"Drug Network" uses three lines to narrate the story, and these three lines are displayed with three color filters: they are all devoted to the eradication of the national drug erosion cause but found that the cute daughter has been eroded by the justice line with blue Color represents cleanliness, restraint, and calmness; when he was born to death, he found that his boss was the umbrella of a big drug lord and his brother died tragically. The rough yellow represents toughness, violence, and conflict; the pampered life was forced to be prosecuted because of her husband’s drug trafficking. The housewife who took over her husband’s business used soft natural colors to express grace, peace, and truth. As the plot progressed, the Mexican police was shocked by the tragic death of a good friend and decided to cooperate with the American police. The color of the filter changed from yellow to natural. The wife of the drug dealer changed from a carefree after being suggested by her husband. When the housewife was gradually "blackening" and negotiating with the Mexican drug manufacturing group, the color of the filter had changed from a natural color to a yellow that was full of crisis and violence.
In the scene where Helena went to Mexico to negotiate with an institutional group, the plot went through a reversal. From the drug dealer’s absolute advantage to Helena’s victory in the negotiation, the camera’s view of the two main characters has always been a close-up and a closed composition. The two shots of the two thugs next to each other were shot slightly upwards, letting the audience. Feeling the tension and pressure of the negotiation, and with Helena's interpretation, the camera zoomed closer and the tension increased, creating a feeling of dominance and squeeze. And the light from an empty window behind Helena corresponds to the darkness behind the representative of the drug manufacturing group, and it can be seen that this contest will win or lose. In the foreshadowing of the plot, the audience can always feel Helena’s weakness in the passive situation after her husband was arrested: In addition to the huge debt, the dark forces of the drug cartel also want to harm her and her children, and she She is also a pampered housewife who is pregnant with her husband and knows nothing about her husband's career. In order to live, even if she knew she was unreliable, she had to commit herself to her husband's subordinates; she even asked the police who monitored her home for help to protect her children. This series of descriptions made the audience sympathize with her. Therefore, when she went to Mexico to negotiate with a drug manufacturing group alone, doubts may arise in the audience: Is she desperate and intends to do something stupid because of desperation? However, from the beginning of this negotiation, we can see that she is not a canary who has no preparations for the city. She knows that the method she holds will become the channel of interest that the other party dreams of, so she behaves very strongly. The high-contrast light reflects the character's perseverance attitude. Since Helena entered the space, he has always used front and back. The two protagonists always have one person facing away from the camera and the other facing the camera, which reflects the struggle between them.
Although this film is natural and smooth, without artificial intentional stylization, and therefore uses an unstable follow-up effect similar to a handheld camera, I personally think that this effect is for some shots, such as: Helena came out of the court and received many media The chasing scene is useful, but it doesn't seem to make much sense for more scenes, and it may even make the viewer's vision have a dizzy physiological feeling. For example, in the scene mentioned above, the confession lens in the screen has shown that there are only Helena, the negotiator and two thugs in this space. This kind of shaking lens makes people have an illusion that there is still a third in the space. Five people. A stable lens may be more able to show the inner game and strong self-confidence of the two negotiators.
