      If the whole film is filmed in a different way of thinking, it can be upgraded to a higher level

      The whole film is too procrastinating, and wants to express the moral ignorance of people under the autocracy, and also wants to reflect that democracy can bring positive orientation to society. It

      is interspersed with the son's wandering between right and wrong, which is actually inseparable from his father's money. I want to show that I have a conscience.

      All in all, these plots are not necessary. This biography is not satisfactory.

      In other words, if the story...

      The epitome of Argentina's dirty war

      In 1976-83, the Argentine military government ruled the country. At least 20,000 dissidents were secretly killed and disappeared forever. During this period, the society was turbulent and people were panicked. The father in the film participated in the dirty war. At the beginning of the film, he participated in the military reception and briefly explained his identity. It is not difficult to understand why the hostages were killed after taking the ransom because he thought these people deserved...

      el clan

      Not a film review, just a personal opinion.
      I've been waiting and watching since last year. Generally speaking, surprises are owed. However, on closer thinking, there are still a few scenes that feel classic.

      After the woman was rescued, a puff of cigarette, accompanied by the shouts of the mother and the girls, was also a family, another family.
      The interspersed political speeches showed the disappearances in society at that time.
      When committing crimes, the pictures...

      A typical family with common problems

      The most interesting thing about this film is that although this is a very rare criminal family in daily life, in fact, the way this family operates is surprisingly similar to an ordinary family-if we regard crime as a "family" "Needs", treat conscience as "needs of independence".

      There is a "king" in this family who is the father. He has achieved high personal career (criminal) achievements and is fully responsible for the survival of the family. Accordingly, he also controls everyone...

      Advantages in the soundtrack and selection

      The first film I saw at this year's Hong Kong Film Festival. Looking at it as a commercial film, it doesn't have enough ups and downs. As for a literary film, there is not much author style. Pablo Trapero won the best director of last year's Venice Film Festival for some reason. I don’t know much about the dark history of Argentina, and I don’t understand the motivation and motivation of my dad’s kidnapping. My son’s personality changes before and after, and I finally jumped too suddenly. The...

      Personally, I like "EL clan" in my heart: the soundtrack is very burning. There is a scene that left a deep impression: the eldest of the family preaches, the adult members deal with the hostages; the young eldest son is having an orgasm with his girlfriend; the youngest daughter and the youngest son are making sculptures and watching TV. The three plays run in parallel, and come to an abrupt end with the sound of gunfire. The conflict between the eldest son and his father is also the key...

      4.5 There are some strange places in the plot, but it is actually more suitable for a series, but the multi-layered connections and conflicts between the evil patriarchy, individual choice and upper-level forces, coupled with the director's sensual and majestic images are really good-looking and shocking, the male protagonist And plain clothes aunt police are too...

      It's not very good, it's inexplicable if you don't know the history, most of the shots are just focused on their family, it would be much better if the rendering of the era environment would be much better, and the last one escaped the trial is even more...

    Evaluation action

    "El Clan" is a reality-themed film based on current abuses, adapted from real people and real events. The story of the Crane family is also quite exciting. The ancestor is in an important position, but he does the kidnapping and soliciting money. But in terms of the specific crime plot description, the film is really lacklustre. As a work with extremely criminal elements, the film really lacks stimulating elements in terms of viewing....
