"Promise" is actually a world full of fantasy, just like a utopia. And Chen Kaige just put the fate of all the characters in the "Wuji", allowing them to fight, fall in love, long for, disappoint, survive or die in it. The feelings in "Wuji" are also in our world, but those magical powers need to be improved by ourselves.
Let's talk about the story in "The Promise".
Any world is supported by a spirit, and everyone turns this spirit into a god. The god in "Wuji" is played by the role of Chen Hong. She inferred the occurrence of various things and also determined the fate of every character in "Wuji".
However, whether destiny can be changed depends not on the will of God, but on whether you have this desire to change your destiny. Your own destiny is in your own hands. As long as you choose to hold on tightly, even if you lose, it is just a practice to win.
No one can win always, so as long as you bet, no matter how small or big the bet is, please be prepared to fail. If you lose, you will admit it.
General Guangming refused to admit defeat, and bet again and again to take his life; Kunlun, the slave, was not afraid of losing, and came back from death to wear black robe for the beloved to span time; Assassin ghost wolf was very afraid of death, but in the end he chose to vanish; Princess Qingcheng did not dare to love , But still desperately loves the wrong person; North Duke has no joy and no one believes it. After all, he persists in realizing his dream and has to give up because of the end of his life...
If you want to say that this is a love story, then it is too superficial Now, those who tried to illustrate the troubles of confidantes even ruined this movie. Just like life, there is only one story in WHO's life? When a character cannot extricate himself in a tragedy, is it because of a small mistake? Qingcheng fell in love with his master because of the flower armor. It is sad that when she tells a lie and tries to save her lover, she realizes that there is another face under the same mask. She used a truth as a lie to save the person who thought she had saved herself, to harm the person who had saved herself.
The wonders of life often lie in mistakes. But the bright spot of life is because of the awakening of a flash of thought. The story is tragic, but the ending is hopeful.
I also want to talk about the characters in "The Promise".
General Guangming-self-righteous guy. You can think of him as losing all the idiots for a woman, but he has actually struggled to control his own destiny. Such a proud general would be a liar in order to get the love of a woman. In the face of love, dignity seems to be devalued.
Slave Kunlun-the last hope of the Snow Country. The slave will not stand, he will! So Ghost Wolf said he was not a born slave. He is willing to be a slave to the general for a simple reason: because he has meat to eat with him. It wasn't until Ghost Wolf told him that everyone in the Snow Country could run and run because of desire, that he began to understand himself and what he wanted. His love is also very simple, seeing that the person he likes is alive, he can laugh as clear as a winter snowflake.
Princess Qingcheng-for a woman who loves pain. The most stupid thing about women is to believe in others for the sake of believing in love. Allure just chooses to believe without hesitation. But her tragedy was precisely because the love she believed in was wrong at the beginning. When she dropped Kunlun and jumped onto the bright horseback to cross Kunlun's head with him, her happiness and Kunlun's sense of loss coincided with each other. Two people who are supposed to love each other can only look at love and cannot get love. Qingcheng's pain may be worth it, because the person who loved him in the end gave her a chance to choose again for her willingness to travel through time and space. Think about the movie's English name "The Promise". He said to her: "Don't die, but live well."
Assassin Ghost Wolf-betrayed his traitor. Liu Ye’s role is what I felt most strongly in the movie, because of him, I kept crying until the end. He is another main thread of tragedy. As a snow countryman, he was scorched by Wuhuan and put on a black robe in order to survive. But after he met Kunlun, he lived more like a Snowman. He finally chose to give up his life because of the flower armor. He said: He always felt that he did not feel sorry for anyone, but there was one person he was sorry for, it was himself.
The North Duke has no joy-a serious tragedy maker. He creates tragedy because he himself is the greatest tragedy. He just gave up the opportunity to be a good man because of a deceit by Qingcheng that year. He was heartbroken and crying, he laughed loudly, he held the golden finger gracefully, and even waved the fan in his hand, all so charming. This role is looking for our Jia Fengfeng to find the right person. He said: You can get everything you want in the world, as long as you are bad enough!
The last thing I want to talk about is of course director Chen Kaige.
Feng Xiaogang is not the only director who understands business operations, and Chen Kaige also knows this. It's just that everyone sees him full of confidence and thinks he is too high profile. For many people who are not optimistic about "Assassin", I already like it very much. Even the role of a little blind girl by Zhou Xun is so brilliant, I really don't know how those dislikes came from. The movie got so much criticism as soon as it came out that I didn't dare to watch it. Fortunately, I watched it. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of my admiration for Chen Kaige? ? !
