The cinematography in Kangxi Coming is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of Kangxi Coming and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Kangxi Coming?
Rewatched Kangxi Coming last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Hot Take: Kangxi Coming's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought Kangxi Coming was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
