Character evaluation

The film "the story of a deserted city" has reached a very high level. Xu Xiaoli combines the reflection on the nation, culture and history with the type mode of black comedy, and explores the creative attitude and creative methods of the current realistic problems in the depth of history, which is worthy of affirmation and appreciation (Li Daoxin, Professor of Peking University). Xu Xiaoli believes in Buddhism and has a unique understanding of life and doctrines. What Xu Xiaoli is infatuated with is the essential phenomenon that survives in the crevice of modern civilization and breaks out at the critical moment in reality. They are distorted, have a hazy moral outlook, are persistent in their work, and have an inexplicable sense of justice. What he reveals is the young generation's urban feelings of longing for freedom, their self-consciousness and dissatisfaction with reality, as well as a challenge to their own life. In the impetuous Chinese film world, he shows a fresh and detached character and rare soberness, which is more extensive and profound (China entertainment online review). in the impression of many audiences, Xu Xiaoli may be Luo Xiaoman who stands on the war-torn street with small glasses. He retaliates with a slingshot, ignites a gasoline tank, and finally dies with the enemy. Maybe the film "red cherry" is too old and the theme is too revolutionary. Xu Xiaoli's name will remind the audience of little Ma Lie in the film "Tian'anmen", but no matter who is in-depth The role of heart portrays a glorious image of revolutionary decency. However, it is such a straight forward Xu Xiaoli who plays the role of Playboy Lao Mo in the movie "ultimate match", and starts a thrilling journey with Lao La played by Chen Xiaodong. At the same time, Xu Xiaoli seems to be somewhat cynical in his life. Whether acting or doing business, Xu Xiaoli is a person who knows how to live and how to be grateful. He always strives for perfection in his work style (Tencent Entertainment review).
