If I watch it alone, I probably won't watch this movie. As narrow as I am, I am more fond of romantic films. However, Xiao Lizi finally won the Oscar with this film this year, and always felt that he owed him a movie ticket. So I invite friends to go with me.
Fighting with bears and being ripped apart by bears, eating raw carrion, live fish, and animal entrails, hiding naked in dead horses to keep warm, brutal killings among different tribes, all are not my favorite scenes, but the director filmed it too well, and I know it is The plot needs to be treated as an experience.
Photographer Emmanuel Lubezki (Emmanuel Lubezki is too awesome, the scenery is a big love, I heard that I used a lot of long shots. It is also because of this film that I know that most of the scenery shot is in Alberta, Canada. Alberta, this must be on my places must visit list. My friend said that I like people who focus on doing one thing and do it to the extreme. I feel the same way. The scenery in this film is primitive, cool and atmospheric. From At the beginning of the film, when the sound of running water in the forest came clearly, I was stunned. Survival and revenge in the grand background of nature have more tragic power, shocking and thinking.
Xiaoli is also desperate enough Yes, it makes me think that as long as you really want something and keep working hard, the whole universe will help you. Without the strong participation of the director and photographer, who knows if Xiao Lizi will miss the Oscar this time? ?
As far as the film itself is concerned, I think the theme is revenge and faith. Because of revenge, a strong will to survive is ignited, and the resilience and potential of the body are stimulated to overcome so many inhuman survival challenges. Because of belief, talent He came back to life again and again when he was on the verge of death. In the end, he took revenge. In the eyes of Xiao Lizi, the bereaved child and the family were destroyed. The sadness and despair that had no one to rely on filled the air. It also seemed to fall down at once.
More than revenge, this film moved me more about faith. Somewhere in the world, there is a kind of power that makes the wicked get revenge. "Bible" Romans 12:19: "Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay,' says the lord." (Don't take revenge for personal reasons, let the Lord judge, as he said, "Vengeance is mine, if I have wrongs, I will avenge them.") It's not just the Chinese saying that good people will have good retribution, and evil people will have evil retribution. Everyone should have standards about good and evil.
Every time I watch a movie, I experience someone else's life. If I go through Glass's life, can I face the blows of life as strong as he does? At present, I don't have such ability to bear, but I can feel that the ability to bear misfortune is increasing, but it is a blessing to be able to live a normal life, and people should not expect to endure too many hardships. It should be not to take the initiative to provoke hardships. When hardships come, don't be afraid. Life has its own purpose. What you endure is what you can endure.

The unknown power, please take care of all human.
