"Golden Armor" is called the ancient costume version of "Thunderstorm" because the plot of each other is indeed too similar. Almost everyone can correspond to the character image of Mr. Cao Yu's original work, such as "The King" in "Zhou Puyuan" ", "Zhou Ping" to "Prince", "Fan Yi" to "Queen", "Sifeng" to "Little Chan"...
"Full of Golden Armor in the City" is a gorgeous movie with gorgeous costumes , The extravagance of the scene is worse than the previous "Yan Banquet". Of course, Zhang Yimou's director level is much better than Feng Xiaogang. The scattered shots and depressive atmosphere make this film relatively compact and moving. The film also has the gimmicks and action scenes that many commercial films should have. It follows the traditions of "Heroes" and "Ambush on All Sides", deliberately operating and working hard in the few fighting scenes. The most classic scene is the match between Wang and Yuanjie at the beginning. This fight is different from the scenes of arbitrary play and volleying in the previous martial arts movies, but it is relatively realistic and stable. The spark of the collision of weapons four The splashes and the close-ups of the characters' eyes make this action scene a lot more interesting. It is also eye-opening in terms of weapons and equipment. Whether it is the flashy and mighty golden armor or the unique lasso and sickle of the ziplining warriors, they all reflect the excellent imagination and originality of the creators. The magnificent war scenes and military restraint and other details can be seen in the director's efforts to improve the viewing and entertainment of the film. However, the problems inside came out immediately. Zhang Yimou was obviously a little weak in controlling and grasping the commercial elements of the film. The parallel montage narrative of the court ladies getting up at the beginning of the film and the return of the king's army seems difficult to connect them. The extravagant scenes feel a bit dull. It’s true that the plot to slaughter Jiang’s family in Tianfu Inn is thrilling, but you can’t escape the stereotypes of vendetta and escape in the costume film. Zhang Yimou showed off in many scenes, such as the flow of hundreds of imperial doctors in the pharmacy. Wan's eunuch cleans up the battlefield and chorus, but this actually doesn't have much effect on the narrative of the film, it is just a show-off scene.

    The eldest son was born with true love, but true love has been sacrificed in exchange for the throne. If true love reappears after the event, it can only be sacrificed again, otherwise the throne will be unstable. The second son obviously tried to win the crown prince. Wang also liked him the most. I planned to pass it on, but "if you don't give it, you can't take it", so it is necessary to practice, and even forcing him to kill his mother in the end is also a kind of experience. In Wang's opinion If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. The role of the third son as a bento, the royal family never paid attention to the youngest son, and dared to kill him directly. The latter is the daughter of King Liang, who is Wang Neng's political bargaining chip on the throne. It can only be removed secretly, and the more you want to pass the throne to the second child, the more you have to kill the queen as soon as possible. will affect the smooth transfer of power. It is precisely for the sake of a smooth handover that the king did not directly kill the prince who was fornicating, because a country cannot be without a country. It can be said that in order to secure the throne, the king has good reasons for everything, but everything is extremely cruel. In the end, the square was washed with blood, the ground was washed with clean water, and the mother took poison after feeding. Fortunately, the audience couldn't understand it, so it passed the trial. It's a pity that it's useless after the trial, and the audience can't understand it.
