A superfluous long shot of "The Isle of Ute". 72 minutes of terrorist attacks, 83 minutes of a mirror to the end, the Norwegians used their own lenses to show their most painful wounds in the 21st century. Unlike Paul Greengrass' "July 22", which focuses on the perseverance of the nation's recovery from trauma, Norwegian director Eric Pope focuses on the terrorist attack itself. The camera follows a girl on the island on that day. Documented her ordeal. From the very beginning of the shot, the heroine told us, "You will never understand." The large-scale facial close-up, combined with the one-shot hand-held shooting, created an excellent tense atmosphere, which conveyed the panic of the teenagers on the island at that time. , Helpless to express nuanced. But as a non-documentary, such a rough shot is too unconvincing and completely a gimmick. The motives of the characters' mysterious behavior make the whole film lose its own event conflict in a terrifying atmosphere. Although the angles are completely different, there is still a big gap in the overall level compared to "July 22". But daring to look directly at the pain points of your own country and to exercise sufficient restraint is worthy of appreciation. 6 points. ps: Interested friends can watch "The Island of Ute" and "July 22" together, and it is more helpful to understand the event in advance.
