But unexpectedly, this piece of "bone" made me pursue it with great interest, and tasted a very rare delicacy with relish. First of all, the director adopts the shooting method of portable photography, and the main characters in the film are also using DV and miniature cameras to record the original real scene of the crime, which is constantly narrowing the distance between the audience and the film, which effectively enhances the sense of scene. I was amazed by the realism of several scenes.
Secondly, the director deliberately reduced the dramatic plot to the lowest point, transforming the exciting, high-profile, and heroic police behavior expected by the audience into a trivial, routine, and boring piece from the subjective perspective of the two protagonists. Work. The whole movie does not have a coherent "story". What we see is nothing more than the tasks that the police need to deal with during their daily patrols, and gradually we feel the same. All emergencies seem to me to be totally "accidents", even the scene where the policeman is killed at the end. Because I know very well, the average person at work every day, who would have expected what kind of problems you would face? But what the police encounter is likely to be a matter of life and death.
This way of expression can make me feel the value of the police as a real "person", rather than those hot and exciting scenes of blindly charging into battle, gun battles, and invulnerability.
