Zhen Huan + Kosem Sultan × Quote

Despite the visibly difference between the Ottoman & Chinese harems in how in the first the concubines were slaves taken from their families and in the second the concubines were girls called for an election, the reason for Anastasia and Zhen Huan to be picked have the same origin: idealization, Ahmet found peace in a potrait and Yongzheng only found happiness with his wife, and when the same girl from the potrait & a girl with a very similar face to the late empress were separated from their families to reluctlantly serve them, they kept depriving them of their own identities to treat them as those fantasies, peaceful and perfect versions of them they had built in their minds, and those young girls went from being themselves to become the purely good and obedient persons they needed to be to feel loved by those men, to find security and be cherished, manipulated enough to think everything they did was truly for the good of the people, blind to the monstrous egos that were ruinning everyone that disobeyed them, so deeply brainwashed untill reality hitted them, with Zhen Huan it's clearly the trap of the late empress' clothes, together with her family's poor situation and the care she was getting only for her pregnancy that makes her realize why is she truly so favoured, the lie she's been living in, while to Kosem the unlearning comes from an slow yet violent process after Ahmet's death, when she has to fight for her family after Ahmet didn't leave the laws to do it, when she has to realize the fantasy of pureness he had showed her, the idealization of her role in the throne, is no more than a lie that kept her unprepared for the changes and wars to come. In both cases, they gain awareness of the system and use their skills for more than helping their monarchs, they form their own separated goals and outlive them for many time, the way they chose to end with this idealization it's very different, for Zhen Huan it's a planned & very direct revenge, while Kosem's revenge it's a little bit more symbolic: after all, the person who was kept in only a potrait & an idealization everyone made of him was Ahmet, yet the complex and strong ruler who carried the weight of the empire for the rest of her life was no one else more than her.

ㅤㅤㅤ— Востаннє назви мене Четвертим принцом. Назви мене як тоді, коли ти тільки увійшла до палацу. ㅤㅤㅤ— Чжень Хуань, яка колись увійшла до палацу, уже давно померла. Хіба Ваша Величність цього не пам'ятає? Адже це ви власноруч вбили її. Тепер моє ім'я — Ньюхулу Чжень Хуань.

ㅤㅤㅤ— Моя Цін'їн не така, як ти. Цін'їн була моєю спорідненою душею, розумілась зі мною і поважала мене. Подивися на себе. В тобі від неї нічого не залишилося! Іноді я навіть думаю, що ти ніколи нею і не була. ㅤㅤㅤ— Так. Тої Цін'їн вже давно немає. Тепер на її місці ваша імператриця, втомлена та виснажена.

Shadow (2018)

Zhang Yimou’s Shadow has a lot going on visually. So much that you might not grasp it all. Between the expertly choreographed fight scenes, gorgeous cinematography, lavish sets, costumes that’ll make your jaw drop and the epic Chinese wuxia storyline, you won't know what to focus on unless the material is somewhat familiar to you. It’s an exercise in storytelling that shows off what the director has to offer when he’s in top form.

Years ago, the kingdom of Pei lost the important city of Jingzhou to the kingdom of Yang in a duel between Commander Ziyu (Deng Chao) and Yang Can (Hu Jun). Ever since, Ziyu has plotted to reclaim the city and get his revenge. His plan - a complex set of moves which involve his body double (also played by Deng Chao) and wife, Xiao Ai (Sun Li) - goes against the will of the king (Zheng Kai), who will do anything - even offer his sister (Guan Xiatong) as tribute - to maintain the peace.

Think of this film as China’s equivalent of Macbeth. Not in terms of plot, but in terms of feel. You've got these deeply-running schemes and all-or-nothing gambits fuelled by a mixture of pride and opportunity. Every action sends dominos falling in unexpected directions - or so it seems. Like Shakespeare’s work, this may make the story difficult to follow at first. The opening text screen talks about a third kingdom the Yang and Pei kingdoms united against before Pei lost Jingzhou. That third kingdom? Doesn’t impact the plot at all, it’s there to establish this world’s foundation and because this story is based on the classic 14th century historical novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” which you’re probably not familiar with but everyone in China has seen interpreted in countless ways.

Though it isn’t essential to fully understand the concepts of Yin and Yang or the forces associated with them to enjoy the film, knowing a little will unlock a deeper appreciation for the artistry on display. I’ll admit I had to so don’t be shy. Understanding the symbolism of an umbrella, water, and femininity vs. that of fire, masculinity and a straightforward weapon like a spear makes things much more interesting. Suddenly, that giant Yin Yang arena the warriors battle upon takes on a whole other meaning. It’ll also make you understand why so many of the characters in this film seem… so reasonable. Even the villains are a mixture of black-and-white, a decision that’s very much intentional.

Let’s say you don’t catch all the symbolism upon a first viewing. What does Shadow offer for you? Awesome battles whose outcomes are unpredictable and breathtaking visuals. Is that enough? It will be. The colours are so desaturated you'll wonder if the film was originally shot in black-and-white. There is colour there, however, and it evokes the look of ink drawings. It’s moody and makes you think of ancient powers whose reverberations still impact our world. One look at a set or a character unleashes a deluge of information. Even if you don’t know what the movie is actually about, you understand where everyone stands because what’s here is largely universal in a primeval kind of way. It's familiar without being predictable.

The more Shadow sits with me, the more I like it. Initially drawn in by the story and the action, I’m now enchanted by the symbolism. This is the kind of movie you’ll rewatch and always discover something new. (Original Mandarin with English subtitles, April 3, 2020)
