Although many works are now developing towards the theme of the big heroine, but looking at the works in recent years, there are not many works that can really be regarded as the big heroine, and few heroines can really rely on their own strength to break out of the world.
In contrast, the old Hong Kong films of the last century, although it seems that the production is relatively rough now, each heroine has its own distinctive characteristics.
The "Angel in Blood" today is such a work, although this Hong Kong film broadcast in 1988 only had a rating of 6.0, but the combination of Guan Zhilin and Xia Wenxi was already at the level of a goddess at that time.
The reason why the score of this film is not high is on the one hand because there are too few audiences to understand, and on the other hand, many viewers cannot accept the large scale of the film.
The main characters of "Angel in Blood" are two women, Guan Zhilin plays Juanjuan is a kind nurse, but she was brutally raped by gangsters on the way home from the night shift one day, and the only person who witnessed all this tragedy was the taxi driver Qiang Brother.
It is worth mentioning that Brother Qiang is played by the famous director Er Dongsheng, and his performance is also a more eye-catching part of the whole film.
The villain played by Tang Zhenye is even more hateful, and his role of playing this kind of "dressed animal" is simply a must.
After being raped, Juanjuan did not call the police for the sake of her reputation. However, Juanjuan's kindness did not bring her good luck, and soon after Juanjuan met the gangsters again in the hospital, and she did not choose to be patient this time.
Two gangsters were counterattacked by Juanjuan, one gangster was killed directly, and Juanjuan was arrested by the police.
The reason why "Angel in Blood" can be praised by many audiences is on the one hand because of the tragic plot of the work itself, on the other hand, the cool style of Juanjuan, the character who dares to love and hate.
Under the testimony of Brother Qiang, Juanjuan was acquitted, if the story ends here it is not bad, but Li Zhiyi, the director, did not let go of the two heroines.
After Juanjuan was acquitted, she ushered in an even more tragic fate, and the brother of the slain gangster was a black boss, who, no matter how hateful his brother was, sent his men to take revenge on Juanjuan.
At this time, even Ah Wen, who helped Juanjuan to speak out, did not escape the tragedy of being raped, and in the face of the endless revenge of the wicked, Juanjuan transformed into an avenger in hatred.
In my opinion, "Angel in Blood" can be regarded as a relatively good Hong Kong film, and as the audience who knows this work gradually increases, the rating of this film should also rise to a reasonable range.
Purely from the perspective of the work itself, the female role of Juanjuan is one of the few classics in domestic film and television works, and we can rarely see such a brave and tragic female image.
From the kind and gentle female nurse at the beginning to the unscrupulous avenger in the back, the image of Juanjuan has become three-dimensional in the hearts of the audience.
After feeling the helplessness of the plot, every audience will be moved by Juanjuan's fierce means, after all, in the hearts of most viewers, the plot of countering violence with violence is often the factor that can excite them the most.
On the whole, although the film "Angel in Blood" is old, the story has rarely been able to shoot a two-tenth of the essence until now, and many audiences have watched this film mostly for the three-minute plot that has been deleted. The uncut version of the film is 91 minutes, and the deleted version is 88 minutes, deleting the three-minute scene of Guan Zhilin and Xia Wenxi.
Admittedly, this is also the most controversial part of the film, but even if the three-minute clip is now deleted, the rest of the plot does not affect the audience's experience.
