When a colleague recommended it, he mainly pushed some elements of violent aesthetics. After reading it, I felt that the director's expression actually contained some feelings: a genetic mutant of a monster, and finally a girl in red came to save the newborn. Do not hesitate to die with his own family.
For the whole film is toned in dim yellow, the setting of the girl in red, although not so natural, is also a bit of a classic scene from Schindler's list.
The film is aimed at the phenomenon of the nuclear explosion dust left after the multiple nuclear tests in the United States before and after World War II, causing pollution and serious physiological effects on the residents of the surrounding areas. After watching the film, in retrospect, I still appreciate the director's thoughts and ideas: first degrade: monsters attack and slaughter civilians (it also represents the anger and hatred of the affected residents towards those in power), which is also the direct impression of the film. , here's the title translated from Hong Kong - Massacre in the Deep Mountains, it's really a little weak... Such an expression structure makes the whole film full of rich logic and philosophical thinking under the somewhat bloody appearance.
From the point of view of the index school, I have two conjectures:
1. In terms of production, it may be because of the script that makes the film more bloody, and these connotative factors are added by the director during the shooting process. Later, I went to the information introduction of the film review and found that the director and screenwriter were the same person. First, I felt that it was ridiculous to make guesses without carefully understanding the basic information of the movie. more aware.
Two: The director should have a very deep understanding and contact with the people affected by the nuclear explosion. It is even possible that the director is one of these vulnerable groups or it is unknown.
In short, the film is not a simple mindless film. In turn, I am even more delighted with the special charm of the "inconsistency" of film art. As the title of the film suggests, there are eyes across the mountain: the truth is far from being as simple as it seems. Just like Bian Zhilin's "Broken Chapter": You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you upstairs... .
