The women's group is not a fairy tale for you. The fresco from the director Painted leather turned out very much in the Chinese picturesque watercolor fairy-tale style: exquisite lines, thin outline, images of beauties. It's the fairy kingdom, the world of women. Beautiful and sophisticated in appearance. Full of passion, rivalry, jealousy in fact. The man is the main stumbling block. A stone thrown into the pool of women's desires. The consequences are unpredictable. For the sake of love, a woman is ready for anything. This is her enlightenment.
The main heroines, and here it is women who are the main heroines, are represented in all beauty and diversity: an imperious queen, a young girl, with the first love, a cheerful simpleton, a closed one is not funny, well, and Betty Sun, whose character is like a moon among the stars - beautiful, strong, proud and vulnerable, selfless and contradictory. Male characters are also archetypal: a robber-brutal, a village naive-innocent servant, well, the main character is a student, practically, a Chinese classical Shurik. Quite curious is the golden warrior guard performed by Andy On. But he is rather an attribute of a fairy-tale world, an ideal keeper wholly owned by the fresco and its heroines. The whole plot is based on the dialectics of the male and female principle, the earthly and fabulous worlds.
Weak by Hollywood standards, special effects, a script based on one of the novels of Pu Sunlin (" Chinese Hoffman), the isolation of the scene in fabulous sham scenery make the film look like a TV show. In the best sense of the word.
The film has a special atmosphere, with a concentration on heroines, with the aching sadness of life, the weakness of strong souls.
The resume is an interesting, primarily beautiful half of humanity colorful fairy tale, with a classical basis and accurate psychological types.
