Everyone in the film has their own destiny (a bet full of gods), and everyone is trying to get out of the control of fate, which constitutes the development line of the film's plot. The storyline of the whole movie is quite complete, and the lines are arranged ingeniously, making it a good movie. However, it is not excellent. In general, "The Promise" has several obvious shortcomings: 1. The special effects production is very poor - especially the beginning of the bull run; 2. The lines are relatively rough, this is relatively hurt, but fortunately not many; 3. Several The mandarin of the leading role is not good enough, which has become a joke for many netizens, but I think this is not so serious in this movie (everything is exaggerated in the trend of criticism); 4. The hidden lines are not revealed clearly enough, which leads to absolute Most viewers don't know why. Among them, the biggest contradiction is the contradiction between the hidden lines and the plain lines. The plot lines of this film are not easy to handle. A little more hints will appear too straightforward and will fail to impress the judges; and as it is now, it is too deep for the audience to understand. In a word, the director didn't handle it well, and Chen Kaige thought too much. This is the film's most serious flaw. The storyline of the film is actually quite complete and rigorous, but there were mistakes in presentation. The so-called "blood case caused by a steamed bun" was originally just a farce of grandstanding, but it turned out to be a weapon for followers to snatch the right to speak. At the beginning, because of the director's big words, "The Promise" became the target of public criticism, and even repeatedly made fun of star events, proving that Chinese audiences cannot be offended. But now that the five-year period has passed, it is no longer necessary to hold on to the inherent prejudice and cling to your own pride to trample this film under your feet.
