Curse of the Golden Flower
Yesterday, the day before the cold weather have fully invaded
I watched “Curse of the Golden Flower”; indeed, it’ll be only accurate if one watch it personally to experience it.
Hearing so many waves of criticism, I can only say that I should experience it personally before proving whether the movie is worth the criticisms.
How can other’s opinions replaced your own?
Director Zhang Yi Mou made a common and normal Double ninth/ Chongyang Festival be filled with so much spirit
Be it the king's ruthlessness, arrogance and cold-bloodedness
all these were proved vividly again and again
I think, the chance Jay Chou have to perform, should have made many green with envy
To be able to perform with great actors like Chow Yuen Fatt, Gong Li and Liu Hua
What’s more, he still can display his acting skills under Director Zhang Yi Mou’s guidance, this opportunity is rare and precious.
The whole plot was very intense, although some people find this film very commercialized
But if you look at it at another angle, this is actually a shockingly massive production. The peak period of Chinese culture; the beauty and extravagance of the Tang dynasty were all beautifully filmed
And the history that doesn’t change for thousands of years of how a person can give up all relationships for power,
The majesty's hegemony where no one can go against. There will always be someone more powerful than another, just like when a mantis catches its prey, a bird will be waiting for it.
The scenes were very powerful and massive, the effect was so staggering, even if the faces of the soldiers can’t be seen, every thing is still very detailed and careful.
The strategic manipulation in the plot is also very exciting and captivating, feeling turning bad in the palace, with no ethics what so ever
If one is not a Chinese, they won’t be able to understand it clearly
“Curse of the Golden Flower” is introducing spreading China’s long and amazing spirit, allowing the world to know more about Chinese culture
Do you think it is good? Watching a movie isn't just about looking on the surface. Otherwise you spent two hundred over dollars will not be worthwhile at all.
Movies that allow people to ponder are getting lesser, so we must watch more and think more.
