I think it's a very ugly movie, and it didn't shock my heart after watching it.
But every movie, different people will have different understandings, even the same person will have different understandings under different experiences, some people will feel that the plot is dragged, the performance is paralyzed, the martial arts is nonsense, the world view is distorted, etc., some people will feel that The plot is grand, the performance is calm, the martial arts are beautiful, thought-provoking and so on. So I don't think everyone has to wonder about sensory things. No matter how many people feel the same way, it doesn't mean you have to feel the same way, so it's fine for the audience to like it.
This movie attracts a lot of blackmail, which is also a phenomenon of the times.
This film is an epoch-making work of Chinese commercial films. Starting from this film, China has truly had commercial films. Obviously, this was incompatible with the Chinese film market environment at that time.
Almost completely copied the production mode of American commercial blockbusters, introduced a large number of computer special effects (and these special effects are even higher than the five-mao special effects of many so-called "blockbusters" we don't know where), and assembled a large number of mainland China, Hong Kong and China at that time. The first-line stars who went international, joined the restricted-level scenes that were still very novel back then, severely cracked down on piracy, charged super high ticket prices, and hit the Oscars. In the dying environment of the Chinese film market at that time, when the producers of domestic films were mostly studios, and domestic films were basically used for political propaganda and planning tasks, the audience who were used to watching pirated discs was a novelty. Disgusted again. I have high expectations, and I can't wait to see it smash the pot. Especially after hearing that this movie is going to go to the Olympics, everyone feels the same as the current Olympic delegation. Because studios still existed in those days, and many things were still the state system, many people would subconsciously feel that the film was spent on Chinese money. So expectations are pretty high, and I'm always ready to step on him.
But this film is actually a follow-up to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" after its international acclaim. It can be seen that this movie is a bit of a duck to the shelves. The theme of assassinating Qin has been filmed by many people, and the movie has borrowed a lot of things from Akira Kurosawa. The style basically follows the trend of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the theme is a thing that almost all Chinese who have gone to school have learned - Qin Shihuang The greatest historical achievement is to unify the world, end the war, and establish the first unified feudal dynasty in Chinese history. That is to say, you have been ignorant for a long time, and what you finally said is a knowledge point in a textbook, which is a judgment against "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which is "full of oriental charm". What's more, the domestic audience at the time didn't like the mysterious tone of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", so the common people had a feeling of being cheated, and the professionals had a kind of "what's so great about having money, not just copying the west". copy" feeling. And what can't be ignored is that the main audience at that time, watching the flying style of play, it is easy to have this association - if you can fly the Japanese, can you get in? But in today's anti-Japanese dramas, some people are flying to beat the Japanese, and some people still love to watch them. . . Okay, here goes the distance. . After all, people at that time were very different. And no matter when, audiences don't like marketing this stuff.
To sum up, first of all, this film challenged the way of film operation at that time, which made people at that time very uncomfortable. Secondly, the quality of the film itself was average, and the flavor was too utilitarian. Besides, there were also "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and a group of black people. Zeming's masterpiece is in the first place, so he is neither popular with ordinary people nor popular with critics.
This is how a bad movie was born. But it changed the whole market, created a precedent, Chinese movies are starting to make money, I don't think that's a bad idea.
The worldview of this film is black, saying that the film is praising dictators, which should be something that has only happened in the past few years. Something that seems to cost a lot of money must be wrapped in an arrogant, regressive, deceitful heart. In fact, when the film first came out, its worldview was still very mainstream at the time. Sacrificing the lives of a small number of people to achieve long-term peace and stability for the majority of people has always been a manifestation of collectivism in our country. To be honest, there is nothing to be black. With the gradual development of the times, naturally everyone will find such an idea ridiculous, but it does not mean that it is completely undesirable. Everyone should be prepared to be ridiculed by their younger generations while laughing at their elders. I read the most critical article in the long commentary, and the statement was biased and refuted. The director is the author, and the interpretation is the audience. You can see the author's playfulness and satire on tyranny from this movie, as well as all the fifth-generation directors' interpretations of Assassin. It can't be said that he praised the dictator just because people spent a lot of money to use Qin Shihuang as the protagonist before he died. You must know that when Taishi Gong himself wrote Bai Qi, the culprit of the Changping Battle, he also held a sympathetic heart.
Qin Shihuang was shown as a positive figure in history, in fact, it was after the founding of New China. Because before the overthrow of Confucianism, Chinese culture with Confucian culture as its core would not have any positive comments on a ruler who had cheated on Confucianism. Whether history is a little girl who was dressed up at will, in fact, it can be seen from this incident. Since Qin Shihuang would be praised as a hero by someone with historical and cultural education, it seems that a group of Confucian scholars used historical and cultural education to retaliate against Qin Shihuang for thousands of years. It seems to be a similar thing. So I don't think it's a matter of emphasizing human nature and ethics to set things right for the traditional culture of Greater China to put everything that ends with Qin Shihuang not dead into the eighteenth hell.
Massacres and tyranny should be spurned in any value. In the movie, Canjian and Wuming did not start, but they actually have their own inner helplessness and sadness. I don't think they agree with Qin Shihuang's approach if they don't start. Qin Shihuang's lines in the movie really depend on the audience's understanding. If you believe it, you believe it. If you don't believe it, then you are right. The decision to understand is yours.
We cannot reverse the tragedy of history. The movie provides such a possibility, and it also expresses an expectation through the nameless mouth: the dead, I hope the king can remember and not kill. I think all the common people in all dynasties have such expectations for the emperor, but most emperors are disappointing. How to get out of such a tragedy, that's Dimaclassie. . Reading the yearning for democracy from a movie that "praises dictatorship", I think it is the real yearning. .
Interesting is the end credits. I don’t remember whether there were subtitles at the end of the original version, but the American version is very powerful. The translation reads: “The nameless is buried with the honor of a hero. Qin Shihuang unified China, established the Qin Dynasty, built the Great Wall, and all Chinese descendants in the future. Call his country the motherland." There is also a subtitle at the beginning of the film, which says that during the Warring States Period, there were continuous wars. To end this killing in one go. Linking back and forth, that is to say, King Qin was originally brutal, but Wuming did not kill him, which made him repent, so he established a unified country and made great achievements. The so-called director's cut end subtitles are in German, and the general meaning is much simpler: King Qin unified the six kingdoms, built the Great Wall, and established the Qin Dynasty. Then according to this subtitle, there is no praise component, and you can even think of it if you have a stronger associative ability: let this dick be the emperor. . How many people died when building the Great Wall? . It would be nice if you just stab it. .
The subtitles of the American version should be for the sake of the Olympics, and I didn't want to confuse foreigners who don't know Chinese history too much, so I wrote this story as the origin of China. I wrote this detail to say that a few lines of subtitles can turn the content of a movie upside down, so to arbitrarily say that this movie is praising the dictator and also has a very bad impact, so that the fifth generation has Shadows or something, isn't it a little bit taking one's own heart to save other people's belly?
