The Eagle Huntress (2016) Director: Otto Bell Starring: Daisy Ridley/Aisholpan Nurgaiv/RysNurgaiv The recent Indian movie "Dangal!"

"Dad" is currently being screened in China. The story tells the story of a father who allows his daughter to practice wrestling despite social prejudice and pressure. It has received good reviews.

The movie is very vulgar, but vulgar is burning and vulgar is passionate.

This documentary is the Falconer's version of "Dangal!"

"Dad" tells the story of a little girl named Asopan who lives in the Alta?r Mountains in northwest Mongolia. Her father broke the local custom of passing boys to girls for hundreds of years and taught her to tame a falcon, becoming the first female falconer in the area.

story.

This documentary was nominated for many important awards during last year's awards season, and it also won the top five documentaries at the National Board of Review Awards last year.

The Little Girl Essopan is Handsome. This is a very entertaining documentary. It is as if it was filmed according to the script. The events are captured in a very beautiful, very burning and very passionate way. I like "Dangal!"

"Dad" fans will also like this documentary.

The story is basically three parts. First, why the little girl wants to be a falconer. Then, the little girl participates in the local Golden Eagle Festival competition. Finally, she takes the falcon into the mountains to hunt. The three parts are how this 13-year-old girl behaves.

The process of becoming a true female falconer.

There are many plots in the film that are very purposeful, the editing of many shots has strong traces of artificiality, and many shots look obviously staged.

The staging of documentaries is often criticized, but in the face of the appeal of the film, many viewers simply don't care whether the plot was intentional by the director.

The daily life of a little girl is shot as a feature film, and the feeling is definitely not like a direct film by Frederick Wiseman. Many people think that when making a documentary, the creator should hide behind the scenes and be a bystander.

Maintain a neutral attitude.

In fact, today's documentaries are all shot in a variety of ways. For example, Fan Lixin's "The Return Train" is staged as a thin pseudo-documentary. It is shot like a TV series, but it can still move many people emotionally. The Douban score of 8.4 is an example.

"The Return Train" was shot in the same way as "The Falconer". "The Falconer" is the kind of movie that touches many people, whether it's the scenery of Mongolia or the love between father and daughter.

According to local customs, falconers capture three-month-old young eagles, raise them, tame them, command the falcons to hunt with commands, and teach the falcons how to land on their arms.

An eagle serves a family for seven years. When the time is up, the falcon is released to complete its mission of reincarnation.

They respect tradition and fear gods.

The nomads in Mongolia are much more open-minded than the Chinese or Indians. A father who teaches his daughter how to tame a falcon is opposed by the male elders in the family. Many people gossip and think that girls should learn to do housework and do some work.

Do the things girls should do.

It's just that this father has a relatively gentle attitude towards gender prejudice. He is always a gentle and polite person, and always smiles kindly no matter what he hears.

You will fall in love with such a father. In addition to silent support for his daughter, he also provides various words of encouragement.

The family in the film that Esopan participated in the Golden Eagle Festival competition for the first time showed no pretense or humility in expressing their emotions and themselves, and they seemed so proud of everything they did.

You can view this documentary as a passionate inspirational movie. Its script is no different from a feature film, and its editing techniques are also very feature film-like.

Here comes the most criticized issue. The director came to shoot the Mongolian female falconer, a profession that few young people are interested in. It can be said to be a dying profession and a cultural symbol of a nation. It is very consistent with

The shooting method of ethnographic films can unearth many rich national stories, but in the end the director only chose to shoot a thin pseudo-documentary.

The most touching thing in the film between Aisopan and Dad and Mom is actually the love between father and daughter. Of course, we can still see the harmony between man and nature, and man's reverence for nature, but more importantly, there is a sense of curiosity, bringing this Mongolian family together.

The harmony between people, the harmony between father and daughter, and the little girl's genius in taming the falcon create a paradise and idealistic look.

Cutting documentaries according to the style of Hollywood genre films is purely to cater to the American audience in the mainstream market. It will only give people a stereotyped feeling in terms of the artistry of the film. This is like a double-edged sword, which ensures the entertainment of the film.

, retaining the audience, but at the same time it is bound to suffer from the critical eyes of some viewers.

Whether you like it or not, the creators of this film achieved their goals.
