In the film, Chen Kaige presents another side that I did not expect and is completely different from the Yingzheng in the history books. He uses wildness to cover up the fragile side, and digs into the emptiness and cowardly side of his heart. Behind the so-called eternal emperor The side of a little boy frightened by reality, spoiled by power and violence. The performances and lines of the actors and actresses in the whole movie are highly staged, mad, joyful, and exaggerated, showing a deliberate sense of alienation and simple poetry. And Li Xuejian, who carried the whole film on his own, turned out to be such an outstanding actor. When other actors were still playing Qin Shihuang, he was the only one who played Yingzheng. "Jing Ke Assassinated King Qin" once again shows us that Chen Kaige's interest in life-oriented narrative is lackluster, he is crazy about the unforgettable emotional intensity, and has a high degree of distrust of history. What he shoots out is the ambition of reshaping history. And the heroism, sorrow, emptiness, madness that he always loves to tell, the personal dying struggle with humanity inward, and the epic war on the world outward—this struggle is in the eyes of Chen Kaige, and it must be like Sisyphus. Endless as a stone.

A very gossip film. (If Gong Li's scene is deleted, the film can give a higher score)
