Netflix has been aired recently. But what is surprising is that word-of-mouth has been declining since it was broadcast. As of now, the Douban score is only 6.6. Is this Netflix drama directed by talented Taiwanese director Chen Yingrong really hit the street?
Next, the editor will show you whether "Sin Dreamer" is really only worth 6.6 points.
Gang fights from the female perspective
This film is about an ordinary little character, Ah Quan. Although he is a gangster, he is honest and kind, and he is silent. Ah Quan has a happy family. His mother runs a food stall. His wife is nearing the delivery date. The brothers Xiao San and A Gui are also intimate and loyal.
In an accident, Ah Quan and his brothers were involved in a kidnapping case while performing a task assigned by the gang boss. The brothers went to jail one after another, only Agui was released. Ah Quan was sentenced to life imprisonment and lived a life in prison day after day, with no peace every day. The blood-filled face of the deceased, as well as the incomprehension of his wife and the reluctance of his mother can always be seen in his mind.
Until one day, Ah Quan received news that his son was kidnapped, and the ransom was Ah Quan himself. At this time, Ahquan was not calm, he and his former brothers reconciled inside and outside, and desperately escaped from the prison, ending the ten-year prison life.
When the people inside the wall see the people outside the wall again, everything that used to be as if it was still yesterday, and the old friendship has not diminished. At that time, everyone would gather at Ah Quan’s mother’s food stall, quarreling and chatting together. They will drive the boss's Mercedes to go on an outing and have fun.
The "Sin Dreamer" under the lens of Chen Yingrong is different from the previous gangster fights, it lacks some passionate gangster core, and more indulges in the good life. The confrontation is blurred, and there are more depictions of family, love, and friendship.
The fight in the dark is bloody and filthy, but the smile in the sun is casual and romantic, forming a sense of contrast. A whole body lived a life in the gang, but in the mother's food stall, the whole eyebrows were gentle, and there was no hostility in the battlefield. The director was also full of life in the selection of scenes.
In addition, "Sin Dreamer" feels more like a big movie. The high-profile and richly textured images use violent aesthetics to the extreme. The soundtrack of the play is always eye-catching, and in this soothing, deep or psychedelic music, you can also faintly feel the strange and profound Eastern philosophy.
's controversial and fragmented clip
Most viewers chose to give "Sin Dreamer" a low score. There are roughly two reasons: One is that Chen Yingrong chose to use a lot of violent language and swear words to portray the vulgar characters in the play. Trait, another reason is the fragmented editing of conservatism.
However, the editor believes that such a scattered and fragmented narrative is exactly the style of this play. Perhaps everyone is accustomed to the straightforward, straight-forward story, and the sudden appearance of "Sin Dreamer" is so strange that it will be somewhat confusing.
Actually, the director has such an arrangement because he has his own understanding of the story itself.
Whether in prison or after escaping from prison, Ah Quan will feel the silence of closing his eyes, but in the next second he will fall into a state of half-asleep and half-awake, like a dream, and A dream related to sin, such a fragmented editing is to create a dream state of the play. The cast of
was very successful.
has to say that the casting of several leading actors in "Sin Dreamer" is very good. Ah Quan, played by Zhang Xiaoquan, has three points of murderous look in his eyes and seven points of fierceness, which belongs to the type with few words.
Jiang Jingfang, played by Jia Jingwen, is Ah Quan’s wife. This character is the most transmissive and impactful character in the whole show.
chose to unilaterally divorce Jingfang after Ah Quan was sentenced to death. After learning the news, Jingfang, who was kind by nature, ran to the police station to tear up the divorce agreement in front of Ah Quan. The cry out of control due to emotional outbursts, through the soundproof glass, you can feel the sadness and resentment in Jia Jingwen's eyes. After
's son was kidnapped, Jingfang's gaze facing Ah Quan added the firmness of "just being a mother". Another surprising role in
play is "Big Brother's Woman" Bai Lan played by Fan Xiaoxuan. This timeFan Xiaoxuan is really beautiful and sassy. Although she has few scenes, she is a small and refined existence. Another acting school who was delayed by her singing career.
She fell in love with her elder brother's men, and only two lines in the scene that she reunited ten years later was enough to make the editor's adrenaline soar.
Maybe, finishing 8 episodes in one go is the correct way to open this show. The scattered dreams are concentrated in the mind, and there is no great enlightenment in life, but there will be a kind of epiphany and convulsion that drifts between the reality and the dream.
