Jia Zhangke can't take care of making a movie anymore

"The Children of the Rivers and Lakes" further exposed the problems of thin details, dull narratives, and constant repetition of his own elements in the stories of Chief Jia since "The Destiny of Heaven" and "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers". This is also an issue of the film system and ecology. Deeper thinking and fresh elements cannot be seen, but the feelings are stronger and softer. Jia Ke looked at his daughter-in-law with tender affection. Teacher Ren Zhaotao made a arrogant performance in front of the camera. From the first scene, she entered the casino by accident. There must be such a stubborn girl in Datong City. However, Teacher Zhao Tao stared Danfeng's eyes and shook her head in an arrogant Peking Opera fan performance, rushing from youth to vicissitudes of life in a hurry. It was a disaster for her husband's nostalgia or homesickness. Liao Fan asked for the second brother with a serious face, and I sprayed it. Section Chief, are you here to make a comparison? But this kind of light humor didn't hurt the style of the whole movie, it was harmless.

What I am most dissatisfied with is that the section chief, children and daughters are there, where are the "Jianghu"? In the Hong Kong film songs that constantly exaggerate emotions? In a video hall full of mahjong, all around the world, and nostalgia, or in a street fight? In the clever trick of blackmailing Zhang Yi? Chief, are you trying to shame me? Oh, by the way, didn't anyone say it a long time ago? There is no underworld in China! There will be no rivers and lakes. From several discussions about holding guns, it can be seen that the section chief made the greatest compromise for the film's release and took the completely opposite path to "Destined to Heaven". With the name of Brother Wang Zhong but deleting all the scenes of Feng Pants, it has to be contemplated. Probably "Jianghu" is on the lips of Binbin and Qiaoqiao. You are a Jianghu person, and I am not a Jianghu person. With it, you are a Jianghu person. Where there are people, there are Jianghu people. Section chief, can we get to the surface and concept again? "White space" is fine, but too much white space can only expose paleness and laziness. When the Fenyang boy turns into a cultural business card and a cultural and youth leader, he cannot be expected to have the creative impulse and rigor of the year.

The only comfort is the persistence of aesthetics. Chief Jia’s greatest charm is the low-level Chinese society in his lens where the countryside and surprises are mixed, trivial and mediocre, and the spectacles, all kinds of modern appearances and the inner mixture of earthy scum. Hybrid tillers give birth to all kinds of strange aesthetic and ethical wonders with no bottom line. With a bicycle in the mouth, a big man’s funeral jumping the national standard, and singing love songs in the circus. All kinds of comedies and farce are being staged every day in this living China.

In addition, this time Mr. Jia's movie is lackluster, and I give a maximum of 6 points.

    More like the daughters of the rivers and lakes, and cleverly as the rivers and lakes as deep as the sea, from now on the mountains and rivers are all passers-by. Twenty years of vision of China, all the people encountered along the way were female thieves and male prostitutions, who came to them with love and righteousness and became helpless. Compared with Jia Zhangke's previous work, the social symbols have faded. Datong Fengjie along the way is a gift from the director to his wife. It is also a look back at the stages of his creative career. The new film is expected to start a new journey. PS: Liao Fan is very good.

    So sassy! Zhao Tao, I'm used to watching it! Chinese Wonder Woman! Especially the Shanxi chapter! Especially Hong Kong and Taiwan songs! Especially old videos! It doesn't matter if you repeat, whose signature dish is not fried every day! The degree of completion is very high, and it gives a lot, and it is affordable! Each scene has beautiful details and designs. Although the rhythm is a bit split, the earthy flavor is so addicting and self-confident! The daughter-in-law diagnosed Liao Fan at the first sight. After watching it, she told me that this film is about listening to women, otherwise there will be a brain hemorrhage! It can be said that there is also educational significance
