First of all, a set of systems, or rules, and various senses of ritual were designed. Everything seems to be done according to the rules. As the biggest beneficiary and the culprit, the master plays the role of reconciling contradictions. As long as a few wives fight, it is inevitable to flatter the master. The master always holds the last law on the scale, and the wives will always be cruel to their opponents. , and never point the finger at the source of evil. Everyone was happy who the master cleaned up, but they forgot that it might be him who cleaned up next time. Whoever tries to adjust this system, because there are enemies around, will immediately expose and strike according to the rules. The housekeepers kill, but there is no guilt, because they all follow the rules. The last point, as the master said, you don't see anything, and what you shouldn't see, you don't see anything. To sum up, this is a set of system design that works almost perfectly, the master of iron and the wife of running water. The system referred to above is a bloody feudal system! We criticize it and spurn it! We have gone through a revolution, and after several generations of brave and bloody struggles, we finally broke the feudal system! Completed the historic struggle against imperialism and feudalism!

    A / A single text is not necessarily without flaws. There are several dramatic conflicts and clues that are set up deliberately, and the narrative of tragic reincarnation is inevitably a bit outdated from the current point of view. However, the regret of the text really proves Zhang Yimou's unparalleled audiovisual control in this work. The inner emotions of the characters are portrayed through a relatively static and stagnant space, which is the first layer of static actuation; and the complex characters' emotions are carried out with a large number of closed compositions, homogeneous color rendering, and a soundtrack of singing and sighing. Containment, which is the second layer of motion froze. The use of sound is particularly precise. The reference to reality and psychological space and the layered and blurred atmosphere rendering make the audience fall into an auditory space that is constantly being called and torn. In contrast, the so-called Chinese-style soundtrack of "Shadow" is really mediocre like a Wuliangye advertisement. / After watching "One Second": Zhang Yimou probably won't be able to make such a work again.
