Looking at it again in 10 years, the one I dislike the most is Jay Chou

When it was released that year, I was still a fan of Jay Chou, and I ran for him. In fact, I didn't understand the plot, so I thought he was handsome. Yesterday, on November 1, 2017, I watched it again, and I felt that the biggest flaw in this film was the use of Jay Chou. Such an important role, his acting skills are not good, he is like a wooden chicken, which drags down the whole drama. In addition to Jay Chou, even Qin Junjie (the third prince), who was only 15 years old at the time, has the acting skills online.

The plot has shifted the character relationship of "Thunderstorm". Looking at it now, whether it is costume modeling, characterization or production level, this drama was underestimated back then. It has been more than ten years, but in fact, I was too young to understand, and the aesthetics did not keep up. Nowadays, everyone is too tolerant of real bad films, but too harsh to good films, hoping that someone will rectify the name of this drama.

    ★★★★ It's definitely a good movie. I remember watching it in the movie theater and the audience didn't want to leave for a long time after the movie ended. The last time I rewatched it, it still felt great. This is an excellent commercial blockbuster, but also a great literary film.
