What do you think of "The Great Wall" starring Jing Tian?

Jing Tian. Although it may be a bit arbitrary to judge a film based on its actors alone, the name of Nan Jing Tian and Bei Yi Huan is not given for nothing.

In fact, Zhang Yimou has never been a director who is good at telling stories. Judging from Zhang Yimou's directing experience, Zhang Yimou has a strong ability to control the picture and has a good ability to express modern themes. In fact, if you look at the early works that Zhang Yimou participated in, from "Red Sorghum" to "Alive", there is nothing to say about Zhang Yimou's skills.

During this period, even if there was controversy about Zhang Yimou's films, they were limited to whether Zhang Yimou gained international attention by exposing China's backwardness. However, few people questioned the quality of the film itself. After "Hero", several films such as "House of Flying Daggers", "The Golden Armor", and "Three Guns" were released, and criticism of Zhang Yimou suddenly increased. In addition to some remarkable things about "Heroes", the next few movies are really cheap. The appearance of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Return" made people lament that the familiar Zhang Yimou is back.

In fact, looking at Zhang Yimou’s experience, we will find that Zhang Yimou has two serious flaws: First, due to the limitations of his growth environment, Zhang Yimou’s historical accumulation is not high, so once the subject matter exceeds his Within the scope of experience, it is easy to go astray; secondly, Zhang Yimou is a photographer, and a common feature of directors with a photography background is that they can shoot better pictures, but they are not very good at telling stories. As for the imaginative subject matter of fantasy novels, Zhang Yimou is really powerless.
