With a crisp "pop", Mr. Ho (played by Tony Leung) gently knocked his leather shoes on the ground.

The story starts at the beginning.

After a few long dialogues, the film enters a fast and tight narrative rhythm.

The whole film is full of tense and slaughtering, and the oppressive atmosphere of mountain rain is about to come, which makes people immersive.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Shanghai was occupied by the Japanese army.

In order to facilitate its rule, Japan supported the Wang puppet regime and established secret services to maintain order.

Mr. Ho is the head of the organization and holds a key position.

Mr. Zhang gave all the information he knew, took out confidential materials, and finally, Mr. Zhang took out a gun.

This gun is not Mr. Zhang's.

Mr. He was stunned at first, then smiled, and then continued to ask questions.

This five-minute dialogue, almost without any nonsense, explains the story background of the movie.

When the camera turned, Mr. He was eating in the restaurant, his expression was calm, and it seemed that nothing had happened.

The next second, he noticed a little more blood on the sleeve of his clothes.

He wiped it with a handkerchief, but it became more and more obvious...

In the room, what really happened?

What exactly did Mr. He and Mr. Zhang say, who has the upper hand, who is decent and who is the villain?

And, everyone wants to know, what happened after Mr. Zhang took out the gun?

These puzzles are present throughout until the end, when the answer is officially revealed.

Although we don't know everyone's name or their specific work until the end, everyone seems to have several identities and are related to each other.

The timeline jumps back and forth, the story is constantly reversed, the plot is constantly subverting your prejudgment, even if you see the ending, it seems that there is still the possibility of reversing.

The protagonists are all online, the texture of Tony Leung's performance, Wang Yibo's handsomeness, and Zhou Xun's freehand aura are all impressive.

It is recognized by the industry that his films not only retain the ornamentation of commercial films, but also lose the timelessness of literary and artistic films.

"Nameless" is Cheng Er's blockbuster work seven years after polishing, with unique aesthetic taste, unimaginable photographic composition, tension-filled eye contact, and those familiar procedural aesthetics, all of which are eye-catching.

In the movie, light and shadow are intertwined, the picture alternates between cold and warm, and the change in expressing the inner emotions of the characters is just right.

At the end of the story, from darkness to light.

There are not many battles, but people hold their breath deeply...

The composition of the film is highly symmetrical, and the level of photography is extremely high, which is unforgettable.

"Nameless" takes place in Shanghai, and the film makes extensive use of local real scenes.

Tilanqiao Prison, Western-style houses hidden by sycamores, Japanese-style old li from the island period, etc., are all live-action shoots.

Here is Cheng Er's special affection for Shanghai, he was assigned to Shanghai Film Studio after graduation, and he did it for nine years.

He is familiar with Shanghai's cultural customs and history, and he shoots a few shots at will, which is a landscape.

The editing of the film is also very advanced, with the circular timeline of 1938, 1941, 1944, 1945 switching back and forth, and finally forming a closed loop in Hong Kong.

The characters wander in the clash of light and dark, and all sides wrestle, making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe.

Some netizens commented, "Cheng Er's narrative is full of connotation and imagination, and no one can determine the character's hole card and fate until the last minute."

And Cheng Er just likes complex narrative structures, "The structure has its own charm, which is one of the core of the film itself." Film is a huge and complex system, this system is established through the director's narrative and the audience's reception, if this system the audience can understand, I will be very happy. ”

This multiple narrative method is conducive to paving the suspense plot, constantly delaying the mystery, creating layers of fog, and will render the suspense atmosphere more.

However, such a narrative structure is not well played, and it is easy to leave the audience with a mysterious impression and screw up the word of mouth.

Cheng Er has always been sober about this, he said, "Fully respect the audience, do not underestimate the aesthetics of the audience".

"Nameless" has put a lot of effort into setting up suspense and detailed description.

Multiple timelines alternate narratives, scene blanks fill in details through character dialogue, and the clues finally converge on Mr. Ho himself.

It has done a lot of foreshadowing in the details of the lines, the key shots are very informative, the story logic is self-consistent, and the rigor can withstand scrutiny.

Because the film has limited time, the audience needs to pay attention to various details, and the meaning of some shots may have to be brushed twice or three times to understand the director's painstaking efforts.

It's like a giant jigsaw puzzle, you have to pay attention to all the details left by the questioner, find the key clues in the intricate information, and use your own judgment to piece out the whole picture.

A good suspense movie respects the audience's aesthetics and intelligence, but also leaves the audience with a challenge, and experiences a two-hour intellectual challenge to get an unforgettable movie-watching experience.

At the end of the movie, Tony Leung and Wang Yibo had a wonderful fight, fists to the flesh, life and death are on the line.

The two of them did not show mercy, a few hours ago they were colleagues at the top and subordinates, and now they have to kill their opponents...

"Nameless" has the texture of a literary film, as well as the refreshing feeling of a commercial film, no wonder the film party will add the word "super commercial film" when promoting it.

Let the audience watch cool, but also enjoyable, experienced a rare puzzle puzzle game, not only improve taste, but also enjoy beauty.

This is exactly what Cheng Er has always wanted to do, "more commercial than business, more artistic than art, is a film ideal that can be fought for".

Because of this, "Nameless" started as a dark horse and won the audience with word of mouth, which is worth leaving a strong name in this Spring Festival stall.

It is precisely because of this that it is the most worthy movie of this Spring Festival file, because it is worth it!
