    Very strange look. After watching the middle part, I felt a little tired from a lot of black scenes and fixed cards, but at the end, there was a strange aftertaste. Probably only Hou Hsiao-hsien would make martial arts films like...

    This five-star is sensible. Anyway, when I watch it, I feel that after watching such an art film that Hou Lao has spent ten years in, it is impossible for me to give it five...

    #Cannes Film Festival# The important thing is not the Tang Dynasty and poetry, but the important thing is that Hou Hsiao-hsien found the sense of ritual in Chinese films or Chinese culture through Nie Yinniang | 20160217 Film Archive Review + Master...

    This is a film that makes viewers self-doubt. Ten minutes into the film, everyone is hypnotizing themselves, "I want to integrate! I want to interpret!" By the time the film is halfway through, the audience's heart has collapsed, and they keep asking themselves, "Oh my God, am I an idiot? Why can't I understand it? !" Then there was obviously a little restlessness in the arena. Director Hou used his superb film technology to make a film with only feelings and no plot, roughly the...

    It's really boring, but it's really not ugly. It is not so much a movie as a picture scroll with a time dimension added, or a serial narrative painting in the Mogao Grottoes. Entering the museum to experience the beauty of a masterpiece handed down from time to time, ordinary tourists can roughly appreciate it with just two glances. Art lovers still feel the beauty of it for a while, while professionals are still immersed in it. And this film is obviously not good with only two eyes, but it is...

    Shooting martial arts in the way of Ozu, the old man marrying a woman and the chivalrous man returning to hermit have the implication of infinite life, and it is thorough except for the blank. But it's not perfect. The artistic conception of landscapes and other things is a foreigner's. There is no advantage to shooting a fighting scene like that except it doesn't look good. The script is not well written, the so-called classical lines are far from "Death of the Red Rabbit", and some Taiwanese...

    At the beginning, everyone hypnotized themselves "I want to blend in! I want to interpret!" By the time the movie was halfway, the audience's heart had collapsed, and they kept asking themselves "God, am I a stupid? Why don't I understand it!" After it was over, the audience looked relieved. Oh my god, I can finally go and spend money to buy a...

    As a fan of Hou Xiaoxian, there are negative directors for low scores; as a fan, there are negative movies for high scores. In the spirit of Ning Negative Hou Dao not worthy of the film, but still wanting to save Hou Dao's attitude, give him 2 stars. PS: The film is too noisy and it is hard to vomit. What the hell is this just saying that the actors in the play open their mouths and recite ancient texts? Before arty, ask Acheng Tianwen and other so-called cultural people to clarify the...

    A different Tang Dynasty, a different martial arts, Hou Xiaoxian not only refreshed the audience's inherent thinking and cognitive mode in these two aspects, but also let many mainland audiences know that the original movie can still be shot like this, and the graininess is legendary. Film sense. The story is deeply hidden, still has the approachable drama elements, and the style is hidden and hidden. It is suitable for such a Tang Dynasty story that cannot be documented to restore the details...
