In fact, the plot of the film can probably be guessed when watching the introduction: the Scottish bastard is going to be a dad, and he wants to change his mind and stay away from the past life but has no way of doing it. At this time, he found that he was quite talented in appreciating whiskey. , Karma will partner with friends in a "stealing wine" operation.... It is possible to infer the direction and ending of the whole show, but why can you still feel joy, touch and surprise while watching it? This is Kenro District, he has reached a considerable height in mastering the rhythm of the narrative and arranging the flow of the plot. He doesn't show off any tricks, doesn't show off the director's personal views too much, and doesn't deliberately create exaggerated comedies, and you will still like his work.
Kenlow is known as the "British Conscience." From this film, you can feel the sincerity he wants to bring to the audience. He cares about the little people around his life and meets every day. He doesn't need to have a face and a poignant, dramatic eulogy that does not pursue poetry, but is simple and tells the story in a complete, interesting and touching way.
On the whole, The Angels' Share is just a short story, which can be completed without Hollywood or any mature film industry. But why can a short story win the Cannes Prize? The reason is definitely not because of the sign of "Kenlo District". As a creator, I often struggle with various doubts such as form, technique, and attractiveness, and the definition of popular and refined is to be or not to be. Even many directors who have made their debut for a long time still reveal in their works hesitation, hesitation or pretentiousness, ingratiating, or extremely deliberately unpleasant, or crazy obsessive pursuit of a certain self-indulgent situation. However, you have rarely seen this in the works of Kenlow in recent years, but you have the most sincere and calm attitude as a narrator. After getting rid of the exaggerated performances, colorful special effects, and exquisite soundtrack, how can things that are easy at first glance attract people's attention, make people laugh, and have humor that is both playful and nonchalant?
Creators should reflect on themselves, because they often face the most difficult part when returning to the roots.
