I didn't wait for the exciting things I expected, but I remembered the stubborn back

Although it is nominated for the best picture at the Academy Awards, if it is classified as a suspense film, I think the quality is inferior to "Gone Lover" and "Perfume". An important reason for the direction to lead to the thriller and suspense category. At first, when I watched those two films, I was in shock and unspeakable weakness and amazement in my heart, but I felt that the film was a little distorted, but when I recalled it after a period of time, I felt that such an exquisite conception, the atmosphere presented by the director and the The effect is really rare (of course, please temporarily forget your own values ​​when watching such movies, and don't put movies into your life). A common feature of suspense films is that after one point after another, a series of calm descriptions, they lead to the revelation of the truth or a huge turning point, ushering in the climax of the film, but in this film, you will find that in the I stayed in a low pressure state for a long time without waiting for the last release, until the end of the film, it seemed to end peacefully. Although what happened after the drug dealer's wife took Ree in a boat to find his father in the end can be regarded as a point where it can finally be combined with the horror genre. Of course, it may also be because of the story itself (the story takes place in the Ozark Mountains of southwestern Missouri, USA, Ree, a 17-year-old girl, is caring for her sick mother, 12-year-old brother and 6-year-old sister alone because her father is dealing with drugs. However, Her father's court trial is approaching, and if her father can't show up, she will have to hand over the house and land that he used for bail. So she embarks on a dangerous journey to find her father, alone to face the relatives who are part of the drug gang) and our living environment The background is a little out of touch, so the sense of substitution is not too strong. But if you look at this movie from another angle, considering the drama, it actually successfully shaped the image of the heroine. This is not difficult to see in the other awards it has won for best actress. A strong heroine, with maturity beyond her age, and the masculine characteristics forced by life, when you look back on this movie after watching it, you will find that what remains in your mind is standing on a remote mountain, standing here. The picture of the girl carries a kind of hypoxia-like depression and desolation. The director chose a niche theme, depicting the unfortunate life of those poor people in the remote mountainous areas of the United States, the tragic, desolate, hopeless, rough life that is always in danger of life, but the tenacity of that life is respectable.
