Some people say that "The Sound of the Wind" lacks a kind of purity. Those who want to watch spy wars will feel that there is too much torture, and those who have been tricked into because of the blood will feel that they are too high in the end, and they will watch 'revolutionary films in the new era'. Cinema, and may feel 'this is the curve revolution'.
And I think, apart from the plots that really don’t stand up to scrutiny [if there are loopholes, there are also novels, but the author says that it is a real adaptation - in fact, perhaps many times our imagination really can’t play life, but And often always underestimate life], the suspense in "The Wind", the bloody fear and the final uplift, none of them can be missed.
As a film under the banner of 'spy war', suspense is inevitable. At the beginning of the film, when the group is sent to Qiuzhuang for confinement, the atmosphere of natural reasoning is created - the confinement space, the assigned house, the people who are destined to die one by one, looking for the old ghost The lines of "Among You" are familiar to viewers who have seen many detective works. The low music, the dark background, the inexplicable small chorus singing German and Japanese Fascist songs [guess] in the corner of the hall, even the few out-of-tune tones that touched the keys when the piano was moved on the first night, were fully rendered. At this time, whether the plot is tight or not is not so important for an audience who likes to 'follow the plot'. For example, a lazy person like me is watching "The Orient Express" and "No Survival" I never wanted to guess the murderer. And when the plot is not rigorous, I think it is a plus to be able to use these techniques to fill in such deficiencies.
The other is the 'Bloody Torture' that may have attracted a considerable number of people into the theater to watch - in fact, including myself, was pulled into the theater by my friends because of this.
The original novel does not have much description of torture, or in other words, in the original novel, the villain is more willing to play a game of cat and mouse, using psychological warfare to force the 'old ghost' he thinks. In fact, this is better presented in novels, or in words, but not necessarily well presented in films - films rely on sight and hearing to make it easier for the audience to feel as if they were there.
I remember that in junior high school, an old revolutionary who was arrested in the revolutionary era and survived gave a report to us. He said that the revolutionaries who were tortured by the enemy to extract confessions were not as portrayed in the movies in the past. They glared at the enemy, gritted their teeth, did not cry, did not cry, or even shouted revolutionary slogans. On the contrary, they would scream, scream, and even beg for mercy, but the real revolutionaries still wouldn’t say anything. , and will never succumb to surrender. So I've been looking forward to a movie that gives us the 'true revolutionaries' - what they faced, what they feared, what they conquered.
So the blood and fear of "The Wind" was given to me.
The first act of letting the dog bite people has already made friends around me unbearable to watch it, not to mention the nail-like chair like an iron maiden. It cannot be denied that the producer used some curious things in torture, such as that deeply impressed me. Reminds me of SM's 'check your body' - people who are not mentally tough enough may really break down. In the scene where Zhang Hanyu was tortured by acupuncture, he still felt pain in his skin without seeing flesh and blood, and he was rubbing his lower body with a hemp rope that was deliberately scraped and rubbed rough, which made his friends scolded 'perverted'.
I don’t know if these torture methods are really testable. As far as I understand, they are just a magnified representation of the fears that the revolutionaries of that era faced every day, and the torture they faced once they were arrested—my own. Experience, in front of works of art, the perception of the viewer is often not as great as the real bearer, so the director amplifies the torture, and then reduces the perception of the viewer, which may be closer to the real feeling of the revolutionaries.
——So this kind of fear that makes me want to scream, close my eyes, want to escape, and dare not imagine these things happening to me, is the basis for finally being able to raise my intentions——This What kind of fear, what kind of bloodshed, what kind of cruelty can't be described in words, and what kind of will a real revolutionist has to be able to overcome.
That's why I think it's unfair to compare "The Sound of the Wind" with "Humanskin Inn", "Death is Coming" or "Chainsaw Massacre" because it has such a thing, because of its horror and gore The meaning of existence is completely different. A comparison can easily turn into the misconception that The Wind is an under-done thriller.
Because of the intention and the high ending, those fears have meanings that not only exist as fears, but the final height is also higher than a single presentation.
So I thought, suspense, bloody fear and intention are the indispensable elements of this film. As the saying goes, they complement each other and are inseparable.
And if you feel those pains when you are looking at it, smell that bloody smell, your stomach may have been cramping, your body has trembling and chills, as long as there is a little that kind of discomfort, then you are right—— You can imagine that in the era that once really existed, the revolutionaries overcame the negative feelings that were many times greater than that little 'uncomfortable', and persisted in their beliefs until the last moment of their lives.
==================
Finally, I want to say, from some comments, I saw some sayings, saying that 'no matter which party is just doing a job, there are not so many people at that time People with high spirits and beliefs, you really just see too few of them.
There are also rappers who come to the secret code. Some people say, 'If it's that simple, as long as the enemy knows about it, won't humming wipe out all of your people' - in fact, this is the case, this secret code that only the inside of the organization knows. , once there are traitors, the enemy can indeed kill everyone after careful arrangement according to the secret code, so the traitor is really the most hated by the underground party = v=——The original words from the grandfather who was a former underground party member.
I'm not a history control, and this drama is not strict, just one, say one.
