Watch "The Promise"

After watching this movie, I really don't know what to say. Before, I didn't have any expectations for the film itself (how could I have expectations for Chen Kaige), I just went to watch it and see what kind of tricks Yahua could make with more than 300 million yuan.
Today is the premiere day. The promotion of this film is really great. It is estimated that the box office will be good. Although it is not a weekend, the attendance rate of this film is very high and it is almost full. I sat in row 4 with Liu Hui and Zhao Feifei, and Rou and Zhou Qiao sat in row 6. The trailer before the film starts is "King Kong", which is very exciting to watch.
After watching "The Promise", I don't know what to say. If you ask if it is good, my answer is definitely not good, not good-looking, I need stimulation, and I can't meet my requirements at all, the special effects are too bad, and the details are even inferior to "Heroes" and "House of Flying Daggers". I won't say anything about the plot. Compared with "Heroes" and "House of Flying Daggers", the problem of lines is also prominent. In several places, the actors' silly lines made the audience laugh, such as "You are my idol!" "I am moved by you!", and one sentence "Don't die, live well!" is equivalent to "come back, for one person!" in "House of Flying Daggers". Xiao Xie's sissy is another laughing point. In short, this film will not have any breakthrough highlights. I don't even think it's as interesting as his own "Jing Ke Assassinate Qin".
After watching it, I miss the scene of watching "Kung Fu" last year, that kind of happiness and satisfaction. I watched it 8 times in this movie theater, and I was immersed in "Kung Fu" almost all winter, thinking about watching the premiere at that time. At that time, in the middle of the night, there were so many people. When the film started, the audience applauded. The atmosphere was so cool. At the same time as I was watching, Ye Qing was also watching in Xi'an. We texted each other in the cinema, and the film started simultaneously. Although not in the same city, it feels like we are together. I think a movie like "Kung Fu" is not only good, but also well spent. If I give Zhou Xingchi more than 300 million yuan, I believe he will make me feel dumbfounded.
