Some critics believe that "The Silent Hill" is the number one movie classic in Taiwan.
Director Wang Tong dedicated an epic to Taiwan to the height that a movie can reach.
The hill is speechless, but it bears witness to the suffering of Taiwanese.
What kind of hill is this, and what kind of story is happening in the hill?
During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese came to Taiwan to open gold mines. Gold is a symbol of desire, and a gold mine is a place to realize desire. In the field of gold mines, the extravagant and desperate miners and the humble miners form the polarities of class opposition, and the greedy and shameless brothel madams and the tortured prostitutes constitute the polarities of abuse and abuse. And among the people at the bottom of the gold mine, there are vendors selling yellow toys, prostitutes selling laughs in brothels, and prostitutes pulling a bunch of children to pick up customers at home. Because the gold mine is a gathering place for men, they have strong bodies and strong sexual desires. Therefore, there are so many "industry" and related "industrial workers" to satisfy the sexual desires of various people.
The conflict between the colonizer and the colonized, the conflict between the oppressor and the oppressed, the conflict between the spirit and the flesh, the conflict between morality and survival, are here to entangle, fight, compromise, and escape.
Brothers Azhu and Aqi are poor peasant children. Because he couldn't afford the funeral expenses of his parents, he had to sign an unreasonable long-term work contract with the landlord. They heard that there is a gold mine in Jinguashi. Many people took advantage of the night to run away because of their wealth. After arriving at the mine, they rented in the hut of the widow Arou. A Rou was a woman with a miserable fate. In the past few years, her two husbands who were miners died one after another. Therefore, A Rou was pointed out by people around her, saying that she was "Kef". Due to the large number of children, Arou was unable to raise her, and was forced to work as a prostitute to earn money. The upright and kind-hearted Aqi began to look down on A Rou, but after a long time she discovered that A Rou was a kind and tough woman, so she developed a feeling of admiration for her. Azhu also had a good impression of Arou, and he used the practical actions of helping Arou to do the dirty work to show his feelings. A Rou finally accepted the simple and honest Azhu, and Azhu became A Rou's third miner's "husband". The other lovers in the
film are Fumiko and Hongmu who work in a brothel. Fumiko is a Japanese woman from Hokkaido. But in the brothel, she is as humble as the prostitutes.
Two love clues develop side by side, but the result is both tragedy. Azhu was killed for participating in a miner riot. Hongmu was sentenced to death for killing a Japanese mine owner. As a result, Arou became the widow of "Koff" for the third time. Fumiko became a prostitute under the majestic power of the old bustard.
Faced with all these human tragedies, the hill is still silent and speechless.
The whole film begins with a continuous silent hill, and ends with a continuous silent hill. Between gradually entering and fading out, a song of Taiwanese sadness came to an abrupt end.
, as the director of this huge and huge system, Wang Tong has brought his genius in the fields of picture, color, sound, and rhythm to the fullest.
This is an exquisite work that deserves to be frozen in the frame of every lens.
Wang Tong is an art artist, and he is responsible for the beauty of "The Silent Hill". The first-class writer Wu Nianzhen has made the details of this film full and full of tension with his excellent screenwriting ability.
How to express the sharp conflict between the oppressor and the oppressed? There are shocking scenes in Wu Nianzhen's script.
In order to prevent someone from leaving the mine with private gold, supervisors set up guards at the entrance of the mine to search. In order to smuggle the gold out of the mine, the brothel owner came up with a genius way to let the prostitutes hide the gold. As a result, this method was discovered by the supervisor. The Japanese boss was so furious that he rushed into the brothel and searched one by one. Although Fumiko cried loudly that she was just a handyman, the searcher still penetrated the criminal hand into Fumiko's genitals. After a few screams, a glove covered with blood appeared in front of the audience-Fumiko was still just a virgin.
A pure girl has lost her chastity under such cruel atrocities.
Even though the dripping blood proved everything, the Japanese mine owner still regarded it silently, and he even played a melodious western record in the rainy night.
Cruelty and poetry are so gathered in a Japanese mine owner-this is a demon who sings a beautiful poem!
How to show the patience of a poor woman with three degrees of "Koff"? In the film, every time Arou picks up a customer, he hides the meager income he gets in a long bamboo tube. At first, Arou thought he could have a stable life with his third "husband" Azhu, but Azhu's tragic death made Arou's dream shattered. Suffering from a severe mental injury, Arou was so painful that she struggling to split the bamboo tube with a knife, and the coins and banknotes were scattered all over the place. It turned out that this poor woman has been quietly saving for her future life, but now, these hard-earned money has lost the meaning of supporting a stable life.
All these make people feel heavy, but at the same time, they can really feel-this is the quality and weight of excellent film art.
Rolling hills, winding paths. The mountains are blooming in the near scene, and the sea is blue in the distant scene. A low stone wall divides the sea and the sky. Under the low wall, the girl Fumiko hummed a Japanese folk song. So low, so melancholy. The hill of
saw all the good and all the evil. But it is so cruel that it has never said a word since ancient times.
