Ren Suxi's new film, there is only 1 scene, 2 actors, how to innovate the theme is brilliant

Ren Suxi picked the big beam and premiered the domestic women's adventure theme "Wasteland", which currently has a cumulative box office of only 1.6 million, and the total box office is predicted to be only 3 million. The film focuses on survival in the wild, counting Li Chen, the big bull of some scenes, there are only two actors who really participate, and the others are negligible, and the only role seems to be only the "jungle" played by Ren Suxi singing a solo show.

"Wasteland" is an experimental work that strives to open up a new form of adventure genre in Chinese films, shooting scenes based on the natural landscape of Dunhuang and hand-held cameras into one film.

Ren Suxi adheres to the spirit of "pioneering" and participates in it, and interprets the cruelty of nature through performances.

In this movie, 80% of the length is Ren Suxi facing the camera alone, so, can one person support the plot? Can one person bring enough shock to a movie?

Similar to the theme of "Wasteland", as early as 2011, there was a "127 Hours" starring Danny Ball

is also a character, a desperate situation, but this work won the Oscar for Best Picture that year.

What "Wasteland" and "127 Hours" have in common is that they both venture to survive alone, and the biggest difference is the scene and encounter.

The jungle (played by Ren Suxi) survives in the vast desert of no man's land, while Alan Roston survives in a small space in the mountain valley, the jungle in order to find the traces of his father who has been missing for ten years, driven by an obsession with family affection, but Allen is completely out of character defects, maverick leads to indifference to family affection, and then evolves into a tragedy.

It can be said that although the two people have exactly opposite goals, they face the same degree of difficulty and danger.

Jungle and Arun have no rivalry in the film, and the only thing that can be called an opponent is to face the harsh environment of nature, and even play a game with his own heart.

Brother Cong Lai (played by Li Chen) is looking for his father's long-cherished wish for the jungle, and the brothers and sisters each drive a motocross bike and go on a desert no-man's land expedition.

Unexpectedly, soon after, a sudden sandstorm shattered the ideal. Cong Lai was seriously injured, his ribs were broken and he was unable to ride, and his motorcycle was badly damaged and unable to ride, and the jungle was protected by his brother unscathed, but he had to face the harsh reality of challenging the no-man's land on foot alone.

What was originally a journey to find his father turned into self-help in an instant, and the jungle not only had to challenge the wasteland alone and face a severe test of survival, but also shouldered the task of saving his brother.

Hiked 120 kilometers in four days, with a surface temperature of 63°.

Drinking water and energy are supplemented by natural distilled water and the extraction of plant sap, as well as many unknown and uncontrollable external threats, such as wolf disturbances, sudden drops in nighttime temperatures, and sudden appearance of eerie whirlwinds and ghost shadows.

In the end, the scarred jungle used the limited knowledge of survival in the wild to get out of the predicament. The ending of the movie is open-ended, as for whether the brother Cong came to be rescued, it is no longer meaningful, because after his sister set out, he was already dead, and the conversation between the jungle and his brother was all caused by hallucinations, and it was also the greatest aid to redeem her soul.

If a person's spiritual world collapses, then this person is tantamount to the "walking dead", and the jungle finally finds itself, and after suffering and spiritual baptism, the attitude and cognition of life can be sublimated.

Let's take a look at Arun in "127 Hours".

To say that the jungle was to find his father, took his brother's life, and finally risked himself, then Alan was properly "self-inflicted", and miraculously he changed the law of "unliving", and after losing an arm, he also completed a self-redemption from spirit to body.

Arun has always been very indifferent to family affection, never disdained to contact his mother and sister, and even doing high-risk sports such as outdoor adventures is a loner, no one knows where he has gone or when he will return.

I often walk by the river, where there are not wet shoes.

This time, Arun was unfortunately in a desperate situation - during a wild rock climb, he was unfortunately crushed by a falling boulder and got stuck in the rock crevice of the canyon.

In this no-man's land, it is impossible for anyone to pass by, all communication has failed, the real call is heaven should not be, the earth is not working, how to save yourself in a desperate situation?

After staying up for a few days, Arun cut his arm with a knife, climbed out of the stone gap with one arm, descended to the bottom of a 60-foot-deep valley with one arm, and after finding water to replenish water, he crossed several kilometers with difficulty and escaped from Ascension.

Brothers are like brothers, Arun lost an arm, and the jungle lost his brother, there is not much comparison in nature, but in the sense of theory and caution, but there is something in common.

It is all the consequences of obsession and stubbornness, and it is the stubborn character that produces a strong self-help ability. There is a conflict between the two and there is an inevitable connection, the shortcomings may also be a person's advantages, if used correctly, it is invincible, and if it is used in the wrong place, it is a disaster, there is no contradiction, only cause and effect.

Arun cut himself off and learned a hard lesson, and the whole process was a dialogue between himself and his own heart.

If everything starts again, he will definitely tell his family his whereabouts in advance, just one sentence will avoid big trouble, no matter how strong a person is, he will be small in the face of nature after all.

After losing his father, Jungle lost his brother again.

Because I don't want to lose but lose more, the starting point is good, but the result can't help but sigh.

In the same way as Arun's experience, sometimes, we must respect the laws of nature, this is not compromise and cowardice, but a correct self-knowledge and attitude.

"127 Hours" is actually much more difficult to survive than "The Wasteland", after Allen got out of trouble, after all, he could still find passers-by before losing too much blood, and the jungle faced a complete desperate situation, even a double desperate situation of spirit and body.

And Ren Suxi's performance in "Wasteland" truly restores the hardships of surviving in no man's land, and from the perspective of artistic appreciation, although the film is highly experimental, it is also worth watching.
