Then, this piece quickly made me realize that the ancient Arabia of a thousand years ago was not the Turkic Persian of the past five hundred years, and the common people at most were not tribal chiefs, nor was it a great sultan whose territory spanned Europe and Asia. The mud bricks, the four walls of the family, the sand and dust, the rough cloth, the poor and the poor, quickly replaced the gorgeous and magnificent assumptions I had in the past few decades... Although it is not an old dream, I feel that this is more in line with situation of the year. Everything is very original, the maozi is not built, the rafters are not cut, and most of the actors are crooked and cracked, like passers-by who smoke casually - just like watching the bright and beautiful Qing palace dramas that have been collected by art colleges and then witnessed. The old photos of the concubines of the Qing Dynasty, winter melon and tofu, have a real sense of contemplation after surprise.
The behavior of the characters is also in line with the description of the original work. The thinking is rough and simple, the actions are impulsive and reckless, the emotions are easy to be irritable, laugh and cry, hate pagans, copulation and killing are very casual. Everyone seems to be heartless, primitive and simple, without beauty and ugliness, without fame and profit: jumping and shouting, showing joy, pulling forcefully, showing yin and yang.
Thinking about it, it is also true that in a society where reciting scriptures is the national vocation, how to engage in production and accumulate wealth, coupled with external geographical conditions, are not allowed. The mud-hued thatched hut is the daily situation, the tribal elder sitting on a stretcher is the king, Chai Niu is the princess, and early marriage with many children is a lifetime achievement.
The only thing I'm not satisfied with is that the actors are not in a good state, so many people giggled and giggled without finishing their lines; is this the effect that the director specifically seeks? It's not aesthetically pleasing and entertaining.
I, who have never been impatient with the rhythm of literary films, have not been able to settle down for a second while facing this lengthy and slag-like film, which is full of laughter all day long.
