It seems like 15 years have passed since the first broadcast of The Legend of the Condor Heroes but the film’s popularity has never waned. No matter how many times viewers watch it, they never find The Legend of the Condor Heroes boring; instead, it brings back childhood memories with every rewatch. However, one thing that has certainly changed is the perception of the film’s special effects. Some scenes that once seemed so romantic now appear quite illogical upon rewatching. The scene below from The Legend of the Condor Heroes is a prime example.
During a martial arts training session in episode 34 of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Yang Guo (Huang Xiaoming) misses Little Dragon Girl (Liu Yifei) so much that he sees her image in his own tear.
Back in 2006, this scene moved anyone who watched it because of the feelings Yang Guo had for the woman he loved. 16 years of longing for Little Dragon Girl was indeed not easy for him. However, 15 years later, upon rewatching, the romance is nowhere to be found; all that remains is a ringing “awkward” sound echoing in the fans’ minds when they see this moment…
However, the beauty of Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei during the filming of The Legend of the Condor Heroes is something no one can deny.
Some other comments from the online community:
– I can’t describe his feelings at that moment. All I know is that every tear rolling down his cheeks clearly reflected the image of the person he loves the most… Oh, the logic of the 2000s, I refuse to understand…
– How much training does one need to reach this level of mastery?
– I thought it was special even back then.
– The tears are not fake at all.
