A total of seven movies were released during the Spring Festival this year, and fortunately, several movies have different styles and types, and they all have their own casts and different audiences, and for fans, watching more will not be aesthetic fatigue.
However, before the official release, it was found that some netizens gave "Nameless" a one-star bad review on Douban and Weibo, and this phenomenon continued after the movie was released.
But if you think about it a little, you will find that this is a black fan maliciously playing a star. Randomly flipped to Douban's two one-star bad reviews, the time is very close, both at noon on January 22, really finished watching the movie so early? "There are no subtitles in Shanghainese and Japanese" is a complete rumor.
In fact, because of the disgust of the starring role, it is not uncommon for black fans to make bad reviews, but the situation of "Nameless" is particularly serious. Take a closer look at these messages to see that this is a fan of a certain traffic frantically typing bad reviews. For this gang of internal entertainment tumors, my point of view is Jackie Chan's big brother's words: see when you finish.
Putting aside these crazy fans, after watching "Nameless", I have a deep feeling:
As long as you don't look down at your phone, this is a very good movie. And, the more you look at the details, the more you look. Two brushes and three brushes will make new discoveries!
So, the question is: what's so good about "Nameless"?
As the trailer shows, "Nameless" is a "super commercial" film. Director Cheng Er once said that this was a joke he made, and I didn't take it seriously at first, but after watching the movie and understanding some of the behind-the-scenes production, I understood that "Nameless" is indeed worthy of this title.
First of all, "Nameless" is much larger than the investment of ordinary commercial films. It can be seen that there are hundreds of people in the film setting department alone, and the director did not choose the existing film and television city to shoot, and the film was built little by little from Director He's office to the streets Ye walked in Hong Kong in order to present the real texture.
Can't see, "Nameless" with the world's top Alai 65 camera shooting, this camera only rent but not sell, a set of equipment a day rent up to 10,000 US dollars, so it has almost become synonymous with commercial blockbusters, before the "Avengers" series used this camera, the same schedule only "The Wandering Earth" used this camera, shooting four months of "Nameless", this part of the investment is high.
Secondly, director Cheng Er shot very "willful". He likes to use long lenses and fixed cameras, the number of movie shots is not much compared to other commercial films, "Nameless" was filmed for 4 months, all because Cheng Er has been improving the details. A while ago, Dapeng revealed at the live broadcast event that he and Mori Hiroyuki's dinner scene had not been filmed for a long time, and finally knew that it was to wait for the cushion flown in by Japan, and the cushion in the movie had no close-up at all. The film shot in this way is full of high-end sense from beginning to end, every detail is important, every frame is exquisite, and few commercial films can compare with it.
There is also a luxurious creative lineup. In terms of actors, Tony Leung, who has not been seen on the big screen for more than four years, Wang Yibo, who appeared on the big screen for the first time, as well as Zhou Xun, Huang Lei, Dapeng, Wang Chuanjun, Jiang Shuying... It's a fantastic lineup; The behind-the-scenes team with Cheng Er as the core are also leaders in their respective fields, so I will not repeat them here.
With these, "Nameless" is enough to become the best in any schedule, but Cheng Er also wants to give the film more and achieve new attempts and explorations.
Unlike his previous works, Nameless has a very commercial and attractive story. The film focuses on Shanghai on the eve of the end of the Anti-Japanese War, all forces are entrenched, under the calm is a life and death contest, the central special branch carefully moves between Chongqing, Wang pseudo, and Japanese spy agencies, walking on the tip of the knife, the movie always pulls the suspense full, look at the synopsis to know that there is a central special branch, but never guess who is, and the final reversal of the film makes people can't help but applaud, admire the exquisite conception and solid script, this is indeed a very good spy war movie.
But Cheng Er stubbornly insisted on himself, he was not willing to follow the trend and use the routine of conventional commercial films, he wanted both business and art.
As a result, contradictions and oppositions are seen everywhere in "Nameless":
The exquisite composition and mirror movement, the mesmerizing artistic expression, and Cheng Er's very tonal personal style all release a strong artistry; But at the same time, there are exciting commercial expressions, such as the dramatic fate of the Japanese soldier with a background, the saber rattling at the dinner table, and Wang Yibo's contribution to two action scenes that make people clench their fists and gasp.
There is also the opposition of atmosphere and color, the exterior of "Nameless" is bright and light, but the interior is calm and slightly depressed, and the delicate director will even use a drop of red blood on his sleeve to strengthen the atmosphere and the inner heart of the characters. When I saw the end, I realized that the contradiction and opposition I thought were actually magnifying the two sides and bringing a more extreme look. In this way, Cheng Er achieved a win-win situation between art and business, and "Nameless" is both pleasing and pleasing to the eye.
Considering that many people have not yet seen the movie, let's not talk about the plot. "Nameless" has a very charming editing, breaking the conventional narrative structure, breaking time and space, and constructing multiple labyrinths such as plot, logic, characters, and fate, which makes people trapped in it, so that when the film ends, it feels like the story has just begun, and it is difficult to describe this look.
So, don't misunderstand "Nameless" because of the behavior of crazy fans, whether it is good or bad, go to the theater to see it, and in my opinion, this is really a good movie worth brushing!
