At the end of 2015, the little plums of "Wild Hunter" and "Bear Day" became the new meme. This Jack Nicholsant-type actor, who has been in the fight for the Golden Man for many years, but whose qualifications are hard to satisfy everyone, has never been closer to the Oscar Golden Man.
But can he really have the last laugh? Is he worth the last laugh again?
It's hard to say, and it's hard to say.
"Wild Hunter" is not an ordinary movie. Director Alessandro Gonzalez Inarito just killed the Quartet with "Birdman" last year. The photography is the about to super god Emmanuel Lubezki, the two starring Xiao Lizi and Tang Lao Shi is a famous instrument. But in the end, the feeling is somewhat like another, live-action version of "Dinosaurs".
The visual effects of "Wild Hunter" are stunning and full of natural light throughout the process. It is full of strong impact, and people can't help but wonder how difficult the shooting process is. However, under the almost poetic picture, the story itself is difficult to reach the same height as it can match it-the extremely simple revenge/survival story is simply a customized version of Xiao Lizi’s face of bitter and enmity, but in Simplified to almost no lines, at this time when the actor's skill is extremely tested, there is still a long way to go from Tom Hanks of "Leaving a Deserted Island", not to mention any personal breakthroughs.
On the contrary, Tang Laoshi's superb Texas red neck accent is very catching and devilish.
As the lowest-rated work in the Golden Globe Award-nominated Best Drama Movie, the key factor that makes "Wild Hunter" difficult to attract more praise is the irreconcilable contradiction in thought and expression. The visual pursuit of poetry and realism at the same time, the pursuit of simplicity and greatness at the same time, the excess internal power and insufficient external motivation, a large section of Terrence Marek’s "Tree of Life"-style stream of consciousness and surreal scenes, a lot of extreme coldness The pain and bloody cruelty were flooded with redundant fragments everywhere, which invisibly interfered with the transmission of information again and again.
The perspective of "Wild Hunter" is more indifferent and distant than any previous work, trying to maintain a certain distance from the characters, and has a documentary color. There is a sharp contrast between poetic beauty and ugly violence. The knowledge of history and modernity between Indians and colonists, and even Mexicans, is intertwined here. Director Inaritu seems to want to show a broad, macroscopic and more complete view of history, through the magnificence and purity of nature, to reflect the sadness of human nature and destiny. But since "Birdman", Inaritu, whose confidence has soared, is a bit addicted to himself, too much narrative-this is very destructive to the narrative.
All in all, apart from a slightly monotonous and dull revenge story, "Wild Hunter" has become a heartfelt ode to nature, a call to primitive wildness, and a visual feast full of retro spirit. "Wild Hunter" is not perfect, and as much as a third of its time is wasted in places that are not helpful to the narrative. But as a bold attempt, "Wilder Hunter" is not an exploration of the soul-
but it is far from washing.
