An actor who can let go of acting and forget his life outside the play is the real actor
Hell refines demons, and suffering makes life
"Blind War" is an action film directed by Liu Zhaohui, with Hao Dong and Zhang Zhipeng as the chief producer, Huo Suiqiang directing, An Zhijie starring, and Yang Xing and Wang Hanyang starring, which was launched on iQiyi on May 1, 2022.
The film tells the story of the blind policeman Higashitani, in order to save his beloved daughter, single-handedly challenged the gangster family and encountered the revenge of the old enemy, thus starting a life-and-death struggle.
The director is not the big director we are familiar with, and the actor is not a household name, but this movie shocked me, and what shocked me was not its character fate and experience, but three cool points, let's take a look.
1. Acting
The very sassy place of this movie is the heroine Xena, who has a special experience, grew up in a family without affection and no humanity, and was sold by her father to the Golden Triangle drug lord as a boy scout at the age of four or five.
Since the snack has done all kinds of hardships, but also practiced a body of kung fu, this person has an outstanding appearance, a firm will, can eat the suffering that ordinary people can not eat, but she is also a fate, which is probably what people often say about the red face and thin life.
Kung Fu is outstanding, but he is sold to a trafficker by a drug lord, raped and humiliated by the trafficker boss, and then rescued by the young priest Redo, and the two go out of the court to fight the black nest of the traffickers and kill the gang leader McQueen who raped Hina.
The two are lovers, in the process of withdrawing from the court, Rido and the police Donggu were killed by a bomb, Xena was caught by the police, and since then she has hated Tsugani and vowed to avenge her husband Rido.
The film opens with Redo, Xena, and Maquin's son Zakun working together, with Rido and Xena entering the court where McQueen is being tried to rescue McQueen, and Zakun brings someone outside the courtroom to help.
However, The two of them did not really want to help Zakun save McQueen, their purpose was to avenge Xena and kill McQueen, who had insulted Xena.
The explosion they created left the court in disarray and took the opportunity to blow mcQueen to death. Wherever these two men went, they destroyed everything, both McQueen and the police were their targets, they were demons from hell, and wherever they appeared, they were devastated.
They retaliate against everything with hatred for everything, only because Xena has been treated unfairly in the world! The acting skills of these two actors are very refreshing to watch!
They completely let go of the ideological baggage brought by the role to the actor, let go of the acting, whether their role is a decent person or a villain, the actor is impeccable to the role, fully integrated into the role, the role's behavior, psychology to play, let the role shine!!!
In fact, the role and the actor are an inseparable whole, forget to integrate themselves into the role, the role is brilliant actors can be brilliant, because the actor is the carrier of the role, the actor hides himself when filming, and presents the role to the audience.
Whether the role can enter the audience's heart and take root in the audience's heart is the ability of the actor and the ability of the actor, so the actor must maintain a certain distance from the role when acting, and master the measure of the character presentation.
Such an actor is a real actor! For example, the heroine of this movie, Yang Xing, has done this, and she has established the role of Xena in the hearts of the audience!
Xena's personality is both good and evil, which is related to her experience, she has never felt the warmth of the family, and she was destroyed by McQueen during the prosperous time, so she hates the world.
Her evil eyes are beautiful and evil, she does things fiercely and leaves no room, because others have never left room for her, others are mercilessly tearing up her, such as her father, such as McQueen, so she also has to tear up the world!
When she picked up the machine gun to shoot at her opponent, she had a sense of anger in her heart, this time she would laugh with excitement, normal people think she is perverted, a murderer, but if you know what she has experienced, you will only sympathize with her.
Is Xena completely dehumanized without a little conscience? No! She herself was a demon cast from hell, but she had not forgotten what had happened to her, and in her heart she was sympathetic to the women in the demon cave who had been auctioned off, and she opened the door of the prison where they were being held and let them go.
She has faced the devil since she was a child, and her experience has prevented her from speaking softly and softly, but there is still a soft place in her violent and vicious heart, that is, she can't see other women suffering from what she has suffered!
These characters that We see of Xena are brought to us by the actor, so Yang Xing is a great actor with excellent acting skills, and I give her a full score in shaping the character of Xena!!!
Of course, the appearance time is very short, Li Zixiong, who plays the villain McQueen, is also very famous for portraying bad guys, he is an old drama bone; Lei duo, played by Zhang Yaqi, is also impressive, the appearance time is not long, but the character personality is displayed, so that the audience will never forget; The acting skills of other actors are also not bad, so I will not elaborate here.
There is a funny character in the movie, Inspector Rama, who is played by the internet celebrity Nag, who is also the only actor I am familiar with in this movie.
Because I often saw him when I brushed small videos, I didn't expect that he was now entering the show business circle. After all, he is not an acting professional, although the role is funny, but in some places the performance is slightly blunt, giving people the feeling of forcing laughter without laughter.
May only enter the show business circle, in the performance can not be mastered, but also need a period of tempering, I hope to see him shine on the screen soon, his comedic talent potential freely displayed!
2. Martial arts action
The martial arts action is handsome, refreshing, clean and neat, not dragging mud and water, and watching it is very enjoyable! Very cool! I used to enjoy watching Hong Kong action movies, and I never thought that mainland directors could shoot martial arts to such a pleasing degree.
The martial arts action has both aesthetics and does not lose the rigidity and fierceness of the martial arts itself, and I only feel refreshed when I see it! For example, there is a very classic confrontation in the movie, it is the confrontation between Xena and the Dragon King, both of whom are women, but it is very interesting to attack and defend quickly and accurately.
Both people are fierce characters, fighting to kill each other, you see their big long legs sweeping and kicking, and then the wind rises instantly, and the cold air smashes people!
There is also the male protagonist Donggu and Black King Kong to fight for a while, the male owner took the opportunity to jump out of the window, grabbed the rope three times and two times jumped away without a trace, Black King Kong ran to the window to watch around, long gone Donggu figure, quiet around, as if nothing had happened.
In the past, when we watched this kind of martial arts film, women couldn't beat things to women, couldn't beat the level, couldn't beat the strength, always felt that the actors were not good, the shooting was not good, the director was not good, the audience could not be strict with their high standards, and they only felt that their work attitude was not serious, fooling the audience.
And this movie makes us feel that the whole team that made this movie is very professional, very hardworking, and even has a feeling of not being afraid of death, for the movie they threw themselves out, regardless of this and that, the movie is everything, so how can the quality of the movie not be high?!
3. Shooting
The shooting skills of this movie are also very mature, otherwise we would not have found the confrontation action and event scenes inside very cool and shocking.
Just like Donggu took advantage of the fact that Black King Kong was not prepared, jumped out of the window to escape this scene, at this time it was shot downstairs, giving people a very thrilling feeling.
When Higashiya was about to exchange hostages, he put down his gun and put his hands behind his neck and slowly walked towards Raido, when we saw a detail, Andaya pulled a small bomb out of the back collar.
Walking up to Raido, as he slowly turned his back to Raido, he suddenly shoved the bomb into Raido's arms, Raido of course resisted, and between Higashiya and Raido, Raido asked Xena to shoot the bomb in Tōtani's hand and kill Tōdani.
Xena aimed at the trigger of the brake gun, and just at this moment, Higashitani let go of his hand, and the bomb fell into Raido's arms, and Raido was killed on the spot, and Higashitani was seriously injured and blind!
This scene is like a flowing cloud, in one go. If the shooting skills are not mature, the audience will not be able to see the process clearly, of course, they will not know what happened during the two people's tearing, and why the ending is one death and one injury.
The above are some of my own superficial views, inappropriate, please point out, thank you!
