Breaking And Entering

Like the hype, I apparently saw the film for Jude Law's re-starring of Anthony Minghella and Juliette Binoche. However, just as the movie did not arouse much repercussions, this work, which tried to cause a series of chain reactions through sudden events, thereby revealing the problems of social survival and feelings, was quite bland in many aspects, and it was difficult to find bright spots.

The biggest joy for me is that the film's background falls in London, King's Cross, which is the terminus of the West Bank main road, it is not only the largest station in London, the sea is populated by immigrants and refugees from all over the world, This area is also an area where criminals and gangs are rampant. Therefore, it is like a melting pot of world cultures. There are architects like Will who have his own dream of transforming the city, as well as Amya, a Serbian refugee who is forced to live in this country, and there are gangsters who do nothing all day, wandering the streets. Prostitutes are just a group of seemingly unrelated people who began to disintegrate and restructure each other's lives because of a burglary.

The theme of life that the film tries to express is too abstract and grand, but it is too pale and lacks drama when it focuses on every detail of the characters to express the spiritual estrangement between people. Crash" or "Babel" - which also radiates into people's lives with accidental events - are as important as shocking reasons. For example, in the expression of the depression and emptiness of Will and Emiya's respective lives, the method is too forbearing and indirect, and most of the time people feel incomprehensible and inexplicable, especially because Will and Emiya have no foreshadowing and move quickly On the relationship, it is very abrupt. Many times I can't find the control over humanity and metaphor in English Patient. From this point on, I feel that Minghella has started to go downhill since "Cold Mountain".

Xiao Qiu's performance is too oppressive, and he also has too little room to play. I really hate that many directors can't make good use of this beautiful face, wasting resources in vain, or is this a punishment for being too beautiful. . . Compared with Juliette Binoche's performance, it is still praiseworthy. Her image of a Muslim refugee almost makes me forget her original appearance as a sensual French woman, but her relationship with Xiaoqiu does not match well, believable. The degree is too low. . .
