Much prettier than "Hundred Birds Chaofeng"

Wu Tianming's representative work. I feel that "Hundred Birds and the Phoenix" are in the same line, and even the plot is similar, including fire and so on. Humanity in a chaotic world, chivalrous spirit, and most people write it too well. The best performer is the dog. Also a happy ending.
It looks much better than "Hundred Birds and the Phoenix". Wu Tianming's film was inferior before or after, just like Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" and other works. Sometimes you can't ask for more. Whether it's a director, a writer, or a musician, one (first) classic is enough!

    The film is really neat. The ambush of clues, the use of symbols, the expression of traditional culture, and the expression of other intentions that are not just the true feelings of the human world are all well rubbed together, and they complement each other without any intention. The puppy really has evolved into the hearts of the audience. Every sound of "Grandpa" is bigger than the cry of seven gourd babies. . One baby, one monkey, one boat, one craft, the face-changing king is enough. Living Guanyin is so beautiful.

    The most simple emotion, the most textured expression, simply but purely produces strong emotional power. Traditional Chinese craftsmanship, backward concepts of a specific era, ancient enthusiasm of people in troubled times, and mutual understanding forced by reality are all passed on to the viewers quietly and without trace, reaching people's hearts. The ingenious connection between the drama and the real situation in the film adds to the pathos. Not only Zhu Xu, I feel that every actor played well.
