The world, so what?

I think it's as good as "House of Flying Daggers". Some movies really don't look at the plot, don't be so narrow. Zhang Yimou's use of mirrors is very characteristic: a fixed picture, rarely pushing and pulling the lens, like a grid of comics. The pictures are gorgeous and you can't fault the starring's acting (say Jet Li's facial paralysis, Excuse me?) Different colors of clothes represent different realms, is it difficult to understand? Red is the most superficial, it is restlessness, intrigue and desire, blue is rational, the protagonist begins to have a plan and division of labor, white is actually the ultimate, the core concept and ending of the film are finally attributed to this layer. Hidden fame, and death. Green was their first sight, and everything was still so alive-the idea of ​​assassinating Qin, their affection, also represented a kind of thorough understanding, and the feeling was also related to color science. When they entered the Qin Palace, they should have bleed thousands of miles. , but the protagonist is wearing green, which contrasts with blood red, a very subtle choice. Probably in front of Green, who represents vitality, there will be no killing after all.
This film can go to at least 8 points (sigh about the public aesthetics).
As for the core of the film, the world.
I'm a narrow-minded person who prefers to take revenge like the protagonist of The Count of Monte Cristo, or even lose everything like The Prince's Revenge. What does the common people have to do with me? But Can Jian wrote these two words with a sword on the sand, let go of his hatred for the fate of more people, and sacrificed his life for his lover. It was very noble, but also too sad. Think about it, what will happen to the world? Today, there is a chivalrous swordsman who sacrificed his life for justice, can the world really be at peace forever? Dynasties rise and fall, reincarnation is endless, whether the assassination of Qin succeeds or not, the people are suffering. And his lover, stabbing the sword to death, so what if he believed that he still loved himself? For the rest of her life, Feixue will either die alone or die in love like in the movie. Is it an ideal ending again? The utopia he initially promised never came true.
Because of the remnant sword, have you ever thought that your "world" is written on the sand, and when the wind blows, it ceases to exist; your lover is placed in your heart and stabbed with a sword, and it also scatters from the wound.
Finally, let me make a confession to the handsome Mr. Zhen, the immortal Man Yu who took off, the chic and melancholy Chao Wei who was stabbed five times (I couldn't help laughing at the back), the domineering Uncle Daoming, and Jet Li (really, Don't say he's expressionless, I'm afraid I haven't seen the real facial paralysis acting.)
