unaccustomed to dullness

Perhaps the history at that time was relatively dull, and the director restored it. This is a description of the process of greedy capitalists taking risks and creating wealth by unscrupulous means. The actors are beyond reproach, and every shot is very meticulous, but maybe it's because my generation pursues drama too much, and it seems very dull. The really good biographical works are still "Beautiful Mind", and the "Wu Qingyuan" I have seen before has a similar feeling. Maybe in reality, it is difficult for real legends or agitation to exist for a long time, and it is more difficult and dull. .
The end result is a teasing of religion or belief, but I think it's real. In a materialistic world, it is very difficult to truly guarantee inner peace or the pursuit of heaven without any worldly distractions! I think if someone records the history of Chinese entrepreneurs in the past 30 years in the future, it will be much more exciting than this! The interweaving of politics, greed, adventure, chance, women, money, and friends will turn a little more violently. However, I also believe that in the end, the same path will lead to a prosperous society and a life with a soul. It will be a inevitability of history!
expect!
