The overall feeling after watching it - not sullen or angry. In terms of shooting techniques, it is indeed a bit blatant imitating American blockbusters. In terms of narration of historical events, it is quite hypocritical. Basically, it is not bad, it is a well-made movie. From the perspective of accuracy, I can understand the director's intentions. The only thing I regret is the establishment of the image of the scholar and political commissar. The typical character modeling forcibly created in order to dramatize the conflict is far from the actual history, and even runs in the opposite direction. From what my grandfather said, the more literati who was in the military, the more literate they were in the army, the more desperate they were to fight. In a crowd of men, the slightest bit of cowardice would be infinitely magnified and discriminated against. Moreover, since literati wrote their pen, That is the bloody, often more unreasonable charge when fighting, because they are different from the veterans, they really have ideals and beliefs. Those who have these are fearless (a popular analogy is like Islamic fundamentalists). Therefore, the political commissar of Gu Zidi's first partner is actually closer to the true portrayal.
