ancient multinational war

I watched this movie on TV, and it was very shocking at first, because seeing Goryeo soldiers, Mongolian soldiers, and Ming Dynasty soldiers fighting together was a bit like playing the imperial era. The hodgepodge of various languages ​​and costumes appeared in front of me, and I was dazzled and unable to extricate myself for a while.
But soon it looked a little awkward. The Goryeo soldiers who were escorted met the Mongolian soldiers who were like robbers, and then met the married princess Zhang Ziyi, and a group of fleeing people followed. The story is a little messy here. However, the action scenes are not bad. The battle team composed of Gaoli soldiers has a clear division of labor and is active in combat. However, dragging their families and bringing their mouths still makes the most powerful Mongolian soldiers in history helpless. Their reckless character is also revealed at this time. By the end of the film, the only remaining Goryeo soldiers left in a small boat to cross the Bohai Sea is also quite touching.
As for Zhang Ziyi's performance, what I want to say is that it's too disappointing. It just played the role of a vase, and the serious expression on her face seemed to maintain the majesty of the princess, but in the end I found that when everyone was fighting with blood, only she was superfluous and useless. In the end she survived and I feel a little bit of gnashing of teeth...
If you want to see three ethnic groups fighting, then come on, if you fantasize about watching epics, you will be really disappointed...
