Basically, there are no bad actors in this movie, including Li Yuchun and Bartle who are new to the big screen, and Hao Liang, the little girl who plays the daughter of Chongyang. This should be attributed to the director's credit. A good director knows how to guide and discover the characteristics and talents of actors.
It's a disaster movie. Whether it is in terms of the plot of the movie, or in terms of the process from preparation to birth. Ten years ago, director Chen Desen ran around with the script to seek funding to rebuild a Central City in 1905. At that time, people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry thought he was crazy. He was unwilling to compromise, and he finally found an investor. He was about to start filming twice, but he encountered SARS, the investor committed suicide, his sister suffered from cancer, his mother died of a stroke, and he was in a car accident.

" The size of one and a half football fields has become the size of five and a half football fields. Whether it is buildings, furnishings, props, and costumes, all strive to restore the appearance of 1905.
Time has changed, and the cast has retained Liang Jiahui, Zeng Zhiwei, Zhou Yun, and Li Jiaxin. In addition to the replacement of roles, from Xiao Yaxuan, Leslie Cheung and others, Li Yuchun, Wang Xueqi, Battelle, Wang Bojie and Hu Jun were replaced.
"Heaven has a great responsibility for people, and they must first suffer their minds, work their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin." These hardships may be the fruit of waiting for this time, place and people's environment.
"October Siege" is not an impeccably good movie, but at least it is sincere and makes the audience feel that they have not been deceived into spending money in vain.
