About This Movie
The Meridian of War, released in 1990, embodies a raw and gritty portrayal of the human spirit amid the chaos of war. Set against the sweeping backdrop of the Great Wall, the film conveys a haunting atmosphere, marked by its slow, deliberate pacing that heightens the tension. It’s quite striking how it focuses on the innocence of children caught in the crossfire, juxtaposed against the hardened soldiers. The practical effects, while not elaborate, effectively ground the film in a realistic setting. Performances are nuanced, with a palpable sense of desperation and resilience. It distinguishes itself by exploring themes of survival and the fragility of youth, allowing for a meditative reflection on the impacts of conflict. Definitely a unique piece in any serious collection.
