而事实上，《三枪拍案惊奇》成为了2009年度最受争议的影片之一。

But instead, it turned out to be one of the most hated films of 2009.

张艺谋曾说，之所以创作《三枪拍案惊奇》是为了博80后、90后一笑。

Zhang Yimou once said that in making A Simple Noodle Story he really wanted to make the post 80s and 90s generation laugh.

因而，《三枪拍案惊奇》像极了一个大厨用上好原料却煮过头了的浓汤。

So, it's like the master chef with all the right ingredients spoils the soup by over-cooking it.

正如一则评论所言，问题的关键在于，《三枪拍案惊奇》不是奥运会开幕式，也不是央视的春节晚会，它是一部电影。

The problem, as one critic has pointed out, is that a film is not the Olympic Opening Ceremony, nor is it the New Year Gala on CCTV.

另一部是张艺谋的最新电影《三枪拍案惊奇》(又名《一个女人、一把枪和一个面店》)。张艺谋的经典电影《红高粱》曾在1988年成为第一个获得金熊奖的中国电影。

The other is the newest film "San qiang pai an jing qi" (" a Woman, a Gun And a Noodle Shop "), by Zhang Yimou, whose classic "Red Sorghum" won the first Golden Bear for China in 1988.
