Aside from the harsh online evaluation, from an objective point of view, this movie is a good work as a whole. The director handles complex story content with ease. In the film, the two story lines of ancient and modern intersect. The director mainly focuses on the modern story line, interspersed with the ancient story line, so that the whole film can narrate the intricate stories at multiple time points without breaking the film. This is the A highlight of the film.
The loyal and unswerving values conveyed by the film are also remarkable. Whether it is Meng Yi's loyalty to the first emperor, or Yu Shu's loyalty to Meng Yi's thousand-year-old city, it is touching. In addition, at the time of 2005, myth was not a time-travel film in the true sense, but it could properly be called the ancestor of the time-travel film, which inspired countless later literary and film works of time-travel themes. At that time, a theme song of the same name of "Myth" became popular all over the country, and it is still being sung today, and the co-production between China and South Korea was also a big stunt at that time. The film itself still has a lot of groundbreaking content. However, the limitations of the film itself are not ignored. The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty wore the standard armor of the Han Dynasty; the portraits of the Qin Dynasty were full of pencil quality, and there were many coincidences in the modern story line. But on the whole, the film is a good film and television work. Especially the dance that Yu Shu danced for Meng Yi on the top of the mountain, although the panorama shot obviously used a dance instead, it still shocked me.
4 stars, overall is good, I like it.
