I find a few cool points.
1. Wang Xueqi's acting skills are really convincing. In fact, after watching "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", I really hate seeing his role in it, but after watching "Mei Lanfang" and this "October Siege", I really Was convinced.
2. Hu Jun plays the villain very well. There is a very strong momentum, because in this film, the decency is a group show, and the villain is only him, and his killer can balance these many bodyguards well, so he must be far stronger in momentum than he is. Including Donnie Yen, Liming, Battelle, Ren Dahua and other masters. Hu Jun not only did it in appearance (although some people said that he wanted a vulture when he shaved his eyebrows), but also showed in the play that he was a student of Tony Leung Ka Fai and received Western education. This part of the play is very important and reflects the He not only performed this assassination mission as a hawk dog of the Qing court, but did it with his own beliefs and political aspirations. Such two different beliefs, but equally firm and persistent, can this confrontation be balanced. So I think the balance of this drama, the role of Hu Jun played a central role.
3. Fan Bingbing and Donnie Yen's daughters are so cute that when they appeared, the audience exclaimed.
4. The scene in Liming with a top 100 is too cool. The kind of temperament that comes from the inside is not the coolness that Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng can pose in a pose.
5. The supporting roles of Li Yuchun and Battelle are quite convincing. It's just that Brother Chun's appearance is still a little dirty, especially the melon skin hat, which caused the audience to laugh. But from the perspective of the role performance, it is still in place, but it is not outstanding. On the contrary, Battelle is a bit surprising. Compared with the big supporting roles in Hong Kong films in the past, this character is still very vivid.
6. Nicholas Tse is very dedicated, but he can still see some overexertion. Not as high as described in some reviews.
7. Zhou Yun is very beautiful, not many scenes, but very good-looking.
8. I think Donnie Yen's role in the play is well handled. As the theme of a group play, I don't think his martial arts plays can steal the rhythm of the overall film, and a few outstanding martial arts plays are also worth watching. . In terms of literary and drama, I think it has not surpassed "Ip Man", but it is still in place.
9. In terms of the plot, there is actually no need to ask too much, because everyone has too many personal inclinations for such big topics as democracy and patriotism. I think Er Chen was sincere when he created this film and didn't have too many strong preaching.
10. The lines are very OK, not shocking, not pretentious, and not hypocritical. In terms of rhythm, I think it is also OK. Although the first hour is a foreshadowing of literary drama, it is also relaxed and not blindly laid out, so the film of more than 2 hours seems to pass quickly.
Last but not least, I am used to watching movies with subtitles. After watching the movie yesterday, I found that in the end there were only a row of girls in the second row sitting neatly, and then I realized - oh, it turned out to be a group of corns to watch, because in the second half of the subtitles, only Li Yuchun was there. sung the theme song.
