——A brief analysis of the theme of "Kekexili" means Hoh Xil with widespread glaciers and quicksand erosion, glacial plateaus and small Tibetan-style towns that can be seen everywhere, character modeling full of Tibetan characteristics and textures, and simple and delicate picture style, revealing most of the The living space of the bottom people in western China, these real and credible spaces increase the strength of his films, and also illustrate Lu Chuan's creative attitude to face objective reality. The focus of the film, the use of natural light and sound sources, and the shooting of the real scene in Hoh Xil reveal a strong real texture. With a simple but precise form and rhythm, Lu Chuan leads the audience into the world of mountain patrols in western China, conveying the discussion between man and nature, the confusion between numbness and kindness, and the contradiction between justice and crime. Man and Nature: Exploring the Ecological Crisis and the Prospects of Human Survival The film "Kekexili" takes the mountain patrol chasing poachers as the basic clue of the story, and unfolds the narrative from the perspective of a reporter. The story unfolds in a simple, straightforward way. The film shows the beautiful and cruel landscape of Hoh Xil. In the process of patrolling the mountains day after day, I saw that the members of the mountain patrol team had been standing alone at the desolate post for three years; I saw the slaughtered Tibetan antelope, one by one. leather with bullet holes, The piles of unburied corpses lit up the sky, and this is a red warning sign issued by nature to human beings. I saw Liu Dong being swallowed by quicksand, and I saw other team members waiting for rescue in the blizzard. The possibility of freezing to death reflects the harsh natural environment of Hoh Xil; the scene of poachers slaughtering Tibetan antelopes was recorded as real and unadorned as a documentary, showing the ecological crisis facing Hoh Xil. Lu Chuan prefers the method of documentary in the shooting method, and pursues the authenticity of details and the simple and simple image style, which makes the film authentic and credible. Justice and Crime: Reflecting on the Legal Dilemma of the Western Nature Conservation As a volunteer mountain patrol team led by the county government, the team members have devoted their entire lives to the protection of Tibetan antelopes in Hoh Xil, but the government cannot provide sufficient law enforcement for the mountain patrol team equipment and necessary food and clothing. In the case of poor funds, the team members obtained funds through crime - "buying skins". How ironic this is: Tibetan antelope protectors obtain funds by selling Tibetan antelope skins to maintain the cause of Tibetan antelope protection, which also deeply condemns the government's neglect of the nature protection cause and ecological crisis in the west at that time. Japan and Thailand's life was easily taken away by poachers, and even if Japan and Thailand caught the poacher, they had no right to decide the life and death of the poacher. This is the difference between a country under the rule of law and a criminal group: both can take away the lives of others, but The former is subject to due process. The director leads people to reflect on the legal dilemma of nature conservation in western China through absurd storylines and documentary language. Numbness and kindness: Torture the chaos of human nature at the bottom edge of society Ma Zhanlin used to herd and herd sheep, but then the grass disappeared, the cattle and sheep died, and no one could survive. In order to survive, he took his two sons to hunt for poachers The accomplices are the accomplices - skinning the sheep. Of course, he was caught many times by the mountain patrol team, and even Ritai was familiar with their names, but after paying the fine, they continued to skin the poachers. Because they want to survive in Hoh Xil, or they can't give up their life and death for the country to cherish animals. Ma Zhanlin fled with his son, and the patrolmen chased after him panting. A team member fell to the ground due to pulmonary edema. When life and death were at stake, Ma Zhanlin asked his son who had studied medicine to treat him. This highlights Ma Zhanlin's kindness. But later, he brought poachers to kill Ritai, and later told reporters that they could walk to the road as long as they followed their footprints. This is because only poachers can sustain him, while Ritai only hinders his skinning. In the face of an existential crisis, do people choose to die kindly or to live in numbness? Furthermore, if Ma Zhanlin doesn't peel, what is he doing now? Are you still sitting? The director interrogates people's reflections on the human nature of everyone at the bottom of society through the highly humanized round characters and socially representative characters. The film "Kekexili" has a pessimistic attitude towards the lives of marginalized groups in marginal areas. This pessimism is not based on deliberately provocative camera language, nor is it an indifferent attitude, nor is it a compassionate attitude to observe, but to observe with a sympathetic attitude. An objective and documentary perspective reflects the true state of the Hoh Xil Mountain Patrol and the marginalized groups at the bottom of the society. He did not deliberately create a tragedy. His success lies in excavating and displaying a representative character's experience and heart, and also completing the ecological analysis. The crisis and the prospect of human survival, the legal predicament of the western nature protection cause and the exploration of the human nature of the marginalized people at the bottom of the society.
