Survive in the wild

I have been thinking about how to describe the feeling after watching this movie.
I am not a fan of Xiao Li, even Xiao Li’s face powder. I couldn’t even see Gatsby at the beginning. I sighed that Xiao Li hadn’t been so handsome in a long time, and he was even a little uncomfortable with being so handsome. Of him. His spirit, his madness, and even his evil, are more enjoyable than the handsome.
When the stills of the Wilderness Hunter were in front of me, I didn't feel much about his appearance, as if he was born to be like this.
Undoubtedly, this is not the type I like. If it wasn't for Xiaolizi, to be precise, it wasn't for Xiaoli who finally ended that century with this work. I'm afraid I would hesitate to watch it. In terms of heavy taste, he is actually not as uncomfortable as the wolf of Wall Street. In fact, I can imagine that there will be some violent and bloody scenes in this film, and this film does not exceed my imagination. But when these shots were placed in front of my eyes, I still closed my eyes and still felt uncomfortable.

The context of the story is very simple. Xiao Lizi was injured by the bear and abandoned by the team. After all kinds of hardships, he survived tenaciously and succeeded in revenge. Although I don't know much about the inter-ethnic struggles in the northern part of the United States at that time, I don't understand my understanding of the content of this film. The theme of this film is still about survival, humanity, and contradiction and reconciliation between races. Every time Xiao Lizi dreams of the scenes of herself and his wife in her dreams, it is very sad and desolate, and she always expressly alludes to these themes.

As a biographical adaptation, the story cannot be said to be very exciting, the plot can actually be predicted in advance. But the rhythm is well controlled, and the shooting brought me a great shock. Some people commented that this is Xiao Lizi’s personal show. It was patted by a bear, a hole in his neck, a lame leg, his son was murdered, eating raw meat, drifting on ice, hiding in a horse’s carcass for warmth... It has evolved into all kinds of wild you can imagine. Survive. However, I don’t agree with this statement. This is obviously a personal show of the director and photographer. There are multiple angles to follow Xiao Li’s perspective. Some are magnificent, some are weird, some are gentle and some are bold, sometimes It was terribly jubilant and sometimes quiet and terrible. It can be said that the lack of plot is perfectly complemented by the rhythm configuration and shooting effect.

Of course, Xiao Lizi's performance is indeed worthy of the Oscar actor. Some of the previous films always gave me a feeling of excessive force. In the first half of the Wilderness Hunter, due to injuries on his body, he paid great attention to the details of his body shape. He performed a stubborn hunter who was on the verge of death and came alive very well.

This movie is excellent, but I shouldn't watch it again. The shock of certain shots will be remembered forever.
Congratulations and best wishes to DiCaprio Leonardo again! !

    Gonzalez's repressive long-take style remains the same, but it suits my taste. The long shots are shocking, and the empty shots are intoxicating. Photography deserves an Oscar. Makeup is also great. I can't help but look at the slag picture quality, it's right to watch the IMAX version! As for Xiao Li's hard performance, it's a matter of opinion, and my personal feeling is very consistent with the temperament of the film. There are not many lines, but the sentences are straight to the heart, and the ending is also very shocking. It's a masterpiece! The deletion of the mainland version is not obvious

    The film is worthy of these tags: human nature adventure, revenge, violence, inspiration, etc. Abandoning our consistent impression of Leonardo in our minds, this person is really like a thought in terms of acting alone. The overall film is very imposing, the plot arrangement is not messy than the scales, in short, it is a fairly shocking film.
