It is still shocking to see the average score of nine points, which is too high. Although the domestic mainstream film critics all applauded, but I just want to give a 7 after reading it.
Not to mention the main advantages, there are many golden sentences, and the lines are very exciting. The actors are also doing well, although there are a lot of scenes that have issues with overly emotional intensity.
There are more disadvantages, mainly two:
1. The screenwriter and director chose to use real characters as prototypes, and undoubtedly danced on the tip of the knife. Therefore, in many places, they paid too much attention to the image and real experience of the original characters, and the direct consequence was that the characters were thin. Because of the nature of "half-character biography", the screenwriter and director are greatly restrained. If they can shake off their arms and get rid of the real experience and background of the original characters, it can be even more exciting.
2. The story is a bit confusing, the theme is unclear, and it cannot be justified. The first two episodes got off to a good start, the characters stood firm, and there were crises, but they collapsed in the middle. The next few episodes are literally repeating what the first two episodes have said - they're in pain, they're tearing up. The pain is not deeper, the tearing is not more advanced, so I feel that the quality of the film has been declining. I thought it would talk about feminism, or a deeper dissection of "the old enemy is not about hatred but from pain", but I was disappointed and didn't go in this direction, but went down a path of no idea, and finally tacky End with death.
There's a reason why it's nominated for so many awards but didn't win.
