The first half was a disaster, it made me feel like I was on pins and needles, the colonialism white savior's sense of superiority + the symbolic "China" elements imagined by the West are presented + too many functional plots and characters like a running account notepad are used to advance the main line, and the characters are not Chinese. Thinking, especially the "romantic" relationship between Wanrong and Wenxiu and the two women and one man, Chen Chong is like Snow White in the old Disney cartoons, both the actors and the plot are full of Western-style pretentiousness, and the whitewashed sympathy for Puyi throughout the film. The emotion of pity and love cannot get rid of this hypocritical element. The director's full of love is a hypocritical love that does not eat human fireworks, and his thinking is also purely Western. This can never be regarded as a Chinese movie. If you put aside the real history, just as a "story movie" itself, there are also some remarkable things, such as the exquisite restoration of Fuhua Dao (but it is also the "truth" of this superficial effort that conceals the core of the narrative. False), such as music (but I hate the theme song very much, it is filled with a peeping, ridiculing, and vain attempt to speak for a noble royal family of the Far Eastern Dynasty under the cover of this hypocritical glorification of the "other" from an outside perspective. lewd emotions), such as Puyi's two chases (one of the better drama routines). I was stunned to see so many people give five stars to this movie that treats their own national history as a monkey play. The blood and fire, ruins and soil of the real history have a real solid weight, and the director's sense of superiority floats lightly in the sky above the ground. However, because of the excellent operation of film technology, it has such great ideological discourse power, and has even been endowed by the public with the right to pretend to be a god who has a bird's-eye view of history, recklessly overwhelmed with arrogant "judge" words The silent real history. Shouldn't this be outrageous?
