The extreme of Zhang Yimou's photographic art is also the extreme of self-oriental morbid fantasy. It is not so much the Republic of China as it is the harem of the Ottoman Sultan. The director's name was changed to a famous Western artist, and it was not...

In the novel, Songlian's changes are due to the ancient well, but in the film, her changes are downplayed, and she is a strong woman from beginning to end. The image of the faded master, the master who shows his face from beginning to end (exposing his nipples) implies that the "invisible hand" is manipulating the living rules of the people in the yard, and all women are dependent on male power to survive. I actually remembered the poem "Some people are alive and he is dead, and some people are...

Turn on the lights, turn off the lights, seal the lights, what are people in this courtyard? Humans are just one breath away from ghosts, humans are ghosts, and ghosts are humans. You trick me, I trick you, from summer to winter, this is a story without...

A / A single text is not necessarily without flaws. There are several dramatic conflicts and clues that are set up deliberately, and the narrative of tragic reincarnation is inevitably a bit outdated from the current point of view. However, the regret of the text really proves Zhang Yimou's unparalleled audiovisual control in this work. The inner emotions of the characters are portrayed through a relatively static and stagnant space, which is the first layer of static actuation; and the complex...

The most depressing Zhang Yimou I've ever seen, a tragic undertone of complete despair, a perfect unity of form and content, and a special sense of ritual. In this film, Laomouzi's personal aesthetics have almost reached the extreme, with great visual impact The red lanterns, the turquoise eaves and the large snowfields... The unique folk culture of the East is everywhere, and the gloomy atmosphere is shrouded in this "haunted house" that can "eat people". The slightly exaggerated artistic...

First look on Blu-ray. The female perspective that truly fits the historical context, the strong and precise visual language, the interpersonal relationships presented by the actors' excellent performances, the social structure reflected by this, and the tragedies of the characters that eventually lead to it, no matter what Zhang Yimou goes on to the streets later. To a certain extent, his works at the peak of his career were literally dozens of streets away from children like Ang Lee (what...

Rewatch. Symmetrical aesthetics, simplifying narrative, stacking symbols, connecting virtual and real. The least favorite is the script, the most favorite is the photography. The classicism of fifth-generation directors. He Saifei's character is so...

In Su Tong's eyes, women are basically the image of low life, but in Zhang Yimou's eyes, they are Gong Li's all kinds of amorous feelings. A small courtyard has become her most gorgeous...
