    It is like reciting Tang poetry, leaving blank everywhere, and the aftertaste is outside the painting; Qian Shaman shakes, the mirror is divided into luan shadows, and the heavy candle shadows set the heart; , The dark thunder is rolling, it can be said that the sound is loud and the sound is quiet and...

    Nie! hidden! mother! too! Cattle! force! The best Chinese movie since Detective. Also, the plot is well...

    3.5 While retaining the inherent aesthetic generation mechanism and trying his best to create a situational space for imagining the Tang Dynasty, Hou encountered an unprecedented predicament: the actor played the role under conditions that were quite different from the role. Action scenes that inevitably have to be presented positively are also very common. In this way, the whole situation is only relatively accurate/inaccurate, and the world like "Southern Kingdom" and "Flowers on the Sea"...

    I thought that a young literary and artistic youth who loved to pretend would love to die. In fact, it was because of my poor humanistic quality that I was impatient. And I always find Hou Hsiao-hsien stuff boring. The attendance rate is definitely the highest in history, my parents and my mother and I watched it together and scolded it from beginning to end. . It's really beautiful, one frame at a time, but I still think it's rotten, really...

    Zhang Zhen and Hu Xuanwu are worth two stars. I feel that the people who left in the middle of the show didn't have the right mentality. Didn't they first download Hou Hsiao-hsien's style on Baidu? Anyway, I walked into the movie theater with the mentality of "Wake me up with a Zhang Zhen drama". However, you can't blame them. If you love this style and think it looks good, don't you allow others to be bored? As for the tone of "Hou Hsiao-hsien represents Chinese films", forget...

    The ancient rhythm of the qin and zheng, the sound of the big sound is hopeful; the Qingluan mirror dance, the elephant is invisible. The pursuit of deliberately abandoning the plot to construct the artistic conception defends not only the dignity of Chinese-language films, but also a return to the true nature of film...

    The whole film is filled with drowsy long shots, too many shots are meaningless in my opinion, such as Nie Yinniang drinking medicine for her father and repeatedly sucking it four times. The plot is too thin, and the actors don't show much acting skills. It's just a silent landscape film and something like a storyline, but what's the use of the beautiful picture? After all, you are a movie. Telling a story well is not enough. I just don’t know where the praise...

    It's a mess of beauty, restrained and calm, silent, alienated, gorgeous, lonely, and the atmosphere is impeccable and cologne. But you don't know what he...

    [2.5] Successfully bypassed the wonderful brain-hole parts of the original work, leaving a blank space that represents the director's personal color. Frame after frame, the picture is invisible. Not a bad movie, but not a masterpiece. It's like a rice-making episode in the original novel, yes, it's a fan-made video edited by netizens many years...

    "I want to see this movie 2009-01-09", I finally saw it, but almost lost my words. Director Hou has seen all the previous films, and the audio-visual scheduling of several of them is even familiar, but this one is really familiar and unfamiliar... I probably couldn't write anything before the second brush. I felt that the box office was going to kneel, so I decided to watch it every day after it was released to support...
