In Actor in Place, Li Chengru said that he hadn't seen Chen Kaige's film since The Promise, which implied that he was old. Is the promise really a bad movie?
First, the review of Promise is very poor. Chen Kaige once said, "Promise" won't be understood in ten years.
At that time, after the film "The Promise" came out, many people commented that "The Promise" was a bad film, because many people felt that they could not understand what kind of story the film was about, which was a very inexplicable feeling.
In the face of everyone's bad reviews, Chen Kaige once said that no one would understand the Promise in ten years. Many people think that he only said this because he can't stand the bad comments on his films. After all, Chen Kaige is a famous director, and he is proud.
This also made many people have a bad impression on the film "The Promise", and then the director pretended to be strong and said that everyone didn't understand it, which also made people who originally wanted to watch it stop watching it.
Second, but The Promise is not a bad film. Ten years later, many people gradually understood The Promise and thought that Chen Kaige was very powerful.
However, if many people go to see The Promise again now, they find that it really contains many things, such as the love between Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse, and the story told in the whole movie is also very meaningful, which makes us feel a lot.
He turned into a bad guy for a steamed bread and betrayed his happiness for a beautiful city. The general was misunderstood and killed the king for his own face, and the Kunlun slave could never run away.
Is it quite a bit of gain and loss?
Therefore, in my opinion, "The Promise" is not a bad film, just because it was a bit too advanced at that time, which led many people to understand it. Just like the Yangtze River No.7 shot by Stephen Chow, many people scolded the film at first, but it didn't turn into a dog, and now everyone's evaluation of Wuji is much higher than before, so it can be seen that Wuji is not a bad film.
