Grand Prize season is a neglected bead, no matter the issue or the sense of cinema, it performs well.
"Black Water Storm" is adapted from the "New York Times" article, based on real facts. It tells that Rob Billot, a lawyer who has just become a partner of a large law firm, accepts the request of a small town farmer to investigate a large number of deaths of livestock, and traces the DuPont company's long-term discharge of chemical substances, causing irreversible environmental pollution and serious harm The health of local residents and even global consumers. Rob threw his life into this lawsuit, and the road ahead was more difficult than he thought. How can
use one person to bring down the "too big to fail" U.S. landmark super-large company? Xiao Xiami's setting of big whales is always dramatic, but it is also easy to fall into the banal narrative. But "Blackwater Storm" directed by Todd Haynes is reminiscent of Stephen Soderberg's "Never Compromise", they are both A bloody story that makes people share the same hatred, but the author can arrange the social events that can be seen everywhere at first glance, and make a good and unique aspect.
Haynes has been creating for many years to convey the observation and anxiety of people in various contemporary encounters, and he is good at expressing people's inner state with both traditional and innovative film language.
He has had works such as "Safe and Safe" and "Poison" since his early years. "Poison" in his hands has a temperament ranging from aggression to paralysis to erosion and destruction. The "poisoning" of "Black Water Storm" first was DuPont's chemical emissions, but gradually, it became an image of the disability of the town, the people, and the entire society. Although it is a realistic topic, it is difficult for us to stand on the sidelines, but is captured by the pervasive and comprehensive sense of horror.
"Hulk" Mark Ruffalo plays the lawyer who invested the best of his life for 16 years in this investigation. His loneliness, confusion, and even the almost collapse of paranoia or delusion later prompted another kind of "poisoning." Low-key and solid acting skills are not just a role, but a state of existence.
