    In fact, for most of the movies I've seen, this should be the lowest score. Everyone gave the movie a good review, but I didn't feel so deeply in my heart. And it's much worse than what I expected to see, mainly because of the influence of the original work. No matter what degree or angle, the two have much different attitudes. Movies are nowhere near as good as novels. So the disappointment and gap in my heart made me only give two...

    The first 40 minutes were very good, and the two commendable scenes were the bayonet piercing the shadow puppet curtain, and the black people on the battlefield running in the snow. The content in the back is a little watery, but the ending treatment has weakened the tragic color. Could it be the little flower that grew on the grave after the artistic treatment? So as not to make the audience too pessimistic? (I'm sure I watched the abridged version!!) In addition, the actors' performances are...

    Life is like a drama, drama is like life

    Zhang Yimou's "Alive" in the opening remarks
    has always been talked about by everyone as his early representative works. What I am concerned about is that it selects the traditional image of shadow puppetry, which runs through the whole film. Compared with the same classic "Farewell My Concubine"...

    alive is better than anything

    After reading the novel and watching the movie, you will find that the movie is much better than the novel, at least if the characters are not as miserable as the novel's portrayal, the audience will not feel sad for too long after watching it. The film spans a long period of time, from the...
