《投名状》是中国电影大片演进中的又一产物。该片表现出了电影创作中的现实主义态度。通过对一个古代兄弟情义故事的讲述和艺术再现,着力刻画出了三个面对兄弟情义却呈现出不同的价值追求和人格信念的人物,真实而象征地刻画了激烈竞争中的社会状态下,人与人、与利益、与信念的关系及其不同选择。同时也为中国古装大片对现实主义的继承和深化提供了新的思路。 “Warlords” is another outcome of the evolution of the Chinese movie blockbuster. The film shows the realistic attitude of the film creation. Through the narration and artistic reproduction of an ancient brotherly love story, it endeavored to depict three characters who showed different value pursuits and personality convictions in the face of brotherhood, and vividly and symbolically depicted the fiercely competitive social conditions. The relationship between people, interests and beliefs and their different choices. At the same time, it also provides new ideas for the succession and deepening of realism in China’s large-scale costumes.
