Film evaluation

The cruel and ups and downs of the film "Unknown" seems to be a tragic epic created by director Cheng Er. In the background time and space bearing China's heavy historical memory, we witnessed the light of faith of those who gave their lives for justice, the cunning and treachery of aggressors and accomplices, and different undercurrents and mysteries collided and stirred in the film. As a spy war suspense film, Unknown has grown into a unique aesthetic story under the control of Cheng Er. "Namelessness" is not only a mystery, but also a potential explanation and hint.

At the beginning of the film, Tony Leung Chiu Wai is in a deep and exquisite space, with spotless leather shoes and a fitted suit. His eyes looked over, but he couldn't see where his eyes ended up. He can't see whether his mood is confused or sad. He just vaguely felt that such eyes told a huge unknown. It's been a long time since I met Tony Leung Chiu Wai's eyes again.

In this process, this kind of look seems to be printed in the audience's mind, which makes the audience miss and feel uneasy all the time in the plot flow, and constantly splicing various possibilities with the plot. The director uses flashback, positive narration, interweaving time and space, sometimes parallel to the audience, and sometimes "luring" the audience into the whirlpool, testing the audience's logical thinking through careful structure and editing techniques.
