The first-class ink and light and shadow effects, the elegant and delicate Guqin soundtrack, and the perfect combination of Chinese classical elements such as swords, calligraphy, pavilions, etc., bring super-class audio-visual enjoyment. In terms of content, the film takes the confrontation of yin and yang as a clue, the structure is complete and the hands and tails echo, and the characters' IQ is online throughout the whole process. Good reviews.
On the artistic level, I have always admired Zhang Yimou's spirit of bold experimentation and innovation. Although there have been criticized "Golden Armor in the City" and "The Great Wall", which failed in the same color scheme of the mountain village Yangko team, there were also excellent works such as "Wuji" and "Heroes" that were not understood by the audience at the time. With the improvement of their own cultural self-confidence and aesthetic ability, the audience will gradually get out of the stage of being accustomed to Hollywood-style aesthetics, and give objective evaluations to such films. The same is true for this film, which innovatively uses the ink painting style almost entirely in black and white, and the narrative style of "freehand blank". For this attempt to integrate Chinese classical aesthetics and philosophy into the film, we should still have an open and tolerant attitude.
And then spit out a few shortcomings. First of all, the basic martial arts skills of Hu Jun and Deng Chao are really not good. The director has tried his best to cut the fighting scenes into short shots and partial close-ups, but it is still difficult to conceal the cumbersome, monotonous and weak martial arts movements. Secondly, Deng Chao's acting skills need to be improved urgently. Every time he sees his empty and pale eyes, he will play in minutes. And whenever I encounter a scene that needs to express strong emotions, exaggerated facial expressions burst out, smearing my face...
In short, the flaws are not concealed, and the 9 points are praised. PS. I really want to slap the dog face of the first short comment. If you want to criticize his acting skills, you can say that Zheng Kai criticizes Deng Chao, Guan Xiaotong and Wu Lei, who have only a few scenes in total, what does it mean? Have you seen the movie?
