The film was released with the aura of the director. Canadian director Dennis Villeneuve's trilogy, if you use color to describe it-Prisoners is repressive blue, Enemy is confused yellow, and Sicario is desperate gray. The greatest feature of Dennis's film is the atmosphere. The director and photography partner Roger Deakins used unusual shots and presentations to make the audience feel the urgency of not daring to breathe or closing their eyes. Aside from Prisoner's overpreparation and Enemy's emphasis on atmosphere rendering, Sicario inherited the strengths of the two, allowing the development of the story and the atmosphere to complement each other and integrate into one, without detecting deliberate side policies, everything will come naturally. Deakins presents the lurking crisis in the wilderness from the perspective of looking down on Mexico from top to bottom. The 15-minute journey in and out of Mexico explains from the front that the Mexican drug lord is no longer a secret cruelty. In such a land, no rules and authority are required. Follow again, the wolves are fighting, and only life and death are winning or losing.
The reason I like director Dennis is his trust in the audience. If the film is a medium that over-understands many things, it will lose the ability of the audience to imagine independently. The film Sicario gave the audience a big background, the Mexican drug trafficking dispute, an access point, the role of EB, the role of FBI regional criminal police, a kind of emotion, and the anxiety of being unable to trust anything in it, everything after this is just The audience's own thinking is like the EB character involved in a confused area, the audience can only rely on their own eyes to find the theme and reason.
The deputy line of the Mexican police cleverly sublimated the theme at the end of the film. The EB character’s obsession with the truth and the use of justice to try the so-called “bad guys” for evil acts are typical of justice in American real society, and there is no ash between black and white. However, when the fog spreads, I really want to be so embarrassed that I can’t wait for my father to return to play football in Mexico. The child who is terrified by the gunshots is just a victim of this wilderness dispute, the United States. The intervention, the grand-sounding rescue plan makes the protagonist’s initial determination to eradicate the poison even more pathetic. It’s not so much anti-American, but it’s truthful-American, The truth? America is not as glamorous and righteous as we want to believe. In
terms of actors, Emily Blunt is as good as ever, although she has the most tender eyes. But there was a hard breath all over the body. What really surprised me was the performance of Benecio Del Toro. The role of Benecio in the film is not much but the most attractive. The mystery of the role itself and the final reveal give Benecio a lot of room for development. Such a comparison with EB's role is too monotonous, and the acting skills are impeccable but few. A breakthrough interpretation of some roles.
After watching this film, I think of "True Detective" again. The perfection and atmosphere of the first season of True Detective are very similar to this film. In my heart, I have silently brought me the unpleasant and unpleasant plot of the second season of "True Detective". All the memories are erased, yes, this film is the true follow-up of Zhentan.
