The film tries to return the characters to their true colors with a more intuitive attitude, and successfully tries to dig deep into the inner world of the characters. With sharp style and clear thinking, Chen Kaige's directing skills and acting skills are as good as performances, and it is indeed a rare historical masterpiece. Compared with making a better-looking film, the greater significance of this film is that Chen Kaige told Chinese filmmakers that Chinese epics can be made like...

The narrative structure of the Japanese version and the Chinese version is very different, with a score of 7.5 for the Japanese version and a score of 8.5 for the Chinese version. In the Japanese version, Jing Ke's debut is placed at the beginning of the film, which makes the story of Ao Shu and Lu Buwei become a side branch and appears redundant. There are some more comical and inexplicable parts of the characters. The conflict is driven by emotional expression and lacks narrative foundation....

The benchmark for epic blockbusters: family and country hatred, cruel ideals, intertwined contradictions, the general trend of the world, involuntarily, alone in control of the universe and insignificant. PS: The young Zhou Xun is really beautiful, the deep essence of Akira Kurosawa, and Lu Buwei played by Chen Kaige is not angry, but what happened...

Four and a half stars, I personally recommend the 161min version, because the extra dramas are all focused on Jing Ke, and it is obviously cumbersome to add lines after the scene like Zhou Xun. However, Zhang Fengyi's Jing Ke is the same as the small building in "Farewell My Concubine". Another green leaf. As a historical theme, I only see if it is restoring history. If it is, it is basically throwing the street. The authorship and character independence of this theme are well established, and...

When Brother Kai is not engaged in romantic affairs, his level is still high. The characters are full of reasonable imagination. Although it is a bit dramatic, the blood, cruelty, and paranoia are more like the epitome of...

①The bad taste that the screenwriter thinks is funny is very uncomfortable. I don't object to the nervousness and so-called childishness caused by the shadow of King Qin's childhood, but Jingke's pattern has been greatly reduced. Humanists are not a mere compliment these days. The person who was touched by the blind girl and went to assassinate Qin in order to save the children of the world was not Jing Ke, who was touched by Tian Guang's suicide in historical literature and did not reject the...

171127 Archives have been re-flashed. Since I already have the structure of "The Assassination of the First Emperor" in my mind, I am a little surprised to see this version again. Except for the lack of chapters, the sequence of the scenes is different. A large number of paragraphs have different lengths before and after, and even some of the shots are framed. The numbers have changed. To say that the Japanese version is earlier, here are several editing errors. In short, the two-line advance is
