What intriguing details are there in "Shadow"?
Detail 1: The first shot of Xiao Ai and the shadow when they were resting. The governor made a scar on the shadow in the secret room, and then the shadow and Xiao Ai walked out of the secret room to sleep. There is a scene where Xiao Ai is given a rest first, and then the shadow is given. These two scenes are dark on both sides and there is no other scene. The two people seen are in the center of the line of sight, and the two people occupy a very small area of the entire scene frame. In...

What intriguing details are there in "Shadow"? Conjecture of the ending: Jingzhou is king
In "Shadow", Zhang Yimou used his unique visual taste to create a cold and dark world with misty rain, mountains and deep valleys, and infatuated with trickery for us. There is no color in the whole film, only black and white and gray, but it does not affect the expression of emotions in the picture at all: ethereal, oppressive, intense, cold, warm, cruel.
Tai chi yin yang,...

Zhang Yimou's history is always different from that of normal humans
Tonight I watched Zhang Yimou's great new work "Shadow". I watched it on iQIYI, but I didn’t dare to go to the cinema, because Master Zhang’s literary films have surpassed the cognition of normal human beings since the beginning of “Wuji”. This film is told in the background of the Three Kingdoms, and I dare not watch it in the cinema, because I am afraid that Liang will blind my custom-made titanium alloy dog eyes.
Sure enough, Director Zhang's view of history is comparable to the...

Ziyu lost and Jingzhou did not win
Nine points and one point are deducted for the plot is too natural and the conflict is too superficial. It is the best movie in the recent theaters. It is the greatest disrespect to the director to disagree with every one or two star film review that is not objective enough.
The plot is a very simple story with very linear logic, so every reversal can be guessed, but the fullness of the actors' acting skills and the hardware of the national teacher make these reversals freely...

Without these two words, "Shadow" will never be able to talk about Chinese aesthetics
Is "Shadow" an aesthetic advancement of Zhang Yimou? Regrettably, it is not.
Since Venice, "Shadow" has started to sell "Chinese aesthetics" with icons such as ink, yin and yang, and Tai Chi. The public's response is also estimated to be very similar to Zhang Yimou's intention. It is generally said that he has abandoned the large color block and high-purity explosion aesthetics of the "Golden Armor" era, and obtained nutrients from the traditional Chinese visual...

1. Zhang Yimou has successfully created a world of classical China that is far better than the imagination of his previous works. Instead of blindly pursuing grandeur and glamour, he has made a complete breakthrough in himself. 2. The rewriting of the fusion of symbols and artistic conception of Chinese culture: black and white and gray ink images and clothing, blood stains in gray. The Taiji diagram in the hazy rain and fog, the confrontation between the umbrella and the knife, the synergy of...

It's not an art film in essence, it's still a genre film, but it should be Zhang Yimou's best film since "Hero". I'm quite curious, why everyone pointed at Tsui Hark's Transformers-style stacking special effects and said "so imaginative", the design and use of the Pei Umbrella in this film is beautiful and paradoxical, is this the imagination?...

The blood in the film is a little uncomfortable, the black and white ink painting is beautiful, the story is quite simple, and the sense of proportion of several main characters is well received. I didn't expect Deng Chao to make himself green in the film. Young and beautiful is not bad, Zheng Kai praised it, but Wu Lue's lines are not good. Wang Qianyuan's lead dance is soft and weird, and wants to...

Zi Yu: They say a pup taken at birth can find its birthplace by tracing the scent.
Xiao Ai: Some things don't have a right or wrong. What's done is done.
Zi Yu: Without the real, there can be no shadow. A principle no one's understood.
