The adaptation of the film, which is loyal to the original work, did not perform well, the most profound and heaviest thing in the original work. The most important reason is that the director exerted too much effort, and the result was just a formality. The music is still Alexander, although the composition is somewhat self-repetitive, the music itself is good. However, they have all been overused. However, the constant alternation of large panoramas and close-ups, the use of slow motion, and the various emphasis on light sources indoors and outdoors make people weary. Coupled with the symphony from beginning to end, and some plots that don't require a lot of writing, it makes people feel lengthy.
The film is protracted and lengthy, the shots are inefficient, and the performances of the two leading actors are always lacking in roundness and persuasiveness. The original novel explores the dilemma of human nature. The happiness of some people is inevitably the pain of others. A subject that might have been photographed in depth is ultimately a superficial statement and display. Numerous facial close-ups and close-ups of the upper body, as well as meaningless superfluous memories, make it difficult for people to enter the story's emotions, whether it is narrative, lens language, or character creation. The film musician Alexander Depra made the soundtrack for the film, but unfortunately it did not achieve the expected results. Although the huge soundtrack did its best to exaggerate the climax and passion, it could not save all of it, and it showed its own narrative weakness.
The film is a tear-jerking historical romance. The theme of love, responsibility and destiny is very heavy, but the film’s fine production and starring performances sublimate the theme.
The film’s beautiful camera lens, excellent actors’ acting skills, and gloomy tone, the film was largely dragged down by the director’s deliberately arranged contrived and unnatural factors.
The film ended up showing too many serious transitions and transitions. The dark part of the film is good, but if you keep some of the bright parts, the film will be more contagious.
The film provided the same degree of pain and depression, and wanted to be an elegant sitcom, but in the end it was overwhelmed by too much emotional processing.
The film is stuck between costume drama and sentimentalism, allowing the audience to feel the beauty in its music and scenes, but forgets to create something that can really touch the audience's emotions.
