Is everyone paying attention to the Sundance International Film Festival? This is an independent film festival designed for independent filmmakers. It is the world's leading independent film festival. "Independence" is obviously the most important feature of this film festival. The film festival was founded by Robert Redford in 1984 and organized by the Sundance Institute, which consists of 25 members.
The Sundance Film Festival is held every year from January 18th to 28th in Park City, Utah, USA for 11 days. That's right, this year's Sundance Film Festival has just been held, and today I want to recommend to you "Nowhere for Home" , which won the Sundance American Feature Film Jury Award this year .
The film does not have a famous director (Macken Blair's directorial debut), nor a star (starring by actors Melanie Linsky, Ilya Wood, etc.), but the film relies on its strong plot rhythm control, and it is in the film festival. Received numerous praises on the Internet.
The protagonist of the film is a depressed nursing nurse Ruth . Through the first part of the first act, the film uses several life passages to shape the character of the protagonist to the audience——
1. When passing the parking lot, let the car pass first;
2. When you see someone remove the product from the shelf in the supermarket, walk over and pick it up;
3. When reading a novel in a bar, after being spoiled by others, they still chatted with others;
4. When telling a bedtime story to a friend or child, I cried because I remembered the death of a patient in the morning...
Through the above plot to enrich the image of the protagonist, what we see is an ordinary character, which is the habit of excellent movies, using the plot of life to express the character, and then use the character to highlight the plot.
The first act of the film progressed very quickly. After returning home from get off work, the exhausted Ruth discovered that his home had been stolen, lost his laptop, mother's silverware and anti-depressants.
Ruth called the police. The police asked a few questions on a routine basis, and then the police asked her if the door was unlocked.
Ruth said that she usually doesn't lock the door, so the police have the tone and attitude of someone who is stolen if you don't lock the door .
Then the police said that there was news and immediately notified the heroine, and then left.
Ruth disagrees with the police's handling of the case.
She found the footprints of the suspected thief in her yard, and the next day her stolen computer was turned on, and the phone was located on the computer.
Ruth immediately called the police, but the police said that they would add the location to the case data and said that no police would be dispatched without a search warrant.
Ruth was really upset when he heard that he even had the location. The police didn't even help. He said that he felt angry when he saw this place.
So Ruth came to the location on the phone alone, but she was naturally persuaded when she saw a group of young gangsters.
Ruth had to go home and seek help from friends. Then, who didn't have many friends, she finally had to bite the bullet and seek out the weird neighbor Tony who also didn't have many friends .
Why is this neighbor weird?
That's because Tony usually plays with nunchakus and throws darts. He also hangs Chinese charms and speaks a few Chinese words outside his house.
With the help of Tony's use of nunchakus, darts, and firecrackers, Ruth retrieved his computer.
However, after some conversation, I learned that the computer was not stolen by the other party, but bought at a consignment shop called "killer sills".
Ruth took the name of the consignment shop written by the other party and left happily with Tony.
And went home to celebrate.
And just as they celebrated, the camera turned to Christian the thief cleverly.
It turned out that Christian was squatting on the toilet of someone else's house to defecate, and he was robbed again. He was found by the owner, wounded and ran away, and returned to the criminal organization of the three of them.
The film started with two lines at the same time.
Ruth and Tony started investigating and went to the consignment shop to retrieve Ruth’s mother’s silverware;
The thief came to the consignment shop again to get rid of the stolen goods.
Coincidentally, Ruth recognized him through Christian's strange shoe print, and Tony remembered the license plate number of the thief organization.
And Christian also got rid of the stolen goods and obtained funds.
Tony investigated the license plate number of the thieves' organization through the Internet and locked the person.
The thieves organization also used the funds obtained to purchase gunfire and prepare for the next action.
After Ruth got the address of the license plate number owner, he no longer just made a phone call, but went to the police station in person.
However, the police in charge still maintained a lukewarm attitude towards her.
Ruth also kept sensible inquiries--
"Why don't you want to help me?"
"Isn't that your job?"
Seeing this, the little bit of heart is broken, Ruth even helps you find clues and find evidence. (Of course, I understand that this may be a plot requirement.)
Facing Ruth’s questioning, the police responded loudly and said: “Yes, it’s his job, but he has more important things to deal with, such as someone being injured (in fact, he was injured by Christian). I don't have the mind to deal with things stolen because I didn't lock the door.
After listening, Ruth left angrily and decided to solve the matter by himself.
So they came to the license plate owner's house and pretended to be a policeman to search the house.
The hostess of the house gave a warm welcome and then sat down to chat together.
Through chatting, I learned that the owner of the car was used by his stepson Christian, and had nothing to do with his lawyer husband, and the stepson had left the house a long time ago.
Then the male host returned home. The male host questioned his wife's IQ, how could he not realize that the two of them were fake police officers.
The hostess said that she knew they were fake police officers, just because she was too boring to be alone in the huge house, and wanted someone to chat with her.
Ruth explained to the hostess why they came, and the host asked how much the silverware cost?
Ruth said they didn't come here for money.
The host expressed confusion.
Ruth said: "I want people to stop being bastards." Because she doesn't like others walking into her house without authorization, and she doesn't like others peeping into her privacy. Although she has always had no desires, but she has her own principles.
Then Ruth and Tony drove away. As they left, the gang of thieves was also parked in front of the house, peeping at everything. Their purpose is to rob Christian's father.
But the gang of thieves didn't know the purpose of Ruth and Tony, so they planned to get rid of Ruth and Tony first, and followed them.
As a result, when Christian approached Ruth, Ruth accidentally injured Christian and was hit by a bus.
Just when Ruth was panicking, other gangs of thieves kidnapped her and asked her to accompany them in the crime because they didn't have enough manpower.
So Ruth and the thief organization returned to Christian's father's house.
Then a gun battle broke out that made people laugh.
Tony also came afterwards and was injured.
Ruth and Tony took the opportunity to escape, and the thief boss chased them.
Then came another nervous escape and chase scene.
A movie with a very compact plot, and there are many interesting jokes in it. I believe that Sundance's award-winning works will not disappoint everyone, so hurry up and find them.
