      A bloody case caused by a battery car

      Diao Yinan is back with his new work. The title of the film is very attractive, "The Party at South Station".

      In 2014, he won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the 64th Berlin Film Festival with the film "Fireworks in the Day", and the name of director Diao Yinan also entered the eyes of more audiences with his strong personal narrative style. "The Gathering at Southern Station" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, and it...

      What am I writing when I write this review? ? ?

      I just knew that I shouldn't run to watch this kind of niche genre film series with a hot head in the promotion of Hu Ge's explosive acting skills - it's not my thing at all. From the dialect dialogue of the characters in the first five minutes of the film, the contrast of light and shadow colors spread out in the cold tones of the blockbuster, the deliberately created dark and depressing atmosphere, the exquisite lens aesthetics and composition (Gui Lunmei first appeared in the scene from...

      more than word count...

      I love it so much! ! ! The director's control over the emotions of the characters and the rhythm of the film simply won my heart. On the edge of the city, the tension of trust between people is extremely tense, and all living beings have ghosts, absurd and real. Different from Quentin's naked blood, who put the rotten evil directly in front of you, Diao Yinan presents a kind of blood that is full of primitive wildness but quiet and restrained, growing and annihilating in the rainy night. A...

      Wuhan, a river and lake

      As a person who has lived in Wuhan since he was a child, he is very familiar with the urban village in the film. After living in the urban village near Xudong Village for two or three years, the life of ordinary people is naturally not so thrilling and exciting, and there is no chase of gunfights. , there is no bloody fighting, just seeing the familiar corridors, stalls, and the night market life that has gradually disappeared, it is inevitable to sigh, who would have thought that the...

      You really need to pay attention to the idea of ​​the prey

      The experience of watching "The South" is very strange. It is dark and chaotic. From time to time, there are harsh sounds that suddenly sound. These sounds not only startle you, but also frighten the characters in the movie. Reflecting the character's turbulent inner state, these sounds constantly stimulate the rhythm and turns of the whole movie, forming a vortex in which people rush to the left and right, and are slowly swept into it.

      3.5 I almost laughed out loud when I saw Gui Lunmei's effort to pretend (even with some kind of reluctance) when she said "I'm satisfied with you", Hu Ge was so fluttering and had no sense of existence. It's not easy to maintain the overall rhythm. The sound is very imaginative, perhaps the most valuable aspect of the entire...

      The form is bigger than the content, but the form is too beautiful. When I think about it now, those Wuhan dialects with a stiff accent, long night scenes, intertwined with flickering neon lights, have all become a distant and weird dream. I am still very grateful to Diao Yinan for taking such pictures of...

      The audio-visual language is highly formalized and stylized, and the surprise lies in integrating a traditional type of story of criminal escape and police pursuit into the space and group portrait depiction of a local street scene in a Chinese urban village. The editing and scheduling of the action scenes are wonderful, and the characterization All take a back seat and there will be...

      If the main actor's native language is not the local dialect, then don't start the game without practicing the lines. In the past, it was necessary to experience life in the local area for a long time before being able to integrate into the role. Although the director apologized to the Chinese audience after the end, But the chaotic lines that don't show their teeth still greatly affect the viewing experience, and all the core characters give people the feeling that they can be played well by...

      Hu Ge is not melancholy, but the whole person is depressed, out of the film, twisting and struggling, the two produce a kind of resonance...

    Evaluation action

    The most surprising thing about "Wild Goose Lake" is that it integrates the traditional genre story of a criminal escape and the police chase into the space and group portrait depiction of a city and village streetscape with Chinese characteristics. Police, bandits, and women constantly shuttle between the streets and buildings in Wuhan, converge and separate, separate and converge. All kinds of passers-by and this cat-and-mouse game...
