The film has been studied by many, and the finely polished details and shots have stood the test of time. Many people have paid attention to the symbols and metaphors behind hanging lanterns, kicking feet, roof huts, etc. However I want to say something different.

The most shocking thing about this...

A person's stupidity usually has two possibilities, one is stupidity with IQ deficiency, and the other is stupidity with emotional intelligence deficiency. For most normal people, speaking stupid things and doing stupid things are all because of insufficient emotional intelligence.

First of all, a set of systems, or rules, and various senses of ritual were designed. Everything seems to be done according to the rules.

8.5 points, overrated. It's too deliberate to portray women's spontaneous power struggles around men. Knocking feet, lighting lanterns, sealing lanterns, houses of the dead hanging over people’s heads, these symbols are all so blunt, as if the deformed human nature under the old social ideology and...

When I was a child, I didn't understand the movie and it was very shocking to watch it. This time, I wanted to give it 10 stars.
