The Poet is not a new film. Strictly speaking, it is even a film that Zhu had to show in order to keep his popularity, but in my opinion, the quality of the film itself is still worth looking forward to. After all, in this film, Zhu once again chose to subvert his own image, and he and Song Jia began to interpret a story belonging to a nobody. In the story of this movie, Zhu did not choose the tough guy image that he was good at, but became a shabby low-level character. Just like this perfunctory name, Li Wuyi is just a nobody, but even a nobody, Wu Li still has his own dreams.

Although The Poet has been labeled as a romantic movie, it is more like a satirical novel with very practical significance. In the first half of the film, Wu Li fell in love with his wife. Although Wu Li is just an ordinary coal miner and his wife, Chen Hui, is just a workshop worker, the man works hard outside and his wife takes care of life at home. There is no lack of hope for life. But the turning point of the story will come soon. Wu Li came across an old poet at work. The latter came to the mine to experience life and others respected him. For an instant, Wu Li seems to know that he wants to succeed, and he also wants to get rid of the current difficult life and become a master. After Wu Lida achieved this goal, he decided to become a poet. He began to spend all his time getting a diploma and learning to write poetry. Chen Hui also helped her husband copy poems, and even gave up the opportunity to go to night school.

Wu Li eventually became a poet, but it also ruined his life. His wife went to someone's house to ask for the publication of Wu Li's poems, but Wu Li thought that his wife had betrayed him. In the second half of the film, the poet doesn't have much love elements, and the film doesn't describe the scene of their separation too much, but in the blink of an eye, he jumps to the fact that they are no longer in contact with each other. On the other hand, although Wu Licheng was a poet, he missed the era when poets were popular. He became a poet, but instead of becoming the master he wanted to be, he lost a woman who loved him deeply. The release of the poet seems to be a good thing in the days when all kinds of exaggerated special effects movies are released in turn. It not only satisfies our desire to explore life, but also soothes the hearts of the audience. I believe every audience will be amazed at the new performances of Zhu and Song Jia after watching The Poet.

In acting, Zhu and Song Jia both made breakthroughs this time. The film will be released in three years, perhaps just looking for a suitable opportunity. Now, with Zhu gradually coming into the audience's sight, The Poet may once again become a classic of Zhu and Song Jia. "The Poet" was shown at the Tokyo Film Festival on 20 18, and the audience did not hesitate to give favorable comments. However, the douban score of this film is not high, reaching 6.6, but in my opinion.
