The only highlight of this passage is that, unlike the treatment of political prisoners, the prisons in the movie look more humane than the closed Metz prison. The cells painted in goose yellow are very eye-catching, revealing a wave of restlessness. The fresh and fresh style of the movie echoes the yellow stool smeared on the walls in other movies.
If the prison is used as a specific environment, it is only to highlight the sensational theme of reconstructing the relationship between the father and the son, no matter what it expresses. Did the adopted son teach the father and son? The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked? The tiger father has no dogs? Father as a mountain? The idea of the movie "Father and Son in Prison" is to give some inspiration to the screenwriters.
We have left-behind children, and others have children's homes and host families with temporary guardianship. Concerned about these minors who have been ransacked by the cold society and abandoned by a good life, they do not necessarily have to have a tear-jerking identity with their mothers painted on the concrete floor and lying in their arms, nor do they necessarily have to go "All society is coming soon." Follow the news report route. "Father and Son in Prison" wants to have a non-mainstream look, this idea is innovative.
The children abandoned by society are portrayed as being bullied and eventually become little villains who commit crimes and crimes. In order to connect with the love theme of "tadpoles looking for mothers", the children who enter the juvenile correctional institution will be more vigorous and evil, with the goal of doing everything possible to find their relatives in deep prison. Here, the happy life of family reunion seems to be just around the corner.
Father and son share the same wall of the prison, which is one of the wishes of his son Qianlixun's father. Taking on the responsibility of being a father in the situation of nowhere to escape, a heavy reflection began from here. The restoration of the father-son relationship should not be swallowed up by the law of the weak and the strong. The father and son soldiers joined forces to break the line of life and death. To report on the crimes hidden in the society, and to get the treatment for the response, think about it, is a relatively alternative way of breaking through.
Regrettably, the brilliance here has to be dimmed, and the happy ending is not suitable for this kind of movie at all. However, drilling into the old routine, the second step that began to degenerate is to directly turn "Father and Son in Hell" into a small pattern of clichés. As long as the "Prophet", "Felony" and "In the Name of the Father" are disassembled and reassembled with furs, it will look like "Father and Son in Deep Prison." I have always asked for European films with extraordinary appearances. I gave the green light to "Father and Son in Prison" without paying any attention to the drawbacks of its ethics. It also gave me the courtesy of complimenting at the Independent Film Festival in the United Kingdom. The more I think about things, the more interesting things I find.
Do not blame others, do not stun others, kick off social problems, just look in the mirror for self-examination, Hollywood crime movies like to use the topic of "emotion management" to discuss criticism and self-criticism. "The impulse is the devil" is a problem. As a component, it can also be produced on a factory scale. Adam Sandler, who played popcorn comedy, would use it, and Martin Scorsese, a master known as a sociologist, would also use it.
However, European films generally like to produce something "unique". No matter how humble directors are, they also dislike factory goods. They pursue the high and the niche in the name of art, and they all want to put on a unique monopoly look. . Therefore, when they use film stories to criticize and criticize, they rarely interfere with the "defects" of the characters' personalities, but instead show an attitude of not blindly following the mainstream, no matter how harsh, all are framed in the category of art. This makes European films explore the blind spots of social problems. Its purpose is to provide a completely open view of the dimension. Sometimes the problems are too regular, and they also deliberately make chaos. The filmmakers themselves do not believe in "detoxification of detoxification". "This kind of stuff.
When I am in a desperate time, I also want to show the British images of senior, school, sports and other identity pedigrees, and I love to show the arrogant and stubborn way of doing things. Crime-related movies seem to have a complete break with the classical, noble, and constitutional rules of the sun never set empire, and abandon the so-called "no loss of decency", which seems to be an unconventional default rule.
Especially fans from the British independent film world, they are cheering for seeing the real humanity soaked in "Bloody Mary". Holding "Two Smoking Guns", becoming a skinhead, singing "We are pests," "This is England", while struggling with life in "Dirt", while eager to die on the tracks of "Training". Based on this, I saw the film "Father and Son in Prison" with the label of British independent film, and knew that it had experienced the little regret of "thunder and rain" last year. It took the lead with eight nominations for British independent films, and finally only Withdrawing the Best Supporting Actor Award, my curiosity and enthusiasm was ignited instead.
After watching it, I can’t fully interpret the mentality and intention of "I want to give you, but I don’t want to give you" at the British Independent Film Festival, but in my personal feelings, this film actually betrayed the British independent film hobby halfway through. The author’s "love and deep". Perhaps it has two minds from the beginning, and it is both good and evil, and black and white take all. Therefore, when expressing prison life, the "abnormal" state that needs to be expressed to the extreme seems daunting. To be precise, it is not dirty enough, crazy enough, or maverick enough.
The social volunteers who were inserted in the prison to provide psychological counseling for prisoners said that he did not eat public food and had the meager wealth left by his ancestors to support his "good preaching" life that he could only go out and out, and that he did not cooperate with the illegal games of prison guards. Have the angelic spirit of selfless dedication; then, turn to the main melody-style popular science education film, very solemnly promote the applicability and practicality of the "emotion management" course. Even in a few passages about "small classrooms", the rhythm is controlled to a degree of relaxation, but this kind of overwhelming handling is completely thankless.
In fact, there is no need for preconceived style as a reference. Swordsmanship, heavy accents, swear words, bloodletting murder, gay love, naked violence, prison situation, my descriptive language is enough to stimulate imagination, mixed together, like a washbasin of "hairy blood", I know "Father and Son in Deep Prison" includes all the above elements. It doesn't matter whether there are any predicted pictures or not. The straightforward information is there. When watching the film, we must expect it to be a new work that subverts tradition and out of style. .
David Mackenzie has made good reputation films such as "Eros Madness" and "Perfect Feeling" and is an experienced director. In my opinion, there is a common problem in his works. He likes edge topics with a sense of blade, but he adheres to a "rule" that can't be infringed or slanderous in his style of acting. Therefore, movies always give people an impact that is not full of vividness. It's like asking a man with cleanliness to be a beggar, shave his sloppy beard and face black before going out, and smell the refreshing scent of aftershave.
The problem is always there. There are often clear differences in the background colors between simple social crime films and political violence films. The former requires perverted violent violence, and the latter cannot underestimate the cold and harsh conspiracy. The background color is dotted with contradictory ones. The element may be harmless or the finishing touch. But if the background color is changed, and then no matter how polished it is, both will make people dizzy, one will become a deep little hooligan, and the other will become a "waste of character" brain-dead conspirator.
Of course, the film "Father and Son in Prison" has not met the requirements of the "extreme". I found that I am not fainted with blood, but I fainted with the sharp weapon, fainted by the horror picture I imagined myself. David Mackenzie's delicacy played a role in the handling of this situation. Whether the host used his teeth to bite the prison guard's private parts, or cut the meat with a toothbrush blade, the blood slowly penetrated, and the blood dripped across the skin, which made me unsightly. Maybe I am also confined to stubbornness. When the host's blade is pressed against Jagos's lower lip, I am sure that his blade will draw blood waves on Jagos's dark neck, which is out of mine. Imagine avoiding the tongue of imitating "The Prophet".
Besides, the detail processing and acting skills of the whole movie show good quality. Ben Mendelson, who played his father, was recognized for his acting skills and won the Independent Film Award for Best Supporting Actor. I don't know how many of the audiences here are "yan control". This eldest brother performed a heavy "sense of security", the comradeship of the elder brother, the chivalrous tenderness of the eldest brother, the careful eyes of the elder brother, and the delicate fatherly love of the elder brother. In short, this elder brother is very exciting.
In addition, for a hillbilly like me, nude scenes are the biggest selling point of the show. Europeans don’t think there is anything worthy of special attention. If you like, you can put Daniel Radek on the wall of the bedside. Reeve’s Harry Potter stills can also be pasted with a nude photo of him performing at the West End Opera House in London. It doesn’t hurt to enlarge it. The most selfless and generous nude scene in "Father and Son in Prison" is set in a fight scene in a public bath. The 23-year-old Jack O'Connell is very proud to show off the figure of a boy who is free from childishness and eat more protein powder. If you practice hard for a few more days, you can be a tough guy to make.
