The actor is good and the director is pompous

The theme of this movie is a real thing. The story itself is actually very good. There are many points of tension. However, the director's shooting methods and some ways of avoiding the importance of the light make these places that should be outstanding have a mediocre response.


One is the mother's love, the other is the father's persistence, and the other is the mother's dying. This should have been a moving highlight, but the filming is a bit inexplicable. It may be because of the movie distribution problem. The director spends most of the time on the interaction between the mother and the eldest son, so the deepest impression on me is that it
hurts and hurts. She was shy and fragile, and the yelling yeah Yalidie made me curse when this bitter scene would stop.



Let's talk about the father. He insisted on finding his eldest son and mother in the ruins. He had to go when he broke his rib. Then it was gone. The camera turned to him and got into the car. . The bedding in front was completely wasted and inexplicable. Although it was silly to find someone in the ruins after so many days, the conversion was really incomprehensible.


The mother is starring the King Kong girl, and her acting skills are really good. I couldn't help touching my calf when she was in pain, and I couldn't help but retching when she vomited. But I couldn’t help but vomit about the operation. In a few minutes, the nurse said to the child very solemnly that your mother is too weak and the leg surgery can only be done after recovery. After a while, the whole family is reunited. The nurse said that the operation was about to begin. Ha ha, within 2 hours before and after there is no such thing. Maybe it was because the legs turned black and had to start right away, but without a little transition, I couldn't help but complain. . How many people are convinced that their mothers will definitely die. . Anyway, when I watched it several times, I thought her mother should be dead.

There is also the reunion drama, those coincidences, that you are looking for me, I am looking for you, I thought I was watching a domestic romantic comedy. But that little boy is so cute, running a bit too hard. In fact, just be a little bit more, and then rely on the actor's interpretation to show more tension when we meet. The filming of this section was very unsuccessful, it took a long time, and was not expressive enough. When I finally met, a line of people behind me said fucking.


Finally, the soundtrack is exactly the rhythm of a horror movie. When the eldest son followed the nurse to find his mother, I thought I was watching a psychological suspense thriller during the underwater scenes of her mother during the operation.

The buzzing sound made me want to scold my mother. And the sudden silence, and the sudden sound is really unnecessary, it seems very exaggerated, the director may want to reflect that kind of suffocation, I personally think it is exaggerated. During the operation, my mother got up from the water, which symbolized the success of the operation, but the delayed shot I thought of the old corpse in the mountain village.


The director wants to express too many things, such as humanity, family affection, growth, desire to survive, kindness, etc., but the focus is so obvious. Many things that are full of tension have been passed through, and the process of watching the film choked and was very unhappy. The choreography is not good enough and the rhythm is too slow.


In fact, this movie also has its merits. The special effects are good, the actors are very good at acting, cry very real, and the eldest son’s growth is obscure and delicate.

Finally, I still want to say that the soundtrack is really bad.

    Henry Bennett: No. After that, when I came up, I was on my own. That was the scariest part. And when I saw the two of you clinging to the tree, I didn't feel so scared anymore. I knew I wasn't on my own. You see?
