Mads Mikkelsen in the Danish film "The Hunt". The story tells how the lies of a little kindergarten girl ruin the life of a middle-aged divorced man. Later, I saw him in the American drama "Hannibal" and became a fan of him.
I didn't read the introduction or comment before watching this film. The slightly suspenseful plot also made me wonder about the next development. Since Jacob embarked on a journey of seeking help, his life and mission have also undergone a turning point. The terminally ill wealthy businessman Qiao Zhen asked Jacob to "take over" to take care of his wife and daughter. In the end, he became the helper instead.
As the plot progressed, dark images such as bloody deer eyes and fiasco lotus leaves flashed out, which served as a backdrop to the despair of the wealthy businessman Qiao Zhen before his death. In fact, will the decision in despair be the most correct and sensible one?
A lot of close-ups of the eyes were used throughout the film, such as Jacob's eyes in shock when he learned that he had a 20-year-old daughter, the lips of his daughter Anna when she was crying, and the many desperate eyes of the wealthy businessman Qiao Zhen. These documentary-like shots are so detailed that you can clearly see every pore, as if you are watching the movie face to face, giving people a stronger sense of substitution and more realism.
In the end, Jacob returned to India. The boy he had taken care of since he was a child was reluctant to go to Denmark with him. Perhaps this also indicates that Jacob does not belong here. Denmark is his home, and he missed 20 years. Ex-girlfriends and daughters need him more.
