In contrast, the tension between "Sex" and "Moral" of "Wall Night" far exceeds political and historical acumen. From the moment when the bride Huang Caiyi married You Anshun, who was reduced to a political prisoner by participating in a reading club, the hidden corner of the scene was intended to bring out a peeping angle. Hidden in the wall is the Japanese teacher Yumyama Seihiko who led the book club. His revolutionary feelings are not fermented in the movie; on the contrary, the closeness of the newlyweds amplifies his loneliness and needs. Inside and outside the wall, the appearance and the inside of people, "The Wall" does not have the high-level skills of "Tibetan Disturbance" in the Czech movie "Differing Ways", but it reminds me of Wang Xianchi 13 The taboo lust of "Abba's Lover" a year ago.
I was a little surprised that the director Lin Zhiru made the heroine take the initiative to take off her clothes one day on a whim. I didn’t give details about why this woman married a political prisoner. So from this action to the fact that she did not hesitate to give care and even physically comfort the revolutionaries in the wall, I can’t help but wonder: this is a kind of almost naive sympathy. ? Mother-of-the-earth giving? Or is it a release method that is almost isolated from the outside world?
Sexual "pleasure" is also a moral "transcendence." It made the female protagonist who discovered that she was pregnant fell into a state of panic all day long, and also made the revolutionaries who had been hiding for more than eight years unable to bear the torment and leave, and made the actor who had deliberately concealed him finally collapsed. Only then did the film really escape the level of "Nightmare". Although the revolutionaries witnessed the intercourse of husband and wife through the wall before, there were scenes resembling Japanese dancing and horrifying bites, but the film maintained a more realistic tone for most of the time, so although the final part shows the director's bold handwriting that blends reality and fantasy , It also tested the audience's acceptance and understanding of the characters that quickly fell into a state of madness.
If I want to find political power in this film, I am afraid that I will be defeated, because all the slogans and ideals are ultimately lost to the faintness of human nature. Lin Zhiru's experience of the times and the handling of location action scenes are either constrained by technology, funding, or deliberately evaded, rather monotonous. But when returning to a small and closed space, the battle between the lens and the angle of view, or the physical desires and moral scales, is even more impressive. It also made me wonder what taboos and secrets were told in the scenes that he cut off?
