After a lapse of six years, due to the Fengzhi disturbance, "The Promise" was re-published. Director Chen Kaige has become the "Prophecy Emperor" in the mouths of many netizens. Last night, a certain channel broadcast "Promise", and I started this movie with the mentality of watching a classic bad movie...
"Promise" is not that bad! Maybe "expectations are too high", halfway through, I was really disappointed with the "badness" of this bad film. Thanks to some netizens calling it the bottom line of Chinese bad movies. It also matches! "Three Guns" and "Party Founding" are much worse than it.
Change your mind and look at it, and gradually you will see it in. As a fantasy movie with a strong fairy tale flavor, Wuji is quite successful. The pictures are beautiful, and the human nature reflected by several characters in the play is also very charming. I have heard people say that Wuji is just a gorgeous empty shell. I want to say that Wuji has content, it's just whether you can see it. I used to read "The Little Prince" and thought it was an extremely boring book, and I didn't know it would sell so well. And now The Little Prince is one of my favorite books.
What I saw was such a fairy tale:
Once upon a time, there was a little girl A, who struggled to survive in the war. In order to survive, she did not hesitate to steal people's things and deceive others. Later, she met a witch, in exchange for her magic power to confuse all beings [CC's Gaess? ], and was under the spell - you will never get true love, and even if you get it, you will lose it quickly.
A has grown up and is charming and charming. She is already a princess, has everything, but no true love. She can charm everyone and make everyone's eyes inseparable from her. But no one loves her. The king didn't love her either. When a duke rebelled and wanted her, the king didn't hesitate to give her up for the throne, and even wanted to kill her. It was a man wearing a mask who saved her, the man who killed Wang for her and jumped off a cliff for her without the slightest hesitation. This man is willing to give everything for himself, A feels true love, but only for a moment, as the witch said...
When B was a little boy, he was filthy by a man who was looking for food on the battlefield full of corpses The little guy is attracted. That little girl looks as cute as a bird. He'd been staring at her for days, as if he'd been watching. He suddenly thought a little mischievously, let her live in an exquisite bird cage and be his own bird. So he trapped her in a prank, took her steamed buns, and asked her if she would like to be his slave. She said yes! He was so happy, he let go of the girl with a smug smile, but she lied to him, injured him, and ran away. He liked a man like this, and this man gave him his first taste of deception. He has never trusted anyone since.
Later, B succeeded the duke and learned that the little girl had become a princess. He wants to fulfill his childhood wish. So he spent a year walking from the ice city to the king city, leading an army of millions to besiege the city just for the princess. But a man wearing a mask took her away in just a split second. B used a plan to get her back, but she couldn't get her heart back. He finally locked her in a bird cage made of gold, but he couldn't be happy anymore...
C has been a slave since he was a child, he can only kneel, not stand. He has nothing, not even his own life. He lives for his master, and he has nowhere to go without his master. He was just so mean, and it was as normal to him to be so mean to himself that he could breathe.
C has changed many masters. The most recent master died on the battlefield. A person who gave him meat asked him if he would like to be his slave. He happily accepted. There is meat to eat with him, and he does not know how to live without a master. Later, the master was injured, and he wore the master's armor and the master's mask to save the king for the master - a man without weapons in his hands. So he rescued a defenseless woman and killed the man who was going to kill her - the real king. But he has no regrets. He wants this woman to be safe, free, and happy. For this he would give everything, even his life. Because when she fell to him like a feather, he was already in love with her...

Anyone who has seen the movie knows who ABC is. I won't get into the story behind it. The beauty and temptation of Qingcheng, Kunlun's inferiority and selflessness, the glitz and darkness of light, the resentment and loneliness of Wuhuan, the cowardice and kindness of Guilang. It's all pretty well done in this movie.
In the story, I prefer Kunlun, and I feel more distressed and unhappy. Allure is just a thread that carries the story through to me. There are so few lovely things about her. The last thing I want to mention is the light, and that's why the ABC fairy tale breaks. But Guangming is someone who has to talk. If Wuhuan's love is the most selfish, Kunlun's love is the most selfless, then bright love is the most realistic.
Guangming is a proud and victorious general. In order to make a bet with Manshen, he ordered Kunlun to grab a woman named Qingcheng. At the beginning, like ordinary men, he was attracted by the beauty of the city. Even more Qingcheng fell in love with himself and was complacent. But after the kiss of Qingcheng, Guangming became a slave of love. He also loves Allure, but he loves his own reputation and pride more. When Qingcheng was about to leave, he ordered Kunlun to kill Qingcheng, and he couldn't allow others to trample on his pride, not even those he loved. When Qingcheng left, he proudly announced that Haitang would definitely come back to her before the sun went down. Not a word of retention. But when the begonia flowers began to wither, he surrounded the whole tree with straw, for fear that the wind would blow off half of the petals. When he couldn't stop Begonia from falling, just as he couldn't stop the sun from setting. When he cried like a child: "Qingcheng will not come back..." There was more than a single drop of sad tears. He's a liar, a villain, but his love is real. He used his meanness to give Qingcheng a short-lived happiness, making her feel safe, happy, free, and making her feel at home.
Kunlun is hard to come by, the city is hard to find, and the world is full of light.
I'm tired of typing, and everyone else has said a lot. In short, Promise is very disqualified as a bad film.
The last roar: Kunlun, you can die with confidence! ! !
