So heavy, so depressing

Maybe the director of the film really wanted to get closer to aesthetics. In the director's words, it is called full of "stage drama" effects. It can be said that the intention is good. But after more than 100 minutes, the most profound feeling for me is only deep and depressed. The two parallel main lines not only explain the cause and effect of ancient Laotong, but also parallel the development of its descendants. But it is precisely because of the two main lines that the film keeps changing time and characters, and the audience suffers again and again. In particular, the expression of the main theme of the film itself is a difficult subject to play. Although Li Bingbing said that it was easy for him to get into the film, I rarely saw one or two bright spots in the film. Maybe, if you want to express this theme, it will be better if you spread it out directly with the ancient plot. With no choice, I chose this film, but this choice made me understand that in the absence of a choice, it is wise and correct not to choose. This is off topic. This movie should be regarded as the bottom of the movies I have watched this year.
