This kind of film makes it difficult for the audience to find emotional projections, and it is difficult for the audience to feel that their souls are soothed by chicken soup, especially in China, which has produced many educational films. Only with the galaxy image of the bear heart and leopard daring to shoot a purely narrative drug war, and investors are still undecided or even unable to analyze the 100 million box office representing the audience accepting this kind of movie or accepting the name Johnnie To.
So that this film was abandoned by major professional film awards on the grounds of facial makeup in various professional film awards. But in the same year, Oscar, a film that also focused on events and met the standards of character masking, escaped from Tehran and won the Oscar. And this year, Captain Phillips, who simply talked about the hijacking of the captain of an American merchant ship, was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.
This is simply to hit the face of the Chinese film industry who is keen on grand narrative research and complicated humanity education and ignorant audiences, and it hits piapia. The humanities directors of the Chinese film industry have thought of everything. Before each film is produced, how to make the characters plump, how to sublimate the theme, and how to make a spectacle come out. The only thing that is not well done is the original proposition of the film and return to the scene.
It can neither cut out the tense rhythm of escaping Tehran nor shake the sense of suffocating space of Captain Phillips. This kind of script has fallen into the Chinese film and art world. It must be a copy of the American salvation model. First, let the captain have an extramarital affairs with three wives and four concubines before arranging them. Let’s say a beautiful mate, Huang Bo, and the second mate. There must be intrigue, and the villain will become good. Of course, since it is at sea, the stormy waves must be indispensable. The three-d miraculous effect, the warship breaking through the waves is the key point, and it must be a wonderful work in the end. The chaotic love ethics visual department comes out.
Finally, let’s talk about this Captain Phillips, who fortunately did not fall into the Chinese film and art world, although he is not a five-star film, because he did not restrain Hanks’ acting skills and allowed him to act as a one-man show. However, he successfully restrained other factors and his own ambitions, devoted all his energy to on-site restoration, focused on ensuring the integrity of the audience's event experience, and achieving the uniqueness of the film itself.
