Lin Lingdong's Western Films
Precious 2022-01-12 08:02:24
This is the third work of Hong Kong's realist director Lin Lingdong after entering Hollywood. People are more familiar with Lin Lingdong's Prison Situation series, Fengyun trilogy and Rogue Goofy. I can’t say that this movie is a classic of prison movies. Although the prison fights are made very real, because this movie has zero room for copying, it does not surpass the Prison Situation series, and it can even be regarded as an attempt to cater to the United States. The audience's American version of the prison situation. So I don't think this work is a classic of prison movies, but Lin Lingdong is an insurmountable character in prison movies, so although this movie cannot become a classic, it cannot be surpassed. Regarding this film, I now excerpt an interview. It can be seen that this movie was made for the sake of making a movie, and naturally it cannot become a classic: "Lin: Making comedy is an escape. I am a very pessimistic person, but I have a happy side. I don’t know how to play in movies. Since there is so much pressure in real life, I can only make comedies. Another way to escape is to make western movies, because their social life has nothing to do with me. It’s a story no matter how you tell it, but you have to make it. It has to be dramatic and beautiful, and the content does not directly conflict with my life, so it is not so hard, but I hope that each drama can leave a reflection of its own mentality for a period of time."
