Tonight I watched Zhang Yimou's great new work "Shadow". I watched it on iQIYI, but I didn’t dare to go to the cinema, because Master Zhang’s literary films have surpassed the cognition of normal human beings since the beginning of “Wuji”. This film is told in the background of the Three Kingdoms, and I dare not watch it in the cinema, because I am afraid that Liang will blind my custom-made titanium alloy dog eyes.
Sure enough, Director Zhang's view of history is comparable to the brain hole created by the Big Bang. Let me restore the story and tell it with the names of real people in the Three Kingdoms.
It is probably said that Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou, and Zhou Yu had been secretly planning to retake Jingzhou, and planned to recapture Jingzhou and then seek to usurp the throne and take Sun Quan instead. He was injured due to the duel with Guan Yu (-_-!!!), so in order to hide from the public, he found a substitute for his activities, and the substitute code was "Shadow". Then the shadow made an appointment with Guan Yu again, and actually secretly planned to attack Jiangling City. On the surface, Sun Quan did not hesitate to give up Jingzhou for the sake of the Sun-Liu Alliance. In fact, he was secretly planning to retake Jingzhou, and he planned to kill Zhou Yu, who was too big for his tail after retaking Jingzhou. So Sun Quan asked Guan Yu's son Guan Ping for marriage for his sister Sun Shangxiang, and accepted Guan Ping's offer to make Sun Shangxiang his concubine (ˉ▽￣～), which made Guan Yu paralyzed and sent 30,000 main force to the middle of Shu to support Liu Bei. Eight hundred personal soldiers defended the entire Jingzhou (-_-!!!) and then the shadow went to Jiangling to single out Guan Yu. Huang Gai took the opportunity to take 100 dead soldiers to attack Jingzhou, and Sun Shangxiang was among them. In the end, Sun Shangxiang and Guan Ping perished together. Guan Yu was killed by the shadow and Jingzhou was recovered by Soochow. Then Zhou Yu sent assassins to try to kill the shadow, but Huang Gai had sold Zhou Yu to Sun Quan, so Sun Quan knew the truth long ago. He also sent his confidants to kill him. The assassin sent by Zhou Yu rescued the shadow and planned to kill Zhou Yu and let the shadow continue to act as a substitute. In addition, he found out that Lu Su was bought by Guan Yu, so he killed Lu Su himself, but he did not expect Zhou Yu to kill all the assassins sent by Sun Quan. Disguised as Sun Quan's personal soldiers to kill Sun Quan, then the shadow killed Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan died.
Probably the plot is like this, but why do I feel that the history of Wu State in the Three Kingdoms that I know is a bit different? Always feel like I read a fake Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Lu Su didn't even buy Cao Cao's receipt, and Guan Yu fought for the meeting with Guan Yu and sent troops to capture the two counties of Jingnan. Is it actually Guan Yu's undercover? I can't hold down Lu Su's coffin board anymore......
No wonder there are reports that the original script is called "Three Kingdoms - Jingzhou" Director Zhang is afraid that the audience will have opinions and change it to a virtual history. It is not a matter of audience opinions. If the script is hung with the name of the Three Kingdoms, it will definitely make the audience scolded as shit. .
Although it is a virtual history, it still describes the history of ancient wars in China. Director Zhang completely ignores the fact that it will distort the history and mislead the young people today. The level of random fabrication is still eye-opening for me. The Grand Governor was defeated by Yang Cang and returned. He didn't want to use his troops to defeat Yang Cang on the battlefield. He was thinking about how to defeat Yang's swordsmanship in a duel, so I don't know whether this is a war movie or a martial arts movie. Those who don't know Chinese history think that the war between the two countries in ancient China was just like the most chaotic period of Japan's Warring States period, when two village chiefs fought with a crowd. You must know that if the brave general is surrounded by a hundred soldiers who are not afraid of death with shields, it will be a dead end. You have already broken the Jingzhou City. At this time, the army is afraid that it will not be able to kill a Yang Cang?
In addition, Yang Cang sent 30,000 troops to support the lord, leaving only 800 soldiers. In ancient times, an area that required 30,000 troops to guard was definitely not something that the 800 troops could guard, no matter how elite the 800 sergeants were. possible. If 800 elites can guard it, why would you put 30,000 troops? are you crazy?
And how close is Jingzhou to the capital of Peiguo? The Governor went to celebrate his birthday yesterday and came back today? Could it be that he went by private jet? I remember that there was a British best-selling author, Calvin Yika, who was so anxious for half a year that readers asked him why he was constipated. He said that he didn't know how to push the protagonist to a place where the plot could be advanced. In front of Director Zhang, this is not a problem at all. It's really a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day.
In short, this is definitely not the history of ancient Chinese wars, at most it is Director Zhang's personal rhapsody. Although the acting skills of the actors and the pacing of the plot are in place, the overall story structure is so nonsense that I can only give it one star.
