The red dust is noisy, the grievances are difficult to understand, why not tear it up

The blockbuster independent film "Orange" at the Sundance Film Festival earned a lot of attention last year. Although it is not in the eyes of mainstream awards, this film has still become one of the outstanding independent masterpieces in the minds of many fans with its good quality. After watching this film, I think authenticity, simplicity, and rudeness are its biggest features.

The plot of the movie is very simple, focusing on a few main characters to develop, roughly divided into two lines to advance. Transgender Cindy just got out of prison. She learned from her friend Alexandra that her "boyfriend" was stealing while she was away. Cindy, who was furious, ran around in the streets and alleys, vowing to drag the scumbag out. "Little Three". The film, on the other hand, hands over the camera to Razmik, a taxi driver who immigrated to the United States from Armenia. While doing business on the street, Razmik is looking for his "prey" to meet his unique biological needs.

The film runs in two parallel lines, and the constantly interspersed camera cuts show the day of the two main characters. The savage and angry Cindy acted resolutely and learned from others where "Little San" was. He directly kicked the door and rushed in to pull her out, pulling her hair and dragging her all over the street. Razmick was unhappy when he met the "prey standing on the wrong street", and happened to meet a caring "old customer" - Alexandra, so he paid for a good vent and had a happy early Christmas.

Finally, all the characters ushered in a big explosion in this extremely real and eye-popping daily detail.

Cindy can't bear to be betrayed in love, and Alexandra can't bear to tell the truth to her friends. On the other hand, Razmick's mother-in-law has been staring at him for a long time, and it only takes a moment to shake everything out. . So, in the doughnut dessert shop, these people all got together by coincidence, and a multi-line outbreak of ripping drama was staged. In fact, it is not surprising that everyone has been suffocating for a long time, whether it is hidden in their hearts and not spoken, or a thorough confrontation is required.

In this torn outbreak, everyone's emotions have been fatally tested. Betrayal, suspicion, helplessness, forbearance... Love has been terminated, family love has been destroyed, and even friendship has been greatly impacted.

After tearing, you will see that one by one gradually came out from the war just now. The "winners" did not enjoy the fruits of victory, but in exchange for loneliness and insight, while the "losers" who couldn't raise their heads could only face the reality and think for themselves.

The calm after a storm, each has to start living, and the past is gone.

An iPhone 5S and a shooting filter on the AppStore have created such a real life film. You might criticize it for its messy plot and lack of rhythm control, but the movie attracts you with a shocking and eye-catching charm. Like a documentary, under the dim picture, a group of "women" who are struggling to make a living on the bustling streets, dressed in fancy clothes, want to get into the car of the guests immediately, show off a little bit of beauty, make a little money, and live a life. . And the sadness and silence in it were all mercilessly submerged in those "bang bang bang dangdang" - the sound of high heels hitting the ground.

Life is not easy, and it is even more difficult for special groups. The lens of the film penetrates into the lives of these transgenders, prostitutes, gays, and immigrants in a realistic style, and constantly exposes these seemingly ordinary but little-known details to the audience. They change from men to women, and women fight for men; they cry, they laugh; they defend their right to love and pursue their truest selves... The world is noisy and grudges are difficult to understand. Since it is so tired, why not just tear it apart What about back? After the tearing, you are still you, and I am still me, but we all let these wounds go. Love, family, friendship, if you can't understand the dog days, don't worry too much, the days will go on, and the pace will still be forward!
