gurei menulis:Ini adalah salah satu "cameo" dari MBS nya Gu Long. Bintangnya antara lain Michelle Yeoh, Jimmy Lin, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Joey Wang, Donnie Yen. Intriknya dan tipu2nya masih bolehlah. Tapi tipu2 yang paling konyol adalah endingnya: Adalah salah satu tokoh jagoannya punya jurus kungfu "footbal". Jadi senjatanya ya bola karet yang ditendang-tendang buat menyerang. Setelah bertarung sekain puluh jurus, si jago kungfu bola menendang bolanya yang langsung disundul sang penjahat. Surprise! Ternyata itu bukan bola karet melainkan bola besi! Pecahlah kepala si penjahat Walau memasang Michelle Yeoh sebagai salah satu bintangnya (sebagai "sister Ko" alias Kakak Gao yang coba merebut Meng Xin Hun dari si Butterfly), sebagai sebuah film buat saya: payah! Cerita ini dimulai ketikai Meng Xin Hun/Meng Sing Wan dan HuDie/Butterfly sudah menjadi suami istri, tinggal di tepi sungai. * Ini ringkasannya: Butterfly (Joey Wong) has nothing to do with the martial arts world. Her father was once a renowned member of the martial arts world, but she is just another young girl deeply in love with Meng Sing Wan/Meng Xin Hun (Tony Leung). They live happily in a small hut next to a river, where he spends time trying to catch fish, and writing poetry. From time to time, Meng has to go away on business to earn money, that's what he tells her anyway, but the horrifying truth is that he is an assassin. He is a member of the Happy Forest, a group of assassins lead by Sister Ko/Kakak Gao (Yeoh), but he is tired of the never-ending life of killing for a living. Yip/Ye Xiang (Donnie Yen) is another member of the group, and is Meng's best friend. The both of them, along with Sister Ko, and a girl called Ho Ching (sampai dengan bab 32 karakter ini belum muncul, baru tampil di episode-3 sebagai anak angkat Gao Lao Da,) grew up together, forming the best of Happy Forest. Yip is in love with Sister Ko, but is afraid to tell her. However, Ko only has eyes for Meng, but Meng regards her only as an older sister. Ko is given a mission by the Grand Eunuch Tsao, who instructs her to steal a letter from the hands of Master Suen/Sun Yu Bo (Tsui) from the Elites Villa sect, who was given to him by Grand Eunuch Li, Tsao's adversary in court. Ko tells Meng to fake his own death, then enter Suen's service as a lone swordsman. Meng does this and more. He impresses Suen with his skills and soon has his trust. At this time however, he encounters Suen's girl, who looks remarkably like the Ho Ching that once disappeared many years ago (sampai sini cerita makin nglantur). Suen sees Meng's interest in his woman, and so, gives her to him. But on the night of the wedding, Ho Ching tries to steal the message, but fail and dies. Meng is devastated by her death, and he goes back to Happy Forest, confronting Ko as to why he wasn't told that Ho Ching was alive all this time, and was being an undercover. Ko is upset by Meng's outburst, only wanting what is best for all of them. Ko and Yip forces into Suen's Elites Villa, and with Meng already inside, they are able to defeat Suen and take the message. When Ko and Meng deliver the message to Eunuch Tsao, it is revealed that Eunuch Li is really Eunuch Tsao, and that he hatched up the plan to destroy the people of the martial arts world. In the end, Tsao is defeated by the teamwork of Ko, Meng, and a young prince (Jimmy Lin, yang bersenjata bola sepak huahahaha!). * Saya masih lebih suka versi yang dimainkan Adam Cheng, Allen Ting, Norman Tsui walau di sini dikisahkan ada 2 cewek yang deket sama Meng, membuat penonton bertanya2 dengan siapa Meng akan kawin. Reviewnya ada di Indozone: klik di sini! * Maka, begitulah, MBS sebagai novel "best seller" pada masanya telah melahirkan banyak turunan dan versi pengembangan yang berbeda dari buku aslinya. Salah satunya adalah Killer Clans sebagai MBS versi Shaw Brothers. Tapi film ini tetap punya interpretasi sendiri: kisah justeru bermula dari ditemukannya sebuah buku puisi berisi kupu-kupu. Film ini pada masanya menjadi Top Box Officenya SB. * Berbagai versi yang muncul itu mendorong saya mengangkat versi lengkap MBS di Indozone ini karena belakangan saya sadar banyak penggemar cersil yang menonton film tapi belum membaca bukunya. Hanya saja MBS saya tulis ulang dengan alasan sebagaimana sudah saya posting di thread ini sebelumnya. Walau ditulis ulang, sedapat mungkin saya tetap mempertahankan keaslian "roh"-nya. Ibarat berlian, bagi saya, MBS asli sudah bersinar. Hanya saja agar lebih bersinar masih perlu "digosok" sekali lagi. Maka saya memberanikan diri mencoba menggosoknya sekali lagi. Saat menggosok itu, tetap ada resiko: mungkin tambah bersinar atau malah hancur! Semua penilaian saya berikan pada Anda, pembaca Indozone. Sodjah, |
