The "Prophet" lens is very comfortable to use, it doesn't feel dizzy when it dangles, and the texture of the telephoto is also good, but except for the murder scene in the car, and a few small-scale exposures, there is nothing special. It is handheld. The traditional route of shooting.
Talk about the content.
This translated name is not very good, I think it should be translated as "Prophet", Muhammad is a Prophet. The meaning of "prophet" is not only to predict the future, but also to lead the audience through this ability, a political leader.
The whole movie is centered on the role of "Prophet", and all plots are extensions of him. His experience is a successful model for a politician. From the first killing of his compatriots, Gou Quan under the protection of the Corsican gang, to gradually using the relationship between various factions, to use his fist and to strengthen his prestige in and out of prison, to the final elimination of the Corsican gang and let the Arabs in prison. People are respected, and what he plays is the role of an Arab leader, and he also clearly has the characteristics of a political leader: able to endure humiliation and compromise; skillfully mobilize the relationship between all parties to serve his own purposes; and act calmly and ruthlessly. There is also the most important point, whether for political leaders, gang leaders, or big brothers, that is: being strong is a means, not an end, and being strong is to benefit one's own people. This is the difference between a leader and a tyrant.
In the past, gangster films and prison films focused on shaping how elder brother is awesome, but this film goes deeper, talking about politics in prison and a prophet as a leader.
