The world he reflects is sick. Like all the rooftops he loves to photograph, people look very depressed under the sky in the four corners.
I don't really like the values conveyed in all of Director Zhang's films, and the feudal period that is far from our reality. In addition to "The Case of Qiu Ju" and "Alive", from "The Big Red Lanterns High", "Love in the Hawthorn Tree", "The Golden Armor in the City", etc., the relationship between anyone is very chaotic.
Judou is also a one-step incest movie. Judou couldn't stand the abuse of her impotent husband, and fell in love with her nephew, Tianqing, and gave birth to a son. There is no aesthetic feeling in this process, and it cannot sense oriental aesthetics. This uncomfortable feeling carries over to all of the films, and is collectively played out in "The Golden Armor": mother and child incest. Our first generation of directors went to the world with this kind of film, which made the world distort Chinese culture. This kind of movie that satisfies the curiosity of Western countries seems to be quite top today.
