    In fact, some of Chen Kaige's later major problems - the magical reform of historical dramas, the fact that the world's major events are attributed to children's love, the lines of Western-style modern dramas in costume films, the expression of values ​​that don't care about the audience - have already begun to emerge, but this fashion is well grasped. stay. Moreover, the layout of the scene is very good. In some places, Yan Zhao's heroic generosity is displayed well, and the one in Handan is...

    Thick and deep, the concept of King Qin's "world" is not vague because it is filled with too many King Qin's love, hatred, and hatred. The story of Jing Ke, an assassin, is a cliché, from vowing to die "not to kill" to "will kill" for the sake of love and righteousness. The form of expression is very powerful. The sub-chapter structure does make the film rich in information and relatively independent. It increases the depth, and also makes the plot more clear. The depth and heaviness are almost...

    This may not be Chen Kaige's best film, but it is one of the best Chinese films. The epic masterpiece, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is our most exciting piece of history, and this film really captures that sense of history. Magnificent and subtle, Chen Kaige's kung fu in training actors is first-class. There is not a single character in the film that is not brilliant. Li Xuejian and Wang Zhiwen are very impressive. I think it is no exaggeration to say that Chen...

    Why is this movie like this? Expressed incomprehension! -12.03.23 —— I don't know how many historical facts the story follows, but at that time, the lines in the vernacular of classical Chinese were really strange, and sometimes the dialogues of the characters gave me the feeling of "making", because I didn't believe they really would Talking like this... There are problems with the lack of action and excessive jumping between certain shots... The art and big scenes are quite large and...

    [Beijing Film Festival Screening] Telecine version. The editing is different from the American and Japanese versions. The performance skills of the senior actors represented by Li Xuejian and Wang Zhiwen are amazing, and the image of Qin Shihuang is extremely full. The whole has a sense of the stage, and it is extremely simple and vigorous. Chen Kaige used the story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin to construct a chaotic picture of the Warring States period, a war-torn cruel creature with...

    Under the thorough theme of serving the world or for the common people, each character is full of perverse power, moving towards their goals, so the performance is extremely forceful, and his words and deeds are full of stage drama. The art and modeling highlight the power of Qin and the invincibility of the first emperor. Jing Ke's assassination only accounted for a very small part. The process and psychology of the grand and tragic Qin Shi Huang's attack on the world were laid out in front of...

    Chen Kaige doesn't lose to Farewell My Concubine's works at all. The heaviness of that history still shocks me after many years. Teacher Li Xuejian is...

    Let me, who seldom read history books, revisit the story of the Warring States Period, and it's pretty good, especially the first 90 minutes, which is very epic. There are very few historical blockbusters as stable and solid as China, and more support should be...

    A great movie. The King of Qin in it has an almost neurotic feeling. The sense of art and subversion is very strong. Chen Kaige's peak work. It is worth...

    Cutting himself is his way to become king

    Throughout the film, King Qin oscillates between revenge for his frustrated past, seeking peace for the world, and obeying the oath he made to the ancestors of all dynasties. In the long run, the end point of the three is the same. But as the film progresses, the contradiction between the two...

    It's a fantasy

    It's too late to watch Chen Kaige. It's all about Taoist priests going down the mountain, Wuji, mysterious and mysterious, and I don't understand. After reading the Legend of the Demon Cat, it's a feeling - I spent a lot of money to shoot it, the visual perception is very good, but there is nothing...
