The texture of the film "Extremely Cold City" is very good, the photography is quite painstaking, the composition and lighting are remarkable, and the director's pursuit can be seen in terms of vision; The story actually belongs to the more old-school about promise and revenge, the group drama is still relatively three-dimensional, and the performances of the actors with familiar faces are very good. The theme always reminds me of "young chivalry, intersecting five duxiongs, liver and gallbladder holes, hair shrugging, standing talk, death and life, a promise of gold!" "Anyway, I like it.
The background of the film is locked in Bincheng, northeast China, after the surrender of the Japanese army in the thirty-fourth year of the Republic of China (1945). During this period, Bincheng fell into an unmanaged vacuum, and the black forces were rampant. Uncle Kui, Li Huan, Lao Gou, Zhong Zhen, Lao Gui and many other characters appeared. In the dark and materialistic old era, an epic saga about keeping promises and sacrificing one's life has also begun...
This is a criminal revenge spy war film based on the old northeast, with a sharp, tyrannical, and sharp style is very distinct, and the scenery, art, and service road all create a sense of atmosphere of slaughter in the northeast winter. The northeast, shrouded in ice and snow and haze, the black-and-white aesthetic first-class picture, the human heart on the verge of collapse, the overall level can be benchmarked against "Above the Cliff". Many forces took turns to compete, almost all of them were evil, and they couldn't help but lead to the end of total destruction, and two-thirds were good shows. Some plots may be polished, such as the line of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper only adds a friend to the male protagonist, but this friend does not substantially help the male protagonist's actions. The end can also be more crisp, and the train leaves the "extremely cold city" with the roar of the snow.
Shi from Hunan Qifa Culture Media Co., Ltd. wrote in his commentary that the oriental aesthetics of the film are reflected in every frame: exquisite photography, brilliant actors. Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger Sword World, ice and snow, black and white rivers and lakes. The wicked are rampant, and the world is cowardly. The hero endures in his heart, and the waste swaggers through the market. Business is only about losing money, and revenge whether you win or lose. Matches are doomed to burn hands, and improper positions are doomed to hurt the body. You are like bright red meat on the board, I am the hot fire in the firewood. The night of the blizzard spilled a warm blood, and the extremely cold city left a deep affection.
The tone of the white mountain and black water of the movie is extremely cold, and the calm and solemn tone of the film outlines the era of chaotic red dust; The locomotive full of mechanical texture in the industrial era was wrapped in snowflakes; The scenes of gunfight and fight are real and intense, and the rendering of emotions and atmosphere is full of shock and oppression, forming a force that penetrates the picture. A group of powerful actors are very full of performance tension, under the heavy snow, full of blood, full of pathos and romance! The movie is a wonderful script kill, although the background is that era, but it also corresponds to this era, and no one can be left alone.
From the perspective of a lone killer, the film competes with various forces in the investigation of a case of extermination many years ago, and thus shows the various human nature in the special era. The gunfight and action scenes are beautifully shot, and the audiovisual director is also very thoughtful, the endless snowfall, and the main colors of black, white and gray are full of formal beauty. I really like the last scene under the train window, Wen Xiu in the car anxiously explores Gu Nian's figure, Gu Nian and the old noble fight to the death under the window, sad music sounds, the snow is falling heavier, everything that happened in Bincheng tonight will eventually be buried by the snow, and the next day everything will return to the same as before, as if nothing had happened...
This film can be counted as a "men's gladiatorial arena", with male hormones bursting. Watch a group of old drama bones play together, and the thief is addicted. The protagonist Gu Nian's portrayal is flesh and blood, remarkable, a brave, loyal and enthusiastic good man, just because he was entrusted by his best friend before his death, he sacrificed his life to fight, and fulfilled his promise with his passion. Just like the advertising copy written by Hunan Qifa Culture Teacher Wang before: a passion spreads thousands of miles, such a person is worthy of respect in the past and now. I especially like the title of "Extremely Cold City", which refers not only to physical temperature, but also to the various tribulations experienced by all living beings in the turbulent years of those years.
