I've heard of this movie for a long time, and it's very famous, but I don't like to watch movies, I don't like to watch movies at home and abroad, and the number of films read is quite low. That's the year that changed.
After watching it in one go, I can't help but sigh that time is too fast, and it turned out to be a movie from 30 years ago. However, 30 years later, it is still a good film. Why didn't I like watching movies before, and I didn't like it so much? In addition to being affected by the environment, and my own preference for watching**, it may also be poisoned by bad movies, and I finished watching it, I didn't have any feelings, I didn't have much impression, and I couldn't experience the charm of a good movie.
The story is not very special or complicated for me who seems to have heard this story in **, although it was quite bizarre for 30 years ago. A wronged banker, and his nineteen years in prison.
It doesn't seem to be used in any special way, and the plot follows the timeline little by little, but it's not boring. It seems to be very flat, but there is a driving force to attract you to watch it at every node. And some details that will be used in the future will always be very reasonable and conspicuously arranged in the previous plot. So when you see it later, you will feel that it will be suddenly enlightened, and it will be taken for granted, and you will naturally be impressed. That is, the so-called "grass snake gray line, traveling thousands of miles".
The development of things always needs to be reasonable, for example, the male protagonist is a high-IQ banker, and then he will become the tax preparer and counselor of the prison guards, and he will become the best person to launder money for the prison warden**; Because he loves geography and studies stones, he will have the rationality of digging the wall with a small hammer in the back, and the clues left for his friends in prison to distinguish by stones. He is kind-hearted and loves to help others, so he will help the young prisoner with his tuition, and only then will he learn the truth of the case many years ago.
Speaking of which, I can't help but complain about the "Annual Meeting Can't Stop" I just watched two days ago. The online reputation is good, but it is because it has captured some empathy points of ordinary office workers. But here I am really very ordinary, not to be studied in detail, a worker who can only one skill, completely by mistake into another unfamiliar field, and then continue to rely on mistakes to complete the next feat, is neither common sense nor in line with human design. I even feel very separated from the characters and the things I can do, so I call it a fairy tale, which is very restrained and polite.
Going back to this movie, in addition to the plot, there is also depth. I didn't understand what redemption meant until I read it, but I realized it after reading it. The male protagonist can not be passive and uncompromising in such a bad environment as being wronged and imprisoned, smart and brave to get out of his own predicament, find his own unique way of survival, and be able to influence others and bring spiritual and material improvement to others, which is not only the salvation of himself, but also the redemption of others. Of course, the words of the Bible must also have a certain point, but I don't know about the cultural differences.
Of course, there are also changes in makeup and character expressions.,Although the male protagonist is the same person.,But the state of his eyes and expressions.,As well as the slight changes in the hairline and facial makeup.,You can see the change in age.。
And there are many details in the movie that reflect various changes, inadvertently, but very appropriately.
Cheng Er said to Wang Yibo that if you see more good things, you will know what is bad. A good movie has a long aftertaste, and you will be impressed by many details and have a lot of feelings to express. Every detail, every episode, and even every expression can make you taste it again and again. If you want to dig into more backgrounds and details that you haven't thought of yet, that's what makes a good movie.
I hope that there will be more and more really good films in China.
