"Burning Winter" don't spoil literary films, that is their last fig leaf

After watching "Burning Winter", I was confused about the characters and stories in the film, but I had a general impression of director Chen Zheyi.

Fragmented, diseaseless moaning, bullhead does not set the ponytail character, no logic and no driving emotional clues.

That's right, self-righteous literary and artistic youths make movies like this.

The first three acts are quite simple and refreshing, Nana (played by Zhou Dongyu) is the tour guide of the Yanji activity, the attitude is cold and hot, the mood is high and low, and the main one is inexplicable.

Haofeng is dressed in a black coat, gold-rimmed glasses, and a small mustache, the whole process looks bleak, the main is a high cold and cool, but can instantly attract the tour guide Nana, and even drunk dragged to bed, who called him Liu Haoran?

Several sets of broken cuts reveal the exhaustion behind Nana's enthusiasm, and Haofeng always has a cold sense of alienation in the crowd.

Standing at the top of the stairs, watching the snow fall down, the footboard sticking out several times and retracting again. Then I received a return call from the psychological counseling.

It seems to be depressed.

But Brother Haoran, depression is by no means as simple as sighing, closing your eyes, and frowning? That's a complex mental illness, I'm afraid you haven't really experienced it, right?

No way, Nana is good at this mouthful, as a tour guide, she does not pay attention to the sales of the docking store, does not look for the share of renting clothes, and runs to care about a dumbfounded young man. Have you already seen the watch on his wrist? Or do you think he has a strange bone, or is he just obsessed with his mustache?

The two people hooked up and opened the mode of literary and artistic indifferent dialogue, anyway, each said his own words, you and I vulgar audiences did not understand very well.

Then, the film began to collapse uncontrollably and rapidly.

01. The logic is broken, and the style is mixed and matched

Just said, it can be roughly seen that director Chen Zheyi is a self-righteous literary and artistic youth.

His viewing records must include "All About Lily Zhou", "Swallowtail Butterfly", Jia Zhangke's "Mountains and Rivers Departed", Tang Wei and Hyun Bin's "Late Autumn", and the shocking "Dream of Paris". (There is even "Heaven and Earth"?) ）

Otherwise, he would not have come up with some wanted criminal, book thief, threesome, minus thirty or forty degrees, and he would have to touch the tape in the bathroom in the ice and snow of the northeast?

Haofeng's mobile phone was dropped, and he couldn't find it everywhere, and a dazed expression appeared in the crowd; Nana was completely fascinated, directly paid for a mobile phone, and then took it to eat with the spare tire man like a pet, singing K bungee again, and going home drunk.

Which tour guide are you, a living bodhisattva who rescues lost lambs?

But the director quickly gave us another logical line. Haofeng is a financial man from Shanghai, wearing a famous watch, a generous hand, and countless tour guides, obviously treating him as fat meat that fell into the mouth of a wolf.

In contrast, the vegetable man played by Qu Chuxiao, Han Xiao, is naturally several heads lower.

So the tour guide's behavior has a reason, and the financial man was extremely enthusiastic when he first met, eating, drinking, and entertaining, and finally took it home and threw it into bed, giving up his life to feed the tiger.

On the other hand, he is full of disgust for the vegetable man, although the vegetable man has been a spare tire for many years, and he has played a song by himself with a guitar, which is completely at the level of direct debut.

The tour guide was moved to tears by the singing, full of tenderness and dedication to the financial man; Lihua's pitiful appearance with tears deeply attracted the lonely and lonely Haofeng.

This is a living industry discrimination.

The previous reality footnotes are all paved stages, presumably to increase the credibility of the characters. All the scenes that followed were almost out of touch with real life.

The three young people became lonely souls above time and space, and they were the spokespersons of Japan's cruel youth for a while, playing the book stealing game in "Lily Zhou"; One moment is the desperate couple of "Late Autumn", staring at the roe deer and monkeys in the zoo in the middle of the night, making it look like three silly roe deer; A moment later, it was the swinging teenager in "Dream Paris", surging hormones wantonly.

Imitating the bridges of many classic movies, the main mash-up, but lacking the main story and smooth connection, so the mix and match became a monk's clothes, completely unable to see their own style.

In particular, there is also a brushing plot inserted in the middle of the elevator crowd, and literary men and women still want to play this play? Let people go back to the tram crazy scene in seconds.

Haven't you been imitating Japanese youth films? Director, I'm afraid you've learned a fork in the road, right?

02. Emotions are misaligned, and character settings are chaotic

Under such a fragmented plot, the characters naturally lose their ability to act and credibility.

Nana's identity is a tour guide, but she behaves very amateurishly, except for a few passages of tour guides, she is completely a literary girl who goes her own way. The love and mercy born to Haofeng is also inexplicable, and the wave opening after that has nothing to do with the indifference in front.

Haofeng is no better, in order to create a melancholy image, the entire movie is wrapped in a black coat, always pretending to be deep. That image temperament is definitely not a depressed patient, it is completely the appearance of a sullen literary man, and it is not even a hair with financial elites and high-net-worth individuals. Nana couldn't even see this, she could only say that she was blind.

However, the role of Han Xiao, because of his plump and down-to-earth, shows his vivid and true charm. A few simple pushes are far more effective than the other two to plump up.

Haofeng got drunk and missed the plane and decided to stay and play. Then, the three youths turned on the berserk wolf mode.

Mountains, clouds, dead branches, snowfields, passion, unbridled youth, are also beautiful scenery and eye-catching teenagers, quite a bit of music MV romance.

In fact, it's good that the three of them travel around like this, but they don't last long, so they have to chat a few words and advance the story. But when Zhou Dongyu and Liu Haoran began to speak lines, ready to advance the story, the atmosphere began to embarrass the sky.

Because the characters are so thin and confused, I even suspect that the screenwriter has never written a complete character biography. Zhou and Liu performed according to their first senses, so they seemed extremely superficial, smiling when they were happy, crying when they were unhappy, frowning when they were depressed, and smoking when they were lonely.

It is estimated that the director himself can't watch it, so he quickly took out an unspeakable scene that has been publicized thousands of times.

So it makes the scene even more embarrassing.

Two passionate teenagers, but like a middle-aged couple, they did a routine and said "sorry"?

Fortunately, Zhou Dongyu did not reply "It's okay". A few words of dialogue follow:

"Wounded at eighteen."

"How did it hurt?"

"Wayward."

"Still want to?"

What's all this about? It's purely talking to himself, ignoring the intelligence and understanding of the audience.

The whole film has been wandering in the mysterious illusion for a long time, and for the sake of augmented reality, the director also set up a clue about the wanted criminal.

The wanted criminals kept appearing on television, appearing on posters, and finally being pressed down on the railroad tracks by the police.

His only contact with the three was Han Xiao, who was drunk and confused, watching the back of the wanted criminal travel far away.

WTF？ I thought it would be some kind of exciting fight and hunt, but it turned out to show me this?

03. Moaning without disease, indiscriminately sensationalizing literary and artistic fan

Looking at the whole film, if you are a little more careful, you can also see the emotional fulcrum and memory fragments that the director is trying to leave.

Nana used to be a potential figure skating competitor, self-exiled after being injured, cut off all contact with her family and coach, struggled to survive alone in the northeast border city, and healed her injuries alone;

Haofeng was pressed into the inner roll of education since childhood, and his achievements stood out but left psychological trauma, although the high-end prospects of the industry were clear, he was always depressed, lost emotional support, and could not find the meaning of survival, so he fell into depression;

Han Xiao was on the move, always unable to find a place to put himself, coupled with his academic failures, he was pressed everywhere, so he had to lie flat on the bottom floor, secretly distressed.

The three young people are struggling alone in their own predicament, and the chance encounter in the small northeast city is like three ants clinging to each other, hugging each other for warmth. No name asked, no distinction between men and women, just soothing the anxious soul with the company of the body. Then they each don't go and move on.

Believe me, the synopsis of the story written by the director is probably not more than the above paragraphs.

Because every clue in the film is very thin and conceptual, like a text introduction, and not shown through the story or details, the emotion is as sudden as that classmate, without the slightest foreshadowing and brewing, and it is impossible to inject emotions into the characters.

So all the sighs seemed sudden and inexplicable.

Filled with the low music of the whole film ("Silent Hill"), the three walk through the wasteland of dead branches, accompanied by the soothing and desolate BGM, which is also a sensational means that has long been abandoned;

Later, three more people walked through the maze of ice walls, looking around, but always missed. The imagery and connotation are too simple to read.

On Changbai Mountain, the financial man is trying to jump off a cliff; Suddenly disturbed by the call, it turned out that they met a big brown bear.

The three of them were dumbfounded, and the brown bear came close to smell it, sniffed Zhou Dongyuzi carefully, and then walked away. As if there was not a trace of human flesh smelled.

Is it that Zhou Dongyu doesn't like bathing? Drove the brown bear away with the smell of sweat?

No wonder when Zhou Dongyu went back to take a bath, the mustache Liu Haoran wanted to rub through the tape, but also wanted to save some water, help her rub her back, and wash it clean?

Why didn't Big Bear directly bury the three people in the pit? It's so much more exciting than it is now?

Just when I was wondering, suddenly the music masterpiece, the clear female voice sang "Arirang", and the Changbai Mountain covered by clouds and snow can really be described as "Mountain Dance Silver Snake, Original Chi Wax Elephant". However, this has something to do with the story?

Well, at the end, the vegetable man rides a motorcycle to a distant place, and Nana finally calls her mother; The financial man also relaxed and fell into a deep sleep. They all received their own salvation.

The audience also sighed, this smelly and long literary and artistic footcloth was finally finished.
