After ten years, see again

I watched this film once when it came out, and it was given three stars at the time. It was probably influenced by various propaganda and comparisons of Farewell My Concubine, and because of my young age, I felt that the filming was all messed up. no.

Now I've watched it again, and there's a lot of good stuff in it, not so bad. The king and queen, Kong Ji and Changsheng are all people with wordless despair.
And they all performed this kind of despair and struggle. For a film, the story to be told is enough.

I really liked the scene where two people were flying in the air at the end, the soldiers broke through the city, the queen sat still, and the king laughed.

Maybe it's because many views and points of view have changed after growing up. Say whatever you want.
