    A film that fully and unreservedly demonstrates the director's mediocre creative ability. The director does not have any sense of hiding the narrative, and every meaning he wants to express (such as how the male protagonist is injured, the financial distress of the male protagonist's family) must be filmed and let the characters speak/act directly. Too rigid narrative also results in a lack of footage and textual information. Also, it's not because the camera language skills are very deep,...

    Using knights to tame fierce animals reflects the tameness of people in society. The frustration at the end is consistent with the knight's repeated explanation that he will go back after the injury is healed for the time...

    A true warrior has to learn to give up in addition to working hard - the theme is still very oriental. Zhao Ting is expected to succeed Ang...

    La mise en scène minimaliste porte en elle toutte effusion et son déploiement émotionnel en douceur. Ancrée dans 1 territoire donné, la caméra,qui se départit du regard démiurgique, capte discrètement la sublimation de l'humanité qui se dégage de ce paysage...

    #Pingyao Film Festival# It is like a combination of Ang Lee and Malik. The joys and sorrows of a small town, family predicaments, and personal dreams are intertwined. The themes are common in American films, but the perfect workmanship and emotional image level are very important for a new Chinese director. It's not...

    The chicken soup theme of clenching and letting go is written under the restraint of the director into a prose poem praising the beauty of human rationality. Human stubbornness corresponds to the wildness of horses. To tame a horse is to conquer fate. The difference is that surrender to fate can also gain freedom. There are so many routines in American indie films that several parts feel like...

    The narrative is so weak, so the first 80 minutes were boring, and the last sensational feeling was too vulgar to me. After reading it, I feel that there is not enough sympathy for the protagonist to form a resonance. The view is...

    7. The story of seeing the big from the small has a lot of things hidden in it. The video has also taken a lot of thought, and the future can be...

    Sad to see...it's my Hyman of the year. It is also a non-actor, it also shows a remote area, and it is also character driven. Personally, I feel that this film has a much stronger sense of emotional penetration than another film this...

    If the hustle and bustle doesn't stop, let Chloe Zhao accompany you to be quiet

    Female directors, these three words seem to be inherently labeled as weak in the film and television industry.

    Why I like Zhao Ting, aside from all other factors, as an audience, we only appreciate her works. Zhao Ting seems to be born to remove the labels of these stereotypes. I have to admit that...

    Do not complain about the disappointment of outsiders

    (Text / Yang Shiyang)

    What's so interesting about "Knights"? Thinking about it carefully, perhaps it is because the director consciously restrained himself and never exaggerated ambitions, but instead, this focus, concentration and quiet gaze have created a rare broadness. This story only presents...
