Tian zhu ding (2013)
A sloppy and uninspired mess of a film
Throughout this entire film, I was forced to ruminate over all of the missed opportunities for depth and dramatic tension and epic storytelling--I was met instead with poor acting and unevolved filmmaking. The initial premises were there, and some scenes laid the groundwork for potentially deeper statements and cinematic depth--but the director failed to execute. Each of these stories left me deeply unmoved, unsatisfied, and unamused. Watching this film required laborious strain, with no deep reward.
I felt no passion for or interest in the characters in this film; they seemed to exist primarily as placeholders for the mastbutory pursuits of the director. Shallow individuals doing pointless and unevolved things does not equate to great cinema. What a mammoth disappointment.
