"Big love makes an immortal legend", the propaganda word is quite majestic, but the film has lived up to the original depth of the subject matter. Banners such as "Schindler's List" and "Rwanda Hotel" are always in the front, wanting to transcend history After panning the classics, it is no easy task. Roger Spottywood clearly understands the truth, so he tries to find ways and mix more elements to increase his bargaining chips. The vast natural scenery and intricateness. The emotional entanglement and the unexpected plot laid out... It is a pity that these Hollywood habitual methods are too mixed, but the clues of the film are more complicated, and on the contrary, it weakens the shocking power of discussing the human nature theme.
As Fa Ge said, he hopes to use this film to alert more people not to forget that unbearable history. Perhaps it is this unshirkable sense of responsibility that prompted him to join the film, but unfortunately the erratic role greatly restricts him. With the use of Fa Ge's acting skills, only in the few gunfight scenes, can he barely recognize the shadow of Ma Ge from his angular face. Of course, Michelle Yeoh, who once had the title of "Hong Kong's No. 1 Female Actress", who had the same illness as Fa Ge, was a black and white businessman. Why did she make sacrifices too tragic? She spent many years of savings. In the end, they even had to talk to that hateful Kuomintang officer... Such extraordinarily sprawling roles and pitiful scenes left them too narrow room for performance, so they could only be naturally reduced to green leaves.
I don't know exactly how foreigners who are outside the matter think of that period of Chinese history, but Roger Spottywood is clearly trying to choose a gentle and calm stand. He deliberately avoided bloody and tragic war scenes, and only used the ruined city walls in the embers and a few typical slaughter shots. The shots of the Japanese soldiers holding family photos after their death also deepened his "everyone is victimized in the war." The humanistic concept and compassion of "Zhe", but these have also led to the film's prosaic and lack of tension, but relative to the theme of the film, this is a relatively objective angle.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Radha Mitchell, the two foreign male and female protagonists, performed fairly well. Although Li relies on drugs to continue her life and the pursuit of faith is a bit unexpected, it also increases the character’s flatness and closeness from the side. , But Hoker’s naked scene and the obscure passion scene between the two are really incompatible with the film’s tone; the performances of several Huangshi children are still slightly immature, and Shi Kai’s interpretation of rebellion is too boring, life The strange behavior at the last moment was as sudden and inexplicable as the kid who hanged himself.
When the last white kite with the cross was hunting and hunting in the wind again, my heart was still touched by the luxurious touch. A British man who had nothing to do with him traveled more than a thousand kilometers on the ancient Silk Road for more than 60 innocent children. In the end, he sacrificed his life due to the bad medical conditions at the time, but he played it with his conscience. A great elegy has also made countless Chinese remember the name "George Hogg".
Finally, I suggest that friends who have high expectations for this film, it is best not to go to the cinema to watch the film, and wait for the original soundtrack to come home and enjoy it. The reasons are as follows: the whole film is too slow, the dubbing is hard to accept, and there is no shocking audiovisual effect throughout, and when I watched it, the last character interview had just begun, and the theater began to turn on the lights...
