Ambush on all sides has nothing to do with love

I am ashamed that I have only watched this movie until now.
The colors are so beautiful-they are so beautiful. If you have been to Dunhuang and have seen the colorful colors, you know that Zhang Yimou is really a master of colors.
Takeshi Kaneshiro's costume looks good. It's a pity that his slurred lines halved his charm. He should say "...every day I walk in this city, there are millions of people in this city..." Such lines, he should be pure and decadent, not stern, and I still watch this film for him. .
All three actors have no chemical reaction. Therefore, the love that broke out under layers of ambush is in the entanglement of life and death in such a beautiful situation. It's not touching.
At that time, I believed Zhang Yimou had never loved deeply. He didn't.
How gorgeous, bluffing, tragic, ambitious... But a movie with no soul, when love becomes technical life, you get more or lose more.

    Kai Ge said that Mouzi is a photographer, not a director. I said you have to let Zhang Ziyi die a few times, I laughed ^_^

    [New People's Paradise] I rewatched this film 15 years later with the question of why it was well received in the West, and it was definitely a bad film. As a commercial blockbuster, the plot is sloppy and can't be saved. The rest, stage beauty? This is not a musical, and two dances cannot support one play. Beautiful scenery? This is not a tourist scene film. Martial arts beauty and agency beauty? Lack of imagination in the bones, following in the footsteps of others. Beautiful special effects? Flying knives is purely to please the audience. Love beauty? Putting the love entanglements of modern people in the Tang Dynasty is really frustrating, but it is a pity that it is difficult for foreigners to understand this kind of frustrating. This is an exotic hunting film that is pieced together by various pieces of beauty.
