"July 22" Pain is perhaps the best catalyst for growth. Uter Island massacre, July 22, 2011, a terrorist attack in Oslo, Norway took a full 77 lives, the worst violent attack in Norway since the end of World War II. The whole film is concise, neat, calm, restrained, without too much elaboration. It only takes 30 minutes to present the entire attack process to the audience head-on. In the second half, it mainly expresses the physical and mental healing process of the victims and their families. It seems unusually objective, without deliberate sensationalism, and even some details are as cold as the temperature in Norway all the year round. But you can see the extraordinary perseverance behind this coldness, the strength of the victims, the support of the parents, the professionalism of the lawyers, and even the perpetrator who would rather increase the sentence to speak in court, which is very shocking. Director Paul Greengrass used his skillful control of the rhythm to clearly present several narrative lines to the audience, allowing the public to comment. 7 points. ps: It turns out that the director has worked as a reporter before, no wonder he prefers the realistic style so much!
