Why is the rating so low? I didn't expect it, I thought at least passing should have. So I'm going to brush up on the rating!
Don't gibberish about the shape, the barrage has been brushing ball ball ball ball ball ball ball, and it's still silent in the middle of watching the movie. In fact, I personally think that although the room layout is too tacky, and the costumes are so golden... The Tang Dynasty costumes in my impression are still mainly exquisite embroidery...
The most dispensable and indispensable thing about this movie is the palace people, who are simply a group of shadows. Collect the corpse, collect the corpse, clean it up. During the whole process, not a single palace servant was so frightened that his face turned pale or squeaked, his head bowed and his body was neat and orderly. How skilled it is. The more it is like this, the more creepy it is. A fireworks sound in the distance, which is a prosperous age of singing and dancing. It's just that under this seemingly lively and jubilant scene, how many bones are still not cold? They were abandoned by the era, victims of the struggle for power. I have to compare it with the current domestic antiquity dramas. You can see that the maids in the time-travel dramas are very talkative in front of their masters. ? ? In the end, if you sing the opposite of the emperor, you can still get the emperor's favor. Oh my god, so bad movies have to be compared. In such a comparison, Golden Armor's portrayal and description of various aspects of the power struggle should not be too arrogant.
Contrasted with the indifference and obedience of the palace servants, it was the Empress and Chu Chan. They were two women who wanted to find relief, and the queen knew that she was wrong. But the emperor did not love himself, and there was no one in the palace to talk to. In the loneliness without emotional sustenance, he had an adultery with the eldest prince. (She really loves the eldest prince, not just for a moment of entertainment)
Compared with other people, Chu Chan, because she is not familiar with the cruelty of the rules and the coldness of the world, seems to be a little human, like a girl who has a longing for love and pursues true love. But she is not stupid, she is a little cautious, and maybe love also has some utilitarian elements. But she is also infatuated with the prince.
But the courage of the queen, her contempt for fate and the courage to not admit defeat, are really admirable. From the very beginning, she told the cowardly eldest prince to change all of this. Later, in the confrontation with the emperor, I also said that I knew I would lose, but I still wanted to do this. It may sound like a mad woman, but I think she would rather die in a fight like this than be suffocated and slaughtered. This is where she is fundamentally different from the prince.
The prince has no ambition and is weak and incompetent. The deprivation of the crown prince was an understatement. He likes a gentle and pretty girl like Chu Chan, a woman who coaxes him into a happy township. It's not the queen who shows him a cold face every day. Sometimes the queen is still aggressive, like a mad woman. It's strange that he doesn't show affection. But I think if the queen is a man, it must be more promising than this prince. I don't know why so many people love this prince. The emperor loves his first wife, so it's okay to love Wu Jiwu. The queen and Chu Chan have bad eyes. . . Maybe there is no other man in the palace.
In short, after chatting for such a long time, the ending is a bit interesting. I finally understand why the emperor gave Yuan Jie the crown of the crown prince. The crown is too painful. Not at all, isn't Jiangshan going to be finished in his hands? Sure enough, the old emperor's favorite is his country! ! !
The ending was unexpected. Originally, I thought, could it be that Yuanjie gave in to the old emperor? Could it be that this film is meant to satirize the dark side of human nature at the end? Is it to make fun of the test that the truth can't help but suffer?
In the end, when Yuanjie knelt down, I thought he was going to kneel down and ask his mother to drink medicine. As a result, it wiped the neck in the next second. To be honest, that moment was indeed a heroic poem, extremely romantic. This is in stark contrast to the choice the emperor made when he was young, a man who would not hesitate to hurt the person he loves for the sake of power. A person who is willing to give up his rights, even his life, for the person he loves the most.
The queen was full of grief and anger, and finally threw the medicine. There was Yuanjie's blood in this bowl of medicine. In the end, the blood was spilled on a sculpture of a dragon and a phoenix playing a pearl, and it happened to be spilled on the content of the middle. I wondered if it was possible Is the director trying to metaphor that Yuanjie is the victim of the power struggle of the queen and emperor? Or is it that Yuanjie is what the queen really cherishes, but she ruins what she actually wants most?
In short, the final result is indeed what I want to see, compared to those that are too realistic. I still like the bias towards this romantic bleak ending. The indifference of the emperor and their "sentimentality" always formed a strong contrast. This makes the tragedy even more tragic and makes their true feelings seem trivial. But at least they resisted in the end, resisted thoroughly, and lost a crushing defeat. The emperor also lost everything except rights, and in the end, the emperor also lost. Although the love under this power struggle is quickly buried, it is still difficult to ignore and deeply moving.
There are really many small faults in this film. If it weren't for the generous + big scenes + good acting skills, maybe it would really be criticized as a bad film and never turn around. But the final scene is truly beautiful, and for a split second all its flaws are forgotten.
Okay, after that, pick a point that I don't like very much. It's this film, why does it feel like a Western culture? Maybe I'm thinking too much, but it always feels weird.
But I still think it can pass, about 6:5 to 7 points... After all, there are so many bad domestic films now, and the previous ones are considered conscience today.
