The shooting of this "Kekexili" is indeed very ordinary - the scene is very real, the morality is very funny, the plot and characters are very fake. Director Lu Chuan really wasted such a good subject. Lu Chuan said the film wanted to show "humanity and survival" and "abandon moral criticism." Did you really give up? absolutely not. It's just that Lu Chuan felt that he had given up! This is most evident in the film's role as a reporter, who speaks to the team with a moral standard higher than that of the mountain ranger (belonging to the city). "However, selling skins is illegal!" (referring to the fact that the patrolmen were forced to sell Tibetan antelope skins when they had no money) "How do you think I should write this report?" (in accusing) "I always thought I was a A good reporter..." (I'm speechless too) I've been very depressed about our films, why do we always have to add this kind of image of "party secretary among ordinary villagers". For a subject like Hoh Xil, isn't it already full marks for the plain shooting of primitive ecology? Why add this extra reporter? When it comes to plot loopholes, most of them are related to the reporter. For example, during the final duel against the poacher Boss, one of the two accompanying vehicles stopped running. Only half of the remaining seven people could move on, but there was that reporter among them. Please, this is the last and most dangerous part of the road. Any captain with a normal IQ should bring a team member who can hold a gun. Does a reporter want to use flashlights to intimidate the poachers? Moreover, that reporter usually chirps crookedly, but he is still quite cold-blooded. The casualties of his own team members did not see him have any adverse reactions. When the team members wanted to question the poachers, they had to stop them alive and dead. If it were the real captain of Japan and Thailand, he might be kicked and I don't know where he went. But the Japanese and Thai captain in "Ke", when pressed by reporters, was like a child who acquiesced in his own wrongdoing, except for a very weak rebuttal. Is this the captain who has been fighting poachers for years? Inexplicable, simply inexplicable! ! ! Except for the reporter who is so stupid that I can't forget, after watching this film, the only thing I have a little impression on is of course Captain Ritai, and no one else at all. Moreover, the portrayal of the so-called Japanese and Thai captains is not outstanding, but there are more shots than ordinary players. As a result, the film is a group image that sees only the forest but not the tree. This thing is not bad, it directly reflects the average level of the director. There are still some Wumao film critics who call it "a success in portraying a group image" , I really want to add praise, and there is nothing to worry about. Apart from the plot and characters, let's talk about the deeper meaning of the movie. In fact, any film about Hoh Xil poaching that only focuses on the conflict between mountain rangers and poachers without reflecting the reasons behind the poaching phenomenon is just a general environmental film. The film was just borrowed from Ma Zhanlin's mouth, and it was over after a few words, so the film ended up being an ordinary environmental film, and there was no such thing as a "movie about the living conditions of human beings". But having said that, if it is really reflected, it is estimated that it will be banned, and what kind of Golden Horse Award will you get? This is also where Lu Chuan played tricks-he did touch this subject, but only "touched" it. I admire those mountain rangers, and I admire all the filmmakers who are willing to make this kind of subject matter. The difficulty of this is unimaginable, but it does not mean that all our criticisms have to give way. Lu Chuan once said in an interview: "It's not easy to make a good director in China, don't destroy him; it's not easy to make a good movie in China, don't destroy it!". I want to say to Lu Chuan, I'm sorry, you are not the good director you said; "Kekexili", unfortunately, is really not the good movie you said. Besides, if you think that criticism can ruin anything, it can only be said that you have a low tolerance, and a director with a low tolerance is really not suitable for touching the subject of Hoh Xil. PS: In fact, if "Kekexili" is an entertainment film, I don't mind giving it two or three stars, but for such a waste of serious subject matter, I can only hit one star to vent my anger. That's all.
