Curse from the forest

The wind will never blow down a tree with roots. This is the whisper of Hugh Glass's deceased wife in his ear when he was closest to his death, over and over again. When the wind is hovering over the forest and all the leaves are staggered and messy, you think they are all about to fall. As a result, the leaves suddenly fell silent, as usual. And he seemed to be sentenced to death every time, and every time he miraculously survived. It's like a tree that can't fall down. Compared with the director's previous work, this film has already reduced a lot of vigor. After all, it should be a compromise with traditional narrative and acceptance. Even Xiao Lizi's performance was not subverted as imagined. His performance was set off by the entire harsh environment, concealing the suspicion of excessive exertion, and the lack of lines just gave him a reason for introversion. But learning to mobilize facial performance instead of roaring is already the first step for Xiao Li's performance to be accepted. In the film, he is thrown into a wilderness, a glacier, being tortured by bears, and various unbearable tragedies of bereavement. In this way, all his struggles and angry expressions are understood. Especially the last one who looked out of the camera, looked at us and suddenly stopped, that kind of contemplative coldness, perplexity, helplessness, and despair, everyone who looked out of the lens was at a loss. After all, people are still downcast in the face of fate. However, at the end, the question is even more serious: After completing his revenge, how can he continue to live? Because of the harsh natural environment, the soul will never be worthless, especially a soul that is already empty. At this point, he and his enemy John Fitzgerald are essentially no different. They all suffered the collapse of their faith. Fitzgerald killed God as a squirrel; the last breath that supported Glass was not a good respect for life, but revenge. As a dual victim of humanity and nature, all the goodness of him has turned into the dust of the past and appeared in the illusion. The difference between him is that he still relies on emotions and hopes, but when all of this is taken away, he holds his son’s body in the illusion, but finally holds a tree empty, his body Alive, his soul has been almost pierced. Therefore, he returned to modern civilization as a vengeful soul. In addition to marveling at a person's willpower to survive, this movie is more worrying about where his wounded soul will be placed besides the gratitude of the enemy. The collapse of faith, the mountains piled up with bones in the illusion, the mottled walls of the church in the illusion, and the silently swaying bell are all obvious proofs. The relationship between God and man has always been a philosophical proposition that the director thinks about. In previous works, he tried to express the connection between the stories and his own cruelty, such as "Love It's a bitch", "Tongtian Tower" and so on. This time, he has chosen to hide this theme poetically behind the story, only as a symbol, clearly appearing in the illusion, and it is much less clear at a glance. In addition to the dryness of the single-line revenge story, it is difficult to recall the desolation when facing "Birdman" and "Tongtian Tower", the film's lens language is still sufficiently "horrendous". The entire scene is portraying the protagonist's psychological description. For example, when he watched his son being killed, the strong wind whizzed past, and the whole forest was trembling. This is his anger raging. For example, the ups and downs in the pure white world, only the tiny black spot of people is slowly moving. It is similar to the perspective of God's overlooking. There are also those empty shots that cut the narrative, almost directly the landscape murals of the ice and snow world. So cold and so soft. The insertion of the empty lens was like a leaf that was messed up by the wind suddenly gaining a moment of silence. At that moment, people's fear, cold, anger, hatred... seemed to fall asleep for a moment. The vegetation of this wilderness grows freely, forgetting all human beings, which is in sharp contrast to the blood killing and restlessness between people. What kind of beauty of the snow country is that? The azure blue night sky is studded with countless stars, which are as low as falling down; the leaves frozen in by the frost, the green faintly reveals... Suddenly I feel that I have seen such a beautiful scenery, even if I am willing to die immediately. In short, this film understates racial vendettas, but it is far from enough to have the shadow of "Dancing with Wolves"; it poetically expresses the collapse of belief or the relationship between man and nature in symbolic form, expressing meaning but not emotional. Although the story is not enough to linger in your heart, you will still miss it because of the majestic nature of photography and the delicate beauty at the same time. This is also the result of their in-depth shooting in dangerous situations. Finally, I want to talk about God's mercy. Kindness can be glimpsed in the silence of all things. In a cold place where it is difficult for humans to survive, the vegetation is a quiet life. The killing happened quietly and was quietly buried. The hunters who were shot to death by random arrows, the Indians who were slaughtered in the village, the boys who were stabbed to death, the Pawnees who were hanged, the enemies who were scalped... They were all dead, wandering in the forest, living in each In a tree. Death gave them peace. The whole film has been suppressed in blood, violence, and tragedy, and can't get respite. After that, we might be more willing to recall that rare tranquil scene: he on a spotted horseback, like a child licking falling snowflakes.

    The Adventures of Little Plum. Fighting with black bears, falling off cliffs, sleeping on the stomach, capitalized tragic words. If Xiao Li takes the actor this year, the Oscar actor will be worse and worse for three consecutive years. Matthew bought Connor and got AIDS, the freckles got frostbite, and another little plum. . . . What is the next Oscar winner? ! Die!

    A movie that the entire crew suffers a lot. The harsh natural environment is the protagonist of this movie. The natural light photography and slow narrative rhythm are also trying to amplify the environment. The wild revenge logic of the western film makes the revenge itself change. It has to be simple and rude. The ten-sequence plays do not rush or slow down, and there are no amazing parts. The genre-based editing rhythm is expected, the best photographer Roger Diggins next year! ★★★
