Mainly because I can't see anything new. The strangeness of the Tang Dynasty was made into a realistic palace fighting drama. "Sorrowful City" uses local dialects with sincerity and sincerity, and Tang Dynasty stories use classical Chinese dialogues and opera performances. The buildings are all Japanese-style, with dry bars and moss logs, and Japanese-style Chinese-style and bronze utensils are mixed, plus the music of the African primitive tribal style made by the French, the whole is a...

It is not the best as imagined, nor is it comprehensively innovative. Taking his own works as a reference, I personally think the closest one should be "Coffee Time". But the release of Hou Hsiao-hsien in mainland theaters is still of great significance. It will never be able to please most people, but for some young people who love movies, if such a window is opened sooner, it may be sooner. Suddenly, I found out that there is such a sky one...

Jingmei, the soundtrack, art, and costumes (although most of them are of Song and Ming styles, but they are close to regular Hanfu) are good. The script is not as good as the original, and the director didn't want to shoot Tang Legend's temperament, but just wanted to shoot his own "artistic film". The rhythm is deliberately slowed down, the form is greater than the content, and the original good story is wasted. In terms of action, if you feel that the so-called "realistic" fighting in the...

Shu Qi's expression of forbearance and subtle changes, the figure hiding behind the veil and the expressionless figure, as well as the phrase "seven injustices for me" made me cry. Everyone is lonely, and like Qingluan, he can only treat the other self in the mirror as the same kind. In the end, the cheerful figure of the cheerful mirror-wearing boy and the faintly visible smile of Yin Niang from afar were really nice. Lin Qiang's soundtrack is...

Ah, it's been months since I watched The Godfather last time I've been in a movie theater with a heart beating like it's about to fall out. I really feel sad, everyone lives in their own cages, not only human relations but also bound by themselves, so loneliness seems to be unsolvable. Like the movie itself. In fact, after watching it, I didn't feel the kind of adoration I imagined, but I was very sad, and the picture seemed to become the emotion...

Stuffing meaningless or even unfilmed things into an empty shell, relying entirely on the glory of Hou Dao's previous works, hard gilding such a pile of broken cotton wool, and hard praise of filial sons and grandsons can't change the bad nature of the filming. Because he is Hou Hsiao-hsien, he should have done...

The best Chinese of the year, and possibly the best of the year. The water vapor is in the sky, and the vast smoke waves are endless. The freehand brushwork is invisible, and the movement and stillness are appropriate; the waves are cloudy and strange, and the whole film is hidden, just like Yao Qi's loneliness. Just stick to Hou Hsiao-hsien's way of shooting, turn your back to the audience, and be...

The visual part is very beautiful, but the audio-visual language is almost completely out of touch with the narrative and emotions. In addition, a few actors have poor articulation skills. After reading it, I can only understand rationally what the director wants to do~ Just watch it as a love. It can be a little moving~ and, the result of disdain for narrative is that half of the oriental audiences without culture are confused about the characters and relationships, and it is only when a bunch...

Reconstructing the modernity of Chinese movies, using minimalist brushwork to outline the ancient rhythm of Tang style, the viewing camera position matches the long scroll angle of view, more hidden than obvious, nothing is better than existence, candlelight, green luan jade, gorgeous atmosphere, restraint in the bones , visiting the ancients to explore the secluded, searching for heroes and asking, wrapping the legendary skins to compose prose...

【Broadway Center Mainland First Screening】The picture is unparalleled beauty. Each frame can be cut off as a desktop. Hou Hsiao-hsien did not need CG and color grading, and used film to capture magnificent mountains and rivers and gorgeous silk. And ruthlessly cut out all the slightly flawed shots. That's why the picture is so shocking and pleasing to the eye! As for the plot, I hope you read the movie synopsis before watching the movie! Completely spoiled, clarify the relationship between the...
