"A boring movie"

I had nothing to do last weekend, and I turned out the "Sin Ruina" that I had seen before () read it again.
The first time I saw it was at the school meeting, the resources on Nankai Film and Television.
I admit that there are two types of films I watch. One is those that don’t care about the atmosphere, such as Stephen Chow’s comedies, such as my personal favorite thriller series and George Romero’s zombie films; the other is to be alone and quiet. I watched it sometime, such as this "Sin Ruina". It was really not suitable for the atmosphere of graduation at that time. The constant voices and the past in the dormitory. Because of the interruption, I watched the film of more than 120 minutes for nearly three hours, and the trivial plot made me even more confused.
The second time I watched it, it was on a weekend afternoon. It was a gray and foggy day in Beijing in winter. I closed the blinds, turned on the lamp, and watched the film under the orange light. Say, it bores me, even though it's pretty far from me, both in terms of space and plot.

In fact, a director who made a magic film that became popular all over the country because of steamed buns has previously made several good films. In addition, he also said something good that was quoted by a movie in Hong Kong: When you think you are right The world is already very important, and the world is just about to forgive your naivety. In "Cyrna", this sentence is different but fully embodied - whether it is a veteran CIA agent with more than two decades of experience in the industry; or as an oil broker in the hottest career in the Middle East; or Happy family, young and promising oil economic analyst. When their work began to be related to the huge interest group after their career, their fate and choice gradually changed.

If it is only limited by occupation, the three protagonists are all enviable without exception. The profession of special agent has the excitement and charm inherent to attracting boys, and oil brokers and oil analysts are even more white-collar workers. There are many legends and experiences. But in addition to their careers, the film also explores their personal lives: the agent has a arguably separated family and teenage son; the oil broker has a paranoid father, and the analyst played by Matt Damon has a happy family. In the film, however, there is a change in the loss of a child... The short film has three protagonists and a lot of side characters. In addition, from the protagonist's personal life to the entanglement of various interest groups behind the energy, all aspects must be covered. This is not only a test of the director's The level is also testing the patience of the audience.

Fortunately, when I watch a movie quietly, I am always a patient person, so I saw a bright white screen after the migrant worker drove the suicide speedboat into the oil tanker at the end, which reminded me of another movie I watched not long ago. The film "Heaven Now" (), the same explosion attack, the same screen was bright white, reminded of a dialogue in "Heaven Now" where the heroine asked the hero:

- What type of movies do you like? comedy? sci-fi?

- A boring movie.

-Why?

- Because it is life.

Perhaps the bright white screen at the end of the two films is the color of heaven among suicide martyrs. In an era when oil tycoons and economic oligopolies monopolize the world market, vested interests share the cake, and agents and professional elites are used as cheap tools, we too Had to mutter to himself at the end of the film: Maybe.
