If you like Hollywood-style packaging blockbusters, pursue the intense scenes of bullets flying, explosions and car chases, or you look forward to the flesh-and-blood, passionate scenes, then this "Outside the Pine Forest" is definitely not for you Although there is no shortage of car chases, police and bandits, gun battles, and physical elements in this film.

If you are already bored with the stereotyped blockbuster and start to be more and more disappointed with the so-called blockbuster, then this "Outside the Pine Forest" can completely satisfy your increasingly thirsty expectations and bring you beyond An expected surprise.

"Outside the Pine Forest" is definitely a good name. I believe that friends who have camping experience will have a hunger and thirst for the breath of the mountains. (I am referring to the kind of camping where you have to bring your own dry food and water, as well as tents and sleeping bags. It is the kind of camping in which the eyes are dark except for the bonfire at night, the hands are raised, and the five fingers are not visible. It is the kind of camping. A cell phone signal is a kind of extravagant camping.) The kind of air full of various trees, flowers, mixed with fog and rain in the mountains, for those of us who breathe car exhaust and endure all kinds of weirdness all day long The gaseous urban man, like nectar, refreshes our lungs and delights our hearts. The film "Outside the Pine Forest", in the vast Hollywood blockbuster, has exactly the same effect.

A three-hour movie is half the length of the usual two-hour blockbuster in Hollywood. If the film ends at 51 minutes, there is no doubt that it is already an independent film, and it is estimated that it is called the first paragraph; and the next 30 minutes, there is no doubt, can also become an independent film, which I call the second paragraph; The last remaining part can also stand on its own. But at the same time, it is like a fine gauze, lightly cut in, connected by silk, little by little, the first two paragraphs are instantly revived with breath, and they have been inherited.

Throughout the film, the audience seemed to listen to a leisurely old man in a small town, rambled about a story that happened in the small town where the old man lived all his life. The beginning of this story is just a matter of one person. Slowly, the story involves one family, and then a second family. All kinds of people in the town appear one after another. Finally, the tyrannical vitality of the story continues to the second character in the story. generation. The end of the film, for the audience, is not the ending, but only the current development of the story, and the story continues its own future. And this feeling brings an unparalleled sense of reality to the audience. This kind of story heard is different from a Hollywood story in a perfect package. This is a story with an ordinary, but powerful vitality. This vitality comes from the truth that is not smeared and powdered. This sense of realism permeates the entire film, through the simple tones, through the simple props and framing, through the slag that can only be heard in the small town, but the ending song is full of sadness.

The only pity is that the Chinese translation is still unsatisfactory, and some anticlimactic. Finally, the author showed the film, and felt a little surprise to the audience: if you like Ryan in this film. Gosling. I would recommend to you another film "Desperate Driving" starring him. You can find it on the Internet. I believe you will also get great satisfaction.
