"Crazy Stone" fell into the pond, and "Crazy" caused a thousand waves. The film presents another chapter in Chinese cinema from a variety of novel perspectives. Cutting-edge directors, new narration methods, new language colors, and new characteristics of new-generation directors are like a stone thrown into the womb of the city we live in. It is stinky and harder than the stone formed by Sanlu milk powder. labor pains.
I used to madly boycott Hong Kong's fast food movies. The films produced in half a year or a few months always make people feel that they are not exquisite. Later, Hong Kong movies gave birth to a guy named Peng Haoxiang, and then Hong Kong movies can be watched.
I have always liked the so-called sixth-generation directors, the so-called new generation. I have liked them from the very beginning. I think young movies are cute, even if they are naive, they still have souls. However, there is a feeling called stress, and there is a behavior called oppression. Chinese films are under the firm control of fifth-generation directors. The market is monopolized, and business belongs to others. If you want to succeed, you must rely on the film festival. All delusions are nonsense. Now, Ning Hao pops out of the stone. The low-cost production has taken away some of the consumers' money. Finally, the so-called new-generation directors can shout. I don't have to use the money of my parents to support my son. I am relieved. .
Dialect movies, this is not the first creation of Crazy Stone. Starting from Lu Chuan's "Looking for a Gun", this kind of Chinese-style comedy has been favored by directors again and again, such as "Thirteen Paulownia" and "Crazy Stone" later. There is also the recent vulgar and rotten film "Second World", Chinese-style comedy and humor have begun to receive more and more attention, which is a good thing. The use of dialect in "Crazy Stone" instantly shortens the distance between the audience and the screen. A few words of Guo Tao's roar, Huang Bo's classic Qingdao dialect, will make you smile every time you see it, otherwise you will laugh. kind of laugh.
When it comes to "Crazy Stone", I always talk about business, and about Andy Lau, about the support plan, about how to make so much box office with 3 million production in one step, and about the commercial rise of China's new generation of films, of course, this is Must, this is an iconic thing, this is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to "Crazy Stone", and even surpasses his perfect screenwriter who is linked one by one, gradually digging step by step.
The screenwriting skills of "Crazy Stone" do not need to be doubted. One link after link, one thread after another, weaving a net of heaven and earth, and the net has caught people one after another. Almost everyone gave a positive affirmation to the story, and so did I, but in the story, what caught my attention more was the depiction of details. A good movie cannot be separated from the depiction of details, and a small production cannot be separated from the depiction of details. Don't give details. And the details in "Crazy Stone" can be very fine and detailed.
There are a few more impressive details.
Three thieves steal shoes in a hotel, a series of funny lines, even make you forget to consider who the shoes will be, and the doubts about Hong Kong, the motherland, make people laugh at the black skin, and then In Shihong's suspicion, there is such a line "How come the whole yard is our footprints" From here, we feel that the stealing of shoes is so appropriate, and stealing into the needs of the plot.
Furthermore, the gestures of the black skin when buying tickets, we usually say that the three hands are in an OK shape, which is ordinary people's thinking. However, here the director deliberately set the professional gestures of thieves, that is, the thumb, the index finger, and the little finger are upright. rise. Maybe the audience thinks this detail has no meaning, but it fully shows a director's attitude towards the work, and the sixth-generation director's focus on realism. At the same time as commercial success, we must not forget that Ning Hao, he is also An out-and-out sixth-generation director young man with his own indelible principles and preferences.
Ning Hao's storytelling has its own unique characteristics. In the title part, it is the part before the appearance of the five words "crazy stone". The arrangement of more than a dozen shots has almost everything in the distance, the whole, the near and the special, the cable car, the beauty, the mother, the city, Rogues, soda cans, all the elements are hidden in the title, everything is foreshadowed, and then everything is possible after that.
Of course, there are some points that are not handled carefully enough in the film. In the scene of unpacking boxes on the rooftop, there are still those three thieves. Brother Dao has always had a blind dog in his hands, not a guide dog, but a blind dog. At this time, the director The careful setting is worthy of our praise, and the love and kindness of a low-level thief is undoubtedly revealed. However, there was a technical bug in the title of the mirror in this place. The blind dog in Brother Dao's hand disappeared for one scene inexplicably, but in the next scene it appeared in Brother Dao's hand again. Such technical errors cannot exist.
Finally, let's talk about the end of "Crazy Stone". The secretary is dead, the boss is dead, Daoge is dead, and the thief is caught. Four tragic endings. I have no disagreement with the arrest of the thief. It was his arrest that relieved Bao Shihong of the constant pressure, thus regaining the dignity and new life of a man. However, I don't agree with the deaths of the other three people. I think, at this time, Ning Hao has returned, and he has returned to the sixth-generation director's passion for people on the edge of the city. The final death must be a very cruel The ending is the result of the director's repeated deliberation, and is the director's performance in exposing the bottom of society or social phenomena. As we all know, the cynic plot of the sixth-generation directors is strong and strong. As always, revealing has become a sense of mission, a kind of cynic plot that has to be spoken, so, in the end, people died. Three more died.
But does this fit in with the lighthearted and witty tone of the whole film? I understand black humor, I understand the final impact, I understand the theme, and liberate the people at the bottom. But I still don't agree with the final ending. How to solve it, the director can speak for himself.
Finally, I would like to praise the actors. I have seen Guo Tao from the 1999 edition of "Rhino in Love", as well as the wonderful performance of Huang Bo, a fellow from Shandong. It's rewarding, it's awesome, it's funny, it's witty, it's fun. Better not to die.
Stone is still young, five or six years old, and the good times of childhood will not be counted in society.
Soaring in the womb of the city. Very happy.
