The first "The Devil is Coming".
In my heart, this film can be called the best anti-war film. Jiang Wen's lens language is majestic and atmospheric, containing many details worth savoring. For example, the estrangement between the Japanese Navy and Army, as well as the subtle differences in the attitude of Japanese prisoners of war towards ** and the American military, are all meticulously captured and presented. A good war film should reflect on war, rather than promote or glorify it, which Jiang Wen handled just right.
Both Ma Dasan and Hanaya Kozaburo have the word "three" in their names, which seems to be a clever echo. When Ma Dasan was before the execution, the numb people around him mechanically responded to the question of the ** representative, and this scene seemed to vividly put Lu Xun's words on the screen. With scalpel-like precision, Jiang Wen profoundly analyzed the characteristics of the Chinese people in a specific historical period.
When you understand why this black-and-white film appears in color at a critical moment, you can deeply appreciate Jiang Wen's unique artistic ingenuity. This work is not only an anti-Japanese war film, but also an exploration and reflection on the depths of the national psyche.
The second "Alive".
Hemp rope is easy to break in weak places, and bad luck always finds the sufferer. A detour in history books is often the life course of a generation or even several generations. I still remember the Sunday afternoon of my freshman year of high school, after reading the original book on the floor of the Xinhua bookstore, closing the book, and watching the people coming and going in the bookstore with tears in my eyes. The movie is more warm, although it still brings tears to people's eyes. In addition, the film's soundtrack is very touching, the cinematography style is calm and atmospheric, the black humor is full of political satire, and the plain and simple expression highlights the sadness and helplessness. Although some of the radio slogans and backgrounds in the film could not be translated to foreign audiences, the film still won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes, and Ge You was also named Best Actor for his outstanding acting skills, which is completely deserved!
The third "Tengu".
This is a domestic masterpiece that makes people feel heavy after watching it, the mountains and forests in the film are guarded by Tengu, a forest ranger, with his life, but in reality, who dares to use his life to protect the mountains and forests of the earth? This is the Chinese film that we should praise, not those curious stories or twisted corners. It is said that the original work is even more tragic, and the social reality of the countryside in some areas reflected in the story is very real, even more real than "Blind Mountain". Although the director has made some soothing treatments in the plot and ending, overall, the film is still a rare work of conscience. In the end, I hope we can have more shocking movies like this to make us even better.
The fourth "Blind Mountain".
Blind Mountain, a film that reflects social reality, profoundly reveals the social problems behind the phenomenon of trafficking through the main perspective of trafficked women. During the process, I kept telling myself to stay calm and control my breathing. However, when I put myself in my shoes, if there was really a "Bai Xuemei" in real life, would I choose to lend a hand? Frankly, the answer is no. Because in this seemingly humane village, there is actually a set of unwritten rules that form a huge spider web that makes it difficult for people to escape. The film came to an abrupt end at the end, which not only showed the heroine's tenacious struggle, but also left the audience with deep room for thought. In short, the story presented in "Blind Mountain" is a real social phenomenon and is tragic. It reminds us to pay attention to social issues and think about how to better protect vulnerable groups and reduce the occurrence of tragedies.
The fifth "Hidden in the Dust".
Hidden in the Dust is a very textured movie that is amazing. This is the first time I have seen a film in the theater that shows the life of a farmer so realistically, and the details are very well handled. The camera images in the movie are like paintings with the texture of oil paintings, which are pleasing to the eye. On the basis of a very realistic sense of reality, the characters are vivid, two protagonists who have been marginalized by society, bit by bit, build their own small home, and the director shows the sincere emotions between them vividly through delicate lens language. There is no dramatic exaggeration in the whole film, but a prose-like plain approach that touches the hearts of the audience. After it was over, I fell into deep thought for a long time. All in all, "Hidden in the Dust" is a very complete work, far exceeding my expectations. The whole story is like a poem about farming life, and it is difficult for people who have no experience in rural production and life to make such a delicate and realistic film.
