The first episode is realistic, the next episode is romantic - if you can watch it, I recommend watching the 4-hour version

I originally planned to watch the domestic version of the movie

, but someone invited me to watch the 4 Hours Bay version together, so I went there happily.

As a result, we saw the evening from the afternoon, and we also had a lunch break, which really tested our sitting skills. Really long. This is the biggest disadvantage.

Let’s talk about the feeling, it’s better than I thought, the first episode is realistic and the next episode is romantic. I gave 5 points for the first episode and 4 points for the next episode.

The opening 20 minutes completely subverted the "Avatar" feeling I left when I watched the trailer, but it reminded me of Mel Gibson's 2006 Apocalypto "Apocalypse/Apocalypse" - this film I gave 4 Score, so if you don't like this one, you can consider watching the short version of Sediq Bale.


The music is great, and I really liked several of the singing scenes. It's a pity to hear that the chorus of Mona Ludo and his father was deleted in the theatrical version. I think before that period, Mona Ludao was still struggling, and after that period, Mona Ludao had no turning back. Because in that paragraph, the fundamental questions of his family, faith and life were all answered.

The pictures and special effects are very meticulous and serious, almost not losing to Hollywood, which is rare.

Editing is okay too, 4 stars. Some people commented that the director's ability to control the exhibition is very low. I think it's okay. The last episode has more details, because the audience doesn't know the Sediq people. The director spent a lot of energy to describe the whole background and both sides. In the next episode, I think the battle scene can be cut out a bit, after all, it's too long to test people.

I prefer the director's approach and attitude in handling the whole story. The story begins when Mona Rudo was a child, and shows the audience the life of the Seediq people before they were colonized by Japan, so that the audience feels closer to the Seediq people. This life was completely interrupted by force.


These are very close to the historical facts I have seen, and they are basically not overly sensational (there was a little over when the women and children were hanged), and they did not exaggerate the image of the Seediq people. They drank blood, fought tribal battles, and had strong and simple personalities, that's all. As for the Japanese invaders, they were comprehensive and careful, good at propaganda, arrogant in their bones, good at "governing vassals with vassals", distrustful of their words, and weak individuals. Well, that's what happened in history.

Blood level: The force is relatively strong in heroism and romance, but there is basically no intentional exaggeration in terms of violence, which is weaker than the bloody taste of "Spartan 300 Warriors".

Some details are worth pondering:

in the film, Mona Ludao said that it will be different in 20 years. Seeing this, I wonder if Wei Desheng also has the same mentality in making this film. Maybe he will not be able to make such a film in 20 years. .

The dialogue between Ichiro Hanaoka and Erlang mentioned that the two were educated and worked hard, but they still could not integrate into Japanese society, and they were still distinguished from the Japanese by their appearance. Do these words feel like they are lying down from the ABC to the Chinese audience who speak E-text?

What is the difference between being conquered and being tamed? Hard and soft means are different. What's the same? It is difficult for the "being" party to gain the respect of the strong, because respect comes from "winning".

There are also Dou Commentaries who said that the attitude of Mona Ludao was repeated in the second half, and he was determined to die in the front, and finally persuaded his daughter to live. Did this soybean oil watch the skewer? What I see is that his son decided to die and persuade his sister to live. I think this is true. After all, it is normal for young people to cherish life in this world more. Mona Ludao told everyone that those who are willing to surrender surrender, those who are willing to commit suicide commit suicide. This is the same as his attitude at the beginning. Not all the Wushe tribe participated, and his attitude is that there are enough 300 people. The leadership is not forcing and useful. , Faith is more useful than coercion, he is very clear.

In short, this complex history, this movie basically restores, is very good.
