Generally speaking, the main purpose of the film is still clear, and there is no strong confrontation between contradictory views, which means that it can still be seen relatively smoothly. It's just a slight reversal of the plot, which made my earlier discussion about this may be a confrontation about "what is blood and kinship" (on this point, after seeing the counterfeit "WALT", my assumption is this : The process of trying to find the real "WALT" is tortuous and fruitless, and getting along with the fake "WALT" during the period is a process of contradiction and entanglement, which may lead to maternal love, and when the real "WALT" appears, then The dramatic climax of the so-called confrontation between blood relatives and non-blood relatives of maternal love, to explore whether they are different, whether they are sequential, whether they are high or low...), maybe this is the distance between ordinary people and screenwriters. The plot revolves around JOLIE's difficult journey to find parents and children, interspersed with clues of a BT child abuse murderer, and intertwined with a story that contains more than just great maternal love.
It's easy to talk about it after going around such a big circle in the first paragraph. Personal impression:
Two shocks:
First, when the boy who crossed the border (forgot his name) confessed to the police detective, at first the detective looked at the scene of the boy with a cigarette in his mouth. "Condescending", this lens language gave me a strong shock, although the reason is unknown; after listening to the incredible narrative, the lens used slow motion to express the silent scene of long-term accumulation of soot and unintentionally falling. The silence here is ingenious Yes, so that I can find that I have suppressed the sound of breathing. My heart was trembling, and while trembling, I couldn't help but recall the wonderful meaning of this cigarette.
The second is the unstoppable perseverance of the young man when he dug up the corpse that he buried with his own hands. In medicine, it may be described as "obsessive-compulsive disorder". With the music that is gradually increasing, I can't help but feel pity in my heart. So I agree that this is cruel, but the helplessness of wanting to feel the same but only touching his pain, left me with a sadness that will be difficult to dissipate for a while.
A moving point: Well, I admit that I am a sentimental and easily moved layman. In fact, this paragraph is nothing special, just an ordinary scene - the scene where a pair of parents find their son and recognize each other at the end of the film really moved me a little. But of course I won't cry, but it seems that the foreshadowing for the subsequent description of WALT seems to have been completely destroyed by this moving, so that I have no feelings about the deeds of WALT's saving lives and the remaining hope for JOLIE, small regret. Well, it is.
A disgusting knot: I guess it is my knot that is serious when I talk about the knot - I don't seem to know when I can't bear the strength of this hanging. The desperation of waiting for the ferrule and then seeing darkness in front of me really made me feel a little nauseous. The film's description of the hanging scene is not very bad, but to my surprise, some cruel scenes are included in it. If we talk about the murderer's tearful prayers and repentance, the difficulty of walking and the fear when he was covered with a cloth bag, we also It can be understood that if it is necessary to render the plot, then I admit that the distorted description of the momentary shock and the struggling scene when he was suspended by the pedal is a bit too much. Maybe I'm demanding, maybe I'm an alternative, but I thought that this kind of psychological violence would only appear in R-level (after watching it, I found that it was indeed R-level, but I was always disgusted).
Maternal love is not easy to say. The film is to a large extent an attack and criticism of the judicial system at that time (changed according to real events). Personally, I feel that the film clearly shows a violent behavior of the will of power. Including the strangulation of fairness, justice and freedom. So halfway through the film, I was reminded of the two films "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "A Clockwork Orange": The connection between the passage about JOLIE being imprisoned in the insane asylum and the former is obvious, and the description of the morbid medical behavior The expression of the meaning after that is also somewhat similar. I even felt that there was a strong imitation in this part of the film; as for the latter, when I thought of the word "morbid" from a more social perspective, I couldn't help but think of Stanley from this film. Kubrick. Of course, the so-called morbidity of this film is not as strong and obvious as "A Clockwork Orange", and its portrayal of social form and will is not as profound as the two films. After all, this film is still a relatively "pragmatic" film.
I only saw the director's name at the end of the film: it turned out to be the famous Clint Eastwood, no wonder the style of the whole film is more familiar: marching calmly like rainy weather, seemingly free but inevitably entangled by invisible silk threads, no violent eruption but a steady jump to your heart. But personally I prefer "Million Baby" and the like. Although it is more boring, it does give me more leftovers after reading it. "Changzi Suspect" should not reach the level of "Million Baby", whether it is or not Measured by OSCAR, hehe.
