We have seen-race, friendship, politics, leadership, war..... There may be things we haven't seen. I just want to say how big and painful the ambition is! ! I remember that when I saw it more than half, I had been unfolding around Matthew’s perspective before. It is understandable that the story revolves around the protagonist, and we can feel that a hero is about to be born. And some passages on the way are quite humorous (for example, the lieutenant was robbed twice, etc.), but after that it began to change. There was a mess here and there. It seemed that the director and the editor were suddenly invited by the president to have dinner. The child is messed up. Since when, the character of Matthew has been blurred, and in the end he was the only one who performed hard and griefed hoarsely, and the audience, just look at it. In fact, Matthew's performance is as stable as ever (I saw the Dallas buyer two days ago. Alas), but the performance space given by this film is too narrow. Blind for nothing. . Not just Matthew, all actors are. .
Biographies are inherently disadvantaged than current themes. After all, movies are still made for audiences, not self-expression. The background of this film is not to say that it is Chinese. Nowadays, Americans can't find the projection themselves. These propositions are too big, thinking about it, it feels incredible. . Guessing one sentence--maybe rushing to Chongao's thoughts.
So, don't do such a big thing if you don't have this ability, and tell the story down-to-earth as if it is better than everything. Of course, I hope that the director can have a follow-up masterpiece, which is admirable than the ambitious filmmaker.
