It's weird, why did I watch two movies about men in a row? And it's the story of the journey of four men. I didn't plan it on purpose, but when I was watching "Walk With Me", I suddenly thought of this.
There are four men in these two movies, and the types of these two groups of people are extremely similar. In "Four Warriors of Torrent", there is a handsome and sturdy man who occupies the position of the boss; there is also a moderate man who has some shrewdness; then there is a man who wears glasses and likes to play guitar; and finally there is a man Fat people are weaker.
Among the four boys in "Walk With Me", the one who occupies the eldest position is a cool boy. In the words of the movie, everyone thinks that he will become a hooligan in the future; the protagonist is "I", the narrator of the story, More introverted, like to think about problems; then there are children with glasses and a fat boy.
Why are the characters in these two movies set like this? Are the men in the world divided into these types? Which one do I belong to?
Both of these movies are great and very nice. The narrative method of "Four Warriors of Rapids" is very similar to the continuous river, not the rapids, but the slow and unhurried flow. The story is told meticulously and methodically, like a weather-beaten old man. I like this kind of storytelling.
The screenwriter of "Walk With Me" is Stephen King, so there is a certain suspense at the beginning of the story. Four children travel together to see a corpse. Although the narration is not detailed enough, it is fortunate that the focus has been found, and the pure friendship between the teenagers is expressed as simple and complex. The ending of the story is not very good, it is a kind of essay ending, which I don't like.
Of the two movies, I like "The Four Horsemen" better because it's more exciting and involves human nature that no one can articulate. I think this movie seems to be trying to clarify what human nature is, but fortunately it didn't go into depth, otherwise it would be boring.
Now I think, there is something wrong with the order in which I came across these two movies. I should have watched "Walk With Me" first, then "The Four Riders of the Torrent". The former is about juvenile friendship, which is simple and beautiful, while the latter can be seen as the adulthood of four children. When they grow up, they all become complicated.
