If you ask what kind of film in the world of cinema has its own conflicting elements that filmmakers love, Rongsi thinks that it must be a twin movie. This type of film tends to be comedy, and most of them lead to a series of hilarious plots that make people laugh through the plot of twins swapping identities.

One of the earliest twin movies was the 1998 film "Born a Couple" that set child star Lindsay Rohan on fire. Although the film is a remake of an old work from 1961, it is much more famous than it.

The stunning performance of child star Lindsay Rohan in this movie in two roles really surprised Rongsi, and the supporting roles were also movie stars such as Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson. The story of "Born a Couple" is about two little girls who learn that they are twins by chance, and their parents are separated because of a misunderstanding before they remember. In addition to the surprise, the two little girls had the idea of dressing up as each other and getting along with their unmasked parents. Through a period of life, they figured out the reasons for their parents' breakup and also understood their respective life situations. It turned out that their parents met on a sailing trip and married on the Elizabeth II, but later due to some misunderstanding, their marriage broke up, and the two sisters went their separate ways. So the clever girls began to find ways to eliminate external interference and match their parents. The process is warm and funny, and the ending is happy and happy.

Rongsi believes that the most representative of Jackie Chan's "Double Dragon Society" (1992) is the most famous twin films in China, which was born in the Goldman Sachs period of Hong Kong films, which can be regarded as a model of commercial films, and the use of various commercial elements in the film reflects the achievements of that generation of Hong Kong filmmakers in commercial films. The storyline is vulgar but not bad, the suspense climax is dense but not chaotic, and the ingenuity of the film creators can be seen from the scheduling and integration of seemingly chaotic entertainment elements in the film.

Based on the plot of the twins swapping roles, the film makes full use of Jackie Chan's kung fu characteristics, and creates this interesting twin movie in the hands of director Xu Ke. It is about a pair of twin brothers who are separated at birth, two who grow up in families of different classes, one grows up to become a famous musician, and the other becomes a small who wanders at the bottom of society all day long. The two met and swapped identities at a concert in Hong Kong by chance, triggering a hilarious encounter and a dramatic change in their lives.

In particular, what makes RongSi call the stroke of God is that the plot in which Jackie Chan, who can fight, must take the place of Jackie Chan, who can make music, to direct the orchestra, and to swing one martial art action into a symphony in the band, without drama, quite wonderful. In addition, there are many conflicts caused by the exchange of identities between twin brothers in the film, which are praised one after another.
