Although it is not as heavy as "Farewell My Concubine" and not as thick as "Assassination of Qin", it is more gorgeous.
The colors are gorgeous, the scenery is gorgeous, the action is gorgeous, and the performance is even more gorgeous.
What is commendable is that there is a bit of innocence hidden under this gorgeous appearance - this is the genius of "Wuji".
Yes, this is a pure fairy tale at all.
Sorry, Chen Kaige disappointed people who were prepared and used to being deliberately deep this time.
Many people say that "Promise" is so stupid.
I think it's understandable, but I'm afraid many people don't like dramatic performances. It's all about "aesthetic and cultural differences". Some of Chen Kaige's films are very staged. If we look at Peking Opera with real requirements, the face-lifting challenge and the minor tune of Tsing Yi are also funny.
