    Analysis of characters hanging high with red lanterns

    There is a country when there is a family, and the various systems and evils of this country can be reflected from a single family. The characters in the film are each representative: the master, the most powerful figure in the whole film, his portrayal in the film is mostly brushed or blurred, and...

    Big red lanterns hang high, illuminating the sorrows of women in feudal society.

    This movie has long been buzzing. . . Too bad I haven't had time to watch it. . . I don't know why I don't want to watch it. Maybe it was my own resistance to the Republic of China, I didn't like that time, the gloomy time, maybe something bad happened during that time in my last life, but I was...

    The heart is higher than the sky, and the body is inferior - Yan'er

    This movie has made great efforts in terms of scene setting, character and picture processing. I think of the work "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Chen Kaige in the same period, which is the same classic, and I can't help feeling that although the current movie is There has been a lot of...

    Hanging around the big red man

    From the very beginning of the film, I discovered the connection between this story and contemporary reality - Song Lian, played by Gong Li, confessed to the camera, seemingly talking to her mother, but actually speaking to thousands of parents who arranged marriages they listen. This is of course...

    man's real name is desire

    This film criticizes the feudal patriarchal society and is intrusive. A female student who went to college for half a year was forced to marry a master surnamed Chen because of her family's failure (father's business went bankrupt, lacked money for burial after death, and her mother forced her to...

    A power struggle under the watchful eye of the House of the Dead

    Zhang Yimou still showed his mastery of color. The red color of the lantern was originally a symbol of hope, but under Zhang's lens, it became a symbol of the oppression of women in the feudal patriarchal society. The blackness of the cloth that seals the lights, the blackness of the buildings of...

    A woman's sky is low and her wings are thin

    After watching this movie, I sincerely feel that I can live in this era and I am really happy.

    Women of that era really had absolutely no hobbies and spiritual content of their own. Gong Li played the only flute that the Fourth Wife was thinking about, and was burned by the master without being...

    Desperate times are always condensed into one family

    If you fall in love with a book because of a movie, it has to be it.

    Sorrow, surrender, is the main theme of this film. No matter how smart, how self-reliant and strong Songlian was, in the end, she still longs for a single-minded love and a right to protect herself. This is not because of how much...

    The deep meaning of each lyric and verse (albeit with craftsmanship)

    Although it was written as the lead star Gong Li at the beginning, I always felt that this movie should be a dual-leader. Because Song Lian's tragedy is closely tied to Mei Shan, the fuse of Song Lian's madness is also Mei Shan's death (it may also be that He Saifei is too much to steal the...

    A wrong house fight

    Open a brain hole: If this is a web novel, the story might be like this.

    The beautiful heroine Song Lian has a tragic background, she was forced to marry a bad old man and became his fourth wife.

    As the newly married woman of the master, she has been favored for a while. After experiencing the...
