The drama is a typical Zhangyimou-styled show, though it is not produced nor directed by Zhang himself. Intriguing and moving storyline, magnificient settings, splendid audio-visual effect, excellent narration in singing, and the spectacular performance by the actors and actresses all made the one-hour-and-a-half show a highly spiritual process of catharsis to audience, with the feeling of sorrow, happiness, smiles, and tears interwoven when they were leaving the "theater".
I bought a VCD of the show at exit. Somehow or other I will find a 70-inch TV to play it with and watch the show on screen again.
張藝謀拍這類專題和紀錄片相當不錯
他到底是攝影出身,對畫面,尤其是色彩的敏感度高
但是,他拍的電影太過隱晦、陰暗,常以討好外國人取材(針對國際影展?)
令很多中國人看後不爽,不敢恭維。
