"Ash Is Purest White" inherits Jia Zhangke's film's consistent focus on reality and the growth of ordinary people in real life and changes in circumstances. But in terms of the style of storytelling, the film pays more attention to the "glossy" and "beautiful" elements of the screen, and introduces the element of gangster movies. Previously, Jia Zhangke's films focused more on the documentary style and the downplay of the plot. The film has achieved a fascinating plot, greatly enhanced the drama, and the screen presentation method is more suitable for the audience. This is also a big step for Jia Zhangke's film to the market
.
The title of the film is "Ash Is Purest White", which is actually "Jianghu Daughter". Through the good times and bad times of a woman, and through her unsuspecting a man, the film tells the vain and scars of this era. In the film, Zhao Tao played a coincidence, a woman’s good time and bad time, joy, anger, sorrow and joy, and the separation of joys, sorrows and joys. Every look in the eyes of the actor, Liao Fan, is a play. In addition, it can be seen that Jia Zhangke has compromised with the market this time. The image of the film is closer to the industrial style, and even an action scene was filmed
