Just can't pierce that layer of window paper

Right now, the first article of the film's NewsDesk page on IMDB is: Zhang Yimou's "Three Guns" became the box office champion. I don't know whether the Chinese should laugh or cry when they see this news. Americans bought the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" to win the Oscar, and we are very proud; instead, the Chinese bought other people's classic works to make money, and they also brazenly shouted to entertain the public all day long. I was blushing anyway.
The Coen brothers have seen a lot of films, but most of them are star-involved works, "Raising Arizona", "True Love", "Three Kings", "Old Woman Killers", "Money Empire" and later "Money Empire" Burn After Reading", I always felt that the two brothers were a little lost when they made a star movie. Although they were still black and humorous, their energy was always a lot worse. I really started to like their works from "No Country For Old Men", but unfortunately I was too young when I watched "Murder Green Toes", I didn't understand it when I watched it, and I don't remember anything now. Now inspired by director Zhang Da, I was fortunate to watch the brothers' famous work "Blood Maze", and found that it is really similar to the later "No Country for Old Men".
The cracks in the door that see through the light, the murderous protagonist, and the pierced and bleeding body have been repeatedly reflected in "The Old" and "Blood", and they play a very important role in rendering the tense atmosphere. What do you think? Someone will die all the time, but I just don't know when it will happen. It's quite Hitchcock-like, but more explicit, more cruel, and more realistic.
The story structure of this film is super delicate, but it does not let you see the deliberateness, it is the kind of sophistication in the rough. Everyone is doing what they know, like a blind person touching an elephant. Only the private detective understands the ins and outs of it, so he doesn't play much time. At this time, the audience becomes omniscient and omnipotent, watching the love triangle with tears and laughter. The protagonist is poor and tossed, and he has no urge to rush to the screen to tell the truth. It is very powerful to see them fighting to death in such a confused way.
I don't know what Director Zhang's adaptation is like. Maybe next year or the year after, I will take a look at it. Of course, I need to watch it with the mentality of not being serious, not being serious, and purely entertaining what Director Zhang asked.
