But the tone of the film is very heavy, especially the underground part, which is very depressing. However, the structure of the film is very simple, the story is described directly, there is not much suspense, but it can catch the audience's eye well and watch the director tell you the story slowly. The narrative of "Blind Mountain" is the same. Tell the story slowly, the camera seems to have no emotion, and you don't seem to feel what the director wants to bring you. Li Yang shows these pictures clearly in front of you. You, like that villager in the mountain, witnessed the whole incident with your own eyes. At this moment, you are no longer an audience, but more like a participant. Maybe this is what Li Yang wants to give you. After reading Blind Mountain and related articles, I found that this situation is not uncommon in China. I can't imagine how these people survived, and I really can't imagine what you would think and do if these things happened before your eyes.
Do you understand it from the perspective of villagers or consider it from the perspective of victims? In that environment, I'm afraid my behavior will become uncertain. Both films use dialects. Blind wells speak Henan dialect, while blind mountains speak Sichuan dialect. To tell the truth, some emotions can only be better expressed in the language you are familiar with. I also admire Li Yang's casting ability. Wang He and the other two stars in The Blind Well, Huang Lu and the villagers in the Blind Mountain, have just the right expressions and lines. Perhaps the director saw the true colors in the actor's bones before he could use his ideas. What he performed was not artificial, but very natural. Using less red meat and finding more suitable people is very helpful to improve the texture of the film. It is not easy to make such a film in China. Although it is forbidden, it is better to talk than nothing.
Recently, there was a similar movie called "The Labyrinth of the Heart" with a similar theme. Youku seems to be able to watch it, and seems to want a member. Don't miss a good-looking and in-depth movie, just like bitter Chinese medicine soup. Although it tastes bad, it can be recuperated when you are sick.
