Good themes, first-class actors, second-class directors, third-class scripts

The only bright spot of the film is the subject matter. Shanghai in the 1930s and 1940s has always been something I am very interested in learning about.
There are very few good films that can truly show the history of Shanghai at that time. The Countess is pretty good in that regard. It may be comparable to Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun".
The scenes in the film deliberately depict the luxury and openness of Shanghai in the 1930s. It shows the living conditions and social status of...

That memory was just a flash, and the elegant music behind it was the symbol of their era - it's gone, it's not what it used to be, it's a bit red mansion The artistic conception that Cao Yin didn't have time to write in the second half.

Possibly because of the oriental background and historical reasons, the love between the hero and heroine has an oriental subtlety and forbearance. The soundtrack and songs in the film include a male protagonist listening to a song on the radio, Mr. Wu.

Like the heroine's daughter watching the mirage in the kaleidoscope, and then, just like that,...

betrayal of kinship

Yesterday, I went back home and repaired it, but my room is still the same. When I saw the movie that my mother ordered for me on the table, I suddenly realized that I should make some time for my hobbies, do nothing every day, watch movies, thank you for the movie review, and share your feelings.

The dust settles

He is the blind American diplomat, Jackson; she is the declining Russian noble countess, Sophia. In the bustling and noisy international city of Shanghai, James Ivory always likes to tell us a story slowly in the background of such a heavy vicissitudes of life.

The story is told very lightly. There are two situations in which the passage of time will not feel: one is too exciting, and the other is too tasteless. The style of old Shanghai is really worth...
