      "The First King" Review: "An Understandable God Is Impossible"

      "If your God loves you will save you from the hungry beast"

      The epic film "The First King" tells the beginning of the great Roman Empire. A flood washed away the two brothers who were herding sheep. The brothers desperately tried to survive but were unable to withstand the natural disaster. They had to follow the current. They became slaves and became the tribute to their tribe. The two brothers were destined to be not mortals at the juncture of life and death. They were witty...

      The younger brother really won the lie...

      Try to figure out the director's intentions: this pair of brothers are deeply in love, and they can sacrifice their lives for each other in every crisis. My brother was brave, good at fighting and responsible, and led everyone through life and death to settle down. Later, because the priestess saw God's will: only one person is king, he challenged God, exiled the priestess, set fire to the village, and led the original team to leave. The younger brother loved the people,...

      anti-historical film

      2 stars. Originally, the subject matter of this movie was very appealing to me. But when I saw it halfway through, I couldn't stand it anymore. I had learned it in history class. It was the elder brother who killed the younger brother and established the city of Rome. Maybe the director was too sympathetic to his brother's experience, so he made this anti-historical film. The plot constantly emphasizes how much his brother pity and love his brother, and even extinguish the holy...

      trivial skin

      The killing is bloody, the tone is muddy, the actors are dirty from beginning to end, the whole atmosphere makes people feel the barbarism of ancient times, and the impeccable special effects show the director's intention and strength. However, the frame of the story is too simple, and I have to teach the viewers something, which is just trivial in history, similar to the scale of the village fight, and I have to distinguish the truth, the good and the beautiful; the witch looks really...

      Rome

      "The most popular legend about the origin of the city of Rome is this: after the Greek allied forces captured the city of Troy, the Trojan hero Aeneas led his troops to flee, and he came to Latium, Italy. Region. Aeneas was killed in a battle. His son Askania founded the city of Albaronga. From then on, the throne was passed down from generation to generation.

      7.5/10 Personally, I think this is a relic. The intertwined scenes of religion and war in the pre-classical civilization era have been portrayed quite well, and the myths and legends of the two brothers who founded the Roman state have been pulled down from the world and put together in an allegorical story. The choice of political path behind the historical truth is in place. Photography and fine art are nowhere to be seen. This film can be contrasted with "New World" and "Viking...

      The beginning was good, but it collapsed all the way to the end. The screenwriter simply didn't think about how to shape the characters, set up the scene, and advance the story. I spent more than an hour wandering in the woods. This kind of story of the next village and the next village fighting in groups is too embarrassing to say that it is the history of the founding of the Roman Empire? Also too cheap. Attempting to complete an epic at such a small cost is nothing short of a...
