Movie "Wasteland": To be a person, you must always believe, but you must also learn to let go

Luo Jiner said to his mother: Brother said that sometimes in the sky, two rainbows will appear at the same time.

Mom said: All day your brother said, your brother said, have your brother seen it?

Luo Jiner said: Then I don't know.

Mom said: But if it's really what your brother said, I'll believe it. To be human, always believe.

"Always believe in being a man", is the mantra of Luo's mother in the movie "The Thief of Years", many people are the same as Luo's mother, very believe in this sentence, the jungle is the same thing, the jungle is the heroine of the movie "Wasteland", played by the famous actor Ren Suxi, it is a little inaccurate to say that she is an actor, because Ren Suxi's singing level is not worse than acting skills.

The movie "Wasteland" is directed by Zuo Zhiguo, Ren Suxi, Li Chen starring female adventure movie, this is a wild survival movie, the film mainly tells the story of two brothers and sisters to find their father, ten years ago the father disappeared in the desert, and has not been heard from since.

Sister jungle and brother Cong came, in the past ten years, looking for the father countless times, the film is from a new journey to find the father, watching this film requires some patience, because the film has very, very few lines, few actors, in the 90-minute film, Li Chen's scene is only about 20 minutes, and the remaining 70 minutes are basically Ren Suxi's one-man show.

To be honest, a one-man show is very difficult to act, in the second season of "Annual Comedy Competition", all the contestants are in groups, at least in groups of two, and only one female contestant is in a group of herself, she is Li Xianxian.

Don't look at her only one person, but she performed the effect of a team, and the instructors in the audience also highly praised her.

In the same way, in "Wasteland", Ren Suxi's solo show is the top priority, don't look at her only one person, but she also performed the momentum of thousands of troops, which will not make people feel that the film is boring and boring.

"Wasteland" is not a suspense film, there is no brain-burning plot, the biggest attraction is how a woman "survives in the wilderness", although there is no brain-burning place, but there are still three places worth exploring in this film.

The first is whether the jungle has found the father or his remains?

The second is at the end, when the jungle sees a traveling party, whether this is real or her hallucination.

The third is whether the brother's voice on the walkie-talkie is real or fantastic.

Dad disappeared for ten years, where is he?

The core of the film throughout is to find the father, the jungle and the father of the bush have disappeared for ten years, and the last place that appears is this desert, so in this decade, the brother and sister have come to find it countless times.

We can say that the brother and sister are very persistent, but we can't say that they are stubborn, after all, this is their own father.

Many parents can spend their entire lives looking for their lost children, so it is not an exaggeration for children to spend ten years or more looking for their missing fathers.

Until the end of the film, the jungle did not find his father's remains, or his father's lost items, and judging from the results, this was another failed father-hunting trip.

But in the film, in fact, another answer is given.

While looking for a way out, Jungle once came across a human skeleton that had been dried, and there was a diary by his side with photos of his relatives and an ID card.

The ID card is not his father's, that is to say, it is a strange body, but in fact, the father of the jungle, like this human bone, is buried in this wasteland, buried under the desert, but unfortunately, the luck of the jungle is not good enough, she could not find her father's remains.

Almost no one in this desert can go out, if the father really went out, he would have contacted the family a long time ago, since he has not been in contact for ten years, it can only mean that he is no longer alive, and this dried corpse may be his father's colleague.

In this way, the film has already given the answer, the father of the jungle, buried in another corner, the thickness of the sand has accumulated in the past ten years, may have been buried in a deep position, maybe the jungle also understands, just don't want to believe it.

Is the tour real or fake?

At the end of the film, the jungle is in the dark, sees a traveling party, she uses her last ounce of strength, burns her clothes, attracts the attention of the travel party, and on the surface, she is rescued.

However, the real situation may not be the case, because in the description of this plot, the director used an illusory shooting technique, and in film and television dramas, there are generally illusory scenes, either the protagonist's dream or fantasy, in short, it is not a real scene.

The brother and sister of this wasteland have come many times in ten years, and they have never met anyone else, and there will be no travel groups in this kind of place.

So is the so-called travel party seen in the jungle real or false?

In fact, you don't have to worry about this problem, because whether it is true or not, it is the best arrangement for the jungle.

If it is true, then she is saved, and after this journey of life and death, she can also let go of the past and no longer have to be persistent.

If it's fake, it's also a good ending, she can be reunited with her brother and father, she has been too tired over the years, her personality is moody, she no longer has her own life, and she can't live like a normal person.

Staying in this wasteland is not necessarily the worst outcome for her.

Is my brother's voice real?

Cong Lai was seriously injured shortly after the start of the film and had to leave early, but in fact, Cong Lai's injuries were already so serious that he couldn't get out at all.

When the jungle was still awake, she saw the video left by her brother, Cong said: When you see the video, it should have been three days since you walked out, I'm sorry I lied to you, my injury, I can't last 24 hours, don't turn back, there is no point, forgive me.

At the last moment, the jungle heard his brother's voice on the intercom, in fact, this was a complete illusion, in bad weather, the jungle alone could not support going out.

This is the hallucination of the jungle, she subconsciously, hopes that her brother is still alive, but also shows that she is very guilty, she has been resenting her brother all these years, and the jungle at the beginning of the film does not give Cong a good look, always sneering at him.

Now that my brother chooses to give up his life to fulfill himself in order not to drag himself down, how can this not make the jungle feel guilty?

However, the reality is cruel, and Cong Lai burns himself to fulfill his sister's persistence.

To describe Cong Lai's behavior in one sentence, that is: those dreams that you are very adventurous, I will accompany you to madness.

Cong Lai did it, and the journey to find his father was crazy and incredible, but he stayed by his sister's side until the last moment.

Although "Wasteland" does not have many lines and does not have many actors, it seems to be just a desert adventure movie, there are many movies of this type abroad, but there are not many women as the protagonists, which is one of the characteristics of "Wasteland".

However, what "Wasteland" really wants to express and tell us is that in life, we must always believe in something, have faith, and believe that there are beautiful things in the world.

But faith is not an obsession, it should be let go when it is time to let go, and if the jungle could have been put down earlier, everything would have been different.
