----Inscription
at the end of the horizon, a place you can't see. There is such a group of people, they hug each other tightly when they say goodbye to each other, and always say to each other solemnly, "You have to come back alive!" Then everyone who stays behind hugs everyone who leaves, again and again Repeatedly muttering this sentence.
Since 1985, the international market has turned its attention to the Tibetan antelope. Stimulated by the market economy, the Tibetan antelope in Hoh Xil has been hunted in large numbers. In just a few short years, the total number of Tibetan antelopes has dropped sharply from 1 million to less than 10,000. In 1993, the local government organized an armed mountain patrol. The film "Kekexili" tells the story of this mountain patrol.
Maybe you are a veteran movie glutton, maybe you have tasted the taste and emotion of all kinds of movies, but you have rarely seen a male movie that is as painful as it is, masculine, rough and tragic , bloody, only survival and death are infinitely magnified and magnified in the vast nature of the sky and the earth, giving you infinite pain.
Hoh Xil means beautiful green hills and beautiful girls in Tibetan. In front of the background curtain, a group of people with this heroic complex guard the soul here. At the beginning of the film, a bloody large-area submachine gun is used to shoot directly, and then the poachers skillfully use a sheep knife to peel off the sheep's skin and kill people to leave. This is undoubtedly the reason why mountain rangers have defended Tibetan antelopes and poachers have killed Tibetan antelopes for many years. The epitome of chasing and fleeing on the permafrost plateau, killing and anti-killing, is also the epitome of the entire film.
We can't imagine and can't imagine such a group of people, they lack the government's source of funding, they have no establishment, and they don't have enough legitimate names. They even have college students, teachers, herdsmen, and their composition is uneven. They are only there to protect Hoh Xil. The simple belief of , has been guarding with life for many years in this place where birds don't shit. I really have to say that they are all men with strong bones, but in the face of the cruel reality, they are also powerless and can only stand alone on the snow and wave their hands vigorously, expressing the loneliness and sadness in their hearts.
Of course, all this needs a big background as a support. The director depicts the harsh natural environment of Hoh Xil with a documentary approach that is very similar to a documentary film, the devouring of life by wind, snow and quicksand, and the large number of Tibetan antelope bones and furs brought to us. Visual tremors, the reasons for the lack of morality of poachers, the real lives of mountain rangers, these panoramic records allow the audience to find the answers and the inside for themselves. In fact, most of the actors in the film are non-professionals, and their life-like performances set the tone for the film's realism.
Obviously, director Lu Chuan also has the idea of deliberately highlighting the background and the environment. Snowy mountains, grasslands, plateaus, and even large-scale Tibetan antelope corpses will always occupy the main position of the movie screen, while the outline of human beings is infinitely reduced, and the power is greatly reduced. Compress, squeeze. Carefully observe the picture, whether it is the mountain patrol team led by Ritai traversing the glacier to hunt down the illegal skinners, or when these skinners are exiled by Ritai and walk out of the mountain alone in the wind and snow, human activities themselves are always secondary and important. It is the relationship between human activities and the natural environment, so the proportion of people in the picture is often less than one, and the whole scene appears empty and desolate, highlighting the sharp environmental contradiction between Hoh Xil and human beings. Therefore, even if the director desperately wanted to show Liu Dong's flawed, but unambiguous role, he resolutely turned around to save his emphysema companion but fell into quicksand until he was engulfed. Apart from the close-up, I did not deliberately emphasize this extremely shocking scene, but placed the person in a natural scene and recorded the entire process calmly without using any sound effects. The picture is natural and more atmospheric, squandering the peace of death Extreme.
In fact, there is no traditional view of good and evil at the beginning of the story. When the protagonist first came to Tibet and asked Ritai, the leader of the mountain patrol team, the children were frightened and scattered. The mountain patrol team exists to hunt down and kill Tibet. A poacher of antelope, and he himself is selling the confiscated sheepskin in order to survive, Marx's materialist relativity is vividly reflected here. Regardless of whether this idea of exchanging small violations for major ones is correct or not, at least in Hoh Xil, they can use the most determined perseverance to struggle in the forbidden area of life, be accompanied by faith, and survive with an unimaginable will. Facing the muzzle, Ritai could also throw his last punch, and then he was killed by the poaching leader with one shot, two shots and three shots. Qiangba died, Liu Dong died, and Lausanne cried in the snow in despair, "We can't get out." In the end, Captain Ritai was also lying on that land. Although Ritai is the most portrayed hero in the entire movie, what we see is an atypical hero, a pseudo-hero who withered and collapsed under the oppression of nature, unlike the traditional hero, who will be angry , he will be stubborn and arrogant, but he will die as well. If a bullet makes him fall, he will really not be able to get up.
The whole movie starts with the ceremony of celestial burial and ends with the ceremony of celestial burial, which irrefutably shows that this is a work that embraces death and is also a eulogy for the longevity of the deceased. The celestial burial occupies a great significance in Tibetan culture. Whether it is to indicate the continuous reincarnation of life or to symbolize the endless cycle of life and death, it has already pushed a spirit to the cusp of the times and created a physical hero. There is no praise, no irony, no criticism, no whipping, only the struggle in desperation, fighting against nature, fighting against poachers, and fighting against myself, I have to say that this is an epic about belief, a group of Gobi Desert The sturdy man with the soul and blood can sing through the ages. There is no need to discuss whether the frozen soil in the film can produce quicksand. I prefer to believe that this work is by no means the director's sales of suffering, but that it is an atmospheric and successful soul work, a cry of blood that shocks the inner world. .
We have no right to accuse the skinner Ma Zhanlin of revenge at the end of the story for Ritai's death. There is never absolute good and evil in the world. Ma Zhanlin is also a common man, and he only relies on this to make a living. He is also a recipe under nature. He cannot escape from his own conditions and is also eager to survive. But at least the few lines at the end of Lu Chuan's role as director gave people hope. It has to be said that they were all pioneers and victims. They exchanged the pain of life for truth, kindness and beauty in exchange for the snow in Hoh Xil. The tragic display of metaphysics is the real unique and mature ability to control the film.
Ritai said: "Have you seen people who kowtow with long heads? Their faces and hands are very dirty, but their hearts are very clean."
Yes, their hearts are very clean, just like the always clear blue sky in Hoh Xil.
So the prayer wheel turned, the vultures flew, and the soul danced in the vastness, leaving only Hoh Xil standing quietly for many years.
