This film does not stick to the film interpretation of China's original film, but focuses on the construction of the original history and the historical view of that era. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the country was poor and weak. Against the background of the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty, several scenes in the film show that little-known history.
In the movie, the peasant army attacked the important town of Kaifeng, and the war was fierce and the national luck was sad; Emperor Chongzhen sent Sun Chuanting to clear Kaifeng. Faced with a plague without food, without sound, which is even more terrible, Daming's country depends on Sun Chuanting's head. Faced with such a dilemma, Sun Chuanting made an all-out attack on the peasant army in Li Zicheng for the sake of the imperial court. Finally, Sun Chuanting and his soldiers were killed by what they called "bandits". Life is far from misfortune, Daming is misfortune. Daming Robbery is a historical film with a sad sense of doomsday.
This film expresses the director's systematic thinking on the deep-seated reasons of history. The film has its own unique thinking and extraordinary views on the demise of Daming. This kind of thinking is undoubtedly true, elegant and hardworking. No fanfare, no detailed explanation. More is a sense of perspective, profound reflection and introspection through specific people and things. Sun Chuanting's experience, from the imperial court to the gentry, and then to the whole macro history, is just a drop in the ocean, but the internal logic, the chain of management and the film have been profoundly expounded, which makes people shine and impress. I really like this film.
