Excessive force, not deep

I give three points, not to lower the crazy score, but this movie is still some distance away from the Palme d'Or. The movie is a good movie. You can see the director and screenwriter's intentions. It can be said that the two and a half hours of the movie is over without feeling the passage of time. The rhythm is really fast and the effort is really fierce. However, each topic is very shallow. What moved me very much was that my mother asked her daughter to deliver food to the basement, but it is a pity that this movie said a little about everything, and at the end it felt like nothing was said. There are still many bugs that have not been solved. Why was the old housekeeper beaten before he rang the doorbell to enter the house? After the little boy cracked the Morse code, it did not help the plot development, just like after Bran rolled his eyes, who should do what? what.

All in all, a good movie, great to watch, but compared to last year's Thief Family, I personally think there are some gaps.

    To be honest, I was a little disappointed. It is indeed a very cleverly conceived, very good story, interlocking, various reversals, and the performance of the actors is also very good. But in the end it still fell a bit into Han Ying's usual routine. Now I can understand why the director said that it cannot be spoiled, because if it is spoiled, the viewability of the film will be greatly reduced. Satire, cold humor, reflection on social issues, these are all felt. But I'm sorry, this is really not the Palme d'Or that I was looking forward to.

    I didn't carry this stone, it was this stone that followed me tightly. Money is like an iron, it can iron people without a trace of wrinkles. If I had money, I would be kinder than them. These incisive, old-fashioned lines will soon become popular—appearing on your movie calendar next year. From the first shot, I remembered the heavy rain in Beijing in 2012. Many residents have discovered that many people who are usually invisible have popped up in the community. It turned out that there were millions of people in various basements. Finally, as the low-end population, they were slowly wiped out together. When the flood comes, who can light a cigarette with you, in the past?
