Hoh Xil - This film brings me a kind of unspoken pain. Humans deal with the murder of Tibetan antelope for money, destroy the ecological environment for personal privacy, and kill other people's lives due to the struggle for rights. I slowly began to not understand why this kind of person regards money and power as more important than a person's life. It can be said that every scene in this film left a deep impression on me. On the way to help his teammates, Liu Dong fell into a hole in the desert, a small hole. At first, he was still struggling desperately, struggling, but in the later stage he gave up, An Ran. Accepting the reality of his imminent death, his body was slowly swept into it by the sand. Next to it are the supplies he brought to the team members during this journey. Life is so fragile above Hoh Xil, and human beings are so insignificant in nature. There are also hunters who kill Tibetan antelopes. Faced with the pursuit of the inspection team, they can shoot and kill a person mercilessly, as if the person is not a human being, but just an animal. This film tells me how lucky and happy it is to live on the plains right now, without pulmonary edema above the plateau, without death due to hypoxia caused by desperately chasing a person. Everything is so comfortable and everything is so peaceful. The only thing trapping us in real life is ourselves. That's what it means to be a cocoon.

    Putting aside the suspicion of plagiarism, kitsch, and occupying the moral high ground, the quality of the film itself is not a problem. Biased towards a pseudo-documentary style of realism, avoiding deliberate sensationalism or dramatic rendering. Great photography, great acting. The passage of quicksand carries suffocating despair and silent fear; fresh bones of Tibetan antelope everywhere; starry sky. | Here, every footprint you leave may be the first footprint left by a human being. (8.5/10)

    Lu Chuan's gun search didn't feel like it before, but this Hoh Xil should pay tribute to him
