Movies that I would definitely give up in the first hour if not so many people watched it together. But after watching it, I found that it was a little strange.
1. Why does it feel bad?
① The elements are too mixed. And several different things didn't blend well together, giving it a dead pull together. This shortcoming was very disgusting at first (but after reading it, I don't feel it).
②The rhythm is flat. It is that the whole is very flat, and it only seems to be arresting from the forest escape.
2. Why do you think it looks good?
①A side description of a war (you have to read it to the mother to know that it is the theme). War films are rarely profiled, and are profiled in this literary stream of consciousness. There is a lot of white space and imagination. It is not easy to achieve a complete narrative without affecting the audience's understanding while retaining the imagination space. The situation with this film is: the full story may be an iceberg, but I only show the audience the tip of the iceberg that emerges.
②Sensual, but restrained and blank. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. To be honest, there are more disadvantages. There's a strange feeling here: the writer's expression in a few conflict scenes is very subtle (the fucking climax is over), but the camera and director are extremely provocative when it comes to the language of the camera. These are two extremes. But the rendering power of the lens language largely makes up for this shortcoming of "flat".
③ Photography and soundtrack. Without these two items, minus 40 points. They did a great job, but I was repulsive at first. It's a mix of types. But after reading it, I realized that it was a fucking emotional side-scrolling depiction of a war -- well, so I accepted the soundtrack and the style of photography.
I can only say that you won, director, which made me want to complain, but I held back.
