Tai istorija apie du kunfu meistrus: jis kilęs iš Pietų Kinijos, ji – iš šalies šiaurės. Ip Mano ir Gong Er keliai susikerta vyro gimtajame mieste Fošane japonų invazijos išvakarėse 1936 m. Kinijoje kyla sąmyšis, o pietinei šalies daliai gresia būti atskirtai nuo šiaurinės. Gong Er tėvas yra didysis kovos menų meistras. Jis taip pat atkeliauja į Fošaną. Mat legendiniame miesto viešnamyje „Auksinis paviljonas“ turi būti švenčiamas jo išėjimas į pensiją. Ši istorija apie išdavystę, išbandymą, garbę ir meilę vyksta chaotišku karo ir okupacijos laikotarpiu. Filmo nuotaika artima ankstesnei režisieriaus dramai apie kovos menus „Laiko pelenai“. Švysčiojantys kardai, kumščiai ir akrobatiški kūnai neatsiejami nuo vidinių herojų kovų. Jausmai virsta judesiais ir atvirkščiai – judesiai virsta emocijomis.

“Our modern technology has achieved a degree of sophistication beyond our wildest dreams. But this technology has exacted a pretty heavy price. We live in an age of anxiety, a time of stress. And with all our sophistication we are in fact, the victims of our own technological strength. We are the victims of shock … of future shock.” No, this isn’t a quote from a Huffington Post column on the Facebookization of modern communication. Nor is it pulled from an academic treatise on the phenomenologies of post-industrial existence. This statement was made by Orson Welles in the 1972 futurist documentary Future Shock, and, unlike some of the more dated elements of 1970s educational films, Future Shock remains shockingly current in verbalizing the concerns and anxieties that come along with rapid societal and technological change.
