It has been a long time since Chen Lin reviewed a movie from a comprehensive analysis perspective.
I plan to change the angle this time.
This is what it says at the beginning.
"I remember during the casting period for "The Land Is a Prison", there were rumors about Xia Yu and Yu Junhao cooperating!"
"Actually, after writing the film review for "The Prison", I also thought about it, because these two people are the young actors that I have paid most attention to in recent years. So a year ago, when I learned about Xia Yu, Yu Junhao, Dai Chengbi, Song
When I was about to collaborate with Ang for the filming, I couldn’t believe it at first!”
"Everyone probably doesn't know how difficult it is to bring two first-line actors, especially leading actors of the same generation, together. There are a lot of considerations for the script, team, and cast, and sometimes you have to sacrifice one of them.
One person serves as a match for the other!"
"Until the official news came out, my hanging heart finally returned to its original position, full of expectations!"
"Although there were a lot of disturbances during the filming process, I finally got over it."
"I am deeply moved by these two leading actors of the new generation, and I have never been shy about my love and expectations for them!"
"Sure enough, the expectation is completely worth it!"
"Actually, I watched it once during the Cannes Film Festival. This is the second time!"
"Honestly, I will watch it again this time and write a review. The concept I want to instill in everyone is that this is an excellent movie worth watching again and again and worth thinking about. I watched the movie twice and had different feelings!
"
"Then let us review this film, which was nominated for many important awards at Cannes and won the Grand Jury Prize!"
…
"A story of mutual healing——"
[The movie review contains a lot of spoilers, so it is recommended to read with caution!]
"Unlike "Jinling Festival", there are many characters worth pondering. Throughout "Cure", what needs to be pondered is not a certain person or thing, but a variety of social status quos, some objective and some historical.
The subjective dross left behind!”
"Under the reflection of these issues, are the values and world view that this film wants to convey!"
"The movie is as always, adhering to Director Dai's [Dai's film style], but it is better than "Drawing Ground" and more concise and concise. It does not make the audience guess and ponder over and over, but tells the story in a straightforward manner to bring the story closer bit by bit.
Audience view!”
“This is something worthy of praise!”
"Secondly, the story is not without its flaws. The early stages are a bit dull, which is a shortcoming of Dai's film!"
"The shooting method is different. It needs to be shot by another director. It should be shot in a completely commercial way. The early stage will not be too depressing or boring, but the later stage may not be able to be perfectly connected. This will test the director and editor's ability.
!”
"Director Dai's films are the complete opposite. They are dull in the early stage and explosive in the later stage!"
"After a ten-minute dull period, we finally reached an important point in the film, and slowly pushed away this heavy picture!"
Gu Hao
"The biggest difference between Director Dai's shooting and editing methods and others is obvious."
"When someone else shoots, the storyboard may be more crisp and clear, with big shots and big shots, but he is better at cooking over low heat and cutting meat with a knife. You don't notice it at first, but when you realize it, you have fallen into a trap. The smell of meat fills the air and makes you unable to extricate yourself.
The knife cut the flesh, and the whole body is covered with scars, which is suffocating!"
"In the middle of the film, there is a large one-shot shooting technique. This is very obvious [Director Song's style] shooting technique. It is very good to shoot documentaries and commercial films, but I don't agree with shooting literary films. Therefore, the three periods before and after
, Director Dai made changes!”
"He didn't abandon it, but he didn't completely adopt it either. Instead, he used it appropriately in the right scene. Proper use of this method directly improved the quality of the entire film. This was another reason why I was looking forward to it!"
"Returning to the film - first of all, although this looks like a double-maintenance film, it is actually Yu Junhao who voices Xia Yu!" "Let's first talk about 'Bai Xiaofei' played by Xia Yu, a native family member
A defective girl, a victim born in a feudal family, has been instilled with the idea of 'dedication' since she was sensible, but because of her sister's words, she always has a heart that wants to get rid of the shackles of her original family. Unfortunately,
She rescued herself several times, but failed once. She even became depressed and committed suicide many times."
"At this time, it was difficult for her to save herself and she needed his rescue. So, she met Chen Zimo, which was her greatest luck and greatest misfortune. The real story of the film begins with them."
"Besides, Chen Zimo is also an unfortunate victim of his native family, but he is lucky to be a boy and met Grandma Cao, but he did not ask for it with peace of mind. In addition to giving him protection, Grandma Cao relied more on himself, and he has a pure heart.
He never forgot Grandma Cao's kindness and family affection - in the end he met Bai Xiaofei, which was his greatest misfortune and greatest luck."
"The ordinary love till death and the extraordinary mutual affection between the two are so touching!"
"And another key figure, Grandma Cao, is a representative figure among countless war victims. After her husband died on the battlefield, she did not choose to remarry, but worked hard and took over the burden of supporting her husband's parents and children. But human energy is after all
Limited, a woman, because of morality and worldliness, cares about the elderly, and inevitably neglects her children - she has completed the task of "secular morality" and sent away her two elders, but the child also grew crooked, which indirectly caused her son,
The tragedy of my grandson!”
He said, "I think Mrs. Cao is the most pitiable person in the entire film. She has devoted her whole life to her parents, family, and children. Even when she was dying, she was still dedicating her last life to her adopted grandson Chen Zimo. She was worried that the cost of treatment would be too expensive.
, it’s a waste of money, it’s better to keep it for your grandchildren.”
"She has devoted her whole life and worked hard all her life. She has taken care of everyone except herself!"
"There are also some little people worth thinking about -... Director Dai did not describe them in a big way, but used some special lenses to describe the lives of these little people. They are not 'facialized', each one is vivid.
Living life!"
"This is the charm of directing!"
"The whole film "The Cure" is not all depressing and heavy. There are still many things worth pondering - 'children's problems', 'family problems', and 'those people in the basement who are desperately trying to stay alive!'"
"In the end, the film also leaves everyone with a guess and a blank space - I didn't realize until I saw Bai Xiaofei retching at the end, some details that I felt were unreasonable in the process!"
"For example, 'After Chen Zimo was discharged from the hospital, the two of them did not wear condoms!', was this something he forgot, or was it Chen Zimo's intention?"
"For example, what Bai Xiaofei said in front of Mrs. Cao's grave when she was burying Chen Zimo."
"[Grandma, Zimo and I haven't come to see you for a long time. Don't be angry. We have been too busy this year, but it doesn't matter. From now on, Zimo and I will always accompany you!"
“They are all related!”
"The last Easter egg, the meeting between Bai Xiaofei and Bai Xiaoqin sisters over ten and twenty years ago... can be said to be the highlight of the whole movie!"
"Just a reminder, everyone, don't leave in a hurry when the time comes, remember to look at the easter eggs."
[End of film review]
"But I still have a lot to say. Regarding the two viewings of the movie, I pondered several questions."
"So I wrote another article about my thoughts after watching "Healing". If you are interested, you can also read it and talk about it briefly!"
