Perhaps, many things are meaningless at first, but we, spending money and time, always want to explore some meanings, otherwise we can't judge whether it is worth it or not.
After thinking about it for a long time, I can't think of the value.
Since "The Promise", I haven't been in a movie theater ("Mo Gong" is not counted, it is not seen in a formal theater), for "Golden Armor", the expectations have dropped and dropped, not including expectations, but after watching it, it is still Feeling tired and dazed.
In the end, what do you want to say?
The story
follows the story frame of "Thunderstorm"? - This is the key word in the propaganda. But, don't say it, this is just the body of "Thunderstorm", not the soul. "Thunderstorm" has a clear theme and distinctive characters, but in "Golden Armor", it becomes a chaos.
The practical significance of "Thunderstorm" is needless to say. The confrontation between labor and capital, complex emotional entanglements, feudal patriarchs and young people who yearn for freedom, love, resentment and hatred, and tragic endings are all full of contagion, and "Golden" What about "A"? Who is the square? Who is the opposite? Who represents justice? Who represents evil? Wang is undoubtedly the opposite and is undoubtedly evil, but Wang also seems to be innocent. His wife fell in love with her son, "Have you ever thought about me?" It was also very painful.
In "Thunderstorm", death is accidental, and in "Golden Armor", perhaps because of the manipulation of power, people are killed at every turn. The death of several protagonists, either by piercing the heart with a sword or by slashing the neck, seems to have a reason for death, but, what about all the living beings? The golden warriors and the silver warriors seemed to appear to die, and they died like that... indescribable.
When Yuan Jie stood up from the pile of corpses, it was really surprising - the two armies faced each other, swords and guns were blind, and even innocents would be injured, let alone a person caught in the battle? As for the Silver Party, someone said "Don't hurt Prince Jie" first. If you want to walk up to Prince Jie, it's reasonable not to hurt him. Does Jian Yu know Prince Jie?
The duel between the king and the queen cost a few lives, Wang loves Yuanxiang, but isn't Yuancheng his own son? Why kill him with his own hands? As for the queen, it is incomprehensible. Even if she loves Yuanxiang and Yuancheng, she should have the love of mother and son, why should she abandon him and let him die under the king's hands-even if it can't be saved, based on the mother's psychology of protecting the young Protection should be applied. Moreover, he clearly expected Yuanxiang to inform the king of her plan, and did not stop Yuanjie, pushing Yuanjie to death. If we talk about the love of father and son, the king has Yuanxiang, but Yuanjie has a vague feeling, but Yuancheng seems to have none (although he has seen Yuanjie so lovingly); if it is mother-son love, the queen has Yuanjie. , to Yuan Cheng seems to have nothing from beginning to end. ——Even if it is a palace drama, this arrangement is also artificial, right?
The only family affection is reflected in Jiang Chan's family. Husband and wife love, father-daughter love, mother-daughter love. But they all died so miserably. Madam Chiang was walking in the forbidden palace wearing night clothes. It was incomprehensible. As Madam Chiang, she could actually walk in the palace swaggeringly. As long as it was called by the queen, who would dare to stop her? Of course, in that case, it would not be easy to cause a conflict with Yuanxiang, and it would not be easy to see the king.
The character Jiang Chan is not cute, she is not like Sifeng, she is innocent and innocent. When her slender hand threw the grass aconite into the medicine, she was actually involved in the palace conspiracy. In fact, if this person is innocent and innocent. Evil, the tragic effect is more obvious - Imperial Physician Jiang is also an accomplice in this.
Jiang Chan is only a little palace maid, and she knows a lot. less credible.
A story full of holes, too lazy to continue.
Scenes
Zhang Yimou is used to winning with scenes and colors. Naturally, this film is still rich in color, but it is too much.
The splendor of gold and jade in the eyes makes people dizzy. It would be great if they could do some subtraction, but unfortunately, Director Zhang seems to be wholeheartedly moving all the eye-catching colors into it. It seems that it is not enough to show the luxury of the palace. Those who have been to the Forbidden City should know that the real palace is not at this level. ——The aesthetic ability of the royal family cannot be underestimated. Of course, the upstart emperors of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms may not have cultivated well.
Those chrysanthemums, golden armor, silver armor, golden and red pillars... those palace maids, eunuchs, pharmacists, hordes of killers, and troops lined up in a row, that's all silver, 360 million, spent in real, eye-catching As far as I can, luxury. ——A little less, it may be able to form a better impact on the eyes, but now I just worry too much, aesthetic fatigue.
In addition, there is a large amount of blood. Against the background of red and yellow, this visual impact is very strong, but it is very uncomfortable. What do these dead people represent? Warn people not to challenge the power, otherwise there is only a dead end? --unknown.
From the perspective of project management, it must be admitted that the director's ability is super strong, scheduling so many people, preparing so many chrysanthemums, preparing for battles, etc. This requires careful planning in advance and strong execution. However, there is also a question: is the palace big enough? Can accommodate so many people? Chrysanthemums have to be stored in advance, right? Otherwise, where do the eunuchs go to get it? Or is it that Wang Ruo is a god, so he has made a reserve in advance, including explaining to a group of people, etc. As long as the war stops, he will immediately start cleaning and refurbishing? Otherwise, how can the efficiency be so high? - Of course, this scene is still meaningful - after washing away the traces of blood, it was immediately covered up as if it had never happened, which fully reflects the turning of the hand for the cloud and the rain for the hand.
The bright spots
are not to say that there are no bright spots. Three places. In addition to the above-mentioned cleaning square and then laying the red carpet, there are three other places.
One is that Jiang Taiyi's family was chased and killed, and Mrs. Jiang turned back and shouted "Yi Ru", which was really heart-rending. As mentioned in the previous episode, she was rescued by Imperial Physician Jiang, so marrying him, in addition to being grateful, living together for many years, must also be a deep love between husband and wife, which is fully reflected in this statement.
One is Yuan Jie's suicide. When Yuan Jie knelt down, his heart immediately froze, thinking that he had given in and chose to live a life, so he persuaded the queen to take medicine. But the result was like this, after the shock and pain, it was also relieved. Some struggles had to be at the cost of death. When Jie died, the king lost because there was no successor. In this way, Jie expressed his unyielding expression.
One is the queen pouring medicine, this scene is extremely beautiful, it goes without saying.
As for props, the glass bowls are outstanding - perhaps because of my preference for glass.
The whole city is full of golden armor, and the golden armor is dripping with blood. This is the overall impression.
