The end of a strong narrative?

Some people love to gnaw on the scars in life, but some people will look at goose bumps. "Burning Plains" is a fragmented film with a strong sense of design, which is equivalent to saying that its strengths and weaknesses are basically the same thing. Director and screenwriter Guillermo Arriga set the stage early, waiting for the audience to step on the landmine. This well-known screenwriting technique is multi-line narrative. Under normal circumstances, the outbreak of conflict in the plot will appear in the second half or even the end. Point out the key to the theme, and then end with a warm welcome. The group performances created because of it have become very popular in recent years, and many big-name stars are willing to step in.

After Guillermo Arriga parted ways with Inarritu, he went all out to rely on "Burning Plains" to go his own way, trying to prove that his screenwriter could play a large degree of restraint. The end result is neither good nor bad, the bad thing is that it doesn't give any surprises, the good thing is that the film seems to show the expected level. In the story of the set, some characters who do not know each other appear one after another. There are middle-aged couples and teenage lovers. They are in different environments and face different things, and they seem to be completely incompatible. However, if you are smart enough to look at it for a minute or two, you will know that Alijia must be deceiving, and these people will either be connected because of specific things, or their identities are likely to overlap. Once the key plot is revealed, the whole story is somewhat pale.

In order to express the emotional loneliness and inner pain of the characters, there are often erotic scenes of different scales in the film, and Charlize Theron is even more bold, perhaps this can also be the reason why some people look forward to it. In addition, the girl played by Jennifer Lawrence won the Best New Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival last year. She had a good performance in the climax and was extremely painful in the face of the fire that burned after the explosion, which also revealed the fate of the protagonist. the cause and effect.
