The film is shortened to half the length of the 1959 edition, and the background of the story is also extended, allowing the audience to better understand the two brothers love and kill each other by understanding the growing background of Massara, who is at war with each other. , the complex feelings of love-hate entanglement. But on the other hand, when it was released in China, the sensitivity of the subject matter also led to the deletion of some religious scenes, which made many viewers feel that the ending was abrupt, and they could not understand why the reconciliation came so quickly. The weakening of the religious theme may become a slot, after all, this is a film with a religious theme; but the smoothness and integrity of the story, as well as the key scenes, such as the sea battle and the chariot race circus, will still make the movie more exciting. The audience felt it was worth the price. The so-called lack of sincerity in the film, just blindly adding CG special effects is purely a blind evaluation. The film's starring Jack Huston and others entered the group for special training three months in advance. It took 45 days for a circus show. The main creators tried their best to make a great chariot scene. Too much reliance on special effects, but mainly real shooting, with a small amount of CG, finally presents a 3D effect that makes the audience feel addicted, which is also a gratifying conscience of the film.
I have to admit that the classic light is dazzling and cannot be copied. There are also many unsatisfactory places in the new work, but I still hope that more friends can actually go into the cinema to see it with their own eyes and then make comparisons, and it is not too late to make evaluations.
