Those under the age of 60 should be accompanied by a professional to guide the viewing

Some people say that the film is nostalgic, a tribute to the filmmakers. This scope is too broad. To be precise, it is a tribute to Zhang Yimou - just like Laomouzi, who only deals with pictures and does not tell stories. After watching it for an hour and a half, I haven't seen any climax yet. If I hadn't just slept before going to the theater, it would probably be the second movie after "Harry Potter" that made me fall asleep. 90 minutes is already the limit of my tolerance, 2 big buckets of popcorn make me nauseous, the movie is more nauseous than popcorn, and I have to leave the venue early.

Scorsese's storytelling ability is simply weak. If it weren't for the steam era, you would think that you were watching a reality show for an hour and a half, and the nagging was all boring and trivial, stealing bread and being sent to an orphanage The love scene between the old child, the city administrator and the flower girl, the old man and the teahouse owner's twilight love, the mysterious old man in the library, the friendship between the two children, it is estimated that only full-time housewives who are too busy and are raising children will be interested in this. .

This film should still have a certain market in Europe and the United States. After all, many old men and women come from black and white films. No matter how bad the film itself is, there are some memories that can resonate with it. This is like "Those Years", although 9 knives are a cook, but we who were born in the 1980s almost burst into tears. But in China, when the old man and the old woman were young, they all watched "Mine Warfare" and "Sparkling Red Star". If you let them watch the French train station, they will only think of Li Xiangyang's railway guerrillas. A small-scale screening is enough, isn’t it a fool to take it out for public screening?

Those domestic audiences who see emotions and even tears are either film and television practitioners or pretend to be criminals. Perhaps from a professional point of view, they have indeed captured a certain complex in the film and television industry. The problem is that most of them are laymen like me who know only six things about movies, and the ups and downs of your industry are completely vague. George Merrier has never heard of it. Scorsese is also not as familiar as Mr. Cang. Don't you want to scold you for taking out the housework?
