, and by virtue of this, comedians are much greater than other actors.
Xu Guanwen also won the Best Actor Award at the first Academy Awards for his outstanding performance in "Modern Bodyguard". The three Xu brothers have dedicated too many classic comedy movies before Zhou Xingchi, bringing us a lot of joy, and now That Xu Guanying is dead, Xu Guanwen Xu Guanjie is also too old, and the filmmakers who once brought us countless laughs are now white, it is really the years that are a pig killing knife, who has the heavens spared! If you like to watch Hong Kong comedy movies, highly recommend this movie, you will find the New World, the eternal classics of the three Hui brothers, the Slovak people are old, but the classics are not old. Once again, I sincerely hope that Chinese comedy films can create brilliant achievements and continue the classics.
