"Widows League" US-UK co-production film 2018
The director of the film is very good. It is Steve McQueen, the director of "Twelve Years as a Slave". This blockbuster director in Cannes, after shooting two independently produced British films, made a leap into Hollywood with a black slave theme. Reached the pinnacle of Oscars. This play is still in the middle of the standard in terms of film director skills. The lens processing, music, and rhythm are all catching, highly appreciative, and exciting. But the shortcoming of this play is also that there is too much to say about politics, society, race, the gap between rich and poor; the relationship between the underworld and religion, the darkness of pseudo-democratic elections, etc. The result is a scattered view. The theme: the theme of the rise of women was originally obvious , There is little discussion about the women themselves, and the four heroines are not clear enough. We don't know anything about their mentality except for their previous careers. We don't know what personality they had before, what they liked, and what they pursued. So the depiction is superficial, weak in thinking, and not very deep! Furthermore, what was the motive of the mastermind's husband planning this Jin Chan's escape? It does not seem to be strong enough to be credible.
So the dilemma that the two can't take care of has affected the audience's resonance.
