    Two years later than "Barry Lyndon", it is easy to see Thor's imitation of Kushen, an oil painting-like scene that expands from details to local stretched shots. Of course, there are some innovative elements, some messy new Hollywood-style jump cuts, very stylistic, and a little more admiration for Thor! Unfortunately, I watched it in three days during the Spring Festival. ps: Javier's acting skills exploded, his eyes are full of...

    [B-] As Ridley's debut, it is indeed reasonable, and it is indeed obvious that this film imitates "Barry Lyndon", but only the quality of photography and the slow zoom lens can be regarded as learned roughly, the level of the play It's pretty bland and boring. The editing of the horse-riding duel in the middle is really funny, and all the flashbacks that come up are not worth it. Did you not even deal with the...

    After reading it, I realized that it was the debut work of Ridley Scott's director. It was a great movie with exquisite pictures, real scenes and picturesque scenes.

    Art is good. The story is average but it looks quite tense. The male protagonist has been coerced by a lunatic for so many years, and it is not easy to...

    The pictures are exquisite and the images are refined, but the psychology of the characters cannot be felt, and Harvey Keitel's character is even weaker. The cause of the duel and the endless duels for many years have never been convincing, and perhaps it would be more appropriate to put it in the context of a Western. But for a debut, it's already pretty...

    I can't bear to watch these two stupid men, even Harvey Cartel, they are not attractive if they are stupid. Or based on real idiots, it's not easy for men to live... What did Cannes like about it? No love at all for Ridley Scott =...

    Narrator: The duellist demands satisfaction. Honour, for him, is an appetite. This story is about an eccentric kind of hunger. It is a true story and begins in the year that Napoleon Bonaparte became ruler of France.
