The picture is commendable. In terms of visual enjoyment, Chen Kaige showed his extraordinary strength to his old rival Zhang Yimou. The story, compared to the emptiness of "Hero" and the thinness of "Ambush on Ten Sides", Chen Kaige's love and lies are indeed much better. Chen Kaige used "THE PROMISE" to show the leap in the quality of Chinese movies. Not to mention the tranquility and beauty in "Mirror Flowers, Water and Moon", the "THE PROMISE World" constructed by combining the illusory world and the real scene in the film is definitely eye-catching.

In addition to the exquisite pictures, there are only a bunch of Shakespearean dialogues that have been clearly polished in the whole play. Every sentence seems to be full of philosophy, but at the same time it is dry and tasteless. One word: silly! Four words: Foolish mystery! It may be called "Sabi Dialogue" for short. There is no climax, no touch (it only touched the creator himself), and finally there is still a little entertainment. In the second half, the audience burst into laughter like "You ruined my chance to be a good person", and the sentence became more stringent. Funny, the theater was filled with joyful air in an instant. (by)
The fables rendered in the film are not as mysterious and profound as we imagined. At least the philosophy described by Triumph is built on a sad and funny love story. The appearance shuttles through the magical world of THE PROMISE, but the core is full of clichés. In this world, the dreams recalled in Guo Jingming's "Illusory City" are more sincere and touching than "THE PROMISE". ()
From a creative point of view, "THE PROMISE" worked very hard and spent much thought on the character setting, but it was far from the ideal effect. From the production point of view, "THE PROMISE" has pursuits and innovations, but too much Obvious failures have lowered the quality of the film. It is better to concentrate manpower and material resources to do a few things; from the perspective of actors, the actors of "THE PROMISE" are very dedicated, especially the two Japanese and Korean stars Duke Sanada and Jang Dong Gun in Chinese lines. However, under the guidance of Chen Kaige's consistent "dramatic" style, all the actors showed a certain degree of hysteria. ()
Summarizing "THE PROMISE", it is really magnificent and eye-catching. You can see how more than two billion yuan was burned. Chen Kaige's dedication is worthy of admiration. He wants to express his pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. The era is in desperate need, so "THE PROMISE" must be watched, and it will not make you laugh or cry. But in general, it is out of control, the plot cannot be prioritized, and the performance is too exaggerated. Some passages and dialogues are generally unreliable with Gao Xiaosong's "post-modern movie" "My Heart Flies", special effects and art The beginning of the film has greatly hindered the continuity and theme of the film.
