The Return of Yan Ru and Fruitville Station

That day, I watched the movie "Return" for the first time, but I was in a mixed mood. I tried to give positive reviews from all angles, but it seemed so pale. give up. I happened to see Fruitville Station, which was released in 2013, and I was inspired to talk about "The Return" again. The respective directors of the two films, Zhang Yimou and Ryan, put together, the former must be brilliant, and people don't even know why Ryan is Fang Shengxian. This is indeed the case, after all, one has numerous awards, and the other is a fledgling. But when the film works are compared together, the highs and lows are immediately apparent. It's hard to imagine that "Fu" comes from a little-known guy in his twenties who just graduated from film school. The structure design is so natural, and all the characters are so plump no matter how much or little they have, just like what happened around you. The story is eloquent, you will be ups and downs with the protagonist's joy and anger, and the protagonist's fate with the ups and downs, although all this is just a collision that occurs in 24 hours. When Oscar was shot three times in a row, he murmured with tears in his eyes: He shot me! ! ! I also have a daughter! In an instant, your heart is also broken. Actor Michael B. Jordan, who played it so vividly, with a mix of grit and tenderness, once made me think he was Denzel Washington. Chen Daoming is often referred to as an old drama bone, but the hoarse voice under the overpass in the play, the indifference after confessing to his daughter "I reported it", and the sentence "I am Yan Ru, I am back" in the face of Gong Li, are all With a strong sense of drama. At the beginning of the "Return" drama, I said to Zhang Yimou in my heart: Don't make it into "The Hachiko of the Loyal Dog". Yimou is old, no longer seeking art! A "Lu Cun Yanru" was ruined by Laomouzi, just like "Alive" was ruined at the beginning; a real event made Ryan sublime!

    12 Years to Fruitvale, freedom never came after all. It's like Hoover, MLK & South Central washing all over me again, and it ain't even the whole picture of the life of minorities in America. How I wish I was never there, but I was, seein'&feelin' cleanly as it can be seen or felt

    The issue of race is a social phenomenon that exists in every country, and no one can completely isolate or prevent such a small probability event from happening, but its occurrence has alerted some people! ! ! A loss, a gain.
