Sorry for using such a hypocritical punch line as the title, but in the face of the current 5.5 points, I feel that perhaps this is the only way to visually break the connection between the two story lines and arouse the sympathy of the beaters.
I don’t know if it was guided by the marketing account wrong, or watching the trailer produced wrong expectations. The bad reviews generally come from wave fans. Indeed, for adrenaline disorders, I am eager to watch a lively and explosive teenager, the film is really not interesting, even dull and unclear. But for a wanderer who is alone in a foreign land, this piece of pertinent depiction of each lonely night can not sleep.
Some people say that this film is very private, and this is extremely frightening. It seems that while empathizing, it is claiming the weaknesses that have been hidden for a long time.
Some people are struggling with the suddenness and unreasonableness of the end times. If you know Ma Zhizhun, you can probably understand that for most people, the definition and margins of the world are not broad. The end times may represent the end of life. As George Clooney said, I also I don’t know, I’m sorry (the world will not work, the body will not be able to hold it, and the destiny will be ruined).
Some people say that the two lines are boring and the story is procrastinated. In fact, they are right, because apart from the narrative, this film didn't even think about telling a beautiful and beautiful story. Under the seemingly sci-fi setting, it is actually a refined and minimalist interpretation. Explain what is a different place, what is loneliness, and what is parting.
Why there is almost no intersection between the two lines? Because of the distance. The most common way for people to open the "remote place" is to live their lives. The children are working hard outside, and the parents are struggling in their hometown. Parents don't know the sinfulness of their children outside, and their children are ignorant of the depression of their hometown and the decline of their parents' world. How many children realized after their father’s recovery from a serious illness, why the mother’s tone on the phone was full of exhaustion in the first few weeks? How many workers were unemployed at home, and they still have to report to their home that they are safe: "I’ve had a good time recently. The leader also values me a lot." Lovers can be cut off because of the indifference in a different place, but relatives can never let go of their concerns. Therefore, people's disappointment at this lack of intersection actually comes from their dissatisfaction with the half-disconnected family relationship. The remote place is bitter enough, and there is no need for a film to uncover the scars.
To be honest, it is ironic to see this innuendo in a Hollywood movie. A country that uses its feet to vote and emphasizes independence and freedom can actually make the pull of birth and separation and the fetters of people so delicate and timeless, so vivid, and not full of dust, bitterness and deep hatred.
Have there been similar attempts before? Have. For example, "Don't Tell Her" based on my hometown, but the focus is entirely on cultural conflicts, and the story is too trivial.
There are also good performances, such as "Outstanding Citizen", but that one is more from a wandering perspective. The hometown setting is not so pure.
Therefore, the uniqueness of this film is to depict the situation of the left-behind elderly. In order to prevent the audience from feeling like being in class or facing begging, the traditional setting of a tough guy with a loli still works very well. It must be said here that I personally like the setting of Little Lolita imagined by George Clooney:
Why doesn't the child speak? Because the radio has never responded.
Why not withdraw with the team and linger? Because of the guilt of escaping from raising, because there is not much time, because I want to do everything possible to keep watch for those who travel: Don't come back, this is no longer home.
It's a pity that just like old people abandoned at home, the 5.5 score now tells the producers that today's society does not buy into this desolation. The reason is also very simple: "It's boring."
Writing these is not to show superiority, as if I am compassionate and compassionate. Perhaps I feel more that I am from the Northeast.
As a native of Northeast China, I occasionally like to advertise my hometown culture as an immigrant culture. Is there a traditional vision of returning to the roots of fallen leaves? Yes, but it doesn't seem to be that strong. Because everyone has been in the past three generations or less, they have all come to the east, and they can go anywhere for a living.
What's more, a more complete social security system, with clan forces that have fallen without being established, has spread all over the Northeast people who have never returned. I just think back to myself when I left home to go to university, and I was determined to return from school and build my hometown, but I didn't think I had been working out for 15 years, and gradually let go of the confusion about what to be home.
Speaking of this, almost everyone is saying that the hometown cannot be returned. What is the distance that can't be reached?
Here the benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. As a pessimist, I personally think that there are hints in the play. One is that the heroine had a nightmare and she was left in the new world, and the other was that the heroine said "it is too quiet here". Although this is all beautified at the end, the sentence in "Evil and West Poison" still lingers: "The end of the mountain is no different from this end."
Looking at the setting period of the film, in fact, we are most likely to be the watchmen on earth and space. Apart from the simple and boring life of our own, we are left with an indifferent 5.5 points.
