No one cheered? I have to talk about...

First of all, I heard that Cannes received the film's closing film. This is a compliment, not as an encouragement. Have good feelings and curiosity.

Then look at the combination of Whitaker and the fairy prince Bloom, which is very novel. There are a lot of Bloom’s fans in the short comment... Most of them gave a low score after reading it, because he had a big breakthrough, as I will talk about later.

Let me talk about Whitaker. I have liked this guy from a very early time. The big and small eyes are especially good at acting, and he is good at playing the role of tolerating to the bottom. The most recent one is "The White House Butler", and the ancient one is Jia Muxu. "Ghost Killer", the audience usually looks at his bad face and feels something is going to happen first. Not only is there nothing wrong, but instead he looks like an extraordinary talent... high-powered. Don't think that he's a fool, the King of Scots has already won the Oscar actor.

From the very beginning of the movie, it has defined a keynote, a very cruel burning of living people, combined with the historical background of South Africa, you can know what happened at once. The protagonist was a child at the time, and started to run. The montage of this run is grafted. On the treadmill after being an adult, the ending also echoed very well.


He is a Zulu, and he has experienced the "purge" of blacks by whites in the history of South Africa. Zulu is the most important nation in South Africa and a great fighting nation in history, but he is now a policeman who maintains law and order. It has already been created and the barriers still exist. He can only work hard to do his job well. Because of his childhood experience, he couldn't fall asleep and insomnia all night. So running, the scene of running appeared many times later. He does not love running, it is his survival instinct. The habit after the outbreak, in other words, is his own sense of existence. Because I feel powerless about the status quo of the community, there is a long run at the end. It is too decisive and too epic. It is an epic of one person. One can only be oneself, otherwise what else can be done.



In addition, sudden bloody scenes like the opening of the movie often occur in broad daylight. I like the way of expression of this lens, which is direct and abrupt. The pseudo-documentary recording method gives people a more real feeling.

The very sudden feeling and the powerlessness of the law enforcement officers reminded people of "Old Nowhere", always chasing after the shop, always slow, and being preempted by crime. The narrative environment in which the movie characters are located is similar to Brazil, so the film "Elite Force" is also quite similar in temperament.

I think it is appropriate to use such a movie to uncover South Africa's sinful past and reflect the "looks beautiful" present.

There were three policemen at the beginning of the movie, but one was hung up shortly after the beginning. So it became a classic black-and-white police detective mode, one clever and fancy, one calm and wise. This configuration is the most interesting and reasonable, so it often appears in movies. This time, the fairy prince Bloom played the scruffy one, ruining the image of the pure white-faced scholar in the hearts of a large number of female fans, and received a lot of negative points and bad reviews. However, it is only natural for actors to challenge their own role positioning. The greater the contrast, the easier it is to gain recognition. Playing ugly is already the golden rule of Olympic bidding, and there are also brain-dead fans who cannot accept the reality.

The rotten girls of New China nicknamed British male actors one by one and kept them in their mobile phones. Don’t forget to cultivate Shakespeare’s soil. Actors have always created apostasy from the present, and fell in love with them. Don't blame them for turning their faces and denying people one day.


The same is to save the world and fight evil. Some people like to watch superheroes, titanium alloys, rich and handsome, shields and hammers. Some people like to watch civilian heroes. For example, Dallas Cowboys, Brazilian SWAT or Philadelphia lawyers... flesh and blood, I like the latter.
