When the topic of "Sea King" is in the limelight, I watched a movie called "Fish King" at the Shanghai Film Festival.
Choosing this one is because I was attracted by the introduction. The stories about the influence and redemption of the two male protagonists are generally good. The second reason is that Daguangguang has enough seats and tickets can be purchased.
The movie-watching experience during the epidemic is very special. Strict admission procedures, one-third of the number of people are controlled, and the environment and hardware that are sterilized to almost sterile make the popular art that is usually close to the people seem a bit cold. In Nuo Da's place, everyone sat scattered, and could not guess whether the friend who came with TA was on the left or right, front or back. They were too far apart to whisper each other, and they didn't bother to yell, so everyone was quiet and focused on the screen.
At the beginning of the story, the male protagonist A Jack is opening Mai BB. As the anchor of a well-known interactive program radio station, he points to the audience's life trajectory in a high-profile manner, condescending and confident. The whole scene ends with a close-up of the silhouette of his mouth in the BB, which is simply and neat, and the character's character is stood up within 1 minute, which is wonderful.
Jack, who was spinning and jumping in his career, answered the phone, his smile frozen, and his life had a turning point. Because of his comment on the program, a serious shooting was triggered, resulting in many deaths. The conscience is very painful, Jack resigns and sinks, no longer combing his ponytail. But his conscience was still very painful, so after a day of drinking, he planned to sink into the bottom of the river to redeem his sins. He never thought that he was pulled back from the embankment and was doused with gasoline again. Although the different routes were the same, the process was very difficult. It's important, so Jack yelled and was rescued by male protagonist B Parry before he was set on fire. In another two short minutes, the director let Jack understand how much he loves life and he needs to find other ways to redeem himself. The character's follow-up motivation is established, which is both horse-grabbing and solid.
The whimsical world of male protagonist B Parry is the absolute highlight of the film. Before he contracted PTSD, he was a professor who learned the rich and five cars. Because he witnessed the tragic suffering of his lover in the shooting, he had a stressful fantasy. He would not only see the phantom of the red knight, and then violently walked into the streets in panic, and lived as a homeless man. Life. But the professor is always a professor, and he retains the romantic imagination and the bright philosophies in his mind. A group portrait waltz at Central Station and a naked chat on the lawn of Central Park showed his wonderful character.
The two female characters in the film are quite interesting, but they can't stand scrutiny. The sense of the times and the label are a bit heavy, and the performance is too exaggerated. Maybe in that era, such a female image was real and pleasing, right? But in the narrative of the film, they are completely instrumental people, mainly responsible for connecting the main story between the two male protagonists, and also taking on the role of laughter. They have personality and attitude, but they have no effect on the unfolding of the story.
