Let's look at it another way. The Boxers were the Red Guards, but they were used to deal with foreign devils. It is really unreasonable to be able to declare war on 11 countries, kill the minister and besiege the embassy. (Additional...

In fact, the set and photography are very good, but the history of aggression in the Gengzi Incident is overly glorified. From a Western perspective, the Boxers are no different from terrorist rioters. The whole film does not involve the birth of the Boxers in the context of the times. It is a very intuitive expression of the hypocrisy and corruption of the Qing court. Charlton Heston's US Marine Corps role is like a western cowboy who liberates the wild land. Western powers use force to...

Wow, hahaha, unilateral narrative from the perspective of colonialism, machismo personal hero white supremacy, Chinese people are all yin and yang monsters, they are like zombies who can scream when they fight, and the children born by white men and Chinese women fornication are right Being rescued back to the United States, a white woman who commits adultery with a Chinese man will be hurt and must apologize to death...

It can be compared with the book "The History of China Lost in the West: The Late Qing Dynasty Recorded by the French Small Daily", especially the one about whether the coalition forces "fired fire" or...

Except for the setting, the overall is lackluster, the procrastinating rhythm makes people drowsy, and the excessively subjective perspective also affects the level of the film. The Manchus played by several foreigners are quite tasteful. This colonialist film represents the views of most Westerners towards the Chinese at the time - most Chinese people are like uncivilized monkeys in the forest. While rejecting (or unable to) their own "evolution", they desperately resisted human civilization's...

How to use big productions to falsify history and reverse black and white
The three films I accidentally watched recently all tell the past of the Boxer: "The Secret History of the Qing Palace", the drama version of "Under the Red Flag" and this "Beijing 55th"; the shooting time is also different, they are in the 1940s. The end, the beginning of the 21st century and the...

Whoever wants to see the world clearly should keep the necessary distance from it
This is an American movie filmed in the 1960s, about the Eight-Power Allied Forces. This combination is destined to be an extraordinary work, especially for the Chinese.
The production of the film was very serious. In the 1960s, when it was impossible to come to China for shooting at all, a Beijing...
