"Loyalty, filial piety, courtesy and righteousness" are all under power

Before watching this film, I can avoid everyone's comments, and I don't want to know any plot, I just want to go into the theater blank and let Lao Mouzi's strong color picture. Because it was Tuesday, and I found a new movie theater away from home to see, the price of 35 yuan was relatively affordable. At the beginning, there were only 5 people in the small field. Later, there were only 10 people in total. I like this quiet environment.

I cried twice in the whole play, the first time was the "Yiru" of the imperial physician insider, and the second time was Yuanjie's self-crisis. The tall boy sitting next to him was also wiping his tears with a scarf. When we got up and walked out, we smiled at each other.

The magnificent scenes of the film are not as shocking as the moral behind it. An extreme irony of the current social situation-"loyalty, filial piety, courtesy and righteousness" are all under power.
King-a symbol of power. Have a false "loyalty, filial piety, courtesy and righteousness" to show the world.
After-a symbol of emotion. Emotions can never defeat powerful power.
The prince is the king's last reservation of his humanity. Because of his incompatibility with the queen, the little prince's mind was distorted. Because of his "loyalty" and "filial piety", all subsequent plans were lost.
The second prince, he is "loyal" to his mother and "righteous" to his father. Between power and truth, choosing the latter can only end in tragedy. Because there is almost no such perfect choice in reality.
The little prince is "disrespectful", "unfilial", "unjust" and "unfaithful". This role warns the world that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked. The seedlings without good education can only bring evil results.

The last poison burned the center of the gorgeous table, and there was no one around. In fact, behind all the glitz is silence after all. Our life is like a prosperous chrysanthemum terrace after a fight.
Chrysanthemums are used by the Chinese to give to the dead. Zhang Yimou gave the chrysanthemum to "loyalty, filial piety and righteousness." I feel cold in my heart. After all, the warm golden yellow did not defeat the cold silver white. Power makes good use of black hidden weapons, despicable, nasty, and invisible means, making us shudder.
