In fact, this story does not take place in China

Everyone thinks that this movie is bad because it completely violates everyone's common sense about China, and it doesn't seem to be Chinese or Western. In fact, it is completely Western. The empire that appears in the movie is actually a European country with Chinese people, Chinese clothes, and Chinese architecture.
To give a few examples, this is a European country. For example, a princess can inherit the throne. This never happened in ancient China, but it is very common in Europe. The reason why the barbarian king wants to marry the princess is because after marriage, you can get the princess' territory. It is necessary to explain that, in Europe, when the kings of two countries get married, the territory of the woman will become a dowry, and the husband and wife will become the kings of both countries at the same time, that is, the man is both the king of his own country and the king of the woman's country, and the woman She is both the queen of her own country and the queen of the man's country. So that's probably why queen and queen are the same word in English, and queen and queen are also the same word. Because of this marriage, the famous countries are the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the country where the monarchs of Austria and Hungary got married.
If you can accept that this is a European country, a lot of the irrationality makes sense. The kingdoms in Europe are similar to the Zhou Dynasty in China. Most of the land is controlled by the nobles. The real control of the king is very small, so the emperor in the movie has only seven guards. And after the king died, the barbarian king was still planning how to invade because the nobles were still defending. The princess and the guard are actually the relationship between the princess and the knight in Europe. The knight swears to defend the princess personally, so the guards know that Jack will kill him after kissing the princess. (I can't understand why the guards knew that Jack kissed the princess and really didn't understand. The guards saw the lip print on Jack's mouth.)
Also, as a European country, it's not surprising that the princess can speak English. Foreign language education in ancient Europe could do this.
Besides, as an overhead country, you can do anything, and of course a European country with a Chinese shell can have it. A lot of Chinese online novels are Chinese dynasties with an overhead European shell.
Ignoring all Chinese elements, this is a pure western fairy tale, retaining some of the advantages of Luc Besson. Personally, it is quite similar to Adele's fantasy adventure. It is actually worth 6 to 7 points, but the Chinese do not accept it. This "China", which goes against common sense, is not familiar with the situation in Europe. If it cannot be regarded as a European country, the evaluation will naturally be low. Therefore, this film is not suitable for release in China, it should be released in the West, and the countries in it can accept it when Westerners understand Europe in the same way.
However, this film that is not suitable for release in China is only released in China, and this is the biggest failure of this film.
