Just to show how "powerful" AI is, "It" came up with that answer in less than 5 seconds. No human, however learned in the Chinese language, could do that. So, be afraid, be very afraid.

<p>My interpretation (of the &quot;not so good writing):</p>
<ul>
<li><p>在 《影》 的写意镜头里，中国文化符号 是<strong>晕染竹林烟雨</strong>，是<strong>八卦太极阴阳</strong>，<strong>其中的极致反差对比</strong> - the sharp/extreme contrast of 晕染竹林烟雨 and 八卦太极阴阳.</p>
</li>
<li><p>将片中角色的<strong>情感外化</strong> 与 人物的<strong>情绪内收</strong> <strong>双线合一</strong> - it weaved the primary character's two (opposite) personalities - &quot;unrestrained affection&quot; yet &quot;reserved emotion&quot;, into one string (the film).</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Note the &quot;opposite personalities&quot; in the 2nd sentence echoes the &quot;contrasting Chinese cultural symbols&quot; in the first.</p>

<p>在 《影》 的写意镜头里，中国文化符号是晕染竹林烟雨，是八卦太极阴阳，其中的极致反差对比与冷凝窒息感，将片中角色的情感外化与人物的情绪内收双线合一.
I don't understand the meaning of &quot;其中的极致反差对比与冷凝窒息感，将片中角色的情感外化与人物的情绪内收双线合一&quot;. Could somebody please explain?</p>

It is like a bad writer tried too hard to sound profound. Using incoherent grammar as if he is trying to confuse readers. Simply put, I have no idea what this guy is talking about

This was my original translation (it has to be said that I originally translated the passage directly to italian, so it might not sound very fluid in english) 
In Shadow's shots, which recall ink and water paintings, Chinese cultural symbols are portrayed by the drizzle of the soft-edged bamboo forest and by the images of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams

My interpretation (of the "not so good writing):

* 在 《影》 的写意镜头里，中国文化符号 是**晕染竹林烟雨**，是**八卦太极阴阳**，**其中的极致反差对比** - the sharp/extreme contrast of 晕染竹林烟雨 and 八卦太极阴阳.
* 将片中角色的**情感外化** 与 人物的**情绪内收** **双线合一** - it weaved the primary character's two (opposite) personalities - "unrestrained affection" yet "reserved emotion", into one string (the film).

Note the "opposite personalities" in the 2nd sentence echoes the "contrasting Chinese cultural symbols" in the first.
