On the other hand, it is the overall quality of the film that will make the Chinese commercial film, which is now "prosperous" with continuous investment and promotion, reveal the most embarrassing aspect of the flower group: powerlessness. Yes, there are often movies that fill such roles. If it is a "blockbuster" such as "Avatar" and "Inception" that attracts attention with mature industrial wonders under the Hollywood system, you can also complain that they are not comparable in scale. However, other works such as "Elite Army" with small and medium investment scale, solid script, excellent performance, and clean video and audio can truly shake the soul. In fact, in all aspects, the hardware has no special advantages compared with current Chinese movies. . Of course, we can complain that the approval and non-grading system hinders the development of many themes, but perhaps in the final analysis, we have lost the mentality of doing a good job in every detail.
The photography of "Elite Force" is mostly hand-cranked, highlighting a certain sense of presence and instant style. In many scenes, one shot is arranged and dispatched to the end, which is completely different from the format of "medium shots cut to close shots, panoramic shots cut to front and back" in "TV Drama Vision". Since the characters are often in a state of agitation, camera shake reinforces that restlessness, but doesn't mean the camera shakes. After the Lacio prison riot, human rights defender Fraga snarls at the government for the camera, which quietly pans the focus from his face to the satellite launch pad of the OB van behind, and then slowly back down. The subtext in the picture is self-evident. At least that's the tone of the movie.
If you haven't seen the previous work, you won't have too many plot obstacles to watch this "Elite Force 2", and you don't need to make up for it. The first is purely about assembling and training troops to fight drug dealers in the slums, while the second takes aim directly at the invisible but ubiquitous "system". The main line of the whole story is almost the best footnote in Wu Si's "The Law of Blood Reward", which states that "in order to pursue the long-term maximization of blood remuneration, bandits are willing to establish an order to protect the looted objects. In order to pursue short-term blood remuneration income maximization, legitimate violent groups can also degenerate into bandits.” The law is presented in detail.
Although everyone played very eye-catching, but the hero Wagner Mara still firmly locked the film's aura around himself. Nacimento, who took off his military uniform and put on a suit, had his back getting more and more hunched, and his eyes became darker and darker. He always tilted his head a little to watch those politicians' performances, but he could only lower his eyelids when facing his lover and friends. Going back and forth in the political game, Nacimento's back looked very lonely when the soldier of the year found himself always a pawn. But when his bottom line was crushed, the fire that erupted from his heart was still amazing. This kind of flame has never been extinguished. It always burns the audience's emotions and makes us worry about every crime in a country that we have basically never touched.
If there is any movie worth going to the cinema in November, it can only be this "Elite Force" that is not released at the same time.
