The film revolves around a murder case, interspersed with the feelings that gradually sprung up before the male and female protagonists. At the beginning, the story did not weaken the background of the times. Argentina was in the era of warlord rule, and as a legal worker in an era without democracy and justice, there is no doubt It is sad, but there will still be people who stick to their own morality and justice. The main characters in the story are these people. However, how can the limitations of the historical era be that a few small individuals can jump out? Revenge, love, justice, dirty politics, the powerlessness of the little people in the context of a huge era, there is a scene in the film that makes people can’t help but rub their hands and feet, when the hero and heroine and the proud murderer are in the same small elevator At that time, they couldn't do anything, only fear and anger and resentment and heavy depression.
Visually, this film has an exceptionally brilliant long shot. The aerial photography plus the wonderful positioning and post-processing are very enjoyable, and there is not much trouble here. As a director from Hollywood, Juan’s dedication and dedication to the camera Excellence is reflected in this movie. A lot of close-ups are used when shooting characters. There are not many panoramic shots. It pays attention to digging out the actual inner state of the characters from the language and expressions. Some shots are very cute, and some are more. Emotional renderings or passages where the emotional power of the system is oppressive, you can see a very obvious Hollywood shooting style. This kind of film has high requirements for the editing rhythm of front and back. Although there are many dialogues in this film, But the rhythm is relatively fast, so for most viewers, there are no obstacles to watching the movie. Almost all of the film is warm tones, mainly to reflect a sense of the times.
However, this film is different from some other humanistic films. Its main tone is warm. The feature film feels vicissitudes of life, but it is not cold. This is the feeling that the director hopes to give people. We can naturally understand it with peace of mind.
The most turning point and breaking point of the film is at the end of the film. Benjamin’s answers drawn after repeated thinking and speculation finally solved the knot that had existed in his heart for 25 years. The victim’s husband, Ricardo, tried to calm his loss. The hatred of love has secretly imprisoned the murderer for decades. Using this extreme method to calm the hatred in his heart can be regarded as an explanation to his beloved wife, just as Pabaro said: a man will never give up My hobby, of course, this hobby also includes love. At first Benjamin never understood that Ricardo loved his murdered wife so much, and the murderer was at large. Why could he survive these 25 years? When he saw the truth, His heart knot opened, and his 25-year love for Inina also began to express.
In fact, the most brilliant and moving thing in this film is love. It is the love that little people can do against the background of the big era. It is the most in line with the warm tone of the film, also It’s the only warm element of the movie. It’s hard to forget the parting picture of the train station at the beginning of the film. The love that is still to be spoken is well known to both parties but has not been revealed. The beginning of this paragraph is treated with a special filter, which makes people floating. The free but implied affectionate beauty is quite wonderful and ingenious.
The film defeated "White Ribbon" and won the best foreign language film. In fact, there is no difference between high and low. Different cultures have different aesthetic orientations. They are all excellent films. The Oscar is just a symbol, which can only reflect the aesthetic orientation of some people. Any of the two films is well-deserved, one is the profound and sharp black and white, and the other is the thick and gentle warm yellow. They are both excellent high-quality movies of the year.
The last thing I have to mention is the original sound of this movie. As an original soundtrack, I have to applaud this movie again. The piano music in the movie is very harmonious but unique, and perfects the love and hate in the background of the big era. It is obvious that the excellent soundtrack also adds to the film a lot, the vicissitudes of life are full of rich charm, the last few cellos are also very easy to resonate in the hearts of the viewers, and the creation of the atmosphere and the sense of substitution does not stop at least at least. That kind of heaviness can't be created casually, and express the highest respect for the master of the soundtrack behind the scenes!
Some things need to be aged and thick to have the strongest flavor.
