Many people describe our time as having entered a phase of fragmentation. Everyone is mediocre and getting up early no longer has the courage to dream. The emergence of movies seems to give a deeper meaning to many useless hours, and at the same time awakens, in the years of the slumbering youth. Cold niche movies and commercial blockbusters are competing with each other, just like the ancient civil servants and military generals, each of which has its own flash point. The commercial face of the group is the public, while the former is more like the director through the change of the artwork, can understand very few people.
One, "The Elephant Sits on the Ground"
When people know the name Hu Bo, it is "The Elephant Sits on the Ground" is about to be released in theaters.2018 this story about the bottom of the people in the remote areas, said the pathos in the heart of the little man. A talented young man, who had been abandoned by society, finally delivers a test about success to people. But when his family is made a household name being aware of his achievements.
It was too late. The movie was not shot with much extravagance, and the characters in the movie are all attempting to compromise society's "perfection" and change themselves, but most of them are later like migrating birds, gradually far away from the road home.
We used to play a game of jigsaw puzzles as children. Everyone racks their brains trying to put the last piece together to achieve inner perfection. This movie is full of sadness throughout, breaking the traditional optimism and goodwill towards life. In fact, frankly speaking, life has always been like this, it's seriously sad and unsympathetic. But people who are struggling on the edge still have to work hard to stay alive.
Two, "Burning"
Famous writer Haruki Murakami's short story, "Burning Barns," is the most thought-provoking of his many works. So the 2018 movie "Burning" based on the novel of the same name its suspenseful plot makes the audience feel a deep shock. At first glance the movie looks like a traditional love story of a woman wandering between two men.
But it was only later that I realized it was a story of human class struggle and desire. This movie has a very clever use of the word "hunger", the lower class for the upper class, the upper class for the noble status of the obsession, everyone is actually a gluttonous feast do not know the depth of the diners.
With director Lee Chang-dong's poetic touch, the movie's plot is innovative and describes the struggles of marginalized people. This silent cry is rich in illusory philosophical significance, and is indeed known as a favorite of the literati by many of them. "It turns out that we are all weirdos in other people's eyes", only that everyone's quirks are wrapped up in each other's skin without any cracks. That's supposed to be the most helpless thing about people.
Three "Silent Land"
The apocalyptic genre has a very stable audience from time to time. When Silent Land was first released, it was called the most unique horror genre movie of 2018. When the world is all monstrous and the moment you make any sound is the beginning of your journey towards death, it's as creepy as it sounds. It completely blocked out the actors' voices and presented a brutally calm and darkly murderous perspective, undoubtedly revolutionizing the new style of cinema and the beginning of it.
People's desire for silence is really and completely realized in this movie. Director John Krasinski has been hailed as a forerunner of horror cinema, though "Silent Place" with its meaningful implications about the end of days seems a bit more worthy of discussion.
It also raises varying degrees of alarm as to whether we are too neglectful of the company of those around us.
Four "Over Spring"
What is youth? Is it the apprehensive mood mixed with adventure, or is it the clueless spring heart with girlish feelings. Over Spring, a youthful feature film with a rare vision about a young girl, Pepe, traveling through two cities after becoming a waterman. It replaces the past youthful series synonymous with foul language, abortion and indecency.
It focuses on the real thoughts of a young girl in a very real way, and gives back a pure youth story. Everyone in this movie has the curiosity and daring of our youth. It weakens some of the crime and presents the story with a sense of leaping into adventure, which does elicit a lot of **** from the audience!
In fact, there are a lot of cold best films in 2018 whose publicity sound is not as loud as commercial films, but they can become great works of art in their own unique way, inseparable from the audience's taste and excellent cooperation between the director and the actors. The word "life" is a topic that has been chewed on many times. The touch brought to us by these few cold best films is that you always have to burn off your excess repression to usher in your favorite light, right?
