At first, I was misled by the title and thought it was another spy war blockbuster featuring actual combat and technology. I was almost late and worried about missing the beginning. I was lucky to be seated at the end of the trailer.
The result-the expected secret signal, the usual tricks of deception and intrigue among spies almost did not appear-except for a code map of the MS maritime combat fleet formation, replaced by the complex emotional entanglements between friends from China, Japan, the United States, and Germany. .
The color of the film is a bit dark. The showgirls of Greater Shanghai sing the sluggish sounds of the 1930s and 1940s, but their makeup and costumes are too gorgeous. It’s said that one can look at a woman’s age by looking at her neck. When Gong Li appeared in the casino in full dress, she was still in good shape and squeezed out of the deep groove, still charming oval face, charming, smoking posture is very Temptation, but the wrinkled neck exposed the age of the aunt. The fat brother had a mediocre performance in the first half, and the last scene in the rain reminded me of the old little Ma, a bit of the late sorrow of the old giant. Japanese military officers are so passionate about Japanese girls who smoke opium. In contrast, the German lady is a bit less authentic. American journalists or spies are the final winners. They embrace the beauty and write the heroic Roman history, so this film Seriously, it should be called a Shanghai love story.
