This is not a romance.
But this film understands what love looks like in life.
The husband and wife played by Huang Xuan and Yang Zishan tore each other apart, and the man caught evidence of the woman's ambiguity with her old classmate, so he asked.
M: "Did you sleep with him?" "—Inner: Honey, tell me you don't.
F: "What do you say?" Heart: Don't you know whether I love you or not? Of course, I didn't sleep!
Male inner: The evidence is conclusive, you can't argue, right?
Female inner: You are looking for something to do, don't spew blood to wrongfully accuse the old woman.
Huang Xuan and Yang Zishan had a showdown and owed a bunch of debts for their investment failures.
F: "Why didn't you communicate with me earlier?" Inside: You don't respect me at all.
Male Inner: Did I say you agree earlier?
M: "We divorce, who will the children belong to?" ”
F: "How do you know I'm pregnant?" Can you afford it? Inside: I know you owe so much money and can't pay it back, and it's useless to tell you.
Male: "Why don't you tell me when you're pregnant, is it because you have a weak heart?" Inside: Are you pregnant with someone else's child?
F: "If it's not your child, it's not your child, are you satisfied?" "—Inner: I have wronged again, and I will be angry with you.
In fact, many times in life, it is not that they do not love each other, but that God has made the ghost not talk to each other well.
Even couples who have tacit understanding should communicate frankly.
"Wuhai" is the second work directed by Zhou Ziyang, compared with the first "Old Beast", it still maintains storytelling in the northwest context, and shows the style of the northwest very well, and from time to time there are some magic strokes. But looking at it as a whole, I feel that Zhou Ziyang is still almost meaningless than Xin Yukun (representing "Labyrinth of Hearts" and "Bursting Silence").
Zhou Ziyang's films have several major characteristics.
First, you can grasp some of the highlights of daily life very accurately.
For example, two couples flirting and saying that they want to come up to the yoga sling for a while.
For example, breaking off someone else's prosthetic limb between entanglement with a debt collector.
The second is to always tell stories around money, and use money to trigger conflicts.
For example, the contradiction between husband and wife is caused by the difference in family status and life feelings caused by economic foundations.
For example, the debt problem between Yang Hua and Luo Hong.
For example, the entanglement between the L loan girl and Yang Hua.
The third is that he likes to let the protagonist rely on fixed transportation to change scenes.
For example, the electric car in the old beast.
For example, Yang Hua's Audi SUV.
Fourth, the protagonist's life is very embarrassing.
The old beast was still a little calmer, and Yang Hua's life was directly a ten thousand arrows through the heart and desperate.
Huang Xuan was beaten everywhere, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he was extremely depressed, so he could only slap himself with dirty words.
Mourn its unfortunate interpretation, but so.
Unfortunately, after the overall story emotions were suppressed to the point of not being able to do so, there was a problem with the emotional catharsis arranged by Zhou Ziyang.
Of course, there is a thrill to retaliate against those who owe their own money, but after igniting the other party's venue, their own arrears problem has not been alleviated.
And Yang Hua's final murder motive, played by Huang Xuan, is actually not very sufficient.
He didn't take advantage of the danger of others, and he also knew how to protect his family, so how could he suddenly have a murderous heart? It's puzzling.
From a technical point of view, the film's indoor reception is very bad, and the vocals are very flat.
The movement of the lens is also very lacking, although it seems to be used as a Belgian director of photography, but the expressiveness of the film picture is not strong.
In fact, Huang Xuan and Yang Zishan's quarrel played a good scene, but unfortunately did not shoot the tension that should be there, which is a pity!
Finally, if the cold disciples want to achieve a class leap, they must be stable, and they must not be wrong, because you really have no chance of trial and error, and it is difficult to turn over if you are wrong.
