But my intuition tells me that this should be the legendary "movie from the sky".
1. Few crime films can be like this film. While discussing the conflict of human nature in extreme situations, it can also discuss the value identification of old age, the crisis of women in mid-life and the judicial system in a deformed social form (the case occurred in the dictatorship of the Argentine military government). period) and other issues, arouse people's thinking. What is equally commendable is that the editor and director handled so many clues in a well-organized manner without being messy, which shows the superb skills.
2. After the film was laid out in an orderly manner for nearly two hours, it ushered in an amazing reversal at the end. The impact this Twist has given to the audience is no less than that of another masterpiece "Memories of Murder" in my mind. Let's take a look at how the choreographer sows the seeds to create this final burst of tension.
The film focuses on depicting the plot of Morales spending a year at the train station waiting for the murderer, setting such an anchor for the audience-the image of being loyal to love and doing whatever it takes for revenge. At that time, the camera showed the back of Esposito talking with Morales, which strengthened the impression of two sturdy men supporting each other in a helpless predicament in the minds of the audience.
Later, the film described Morales' anger and helplessness after learning that Gomez was acquitted and became an accomplice of the military government.
However, after a lapse of 25 years, when Esposito reunited with Morales in the Andes, he couldn't help but be amazed at the fact that his partner, a strong man who still misses his deceased wife, refused to enter him again. life?
Is it really "his life only"?
"Even if you give him a shot and take a nap", "What if you give him four shots?", the subtext is not exactly "how can I counteract my hatred".
Finally, in Morales's answer, Esposito approached the truth of the incident in his insight into his "hobby" that would never give up if it didn't reach its goal...
3. The actor's performance was perfect, the heroine Elena is especially amazing, especially the reality part of the mature period, her smiles, frowns, gestures, Tango rhythm is full...
4. The situation of this year's Oscars is that there were no outstanding crime movies in the United States last year. If Ruffian Kun's "The Unscrupulous Bastard" is elected, the foreign language film "Love in the Corner of the World" has a certain chance of winning; The Best Foreign Language Film will definitely come from this film, as well as three crime films including "The White Ribbon" and "The Prophet". Feng Junhao's "Mother" once attracted much attention, but unfortunately it failed to enter the finals, which is a pity, but since there is a "Cui Hao inscribed poem" like this film, it can be said that it is a glorious defeat.
