The plot and rhythm of the whole film are protracted, the performances and emotions are single, the false special effects are not dangerous, and the pretentious soundtrack is from beginning to end. The excessive use of close-up and slow motion, for fear that the audience will miss the key point, is sensational and low-minded, which is annoying. The Chinese title is actually an advertisement. The two characters of Tangshan are depicted in red on the left, which is quite unspoken, while the English title is more closely related to the original intention of the film. As the saying goes, bragging about brothers and deceiving fathers and sons, this film is not at all like Xiaogang's style, as if it suddenly became Feng Xiaoning's direct line. . Only some props with a sense of the times are slightly friendly. This year, students who want to take the postgraduate entrance examination for Beijing Film Academy can skip this film. It is expected that the analysis of the film will not be done in vain.
