What is the biggest feature of Zhang Yimou's films?

The biggest feature of Zhang Yimou's films is that they are gorgeous in visual aspect, and can even be evaluated with artistic eyes. Of course, this has a lot to do with director Zhang Yimou being an excellent photographer. Director Zhang Yimou is a director who is very good at telling stories by using the lens structure. Even the film directed by Zhang Yimou can be a textbook case of lens structure. In fact, the film that best embodies Zhang Yimou's lens art is Hero, because in this film, director Zhang Yimou shows the visual art vividly, and even this Hero has become a textbook-level visual art film.

However, we also see that the films directed by Zhang Yimou in recent years have been criticized and accused by many audiences. Of course, director Zhang Yimou still has profound attainments in visual arts, but Zhang Yimou still has many weaknesses in plot structure. This is because director Zhang Yimou is not good at telling stories, which can be said to be the common fault of the fifth generation directors. Therefore, many classic films in Zhang Yimou have cooperated with some excellent top screenwriters, and only this strong alliance can make Zhang Yimou's visual arts play better.

We see that director Zhang Yimou has not found an excellent script for himself in the past two years, so it is very difficult to break through the previous classic films, although the films directed by Zhang Yimou have high quality assurance. Because if you tell a story only by lens art, there is a feeling of deviating from the film itself. Therefore, the films directed by Zhang Yimou in the past two years have not been recognized by everyone.

Of course, we can't deny the brilliance that director Zhang Yimou brought to China films in those years, but it still depends on our own efforts to reproduce such brilliance. Because the level of director Zhang Yimou is obvious to all. As long as director Zhang Yimou can find a suitable script, I believe that director Zhang Yimou can still create a very classic film.
