    The Eight-Power Allied Forces entered the city. Filmed in Spain, because the filming required thousands of Chinese actors, the film company brought almost all the Chinese people it could find from all over Spain to film. Because the visiting staff were all employed by film companies, Chinese restaurants across Spain were almost closed during the filming. The film was banned from being shown in Hong Kong until the late 1980s because of its sensitive subject matter. The last time was The Good...

    There is nothing wrong with the story, and the Queen endured it when she was working in the Temple of Heaven. But this city of Beijing is too mini, so why don't you put the panorama if you can't fit it... The space scale is wrong, what's the use of fine...

    Very good, not insulting China, Cixi, Ronglu, etc. are relatively positive, what drives them to be stubborn is the inertia of two thousand years of monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, and it is still the same to this...

    This film cleverly avoids all the bad whitewashing. Although this film is completely the main theme of the West, it is still a very successful heroic film starting from the film itself (the set props are willing to spend money, and the war scenes can also be seen ), two and a half...

    For me, the American-style heroism complex is not only about watching movies, but the background of the times covered is more interesting. Seeing myself from the eyes of others, the Chinese people who are arrogant, the Boxer Rebellion, the stubborn Cixi, the Eight-Power Allied Forces I was stationed in Beijing to protect the overseas Chinese, and I was finally rescued after 55 days of fighting with the Boxers, smashing, looting and burning. Some people say that the "thieves" were brought into...

    This is the first time I have seen a foreigner's perspective to narrate this history. The foreigners played the Empress Dowager and ministers who spoke English, and the discord was wonderful. The image of the Chinese presented is somewhat stereotyped, but it is not humiliating to China, and even has an anti-war core. The art and props are quite attentive. There are no grammatical errors in the Chinese characters that appear, the details are quite good, and the big scene is not ambiguous....

    Land and sea in Beijing in 1900

    Judging from the three views and stances of some Chinese people, the film will of course be very thunderous. The Eight-Nation Alliance’s invasion of China is our national shame, and this two-and-a-half-hour-long, epic-level blockbuster at the time is exactly From the perspective of the Eight-Power...
