The Emperor and the Assassin Comments

    I love Brother Kai because his understanding of historical figures is never symbolic, and his deconstruction is always to the point. Jing Ke, isn't it just that Jin's mouth is not open, his mouth is not changed, and he has both wisdom, courage, and faith? Auntie, isn't she the one who is unfaithful to the emperor, but trying to achieve the image of a competent husband and father? Ying Zheng, isn't he withdrawn, evil, tenacious, and truly lonely? Jing Ke's final dialect performance makes the...

    Chen Kaige is worthy of being an avant-garde artist. This movie is too advanced. No matter the character, modeling, shooting techniques, staging, and lines, it is very tense, making people sweat profusely after watching it. The artistic performance is far superior to Zhang Yimou's...

    Many Chinese costume blockbusters are shrouded in the shadow of Shakespeare in terms of character emotion and ideology. This is almost the only film I have seen that can break through Shakespeare in these two aspects. Historical films are not easy to make, and it is even more difficult to make well-known history, so this film deserves five stars. The crew obviously worked hard, and almost every major historical figure has his own character, and the analysis is very deep. This is a tasteful...

    it is good! This is the level of international directors in making historical dramas. The lines and performances are first-class, and the details of the adaptation of history are reasonable and reasonable, shaping the mental process of King Qin's evolution into a tyrant. Jing Ke changed from not killing to killing. Zhao Nv loves overlords but not tyrants, and the love in the palace is naturally mixed with utility, but this straight daughter is not blinded by utility. Chen Kaige was Jing Ke, who...

    [Moliu's directors and actors use stereotypes and simple historical allusions to get to know the characters they want to perform. When playing the emperor, they can find a tall, handsome and handsome person to act without expression. But King Qin is a very complicated character. He was a hostage from birth, and he was always shrouded in conspiracy and betrayal. The people in the world he loved were gnashing his teeth at him. His only closest mother had an affair with a traitor. He had to grit...

    Chen Kaige made an epic film of Akira Kurosawa and Shakespeare. It is more specific and cruel than "Ode to Qin", there is no legend, the play is full of yin and yang characters, a lonely, depressed and twisted Ying Zheng, the clown has no...

    For people with some background knowledge, they can figure out a way, and the gap is slightly larger than the official history; but for people with little background knowledge, it seems like a cloud of fog, and the front and back plots are separated. Gong Li's Zhao Ji is fabricated? Almost confused with the famous mother of Qin Shi Huang. Isn't this a drama? Pan Changjiang and Zhao Benshan are too people to make plays, and it is completely pointless to invite a group of big stars to make cameo...

    1. Zhou Xiaowen's Qin Songzhuyu is in front, Chen Kaige's ambition to stab Qin Ye is too big, and he has to have a Lu Buwei addiction, narcissism is fine. 2. Li Xuejian and Qin Wang are really different in temperament, and Gong Li, don't you think it's better to play Zhao Nv? 3. Hundreds of millions of RMB were spent to create gorgeous sets and grand scenes, but the characters and logic were very empty. This film set a precedent for a Chinese-style disaster blockbuster. After a few years, Zhang...

    Chen Kaige's aesthetic has always been online, and the art sets are very epic, even a little like Kurosawa. In terms of the plot, the three characters, King Qin, Mrs. Zhao, and Jing Ke, constitute the main dramatic conflict of the whole play. The desire of King Qin to rule the world and Mrs. Jing...
