In fact, the main thing for such a film is to read the script. The screenwriter and director have contributed greatly to the success of the play. The script is to successfully set up two clues, "Old Ghost" and "Old Gun". Investigating "Old Ghost" can easily attract the audience's attention, but ignore the clue of "Old Gun" throughout, and finally hit the The screenwriter's "Ambush". The director's success, why did he choose the "No Survivor"-style fortress scene, the various atmospheres, especially the "alternative atmosphere", were well rendered, and the long shots in many places were used coherently, so that the film was completed in one go, rarely for the audience. A chance to relax, to breathe a sigh of relief until it's over.
However, it is a bit too much to talk about being so good. If you like suspense dramas, or even just watch a lot of spy movies, or American criminal investigation dramas, you will find that this drama is not worth mentioning in terms of plot. Spy movies do not focus on logic and suspense, but there are so many sidelines to interfere, and plots that are completely unrelated to the script are repeatedly rendered, but the logic of the ending is very weak. This point can be said to be no better than the domestic spy war TV series "The Conspiracy", which also involves spy warfare, and is also full of rumours ("The Conspiracy" happens to include three chapters of "Listening to the Wind", "Watching the Wind" and "Catch the Wind"), "The Conspiracy" 》There is a more "airtight" logic, the wind can only blow here, so the sound will be louder. The most impressive thing in the movie "The Sound of Wind" is seeing the "Voice Morse Code" again. I watched Conan's 12th theatrical version before. When talking about Conan's use of tones to "dial from a distance", he also laughed at Little Japan for being so stupid. The plot also dared to fool people, but this time, I had to sigh with emotion: "The director's arrangement is the biggest~". In this film, due to many irrelevant renderings, the "suspense" that was supposed to be very tense and attractive has become a fancy display of various restricted levels. (That's right, this film is put in the movie theaters of corrupt capitalist countries, and it is definitely a R-rated film). Heart abuse, body abuse, foul language, violence, pornography, GAY, LES, SM, blood plasma, basically all, it can be seen that the director really prefers taste, but it is no wonder, what are you watching "Hero", "Promise" and "House of Flying Daggers" these days "Golden Armor", "Lust, Caution" and "Apple" mainland movies do not have the "best point", as if there must be no market, so everyone is thinking of ways to squeeze in their own "bad taste" and bring it into a non-grading system. Cinema, euphemistically called "art". However, the most interesting is the audience. Why did they spend so much money, they didn't buy it if they didn't click on the "content". Unfortunately, the "content" is usually more subtle, Oriental beauty! ! Now that the audience has bought it, the radio, film and television bureau will not use the trick of castrating foreign films on its own, and it will also support the national industry.
The above commentary on "The Wind" is also a complaint about the domestic film system. I go to the cinema to watch movies, not to watch your "edge ball", or else I will put my lower "love action movies" on the computer to watch more enjoyable. Therefore, to support the classification of domestic films, come here clearly, don't be so unpromising. (I imagine that if the domestic grading is okay, I should watch Quentin's first, and Wang Jing's second, and that's it).
When it comes to the performance of the actors, everyone in this group show has a lot of roles, the scene is not large, and there are not many characters, but they are also comprehensive. Zhou Xun's style is still so good. At first glance, she is worthy of Huayi's "first sister". She likes it too much. In my heart, among Chinese working actresses, the ranking is second only to Zhao Wei (then Shu Qi and Jiang Wenli). And it is said that Su Youpeng's acting skills are soaring and so on. I think it is similar to Huang Xiaoming. Although it is also great, both of them are too "uncomfortable". Another success of this performance is that it broke through the previous model drama-like heroic character creation. In addition to being witty and brave, the underground party workers also experienced a lot of fear and pain (thinking of "Infernal Affairs") Liang Chaowei in the middle), in this effort for the collective, I will also consider myself, such a true story is really rare, and heroes are of course people. Such a flesh-and-blood character is not so strong anymore. In the face of such torture to extract a confession, the audience will even tend to think that they will be shaken (and indeed the female underground gang confessed the existence of the codebook at the beginning. ~) And in the last paragraph of Zhou Xun's straightforwardness, he directly compared their firm belief with the previous forbearance, showing the greatness of their personality!
If not so picky, it's a good movie to watch.
