Needless to say, the significance of this movie to subvert the traditional westerns, but this significance alone will not win the Oscar for best director and film at the same time. The fact is that Dongmu did show his unique director style. If you compare movies to literature, Dongmu’s style is neither a lively action movie, nor a warm-hearted, hesitating, reluctant literary movie, nor a grand and shocking epic, let alone an incomprehensible one. Philosophical film. His style is a man's twilight years, the precipitation of the years, quiet reflection, and unrevealed affection. Don't talk about falsehood, don't talk about the mystery, talk about life, talk about emotions, but don't overrun it, don't pretend to be sad. It can be said that he has mastered this style well, and no other director can play this style like him.
"Unforgivable" was taken in 1992. He should have been experiencing this style at the time, but he was already quite skilled. Simply look at the various elements in the movie:
Needless to say, the script was bought back at a high price by Dongmu, and he has taken a fancy to the theme of the fighter's twilight years. The actor himself could not be more suitable, and then he would be the old man Morgan Freeman. I have to mention that Dongmu, an old guy, really matched Morgan Freeman. The cooperation between the two in many movies in recent years is so tacit and natural. An old and intelligent wise man, a tough and tender fighter, is really boundless, sparkling, and embarrassing. The division of shots and scenes is not hurried, the length of the shots and scenes are controlled at a moderate level, and the shots are rarely cut quickly, so as to promote the progress of the story without rushing or rushing. Most of the cameras are static or moving slowly, creating a solemn and deep atmosphere. The art and props are simple and less fancy, to avoid falling into the trap of FANCY. Then there is music. The guitar at the beginning and the end of the film is one of the finishing
touches. It is simple and soothing, like an old man telling the story of his pillow. The style of Dongmu can be shot, naturally, it is also related to his experience. . When he was young, he played all the heroes of the Iron Man, which made him have a unique grasp of the style of the fighters in his twilight years. I don't know if there is no one who can catch this stick after Dongmu.
