The traditional Chinese patriarchal social system emphasizes the distinction of superiority and inferiority, order of elder and youngest, and difference between noble and lowly, especially in family and marriage relations, where men are superior to women. Obey the husband, obey the son when the husband dies..." In short, a woman's life is in the hands of a man! The humble status of women in the old society!

The story is heavy and intriguing, full of viewing power, and it is like a blue-gray mist. Just using a family as the content of the story can render its unique tragic beauty in a rich and colorful way!

    The first Chinese film to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Zhang Yimou's color narrative is really beautiful, the contrast between blue and red, metaphors the wrestling of old and new forces. Zhao Jiping's soundtrack is just right, and the side description of eroticism is very expressive (peeps into small holes and large holes in the cellar, and dyed cloth that keeps falling). The fly in the ointment is that the subject of criticizing the cruel and hypocritical feudal ethics is advanced, and some characters are not realistic and detailed. (8.5/10)
