It's good-looking, but the ending was unexpected. This ending is different from a suspense movie. If you really understand the heroine, it is possible to predict the ending. Director Dan's work is probably a clear stream in the era of big studios. The subject matter is very wide. When I watched Arrival before, when I watched the two killers, I thought that this sci-fi genre was quite different. Today, I feel very good when I look at his biographical works. The video style of Director Dan's works basically has a little concept. The themes of these films are very serious, there are many close-ups of characters, and they pay more attention to texture, so the tones of several films are cold. Then, the lighting and scenery are not complicated, and there is not too much visual pressure. What is important is the depth of field and the sense of space of the picture. In terms of music, of course, it is necessary to suppress a little, and there is almost no chance to relax. The rock soundtrack that appears twice in this film is an exception. Of course, the shots of the work can also be carefully pondered. There are two outstanding shots. One is the long mirror where the mother went to the south alone, the lonely bridge, and the people on both sides who are not equal, from the human face, to the barbed wire, and then to the impressive From guns to passing through the turbulent and noisy crowd, the loneliness and determination of a mother, the oppression of war, and the transfer of psychology and different time and space are perfectly expressed in this shot. The second is to deliver the first child in a hut. The light source is only a simple flashlight. The production in the dark is full of religious meaning. When the umbilical cord of the child and the mother is cut, it seems that they have been marked with a crime in hell. 's imprint. Needless to say, the plot of this film is adapted from the play of the same name. The whole chapter is divided into chapters, which makes the context a lot clearer. Otherwise, the space and time span of the film is huge, and there are often flashbacks. Without the method of chapters, it feels a little chaotic. Historical events involve blind spots, which is the same when watching Frontier Killer. Watching such movies and doing your homework in advance will still give you more insights. The work has successfully created a formidable and atypical mother image. Under the ravages of war and fate, the great motherhood blooms in the wasteland. Although there are almost no intimate shots of mother and child in the film, the inclusiveness of mother's love directly hits the soul of every audience. God seems to have completely lost to this woman. Movies in which individuals overcome fate are not uncommon, but not all of them have such profound philosophies. The work also introduces some mathematical theories as hints, which is also a very good design. On the downside, it may still feel that there are too many dazzling elements, and it played out in more than two hours, which may not match the epic theme of the film itself. In the end, it is still highly recommended, and Director Dan's future works are also looking forward to it.

    The slow motion of Radiohead at the beginning is the truth, and the subsequent evolution is all along the way. The chapter narration makes the film exude a strong epic atmosphere. The woman's survival trek, the family's blood trace, one up and down, undercurrents surging. The answer is not wonderful, only the lingering forbearance in time.
