Photography and lens design – photography is very particular, but that’s all. Different The frontal shot of the character in shot size, the close-up of the character salon with super shallow depth of field, and the repeated close-up of the cut are all impressive, which is somewhat different from the hero. The interesting thing is that Zhang Ziyi's acne suddenly disappeared in the close-up. No. Even the show.
Editing – I felt a little rushed at the beginning, but after that it felt very simple and straightforward.
Scene design – The transition of the scene reminded me of playing a video game machine, and then I switched to the next scene after passing the level. There is also the whole film There is no provision for the embellishment of the scene. I believe it is not too difficult to adapt it into a stage play.
The computer effect – the flying knife and arrows continue the hero's skills, the effect is not bad, but for some reason, the effect of flying bamboo is particularly poor, to achieve The level of laughter.
Martial arts design - two-person solo fight is nothing new, but the siege of fast capture is impressive.
Art costumes - very gorgeous and dazzling. With a lot of close-ups, it seems to tell the audience: "Look, I do How beautiful!"
Music - I don't know if it's the tune or the singer, the ballad is really ugly.
Actors - A lot of close-ups allow the actors' facial expressions to have a lot of room to play. Several protagonists are just right. Zhang Ziyi's Falling shoulders is still very tempting.
Script – this is the most scolded place in a Chinese film professor’s article I’ve seen online. After half of the mainstream Chinese movies, society has higher requirements for him. This time Andy Lau played the role of an undercover court hunter without dying, which can also be regarded as a breakthrough in Chinese movies.
All in all, the skills in all aspects are generally unified in style, and they still play a role in the congenital defects of the script, maintaining a certain viewing value. When watching a movie, I unconsciously ask for a more generous script. But if you expect each new work to surpass the previous one, you will be disappointed and overestimate Zhang Yimou.
