From the beginning to the end, I did not give a close-up of Mr. Chen. It was always a blurry avatar, or only a part of the body appeared, and even the advantage was only one voice, loud and majestic. The other men, except for Doctor Gao and the eldest son, did not have any special close-up shots of the men in this compound.
All of this is played out in a large mansion that has basically no contact with the outside world, except for the occasional entry into the city by the master, and the woman leaving the mansion. If you want to leave, there are only things like the third concubine's affair and the maid's serious illness.
The director created a depressing atmosphere in the process. Although there was intrigue, all of it was just to hang up the red lantern and make men like it. Personally, I think this is also the director's intention. feeling repressed. In this mansion surrounded by male power, they know a subordinate position and cannot escape.
Also, Gong Li's acting is really good
