"Everywhere to the End" inherits the consistent style of Spanish movies. The scenes are cramped and the actors are small. They are often a lineup of dramas. Watching a small stage, watching the actors tell you stories, you forget that this is where you are. One room and one space, as if sitting on the sea of stars.
The film is almost concentrated in two basements separated by a wall, with only ten actors, and the story structure is very simple.
The male protagonist is set to be disabled, which strengthens his weak position relative to robbers who have guns, and can logically defeat his opponents at the end by relying on intelligence and wit, which is very similar to the recent Indian films. Like, "The Tuner", "A Mother's Revenge", "Omnipotent". In the later period, a series of preparations for the male protagonist were completed in one go, then to emergencies, and then to a clever move, which fully reflects the image of the male protagonist's perfect combination of courage and IQ.
The story is driven by listening as the main axis. Surveillance - It is undeniable that people's inferior roots are exposed under these two words. Movies such as "Rear Window", "Eavesdropping" series, Oscar-winning "Eavesdropping Storm" have been revealed to us, and they know other people's secrets. How terrifying and how powerful the person who gets the secret will become. Even when our audience sees the pictures in those monitors through the lens and hears the secrets inside, does not a sense of security arise spontaneously? Psychologically, there is no need to criticize people, and this is one of the reasons why listening movies always attract audiences. Compared with the same type of film mentioned above, all the effects monitored by the male protagonist in this film are not inherited, and in the final climax part is simply a killer.
In terms of genre, the suspenseful flavor of this film is much lighter. I prefer to compare it with the recent Indian films, which may be more similar. Although the lack of suspense leads to the lack of a reversal of the climax at the end, some coincidences are behind What happened was quite dramatic.
Here I can't help but talk about the current Spanish and Indian films. In the past, we thought that the rich and distinctive cultures of various places should attract the people of the world, but in recent years, the Indian films and Spanish films that we have praised frequently, there are not so many Brahmins who sing and dance, nor are they in the bullring. The dancing bullfighters, those films are replaced by the background of the United States and China, replaced by the background of Japan and South Korea, it is still a good story and a good movie. They are really attracted by the story, not trying to bring some exotic flavor to foreign audiences. This is quite worthy of consideration by domestic directors and screenwriters.
In the end, let me say that the things I pondered and feared in this film are not my imagination. It is indeed what the director wants the audience to see. The information revealed in it at the end is very taboo according to the current domestic censorship standards. If it can pass the censorship, it is more like the experts did not see the information disclosed in it, rather than thinking that the current censorship system is tolerant.
