First of all, the storyline of this movie is not complicated. It is an unsuccessful lone and absenteeism seeking his son, but by chance, he ran into the illegal hook of the mine owner and the lawyer. It’s rather sad that until the end of the film, the miner played by Song Yang failed to find his son. The music, scene switching, and camera movement of the whole film are perfect for me. This technique works well. It’s what made me feel more and more substituting in this film, so that when I walk out of the theater, my steps are always floating. My mind is full of the uninterrupted and exposed mine slopes of Inner Mongolia, and what happened in this mine that has not been scattered for a long time. In the story.
But the only downside is that the film finally uses the child's perspective to tell the truth, and the righteous subtitles are purely a last resort for the trial, which is inevitably superfluous. Zhang Baomin, played by Song Yang, didn't even have a single line. Zhang Baomin, who lives at the bottom of the society, was injured in a fight with others in his early years. Since then, he has been reluctant to speak. His silence comes from his own weakness and the invisible oppression of the middle and upper classes, so he is cautious everywhere, and Chang Wannian’s silence, more It is the shelter from power and money, so that he does not need to talk nonsense, and a single order can solve a life. There are several hints and foreshadowings in the film
. I want to come to the director to present a compact story development plot after countless thoughts and arrangements, under the switch of script and shots. The director wants to express many things, and the means of expression are subtle and meaningful. Every detail in every scene in the play has its life and purpose. This also gives many viewers the feeling of "thinking about the extreme" after recalling it. The movie’s perspective changes, the most impressive thing is to give the villain’s car a gradual long shot, and then pull it to the side of the hillside blocked by the bunker, and the male protagonist comes out of the bunker. The props are used in the scene, the use of props, and many similar scenes. For example, in the use of glasses, attorney Xu took off the glasses to tell the truth, but put on the glasses and told lies, prop language, hypocrisy, and disguise.
The shots in the film, the mountains in the long shots, give the shots to a large and still picture, and the shots advance into the long and deep picture, creating a depressive atmosphere. In addition, the plot is full in the early stage, suspenseful points, character relationships and story background. In the middle and late stages, the plot is loose and serious. The ending part is a bit rushed. It is better to solve the suspenseful point of who killed the boy. In fact, when it comes to the movie, a little bit later in the middle half, when the hero is holding the arrow in the car, I already feel that it is him, but I don't know what the motive is.
In addition, every role in the film is also necessary. Miner Zhang Baomin, wife, son Zhang Lei, mine owner Chang Wannian, lawyer Xu Wenjie, butcher Ding Hai, butcher son, informant village head and Chang Wannian’s subordinates, you I don't think which role is redundant. The director's exploration of the character's psychology is very deep. The film shows the multi-level human nature of different classes of people under the interests, injustice, resistance, and helplessness.
Finally, there is a detail in the whole movie. From the beginning to the end, Zhang Baomin and his family did not communicate with the police, nor did they find their son through the police. They would rather ask the drivers passing by with their photos, post them on the wall with the notices, and distribute them on the street, and they would not call the police if they asked God. This not only makes people reflect: whether they have become accustomed to asking for help is useless, no one cares about the disappearance of a miner's day. Zhang Baomin can only rely on his own strength.
