As a film dedicated to the centenary of Tsinghua University, Tsinghua graduates and students account for a considerable proportion of its creative staff. The title of the film is taken from the lyrics of Tsinghua school song, "Knowledge comes first, literature comes later, morality stands, and there is no question between East and West."
The film tells the story of four times, four stories and five lives, which are passed on to each other, as if grasping the core of the same fate. The five leading actors have more or less overlap in the film, but the biggest thing in common is that they all graduated from Tsinghua University.
Wu Linglan (Chen Chusheng) is brilliant, but she has lost her way in her own life.
Shen Guangyao (Wang Leehom) was full of vigor and vitality, but he resolutely joined the army at the time of national crisis and worked hard to complete his mission.
Wang (Zhang Ziyi) tells a lie because of vanity, but she can't wash away her guilt all her life. In the admiration of two men, her choice in life is simply to decide who to look for first.
Chen Peng (Huang Xiaoming) is extremely forbearing in love and does what he thinks is right.
Zhang () is becoming more and more indifferent and utilitarian in the derailed workplace.
Compared with the story itself, Bian Xiao prefers Li Fangfang's narrative structure, which interweaves with each other and tells the stories of five young people in four eras. Some netizens criticized the film for being too didactic. There is no denying that some narratives in Mo Wen East and West are really too "educational films", but this flaw cannot cover up the rest. Its highlight is that it depicts five different lives, but it never deviates from the theme. Obviously, you can feel the profound influence of the turmoil of the times on individuals, but at the same time you are excited or disappointed with everyone's choice. Pure ideals and love are always beautiful, but we can also see the hidden evil of human nature from Mo Wen West East. Selfishness and deception will never disappear because of the changes of time, which is the saddest place.
Let's talk about actors. The five leading actors, Bian Xiao, are all satisfied. Chen Chusheng's temperament is really excellent, elegance can't get rid of it, and her appearance is really amazing; Wang Leehom seems to have taken preservatives, and the role setting of the pilot really suits him. Huang Xiaoming was not greasy this time, and his performance was impressive. Zhang Ziyi's performance reached its climax after being masked, and Cosmetic Contact Lenses took photos with vicissitudes of eyes. Let's not talk about Zhang zhen, it is a treasure on the earth.
To be fair, Bian Xiao thinks Nothing is definitely a good movie, even if it is not a masterpiece. If you are a fan of actors, or like this kind of literary film, it is really good to spend money to go to the cinema to experience it for yourself. But watching movies is a private matter, and it's up to you to judge.
