      [Film Review] Monos (2019) 7.5/10

      MONOS unfolds with a spatiotemporal otherworldliness that is both riveting and disquieting, ensconced in a Colombian mountaintop festooned with sublime and mutable cloudscape and thick morning fogs, a cadre of eight teen soldiers is charged the mission of watching over an American hostage, Sara Watson (Nicholson ), to whom they simply refers to as “Doctora”, after being drilled by the...

      What you were born with is what you are.

      Many times, a person is destined for a lifetime. The old captain's child may also be the captain, the carpenter's child may also be a carpenter, the doctor's child may also be a doctor, and even the civil servant's child may also be a civil servant.

      This is also the main reason we often talk about seeing at the age of three, but unfortunately he is in that environment.

      A group of children, naive, playful, naive, trapped in a guerrilla group, expecting a group of children to lead...

      "Monkey" - a fable of barbarism and civilization

      "Monkey", a Colombian film, I don't watch many movies, so I don't know much about this director. Colombia is a country that impresses me with big drug lords and turbulent politics. The social status quo of the country is also the background of the film - the guerrillas established by the rebels lurk in the mountains, train, fight, and take hostages.

      The name of the movie is full of allegorical colors. The word monkey in the movie refers to the protagonists. Their...

      The humanity behind a group of children killing each other in the forest is thought-provoking!

      At the beginning of this year, a film rushed out at the Sundance International Film Festival and detonated word of mouth, and won the Special Jury Award for Drama in the World Film Section of the Sundance International Film Festival .

      Then it was shortlisted for the panorama unit of the Berlin International Film Festival , and it was still a big hit in Berlin.

      In fact, as early as last year's Cannes...

      "Transformers" in contemporary film festival films is sensual and lingering -- but it's a hit, even so (or should I say it?). Every scene is very domineering, no matter the difficulty or the degree of completion is convincing, but the traces of putting together are deep, Lord of the Flies, Apocalypse Now, Come And See, Beau travail, etc., distinguish the two halves One shot to the end (from the objective perspective of the deep mountain cave to the subjective perspective of Doctora, bringing...

      This audiovisual is so good, and the natural environment background is perfect. Lots of close-ups and swivel shots (Lady finds the child hiding under the table) are like psychedelic mushrooms, and the final shot is really...

    Evaluation action

    "Monos" focuses on the eight "Monos" juvenile guerrillas and an American female captive in the mountains of Colombia. The film subtly shows the romantic disputes, the test of loyalty and the life-threatening power struggle in this micro-society. The sensory impact of the whole movie is like a knife piercing through the flesh of the audience's mind, because its artistry transcends the boundaries of the screen. Photographer Gaspel Wolfe...
