Chinese directors, in terms of technology, such as the use of lenses, are indeed very good. Even if many people don't like Zhang Yimou, the slow-playing martial arts episodes in "Heroes", with their gorgeous colors, have their own splendid beauty. In other words, how to tell a story is not difficult for Chinese directors, but the story itself is difficult.
Whether it is Wang Xiaoshuai or someone else, most of the so-called films that reflect reality are to set up a big environment with materialistic desires, ancient people, indifference and cruelty, and then put the innocent and pure protagonists in this meat grinder. After a pile of flesh and blood appeared, he pointed at it and said: Look, how ruthless reality is! Although it is not that I have not been infected by the fate of the characters in the film, I hate this kind of film because of this sentimentality, and I always feel that my emotions are being played with by the director. "Others are hell", the fate of anyone who is in conflict with the external environment is tragic to some extent, but to deliberately highlight such a feeling, it seems that the whole society is persecuting that little courier. Gives me a little "staged stage" feeling.
This film is still deliberate. From the very beginning, the film emphasizes how the people in the city are and how the people in the country are. Later, in the sauna, the director's intentions have been revealed, just like a question that has already been known to the mystery. For me, this movie still doesn't have the naturalness to let people soak in it slowly, but has the pressure of being forced by the director to experience it. Even every line has its well-designed meaning, which is not a compliment, but that this movie is too crafty.
In movies that reflect a certain social disadvantaged group, most Chinese movies have such a craftsmanship, oppressing the whole world on a small person to highlight the injustice of fate. Instead of making a movie like this, it is better to use a real method to shoot a documentary. The real is always more impactful than the fictional stage. In other words, using the narrative technique of "East Palace and West Palace" to blur the background into a poetic narrative, it's a pity that after Wang Er, no one is so romantic.
