Coming into this movie I was unaware that this was based upon a significant poem in chinese history so it was really neat to learn about that in this type of medium. Lots of twists and turns but I can't help but feel mixed about the whole movie. While I love that they tried to take a lighthearted comedic approach to this murder mystery, there were many times where the editing just felt wayyyy over the top for me, especially during the scenes where they are doing something as simple as walking from one location to another, it felt like a jumpscare when the loud ass music would earrape me in the theater. I enjoyed the overall outcome of the film but there were parts that felt way too extra and over the top for my taste.
