For the section chief's film, he may have also come into contact with the Three Gorges good people. But even so, based on my limited reading experience, this film is not excellent. So obsessed with expressing this underlying gloomy reality, I have also seen discussions that the section chief is suspected of catering to European film festivals? Maybe they do like it, it's to their taste, it doesn't matter. The film itself needs diversity. As the author of the film, of course, you can make it according to your own ideas. I think the core of the problem is not that the story shows the underlying rivers and lakes of the plot, but the completion of the entire film, the second half of the rhythm and the explanation of the story are not clean enough, there is a sense of looseness. In other words, he is not good enough in the formal art of the film. Another question is, to what extent has this reality been excavated?
Seeing a comment saying that the size of China's 9.6 million square kilometers is beyond our imagination. To be honest, I don't think people in a developed coastal city can understand this kind of coal-like film. A white-collar worker who goes to work drinking Starbucks in a high-end office building in Pudong, Shanghai, fundamentally cannot understand this kind of rustic life with a sense of struggle at the bottom. China is a country where pre-modern, modern and post-modern coexist.
But how to narrow this gap as much as possible and create certain possibilities for understanding is what the section chief needs to think about. As a lens language, compared to literary language, film should naturally have the advantage of being easier to empathize with. When we read Tolstoy's works, we can also resonate and understand the noble nobles in his works, and we can be moved. Reading Liu Qing's entrepreneurial history can also be touched by his pragmatic and revolutionary passion. Great literature across eras and countries can do it, and there is no reason why great movies can't. In this regard, the section chief did not do enough.
