Thought of from the movie

A good and plain movie, in today's society that pursues traffic and gossip news, this kind of truth-seeking hard-themed movies are becoming more and more precious.

I remember that Chai Jing said this. It probably means that the pride of a country and a nation stems from having a group of minds and souls who dare to face danger, strive for truth and never give up, regardless of personal interests and gains and losses. The movie presents such a person.

The storytelling method of the film is very advanced. It is only plainly presented without rendering, there are no scenes of tears and tears, and even no emotional background music. It uses compact narrative and unfeeling expressions to show every layer of the event, humane The bottom line, kindness, responsibility and perseverance are naturally revealed in the process of reaching the truth. They are not whitewashed, not sensational, and reach people's hearts.

This is in sharp contrast to those movies that try to move the audience and earn tears by overlying and mediocre lyrical techniques. Looking at the comments, some people say that the scene of a female reporter watching her grandma reading a newspaper under the light is inexplicably sad. The faith of an old man for a lifetime has collapsed, and the film is expressed in a very quiet way. Free to thunder on the flat ground, sometimes a silent lens is worth a thousand words; and some movies are afraid that the audience will not understand, the dialogue, soft light and music are all used.

The important thing is not whether to say or not, but what is important is how to say and how to express.

Not to mention, it is an expression, often a high-level expression.
