"Wilder Hunter": Less routine, more sincere

My friend said that "Wild Hunter" is average. I don’t believe it. At any rate, it’s Xiao Li Zi’s Oscar-winning work. Even if the crowd gives bitterness points, the Oscar judges will not be blind. When I watch it, I feel like, "Director, come here." , Shall we talk about it?! "

This kind of subject matter, Americans are really used to filming. The protagonist must be an American, but he is a fusion of things from Great America and ethnic minorities, such as falling in love with a minority girl and giving birth to a son with mixed blood; the protagonist must master magical skills and be in an environment where others cannot survive Li will definitely survive. Most of this skill is related to nature and full of mysterious power; the body must bear the past, mostly related to a girl, more related to the nation and country; racial conflicts must be insoluble Soldiers who hurt the people of ethnic minorities must not die well. Those who despise religion will inevitably be responsible for the flag they set; no one is absolutely good, and no one is absolutely bad. In the end, the dust will return to the dust, the dirt will return to the dirt, God God belongs to God, and Satan belongs to Satan; the director said that we are only responsible for raising problems and never solving them. In other words, the existence of the male protagonist itself is an answer to the problem; individual heroism may not solve all problems, but Probably pointed out a bright way.

In several places, although it is very thrilling, you know in your heart that the protagonist will not die. He is the protagonist! ! Those who don’t listen to Xiao Lizi’s words, abandon him, or hurt him, I really want to grab their ears and scold them, "This is the hero, keep your eyes open!" Okay, so I can keep my life safe, eh, why did that kind-hearted Pawnee elder brother die so miserably? In order to design difficulties and accumulate emotions for the protagonist, one or two kind-hearted cannon fodder must be prepared. There is one Pawnee girl who successfully slept with Xiao Li, and one poor son who didn’t even have a few lines. Xiao Li is also a strong Pawnee eldest brother. That being said, following the actor may not necessarily end well. Well, the area covered by the protagonist's halo is too narrow.

In some places, I am also a little puzzled. For example, how the captain returned to the camp smoothly, I thought for a long time, "Aren’t the male protagonists all right? Wouldn’t they all die if you didn’t listen to the male lead? I went back unscathed when the host pointed it! Director, you don't follow the routine!" After seeing it, I understood that the human cannonball was used at the end to pave the way for the male lead's climax scene. Screenwriter, you are so sweet! But no matter how stupid I am, I know that the captain can't kill a supporting actor. The bad guys must be reserved for the male lead. Otherwise, why this film was translated into "Avenging Brave" in Hong Kong! I feel sorry for the captain. I also know that when you go to catch the bad guys, you want to bring a few more soldiers. The screenwriter won't let it. The setting of the branches is quite strange, but there is no suspense in the melee.

Seeing that the Indians were looking for the chief's daughter, they knew that the kidnapped girl would be saved by the protagonist in the end, so the protagonist's final lucky ending was no surprise. The poor thing is that the little boy who voluntarily left behind to accompany the male lead for the last time was forgotten how he went to jail, although I know he was used to show that "people are all selfish, and there is no absolute between good and evil." "Boundary", but he took up most of the scene anyway, and the boy did a good job, so let's give someone another appearance.

The most ostentatious place should be the scene where the girl floats in the air. It was a particularly heavy scene, but I laughed all of a sudden, and instantly passed back to Ding Sitian in "Looking for the Dragon". I know that most of the first loves of male protagonists will die by fate, and will become a symbol of soul salvation in the long and painful life, but it is good to run around in the dream and leave a back view. This prestige Ah hung so meaningless!

Director, let's be less routine and more sincere, okay?

It's rare to complain about an Oscar-winning movie, but it's actually a complicated matter. Frankly speaking, from a production point of view, this film is really nothing to complain about. If the director team and Xiao Lizi are not sincere, the definition of the word "sincere" in the dictionary may have to be rewritten.

Now end the Tucao part and enter the compliment mode.

How many little plums are there between "Wild Hunter" and "Wolf Totem"?

When I was in the middle of my childhood, I was scared by the desperate Shisan Lang Xiao Li. I have to say that this Oscar Award for Best Actor is really lacking in moisture at all, Xiao Li is really life-threatening!

When Xiao Lizi got into the stomach of a horse that was freshly cut and still bleeding with intestinal juice and bile, the girl next to him was almost about to throw up. A capitalized "convinced" flashed in my mind. The screenwriter was too desperate. Li's life is so random! I have a lot of brain power. I have discussed with Xiao Lizi and tailored a plot that impacts the Oscars.

"It's really hard!" I couldn't help but leaned back in the chair, picked up the coat covering my body, and still felt a cold air rising from my stomach.

The words that were said to be rotten, "Obviously you can eat on your face, but you have to work hard (desperately)" are put on Xiao Lizi, how can other male artists use it embarrassingly in the future.

I thought for a long time, probably only Huang Bo is the front line that can afford to be so free in China, right? Xiaosheng or something, you let Teacher Changhua trouble too much with the teacher? Mr. Liang, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Wu are also unwilling to do it. It’s okay to practice gossip knives, but eating raw meat is mostly not enough. When falling into waterfalls and being caught by bears, you usually need to use substitutes. The face and fingers in the close-up are all It's so puffy and pus-filled, it's really not a human officer.

My friend Crawl commented that the little plum is over-exerting, or it is better to lift the weight and act lightly. Although I haven't watched "Jobs" yet, I still want to say, forget it, these scenes, I guess Fasha will be speechless after watching them. Back then, Christian Bale lost 56 pounds in two weeks for "The Robot," which is only unusual in comparison.

The story is really ordinary, because we asked him for the best movie, and looked back at some domestic blockbusters. Hey, I also feel that we are unqualified to complain.

Just the extreme panoramic view in the film, and the wolf did not fool with the huskies, so he had to obey the director in the theater.

(The bone pile that keeps appearing in my dreams is a pile of bison skulls slaughtered by the white government to drive out the Indians, representing the demise of the Indians under white pressure.)

In fact, from the perspective of the play, I really think "Wolf Totem" is comparable to one another. The second is the balance and tension of the confrontation and interdependence between man and nature, the relationship between religion (eternal life) and nature and man, the exchanges and interactions between farming civilization and animal husbandry civilization, and modern civilization (perhaps non-civilization) versus tradition and The destruction of nature is not inferior to the theme currently conveyed by "Wild Hunter".

But you can’t expect to make that sense, whether it’s a play, a director, a photography, special effects, an actor, or something else. The movie "Wolf Totem" is no more than an idol drama that talks about things with a wolf. I think that the movie "Kekexili" that was still good back then is only one of the second documentary "Balance" with the same content.

Just like the distance between Feng Shudou and Xiao Lizi, this is really not something that Qian and Yan can solve.

Not long after the movie’s tidbits came out, before and after the Oscars, there were many new stalks in the market. For example, the photo P of injured Xiao Li crawling forward was put on the last scene of Xiao Jin and Xiao Li looking at the camera with the narration "Jury, look at me. How miserable", if the strong photography style of "Wild Hunter" won the Oscar for Best Photography, Xiao Li would be frustrated... Everyone said "Xiao Li is too hard!" "Is it necessary?!" Also vegetarian Xiao Li eats raw meat for the film. The bear is actually made entirely with special effects. In order to capture real natural light, he only shoots for two or three hours in the afternoon every day.

How to say? Even though they were all routines, I couldn't help but sighed and stood up and applauded. We generally comment on the badly filmed but serious film "sincerity but not aura", but when it comes to movies like "Wild Hunter", the words should not be "sincere", but "professional" and "professional". . They probably spent more time on how to make the fur of the big bear more real, shoot excellent light and shadow to reflect the relationship between nature and humans, act out the despair of a father, and convey a director's thinking about white people slaughtering Indians. , Instead of thinking about "whether it is necessary" or "whether it is too hard".
