Film Review "The Legend of the White-haired Witch 2"

The description of several emotions in the film is no longer as colorful as in the first film, and the rich relationship between characters also makes the plot expression of the whole film more exciting. Compared with the old version 1980 directed by Zhang Xinyan, this film is remarkable, especially for the treatment of human nature. The conflicts and inner struggles between the characters in the film are very interesting. (Sina Review)

Yu Rentai's two "bride with white hair" are completely divorced from the old version of "bride with white hair" filmed by 1980. From the film, we can see many characteristics of the new martial arts film, which is extremely elegant in lighting, art, photography and other visual techniques, in sharp contrast with the old image in the old version. The perfection of the picture making makes the rivers and lakes in the film look dazzling. On the one hand, Zhuo Yihang, played by Leslie Cheung, is proud of his talent; on the other hand, he is willing to do what he wants, breaking away from the simplified passive Nuo Nuo of the old role. Many contradictions and inner struggles of the characters in the film are completely reflected in their thoughts, which is an excellent opportunity for an actor and can also be said to be a disaster. Fortunately, Leslie Cheung seized the opportunity. (Tencent Review)

Negative evaluation

This film gives people the feeling that the ingenious conception and the exquisite adjustment of the plot in the first film have been lost from beginning to end. As far as the plot integrity is concerned, this film cannot be produced independently, and the climax of the film is only the sublimation of the first plot. The description of several emotions in the film is no longer as colorful as in the first film, and the relationship between characters is too complicated, which makes the whole film look quite messy.
