So why are there so few reviews? The reason is that although the stern style of this film is very unique, in a harmonious society, there are not necessarily many people who recognize this style; or the Chinese and English subtitles produced in China in the early stage are poor, and it will be difficult to read if you are impatient, hindering the audience; There is also a history of violence, the hero of the film, Viggo Mortensen, who plays a villain-like role in this film.
The subtitle problem in the early release of this film is still the most prominent. The bound Chinese subtitles or the subtitles from the shooter are unknown. The English version of the subtitles is not satisfactory. But with the passage of time, I believe that satisfactory subtitles will be completed soon, which will help the audience to appreciate the film more clearly.
As for the film itself, the director's relaxation is moderate, the camera moves in and out, the characters are dynamic, the plot is unreal and rhythmic, and the editing is well done. After reading it from beginning to end, I am satisfied that this is a classic excellent work.
The organic combination of sternness and warmth in the history of violence is perfectly used again in this film. The title cuts the throat sharply, which is excellent and powerful to transition the audience to the interpretation of the plot. The relationship between the characters in the middle and later stages of the film is clearly revealed. The framing section of the framing once again subtly and powerfully stirred the audience's nerves; then Viggo Mortensen's friendly notification to Naomi White in the ward made us strongly identify with the noble character of Mortensen's undercover character ; Until the final rescue of the baby and then the emotional burst of the hero and heroine, the moment of warmth and comfort is soothing, which is perfect.
The characteristics of this film are unique, the narrative is full, the characters are real, and the plot is firm and soft. It is highly recommended.
