Hu Jinquan's films mainly rely on suspense to attract the audience, and they do not explain the identity of the characters and the motivation for their actions. When the audience knows the identity of the characters, they will feel that the director is tricking.
Hu Jinquan needed a martial arts design, his film martial arts are very traditional, one move, one move, slow and clumsy, it's too loose. The Bamboo Forest War, touted by fans, is almost an Alzheimer's performance by today's standards. In this film, everyone likes throwing swords. In fact, this is a very unsuccessful move, basically giving the weapon to the enemy - a veritable gamble.
Therefore, only one or two of Hu Jinquan's films are fresh, and the second and third films will feel the same, and then they will be badly reviewed.
The slow pace is a manifestation of the director's narcissism. Many directors in mainland China who want to make literary and artistic films have not learned the artistic talent of overseas directors, but have learned narcissism - in fact, it is common for mainland directors to have a slow pace, and everyone's narcissism is more focused.
The film is three hours long. Can the fans who gave this film a high score can insist on not fast-forwarding at all? In order to show admiration for a director, it may take a single second of piety.
