"Kekexili" is a heroic dirge composed by Lu Chuan with the camera, and this dirge still haunts everyone's hearts long after the film is over; It hurts, and we were already outraged when the scenes of blood-red skeletons, sheepskins everywhere, and numb herders peeling sheepskins for 5 yuan appeared. However, it is only anger, and reality does not change because of the anger of a bystander. Director Lu Chuan used his simple camera language and quiet and smooth narrative techniques to reproduce such a cruel and tragic story of light and darkness, ideal and reality, life and death intertwined. We have lived for too long in a smoky and materialistic world. The dust has already blinded the hearts of too many people. Too many people have been numb to the point of expressionless and unconsciousness. They have become accomplices, spectators, and walking dead. ; The director tried to make a conscience call and spiritual baptism to the numb people through such a story, and she did it in "Kekexili". Hoh Xil means beautiful girl in Mongolian, which is probably another name given by a connoisseur, which is also an unknown name. Beautiful girls are sad. They have been occupied by wealth and power since ancient times and turned into playthings or vases, and there are too many sins behind wealth and power, so beautiful girls have coexisted with sins since ancient times. ;When morality and law lose their binding force, beautiful girls will be humiliated by ordinary men like you and me, killed and drowned by the jealous eyes of old women and ugly women. This kind of story is in "Dog Town" by Lars . Von Trier showed it nakedly with a magnifying glass; even the beautiful young woman in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was equally unlucky. In short, the fate of beautiful girls is often miserable, which also confirms the old saying that "beauty has a bad life since ancient times". Therefore, when a place is named after a "beautiful girl", it must be dangerous, a place destined to be shrouded in desire, sin, and death. For Hoh Xil, I would rather translate it as "beautiful Tibetan antelope", because it has been a paradise for Tibetan antelopes for tens of thousands of years; and now the homeland of this beautiful Tibetan antelope has been trampled on by humans, and they are also brutally ravaged by humans. It can be said that humans are gang-raping Tibetan antelopes. So why do humans gang-rape Tibetan antelopes? Because some women want to dress up with wool to be more beautiful, some people hunt Tibetan antelopes to satisfy their desire for money, and some people just to survive! These beautiful women, crazy poachers, and numb people are the perpetrators of crazy **** against Tibetan antelopes, and of course our inaction government. Through the film, we see a group of tragic heroes and their absurd living conditions; we see the weakness and sadness of a group of idealists, and we want to cry without tears! A group of heroes who can't even earn a few hundred yuan are working hard to protect the Tibetan antelope, but they themselves have not received the protection and support they deserve from the government; they starved to death, were killed by poachers, or were killed by Submerged in quicksand, they are not as easy as a Tibetan antelope, but they carry lofty ideals and heavy responsibilities and live a difficult life. Later, 8 of them who survived were prosecuted and sentenced by the government, on the grounds that they sold the Tibetan antelope skins seized from poachers without permission. This is really sad and super ironic. My heart is shattered by the absurdity of this reality again! The helpless reality is helpless after all. The language of the documentary film is more concise and powerful than imagined. The scene of a Tibetan antelope and a mountain ranger being brutally killed is the prelude of the film, and the subsequent narratives are all shot in a simple sequence , there are no more dramatic conflicts, no jumping editing, but it can firmly grasp the hearts of the audience. The audience is silently infected by the cruel living conditions in the film, and they can't help but feel their emotions and the lives of the protagonists in the film. The film is very similar to the Berlin Film Festival award-winning film "The Blind Well" in its opening technique, narrative technique and image style, and the director's handling at the end is calmer than that of "The Blind Well", without any hint, "Bang" "Bang" a few shots, the captain Ritai and the Tibetan antelope twitched and died a few times. The audience was shocked by such an abrupt ending and wanted to cry. The film is not pretentious or pretentious. It is so simple and simple that it penetrates deep into the hearts of the audience and grabs the hearts of the audience. "Kekexili" is very different from Lu Chuan's first work "Looking for a Gun" in terms of video style and shooting techniques. If Lu Chuan was still a fluffy guy who likes juggling and showing off his skills when filming "Looking for a Gun", then "Looking for a Gun" In Hoh Xil, it can be clearly seen that he has grown into a pragmatic mature man with a calm appearance and a fiery heart through this calm and heart-wrenching ending! Lu Chuan wrote and directed himself, and was able to jump out of the narrative of the film to shoot such a heavy-hearted work calmly and objectively, which highlights his genius film talent; and his humanistic care and compassion can also be seen from the perspective of his choice. Feelings; when too many of our directors have long been reduced to wagging dogs of money and fame, only speculating on franchises and moaning, we are only disappointed or disappointed. Now we see another Lu Chuan through "Kekexili", and we see Chinese movies. Hope, so Lu Chuan is worthy of our expectation. He has become another Chinese director who I admire after Jia Zhangke. The only dissatisfied part of appreciating "Kekexili" is that there are two women who should not appear in such a male film that narrates light and darkness, ideals and reality. The first is Ritai's daughter, who appeared. The number of times is too frequent, the time is too long, the eyes of the actors are too ambiguous when performing; the image of the second woman is sad, and the scene of making love in the car can be completely ignored. If you follow Jia Zhangke's way of handling: give the woman a back view or a continuous subtle movement It can be expressed more appropriately and profoundly! Hoh Xil was originally the last natural place in my country that retains its original state, the largest no-man's land, and a paradise for wild animals, but now it has been invaded by the most dangerous human beings. The poachers' gunshots and the sound of the wheels broke the tranquility, and the wild animals have no peace since then, and even protectors like the mountain patrol team will also have a destructive effect on the land; the scene at Zhuonai Lake in the film You can see two abandoned oil drums standing beside the pristine plateau lake. I believe this was deliberately arranged by the director. In the later plot development, the mountain patrol team used gasoline to ignite sheep bones, abandoned cars, and even abandoned them. A complete car, and these are serious pollutants. If it goes on for such a long time, even if it is protected, the beauty of Hoh Xil will be slowly destroyed by human beings! If the establishment of a nature reserve can protect the Tibetan antelope in Hoh Xil, if the pollution of the vast land by gasoline and waste cars is still very small; then the Qinghai-Tibet Railway runs through the entire Hoh Xil and cuts off the breeding and migration areas of the Tibetan antelope. , this is the most terrifying, and it is the most deadly damage and blow to Hoh Xil and the Tibetan antelope; however, this is a government act and has been demonstrated and passed by many experts. Whoops, no matter how hard the staff of the small nature reserve is, they can't stand the damage of a train flute on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. For the sake of development, the country needs to build railways and destroy the natural environment. On the other hand, it pretends to protect it; what is the use of such protection? In the face of interests, the country has no conscience like poachers! When humans discover great benefits for a species, that species is not far from extinction. Even if they are protected, it is only for humans to occupy them for a longer time, and even if they are left behind, they are only hybrids born after being violently raped by humans, losing their original nature and being reduced to protected areas or zoos. 's exhibit! In fact, all things in the world have their own rules of survival. What should be extinct will naturally become extinct. What is the use of protection? When mankind destroys all beautiful things, it is also doomed to self-destruction! But then again, each of us is no safer and happier than the Tibetan antelope, and will also become a victim of interests at any time. This is the cruel law of nature!
