Features: The "Private Film Collection" series published by Zhejiang People's Publishing House is currently selling well in Hangzhou. This series consists of three parts: "Art House Cinema," "Action Cinema," and "Coming-of-Age Cinema," each written by three seasoned film enthusiasts. The three authors in the book share their years of cherished personal viewing experiences with readers, guiding them in discovering great films. "Cannot Do Without Action" is the preface written by the author of "Action Cinema." Looking at the imported blockbusters currently screening in domestic cinemas, none are without action. The rise of action in international cinema is in proportion to the rise of the Chinese people. However, action is merely a vehicle and a form; what truly moves the heart is the content behind this vehicle and the emotions it conveys—whether intense or profound, but all deeply moving. The book introduces classic action films in three parts: "Sincere Emotional Warriors," "Pure Action Heroes," and "World-Shocking Magical Agents." The appendix on "Sensory Action Cinema" compiles 300 action films worth watching.
