Witte, Reivew on Vatel

The extravagance and lust of the French court in the 18th century have been exhausted in this large-scale production of high investment. The film does not emphasize the direct opposition between the people and the monarch, but tells everyone about that era with the personal tragedy of a palace butler. Witte’s loyalty, kindness, energy, and creativity are all amazing. These excellent qualities are directly reflected in the magnificent visual effects of the film. This figure between the ruler and the people is the target of the director’s approval. A director who transcended the era in the 18th century, an elite figure who embodies French culture, wisdom and creativity. The film uses this character to show to the great French people. , Cultural tribute.

British director Roland. In 1986, Qiao Fei squeezed Tarkovsky's posthumous work "Sacrifice" (Offret) in Cannes with "The Mission" and won the Palme d'Or for best film, reaching a peak in his artistic career. . Later films like Passion of Mind, City of Joy and Goodbye Lover were not very successful. Qiao Fei gradually abandoned the tragic religious sentiments in the early "Land of Killing", "Mission" and "City of Joy", and turned his attention to the bourgeois elite who is not popular. This change cannot but be said to be true. A kind of regression.

Apart from this personal pursuit of goals and ideological changes, the film is still very entertaining. The splendid scenes of grand amusement activities climax one after another under the packaging of superb film techniques. Almost more than the modern 2000 Olympic opening ceremony, it is the biggest buying point of the film! !
