[Movie] "Golden Armor": The strongest sound of 2006 Chinese movies!

Went to watch "Golden Armor" against the wind and rain in the city.
Before, "Xinjing" and "Southern Capital" both chose to attack Zhang Yimou in the first place. Many of the great people I know also hold their own opinions. Basically, there are only a handful of good words, but my opinion is at odds with: " "Golden Armor" is very strong, fierce, and very enjoyable. The flaws in the film technology are not enough to constitute a tacit understanding of the media's cooperation.
The mainstream media seems to be increasingly inclined to chaos and contradictions. This kind of thing has been quite explicit during the period of "Ambush on Ten Sides", but this is not the focus of today's discussion.

2
Regardless of the media or individuals, they crusade or squabble with "Golden Armor", I can understand. After all, scolding Zhang Yimou has become an inertia, and even scolding all domestic movies has long been fashionable.
When I met Tan Fei yesterday, he also sneered at "Golden Armor". I asked, why did the media show such intriguing indifference to such a good film as "The Good Man in Three Gorges", while chattering about a "big bad film"? He said that the media is too realistic.
It's not the reality of the media, it's the reality of people.

Regarding the discussion on the technical aspects of the film, I don't think it matters. There are different opinions and it is completely legitimate, but those who talk about the breasts at every turn are actually not very decent. The kind of writing that caters to the tastes of the public is not improper, but not clever, like a clown juggling.
Don’t you just see "turbulent waves" throughout the story? I am very worried about your eyesight and intelligence.

4 The
story is not weak.
Everyone knows that this story is adapted from "Thunderstorm", and the huge risk of adapting a famous book is unknown to everyone in the film industry. "Golden Armor"'s "adaptation" of "Thunderstorm" is subversive. "The Banquet" is a difficult reconstruction and painful interpretation of the same step by step.
Ice is for water, but colder than water.

5
The entire chapter of "Golden A" talks about politics. This is not difficult for anyone who has a little experience of the profound changes in Chinese society in the last 20 years.
Talking about politics, even the hidden elements that Chinese films will never lack, they always admire art films. Of course, creators desire profound themes, political metaphors, and even hard to abandon. "Peacock", "Green Red"... and even the newly painted "Ink" Attack” is all so, but it can truly present the “political metaphor” nakedly, the “Golden Armor” is the most fierce and straightforward. It has no maneuvering, and it is never soft-after the blood has flowed into a river, it is immediately purged. , And then re-covered with flowers, covering the truth... The
lines are surprisingly straightforward:
"I rebelled, not to seize power, I am for the mother (no longer drink poison)."
This vivid and free is the reality of those people back then. Then the rebellion was suppressed, and the kingship ordered the "rebels" to make the final decision: either die, or abandon the oath, poison the mother, and survive. Many years ago, in front of the Forbidden City gate, many people chose to live in silence, or stay silent while living, because that would be more realistic.
But the second prince did not choose to betray, he died for that promise, it was an idealistic death.

6
That glass of wine is actually poisonous wine!
Wang, never intended to let her live on!
For many years, Chinese movies have been like this queen who was given a chronic poison. It's just that we can't find the king who committed the murder.

7
Zhou Yunfa's acting skills are superb. He vividly shows the complex relationship of a king with both hegemonic imperial power and strong fatherhood, which is sometimes contradictory and sometimes merged.
In the unabridged version of "Golden Armor", he clearly explained one of Wang's hidden illnesses. Isn't he always fumigating the dragon chair with Chinese medicine? That's because he knows that his reproductive ability is losing. In any case, he wants to keep a son, one of the strongest sons, but unfortunately it is this son who wants to rebel against him.

8
In the same year, "The Good Man in Three Gorges" and "Golden Armor" were born, which is a wonder of Chinese culture.
The 2006 Chinese film is a wonderful one. This is the perfect answer for a century of Chinese film.

In 2007, "The Sun Rises Again"...

    The most impressive thing is the glittering gold, and the whole film is dizzy. Is the female clothing too revealing, is it purely for attendance?

    Jaylen recommended me to watch it. The storyline is quite like a thunderstorm.

Curse of the Golden Flower quotes

  • Prince Jai: [upon discovering the Black Fungus] Mother was taken ill yesterday. Was it because of this?

    Empress Phoenix: [nods head]

    Prince Jai: Why is Father doing this to you?

    Empress Phoenix: Jai, after the Chrysanthemum Festival, I shall tell you the whole truth.

    [turns away]

    Empress Phoenix: Each day, in front of your father, I have to feign ignorance. Every two hours, I swallow this poison without protest. Nobody knows what is happening. I shall die exactly as your father intends. A half-wit. But I refuse to submit without a fight. On the night of the Festival, I shall put an end to all this.

    Prince Jai: Do my brothers know?

    Empress Phoenix: No.

    Prince Jai: If I had not returned, would Mother have gone ahead?

    Empress Phoenix: Yes.

    Prince Jai: Then why did you tell me?

    Empress Phoenix: Because I want you to be Emperor.

    Prince Jai: Are you going to kill Father?

    Empress Phoenix: I shall force him to abdicate, but it is not my intention to kill him.

    Prince Jai: Mother, a son cannot stand in rebellion against his father! Whatever the circumstances, he is still my father and my Emperor.

  • Emperor Ping: It has been 25 years. I thought that I would never see you again.

    [attempts to touch Mrs. Jiang's face]

    Mrs. Jiang: [knocks the Emperor's hand away]

    Emperor Ping: [grabs Mrs. Jiang] And you married the Imperial Doctor!

    Mrs. Jiang: [slaps the Emperor roughly] At the time, you were only a lowly captain plotting day and night to become Emperor. You flattered the King of Liang into letting you marry his daughter. You planned meticulously to have my entire family put in prison. Later, I alone managed to escape. Far from home, I almost died. It was the Doctor who saved me. Who then, do you think I should have married?
