"The Promise" is one of the works directed and written by Chen Kaige in 2005. What is very interesting is that Chen Kaige's famous work "Farewell My Concubine" is not written by him but Lu Wei and Li Bihua. The plot of the two co-writers is definitely invincible. "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and "The Orphan of Zhao Family" directed by Chen Kaige and the screenwriter are not very good.
First of all, the positioning of "Promise" is an oriental fantasy epic film. Fantasy is quite fantasy. Epic is not suitable, because I have never seen any dynasty build a palace into a mosquito coil. The film tells. A poor child was favored by the goddess of destiny and became the most beautiful princess in the world, but the curse of destiny would never get true love. The humble Kunlun slave loved her sincerely and gave her the right to choose again at the cost of her own life. And the process of getting true love is not so smooth. Princess Allure will also have an earth-shattering love wrestling between North Duke Wuhuan, General Guangming, and slave Kunlun.
So why does the god of fate care for this kid so much? Just for the sake of a steamed bun to develop into the last fight one after another? It is guessed that Director Chen Kaige wants to show humanity through mythology. All conflicts are conflicts of economic interests. The people's food is the sky, and it is nothing more than to eat food. The complicated relationship between the characters and the chaotic lines of emotion in the plot are estimated to be difficult to clear in the first time, so we won't do it.
simply treat it as a fantasy movie, leaving aside the background and specific myths and legends, but the "king" in this movie is really unbearable. Is it sure that the king is not an eunuch? Squeezing my throat while speaking, once persuaded me to retreat many times. Several starring actors come from different places, and their accents are too heavy to play. As for the special effects, there are not too many requirements because of the film ten years ago.
It is not the movie itself that pushed Promise to the forefront, but the director who loves the work like loving his own children. At that time, he did not say this sentence: I accept all comments on my film. Chen Kaige's response to criticism was lost after the release. After Hu Ge's "A Bloody Case Triggered by a Steamed Bun" became popular, Chen Kaige sued the court for infringement on the one hand and declared that "people cannot be shameless." At this level," the audience criticized negatively, and the CNTV channel at that time all had a kind attitude towards the news footage of the channel appearing in the spoof video. This response offended public anger, went against the spirit of the Internet, and caused overwhelming scolding. Since then, spoofing has officially become a kind of online culture, and "Promise" unfortunately embarked on the altar. While Zhang Yimou faced the audience's criticism of his blockbuster, he had an explanation, but he did not stand against the audience.
Is Chen Kaige really relieved now? No, he didn’t. If he really accepted all the comments, he wouldn’t say that no one would understand Promise within ten years, and that he would not fail todayHe spit out yin and yang strangely and ran against a Li Chengru who was influenced by the comments of the year but had never read Promise. Alluding to Li Chengru being an amateur performance by Liyuan children, his thoughts are outdated and he doesn't know how to appreciate new things. From the discussion of a film work to personal attacks, there is no doubt that the pattern is too small and the bearing is too small, once again ruining the goodwill of Wuji. So, why haven't you watched "The Promise"?
