      Fugitive - Gorgeous Sadism of the Police

      The opening chapter sneered at the communists, making the political performance of the great poet seem comical and childish, making people confused whether it was Zhuang or Xie. Later, with the pursuit of Neruda, political intrigue and self-performance were vividly expressed as fugitives-a gorgeous sadomasochism of the police: the cunning and arrogant fugitives, the shameful and inferior policemen started the game to be remembered in history, and Santiago all the way to the history. South,...

      Chasing your head! ——Remember "The Pursuit of Neruda"

      Agent Oscar, who was sent to hunt down Neruda, was muttering to himself again, with a scowling face on the balcony late at night. The neon lights of HOTEL were flashing. He was neatly dressed and smoking a cigarette. Great detectives have absolutely no idea what they're doing, what they're doing, what they're doing, and most importantly, why they're doing it.

      The two shots, front and back, are neat and have the confession of the loser, which is regarded as one of the few effective...

      the troubadour on the run



      In Chile's political goth master Pablo Larraín's new film, the director dug up a "sacred monster": Pablo Neruda, the 1971 Nobel Prize winner for literature. "The Hunt for Neruda" cannot be considered a biopic because it depicts only a brief and dramatic period in the protagonist's life: the fifteen months from January 1948 to March 1949, when the poet as a A senator and a prominent member of...

      All you want is a grand escape

      "I like that you are silent

      as if you disappeared

      you listen to me from afar

      My voice can't touch you

       …”

      I believe that most people first came into contact with Neruda because of the above poem translated by Li Zongrong. This poem is the fifteenth from Neruda's collection of poems, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair . There is a song in China called "Break Up In That Autumn". It was very popular in high school. There is a narration at the beginning...

      The Hunt for Neruda: The Poet's Context

      (Written by Zhi Ning on June 4, 2017)
       
             Hiding and searching, evasion and pursuit, inducement and self-realization, the wonderful wrestling between poets and spies, intertwined and advanced with beautiful sentences like poetry, the film "Chasing Neruda" (Neruda)" is not a biopic in the general cognitive sense. It is more like the interpretation and remodeling of the film's protagonist, the famous Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, by the film's creator.
             The creators seem to...

      【Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Screening】The poet's escape and being chased are photographed in a poetic way, and the policeman who is the chaser either fell in love with Neruda, or his poems, or fell in love with him The pursuit of Neruda. All in all, it's a mystery, and it's gods and gods. I slept many times in between. At the end, the sun on the snowy mountain has too many light spots on the lens, but it destroys the smooth...

      Three and a half, the so-called "red elements" once again became the protagonist of the screen, but this time it appeared in an extremely poetic and literary way. A long political poem can follow in the footsteps of great men, even if its opposite exists, there should be no regrets. North America has Paterson, Asia has roadside picnics, and South America has Neruda. There is no shortage of poetic life in this...

      Since it is a biography of a poet, the film seems to have a kind of poetry flowing. I see the chasing detectives as a following, mingling perspective, and although they only meet at the end, it seems as if they have long been fettered in the process of escape-hunting. On the surface, Neruda was the target of persecution, but in reality, the detectives were just following Neruda's great personality. Therefore, he can only be the footnote of this film and the footnote of Neruda's wonderful life,...

    Under the direction of Pablo Larrain, "Neruda" is not a biopic in the strict sense, but more of a "new invention" based on real events (Time Net Review )
    Neruda is a juicy blend of biography and film noir, where the director and writer honor Pablo Neru in an unconventional, indirect way. There are many characters in the film that are real, but the character of Peluccianu is completely fictional. Through the perspective of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Óscar Peluchonneau: [into microphone during a national radio broadcast] Hello Chile. The poet is a public menace, and an unforgettable lover.

    • Álvaro Jara: What you want is a great escape. Yes?

      Pablo Neruda: I won't play the fascists' game. I'll become their worst nightmare. In order to do that, I need to be a popular giant.

      Álvaro Jara: You can't do that.

      Pablo Neruda: I already have.

      Álvaro Jara: No, you can't. People would say you used this persecution to become a saint. That we were never actually oppressed. That we like to play the victim. That we like to suffer. But they're killing us, for real. Look. I only ask you to be a bit more humble. Good luck on your journey.

    • Delia del Carril: [to Neruda] Being with you is beautiful. It's like living on a tree-lined street.
