Stylized images and realism, in fact, is the new wave coming again

Summarize where the new wave is:

1. Personalized images, defocused, swayed, out of the picture, and the lens is designed according to the idea of ​​chaos from the outside rather than the plot that the audience wants to see. An accident is connected to an accident on the screen, creating a sense of chaos.

2. The appearance of the characters in the plot is also the same. They do not follow the logic of the plot (a sense of security, will make people feel "I know") but follow the chaotic logic of real life (life will not give you any hints). The "punished" of the security guard and the little girl gave the protagonist a real aura of evil. The chaos is like a mire that will cause ordinary people to fall into it, and it will come and go invisible like a demon wind. These two innocent people are exposed to ordinary people. The true portrayal of the edge of evil, especially the little girl, fully demonstrates the human nature that things without faith will automatically slide into chaos and evil (non-derogatory).

3. The fighting scene is really brilliant, almost no complete action, a kick flying in from outside the screen made me feel like I was beaten. It is similar to the Korean Feitian Kick. These details prove that the creators are not slanted, but have risen to the mainstream level.

    Compared with Safdie's previous work, this one is actually a lot more refined in terms of audio and visual, and it lacks those deviant and explosive strokes in "God Knows". Wufang really encountered a rare role. The male protagonist is good at taking advantage of his appearance, and he will never give up if he fails to achieve his goals. The character design is basically equivalent to a star, so let's play in another sense.

    The preciousness of the Safdie brothers is that their images show the tenacious and dynamic ant-like vitality of urban streets and alleys, which has never been truly depicted in American films after New Hollywood, and refuses to be eroded by living buildings. In this serious version of "After get off work" and the frivolous version of "Murdering the Underground Boss", the neon electronic sound is just a label of the times, and what really flickers is the excellent inheritance of Scorsese and Cassavetes .
