The prison of the heart is futile

I was looking for a movie a few days ago. I accidentally saw this . I thought it was a political film in the introduction. The father’s love conflicted, and the theme was deepened. After watching for a while, it turned out to be a thriller crime movie. There

are not many movies of this kind, such as the seven deadly sins, deadly ID, etc. It is difficult to grasp movies of this style, especially A crime movie that lasts for 2 and a half hours like this, without any special effects, no beauty, no high-tech, no high IQ crime, it may be a movie that can make people fall asleep, but the facts are not. So this is a test of the director's skill.

Getting back to the subject, the first half of the rhythm is very very slow, the gloomy town, the rain all the time, a large number of panoramic aerial shots, the moderate lens angle, there is no trace of bragging, but it is the basis for these plots Let the director unfold the story little by little, and the character of each character is also very thorough, and in order to hold the audience's heart, from time to time a little clue pops up, because the director is very clear about what the audience wants to know the most. In terms of personality, such as Uncle Wolf's calmness and determination, his wife has collapsed, but he is still so calm, and tells his son to take care of his lonely mother. There is a sentence in the station, two choice, in order to save his daughter, he already knows that he is in front of him. The way is gone. And the black man with glasses is obviously a cowardly character and quite satisfactory. The two fathers have very different personalities, forming a strong contrast, which is also a selling point of the drama. The

story is divided into two lines, and Uncle Wolf is outside the law. Road, police detective Fanelu, after 2 and a half hours, the two lines are constantly intersecting and colliding. Here again, the acting of Jack Gyllenhaal, who plays the detective, perfectly interprets a calm policeman. Detective. Just as Uncle Wolf no longer sells muscles (I watched Wolverine 2 yesterday, when I saw the protagonist got scratched, he naturally thought, Huh? Why didn’t he healed). These two main lines also constitute the entire movie. In all, the two male protagonists are close to the truth time and time again, but the unfolding of the falsehood again and again pushes the movie to a climax. This is really not the last to guess who the criminal is, and even when a police detective caught a snake Male time (this should be the last climax of the end of the movie according to common sense) If it is not for the time, I think the movie is over.

As for the spiritual enlightenment or thoughts of this film, I can't talk about it. It is better to see him as a suspenseful crime film. In short, the director Dennis Villeneuve (Representative: Scorched Earth City) ) Brought a two-and-a-half-hour suspense novel to the audience.

If you want to comment on the best shot of the year, I think the last overtaking scene should be shortlisted. Change the slow-paced shot in front, switch quickly, and be blood-stained The eyes that can’t see clearly, the lens follows the virtual and real zoom of the vision, the majestic heavy rain makes the audience have a strong sense of substitution, and at the same time, it also fully expresses the sincere feelings of the characters. So there is no need to say more later, detective and Xiao Although the girl only said one sentence after meeting: hi.

    Dennis Villeneuve certainly didn't love his good friend Jack enough, and gave such a role with little narrative effect. Trying to play new tricks in the routines of Hollywood dark crime thriller genres. The religious elements and two-line narrative are really impressive, but after all, I still tossed in the routines of commercial genre movies. It is a pity that I failed to escape the shackles. Fortunately, The director's rhythm control and shot scheduling are quite masterful. ★★★☆

    Four and a half stars, close to the story of "Missing" (1956) and the detection of "Citizen X" and "The Zodiac", the plot is deep while maintaining the tension of the audience, the setting of the scene and the suspense technique complement each other. The concept of "prisoner" does not only exist between the kidnapper and the hostage, the father and the suspect, the priest and the admonisher all constitute the prisoner's relationship. On the other hand, it puts vague moral boundaries before it-devout religious believers degenerate into ruthless sinners.
