I read "Xiao Wu" that reminds me of Fenyang

I don't know how so many people are labeled as thrillers. This film is not a thriller or suspense at all, but a narrative, with rebellion and family affection, search and chaotic bloody youth.

It's a bit like Xiaowu and Ren Xiaoyao's tune, but the background is not a broken third-tier town in a developing country. The main line is also more progressive than "Xiao Wu": Xiao Wu is a ruined life, the two brothers in this film are still motivated and motivated, and they are just confused in the transition period. ——Record the 69 years of interviews and case-solving experiences of the two brothers. The curiosity in the storyline is not outstanding, and the explanation of the case is not even a sub-line. The screenwriter's energy is mainly in the graphic narrative.

Broken youthful past, withered chicken feathers all over the place. Mixed with violence, sexual disorder, racial discrimination and other side dishes, in the end, the boy's momentary mania killed his famous brother. The two corpses return to the house.

It's not a bad movie, but I definitely don't want to watch it a second time, it's boring and depressing. Only the warmth of the two brothers towards the black nanny is a bright spot.
