Character evaluation
< p>Zhou Ziyang is a very talented director. His scripts are not only well written, but also have full characters. He is not a professional filmmaker, but his use of images is more bold, and he has a natural and powerful force. In the movie "Old Beast", the audience will be shocked by Zhou Ziyang's unique introspective perspective, which breaks away from the narrative themes and perspectives of usual debut films, while his attitude as an author remains clear and powerful. In addition, it also clearly reflects what Zhou Ziyang calls the mixture of realism and literary temperament. Although the director cuts in from a small perspective, the display of humanistic and social sentiments is real and delicate (Comprehensive reviews by Tumen, Global Network, producer Liu Xuan, "Film Literature", and "Sichuan Drama").
