After many days of waiting, Am Ha Truyen officially opened with a score of 7.1/10 on Douban with more than 56,000 votes, a commendable achievement in the context of fiercely competitive Chinese historical films. This score shows a positive signal from the general audience, while affirming the efforts of the crew in creating a work that is both dramatic and profound.
The success of Am Ha Truyen comes from three outstanding factors: tight script, sophisticated skills and convincing acting. The film is set in a world of networks and gangsters, revolving around the three clans of To, Ta and Mo - the founders of the mysterious assassin organization "Am Ha". When the To Gia family was poisoned, a series of secrets were gradually revealed, opening a fierce and calculating power battle.
Another strength of the film is the elaborate image and effects. The cold, hazy colors, and the effects of sword and fog create a mysterious lake atmosphere, both beautiful and dark. Many viewers commented that "Am Ha Truyen" has a clear cinematic quality, something rare in today's historical drama genre.
In terms of acting, Cung Tuan made a strong impression with his role as a cold but deep-seated assassin. He portrays the struggle between reason and emotion well, making the character profound and attractive. Peng Xiaoming as the intelligent, resilient and gentle female lead also received many compliments. The natural chemistry between the two main actors helps the film's emotional flow flow flow flow seamlessly, convincing viewers.
In addition to the advantages of image and acting, Am Ha Truyen still has some limitations. Some supporting characters have not been deeply exploited, causing the plot to sometimes lack balance. In addition, the first part of the film has a slow pace and many metaphorical details that make the film "exciting" for viewers. However, it is this difference that helps Am Ha Truyen create its own style, full of art and depth.
With a Douban score of 7.1, "Am Ha Truyen" has become one of the few recent historical films to achieve high ratings from the audience. The work not only recreates a world full of strategy and tragedy, but also sends a humane message: between darkness and calculation, only faith and justice can help people overcome everything.
