First of all, the storytelling of this movie is unqualified. It is very normal for ordinary audiences to fall asleep watching in the movie theater. The cause and effect of many things cannot be explained at all. How did the mirror-grinder suddenly appear [bye bye]
Second, the lines seem to be funny I, this vernacular language is mixed with a few Ru, which is nondescript. The problem is that even with this kind of pediatric lines, the actors are still stuttering, and it is obviously wrong to break the sentence in many places. Shu Qi's weak lines are simply unbearable, but Zhang Zhen and Zhou Yun are much better. Shu Qi doesn't have any chivalrous air, and when she confronted Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun was obviously more resilient and her aura was crushed. Taoist nun Zhang Zhen and Zhou Yun performed better than Shu Qi.
Again, the whole film has a variety of winds from beginning to end. There are obvious traces of imitating Kurosawa Akira, but it is smaller than Kurosawa Akira, and the Tang Dynasty, which is much grander than Japan, behaves like this, which is also amazing. When I finally cursed and killed Ji Concubine, I thought I had traveled to Genji Monogatari or Onmyoji, and I was about to roll my eyes. The clothes the ladies wear are the modified Chinese version of the Twelve Singles, but the people of the Tang Dynasty do not wear such coats, thank you. Even when Hu Xuanwu wears it so heavy, how do you turn it? Please ask Hou Hsiao-hsien to see the rule of Zhenguan and see how the people of the Tang Dynasty should be walking, living, sitting, and lying down, and the minister's sitting posture cannot bear to complain. Then he complained again, why would an assassin have a disheveled hair, not to say that this is a barbarian dress, is it easy to be an assassin with disheveled hair?
In a word, this movie has a small family spirit from beginning to end, and it has no feeling of the Tang Dynasty at all. Even in the late Tang Dynasty, it is not such a small and fresh sense of obscurity. I hope that Wanwan will stop using Chinese themes as gifts to Japan!
