it is not without flaws, not without disappointment, and not perfect, but, I still think, "The Wind" deserves to stand up and applaud it in the cinema, for the domestic film. Gradually upgraded, for Mai Jia's brave but perhaps "thankful" revision of his novel for the "movie", for our lovely actors who have become "powerful" from "idols", and for me, who has always felt indifferent and numb Tears pouring out.
First of all, remind everyone that there is no need to use the conventional pattern of Western classic suspense films as a yardstick to measure it. I know that many people are used to the ending of "stunning, like waking up from a dream". Therefore, at the 90th minute, Gu Xiaomeng was very hasty and unprofessional to reveal his identity. The center of gravity was regained. In the end, Wu Zhiguo's revelation obviously made the suspense fans feel that the "suspense" was not heavy enough, but the "emotion" level was enough. ". Rendering such a theme in a suspense film is probably "very Chinese", but it would be too hasty to simply evaluate it as "unprofessional". The traditional Western suspense model full of cold "logic and reasoning" is just a form, not an authority, nor a convention and a rule, and has no role as a ruler. Therefore, for "Chinese characteristics", why can't we look at it with appreciation.
The revision of the Mai family is a kind of courage. Most of the friends who have read the original book will feel that the movie is far inferior to the original book. Think about it from a different perspective. Why would the Mai family feel bad about having a major operation for the successful work that he has painstakingly completed? A best-selling book that won the Mao Dun Literature Award, a film born on the road to commercialization of films, what can he do? The most feared thing in suspense films is spoilers. The books in the bookstore have already revealed every detail. How to change it to become "suspicious" is difficult. In addition, novels and movies are two completely different forms of expression. Readers can be patient and read a novel in two days. Every character, every sentence, and every scene can be sketched in their minds. This is A process of active absorption and active thinking. But the movie is different. This kind of imminent picture scene and rhythm progress is a more passive acceptance for the audience. In order to avoid the audience's brain hypoxia, which is oppressed by the huge amount of information they are exposed to in a short period of time, simplified The plot, full of emotion and propaganda spirit, is in line with the reality of China's broadest film audience. So, HONEY, don't cry anymore because of the revision of the script, reorganize your own work, Mai Jia needs courage, and the choice is painful.
Zhou Xun and Su Youpeng are obviously two idol faces, but they show very "strength". Su Shuai's performance is obvious to all. Although there are not many scenes, every demeanor is outstanding, isn't it? Here I mainly talk about the elf Zhou Xun. When he appeared on the stage, he was dressed in a neat military uniform. He was able and professional, which made people's eyes shine. At the same time, he was secretly worried about her. Can she play this role, who is petite and delicate? Watching the last, tearful moment, so proud of her that she not only did it, but did it well. The aura contained in the petite body made Gu Xiaomeng's interpretation lively and vivid, and the sense of distance created by the rough and hoarse voice just showed her nobility and perseverance. In the pressure and helplessness, she cried for a moment, so pitiful, after the torture The scarred but stern eyes, the contrast between all this and her petite and weak body, deeply moved people's hearts. Zhou Xun is really good.
Who is the "ghost" you start to guess? Ping'er asked
Li Ningyu.
Why?
Because Li Bingbing is more like a legendary female spy, with a resolute and tenacious face, while Gu Xiaomeng, a wealthy girl, has a petty face, too beautiful and too delicate, which makes it easier for people to associate with "fragile"~
Look at it with appreciation. Even if you think "The Sound of the Wind" is still not a masterpiece, and it does not bring surprises, at least you must admit that it is a rare improvement. So , temporarily restrained the critical eyes of domestic films, give it a standing ovation, encouragement is sometimes better than spurring to promote progress.
