It is very watchable, at least very reliable. It is Chen Kaige's excellent work. "Wuji" and "Mei Lanfang" are seriously unreliable works. The former is too stupid and the latter is too mediocre. Gong Li It is still quite temperamental. The feeling in this film is much better than that of "Fengyue", but the character is a bit blurry. Li Xuejian plays very well, although he still can't escape Chen Kaige's unique yin and yang weirdness. The main shortcomings are quite obvious, simple To say it is: long-winded, impure. The former does not want to say more, the latter mainly wants to express too much and too complicated things, which can not be cluttered but not chaotic and can not precipitate a strong taste. The most impressive: In the end, Jing Ke It is very interesting to pretend to be stupid and assassinate the King of Qin; the death of a child is always heart-wrenching and difficult to let go of for a long time. It is also the same when watching "The Destruction of the Empire", where innocent children are killed by desperate adults.
