That's great... It's almost entirely male, and it does feel like something's missing after watching it, but it's still amazing. Definitely worth watching multiple times! Even the first time, the impression is very amazing. Absolutely excellent audio-visual, neat and magnificent. The incomparably confident opening, with no lines, is all told by the camera, almost returning to the beautiful harmony of the silent film era, the muddy, dry, taciturn environment, the contest between men and death threats. With the addition of music and sound effects lines, the characters' motives become clear, the characters' images become full, the emotions gradually enter, and the complexity is presented step by step, which is a very beautiful process. There is not much music, but it will not make people feel that it is deliberately restrained. Every time it cooperates with the picture, it shows a very unique charm, especially the part where D is holding the son who has just been bombed, which is amazing.

There is nothing to say about the starring performance, the lines are great, the conflict of human nature becomes clearer and clearer with the plot, the capitalists have a clear face, and they are still fighting for the "winner" status at the last moment, but it is difficult to judge. Greed, belligerence, insidiousness, hatred, loneliness, and indeed they are and oppress others, even at the cost of their lives. How do you evaluate the means they use to achieve their ends? The good thing about the movie is that it doesn't blindly exaggerate their "evil", but really shows the situation they really face and therefore their state of mind as the "strong and evil" party. Not to mention the threat of the giant, when the people around him treat him like this, and even pretend to be his relatives to deceive himself... Suddenly there is a feeling... like Mr. Yi in "Lust, Caution", so I dare not even make love. Eye. The connection between the beach scene (reminiscence of childhood) and before (talk about hate) and after (killing) makes a lot of sense.

In fact, the three words I remember the most: weak (Eli scolds his father), hate (Daniel talks to the fake brother), maliciousness (the last paragraph is hideous).

Whether it's the "obscure" ranch people or the D who is constantly exploiting, they are all dominated by the logic of capitalist society. You can see that Eli can't live anymore. ). Because the logic of this world is that means are everything, interests are everything, competition is everything, and you have to fight for all these, keep fighting, others are enemies and opponents in battle. Fake relatives, picked children, priests, or a certain farmer all had to be on guard. Bullying the soft and fearing the hard is not what you want to do, but is forced to do so. There is no other way but to be the hardest one. If this logic is not used, what logic will be used to compete with it?

So the character Eli is also quite interesting, maybe the most interesting one. To me, he feels like a very hazy person, I can't see clearly, and I don't know what kind of person he is.

The character of the son seems to be the only one who has some hope? Because first of all he is independent, and the key is that his heart seems to be the kindest and brightest. But the film explains very little about this "hope", and it may not be easy without digging deeper. Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered a writer I read before, Bao Erji Yuanye. He wrote in his prose that a certain partner was deaf. I also copied this sentence at that time. Let's just say, when everyone around them learns all kinds of swear words and starts to speak as adults, the deaf person will always live in the era when he can hear the last time, he doesn't swear, he always speaks that The story of the age of innocence, as if his vocabulary stayed in that age forever. Then I remembered that Borgie Wilder said, I don't know if it was a blessing or a misfortune. Probably fortunately means not being "contaminated", unfortunately it is the deafness itself. At the time, I was very emotional, but I didn't expect this sentence to be included in the movie: Why did I choose to let my son be bombed and deaf, and in the end, only him in the whole film represented some kind of inexplicable hope.

As usual, read and write as usual (chronological order):

1. The opening audio-visual is very attractive, excluding the lines and music, it is very attractive.

2. Both falls of man and thing are extremely powerful. Showing multiple crises in just ten minutes.

3. Close-up - close-up - panorama, the panorama is really very broad, it's a pity not to look at the bigger screen.

4. The scenery is very good, the horizon is really beautiful!

5. Wow...the language of this movie is so strong and clean.

6. The conversation between the capitalists has its head and face.

7. great orator, nice skill

8. Fighting against each other... Jiang is still old and hot (don't let the priest pray but let his own son). Implying that the land is under my control, implying the balance of power.

9. Wow...this church, at first it was a third-person perspective, and then the camera even turned into a ghost, and was kicked out of the door, it was so simple. The sound design is also fantastic.

10. The sunset in ranch is really beautiful.

11. Well…"This is hell of a show." (gas blasting)

12. The music is great, this part.

13. Time is clearly expressed by changes in light. Orange and blue collide, tear, burn. The eyes of the capitalist and the eyes of the priest.

14. Did the fire burn overnight...

15. If I found out I lost my voice wow I will cry...

16. Wow...the tension is endless...it feels like a food chain (D beats E, E beats his dad) It's really the word weak...

17. The first sentence asks identification, and then does not answer the question, and then let people directly admit their situation.

18. The lines are so well written...

19. When two people talk, they all start with each other, we will make you a millionaire. You can tend your son...it's a skill, but it's really good...every time I listen to a sales pitch.

20. Maybe son, family hit his point all at once.

21. OMG...OMG...what a story...

22. If the images of capitalists who are greedy, sinister, violent, jealous, and competitive have been shown before, then they have shown their own status and situation. They must be more concerned, they must be scruples, they must be viewed with hatred, and they must be lonely. . Is this worthy of mercy?

23. There is no trick here... (Church E deletes D slap)

24. "There is a pipeline." Hahahahahahahaha

25. Are they valued for their great ambition and hard labour? But the are certainly accompanied by their loneliness. greediness. aggressiveness. rudeness.

26. When you are old, you are really ugly.

27. That Eli was a lamb.

bon.
