1. Xiao Sili is like an unreal person. Everyone else is dirty and covered with dust, but he is as white as a ghost. Compared with a real person, he is more like a shadow split by King Qin, constantly reminding King Qin” Unify the world", this is a curse that haunts King Qin, and it leads him step by step to realize the grief of being alone; it is also the single-plank bridge that cannot be turned back in the movie. . King Qin had no choice but to use it to rationalize everything, to Zhao Niang, to the world, to himself, to the innocent undead, and to say that everything was for the unification of the world!
2. Romance and poetry are always the foundation of Chen Kaige. Even in a bloody movie, Jing Ke's assassination should be based on another love story. Jing Ke fell in love with Zhao Niang. Formed, for Zhao Niang's anger and wish, he must assassinate the King of Qin, and then laugh at his unharmed but extremely broken life before dying, show him his complete and strong love and soul, and never endure for the sake of grandeur , only a tear for a lover. Chen Kaige's later "Search" and "Wuji" once again proved this point. The down-to-earth simplicity of the film "Search", with one-of-a-kind characters, made it like a stage with the background board torn off, and it became an embarrassing and dry rehearsal. And "Promise" is a crazy experiment completely off the ground. Gods, people and ghosts are completely dominated by their own hearts. Love and hate have evolved into valleys and trees, feathers and cages. The whole movie is full of burning heat. So in my eyes, Gao Yuanyuan, who went bungee jumping in order to experience the last warmth of her life, will never compare to Cecilia Cheung, who can fly in a feather coat.
