Hoh Xil Review

Here, every footprint you leave may be the first footprint left by human beings.

Scene 1: An eagle flies in, followed by a flock of eagles, then the clean and naked back of Qiangba, and the celestial burial master wields a knife. ...

Scene 2: Ma Zhanlin stood by the silent body of Taiwan and Japan for a long time, not far from his departing companion, and in the distance was the silent mountains. ...

Lens 3: The sky is boundless and quiet. Liu Dong slowly sank into quicksand, panicked or calmed down. Nothing can stop the relentless sinking of life. The only thing he can do is look at the quicksand and swallow himself up bit by bit.

And his worldly desires, his goodness, his evil, his evil, all disappeared in the desert, without calling for help or wailing.

It begins with the celestial burial ceremony and ends with the celestial burial ceremony. It is indisputable that this is a work that pays attention to death and is also a work that witnesses death. Whether it indicates the continuous cycle of life or symbolizes the endless cycle of life and death, it focuses on the eternal theme of human death. This is an epic about faith, and it is the swan song of an iron skeleton man on the Gobi Desert.

No praise, no irony, no criticism, no flogging. Movies are full of desperate struggles, struggles with nature, struggles with poachers, and struggles with themselves. Li Jingze said that Lu Chuan's films are a revolution to China's film aesthetics-prudent support. I think the most important thing about movies is not necessarily the revolution in aesthetic sense, but the great tension of life and existence.

"Bang", a life is over, and the last request before death: "Put down the gun and come with me." The knot of life can be so simple.

Girl in white, celestial burial master's knife, hovering eagle, Lama chanting. All memorials only remind the existence of life, but memorials are nothingness, and existence itself is biased and needs to be proved by nothingness, because existence is always so easy to be ignored.

When the struggling body and twitching limbs of Tibetan antelope appeared in front of me cruelly and truly, my heart ached, and when the scenes of red skeletons, sheepskins everywhere and numb herders peeling sheepskins for 5 yuan's money appeared, I was already angry! However, that's just anger, and the reality will not change because of the anger of a bystander! Paradox? Ridiculous?

Through the film, we see a group of tragic heroes and their absurd living conditions; We see the weakness and sadness of a group of idealists and want to cry without tears! A group of heroes who can't even get a salary of several hundred yuan are working hard to protect Tibetan antelopes, but they themselves have not received the protection and support that the government should have; They either starved to death, were killed by poachers or were submerged by quicksand. They don't live as easily as Tibetan antelopes, but they are burdened with lofty ideals, heavy responsibilities and hard lives! Later, eight of the survivors were prosecuted and sentenced by the government for selling Tibetan antelope skins seized from poachers without permission.

Who is the real ideal subject of Hoh Xil? Is it Taiwan Day? He is a leader, a father and a determined actor. His behavior is clear, but the sense of identity he brings us is-vague. He is a mixture of hero and reality. In fact, the whole movie.

This is a wilderness.

Are mixed with complex and contradictory mentality.

A person who exiled himself in the Christmas situation, completely offsetting and alienating his position and significance. He is not a policeman, but a member of the volunteer mountain patrol team acting in the name of the Western Working Committee. He fined the fishermen who were stuck on the ice, wrote a note on the spot, and took the official seal out of his pocket and stamped it. He instructs players to sell leather; He chased the boss regardless of his team members and his own life; It seems that all this will make us doubt the justice and purity of the characters. Then, the single boss of Taiwan and Japan was killed. It seems that the sacrifice of Taiwan and Japan has enhanced his screen image, or it is a kind of preservation. In this way, what we see is an atypical hero or even a non-hero. He is a withered and collapsed figure in the natural environment of desert flowers and in the difficult, powerless and absurd social environment.

One of the most energetic and plump characters in the film is Dong Liu. As a mountain patrol, he was led around by the captain of Taiwan and Japan. He not only has no complaints, but also has intense life instinct and emotional pursuit. The most amazing thing is that he reached out to his escort girlfriend for money without blushing, and then turned to defend the lofty mission of a group of volunteers with the blood and blood money of the lowest women. It is also the foreshadowing of these shots in advance, so when Dong Liu turned back to the desert hinterland to rescue his comrades and was buried by quicksand inch by inch, we would be deeply shocked by the human temperature in the terrible silence!

Hoh Xil, our simple and clear criteria for judging good or bad for many years have completely failed. Good and bad can be transformed in an instant, just like life and death.

A team member who has been camping in a snowstorm for three years seems to have signed a insistence: for our own sheep! The sigh of Ma Zhanlin, an accomplice of Tibetan antelope hunters, unconsciously hit our natural ecology and the situation of the whole mankind: "The grassland has become a desert, and all the cattle and sheep have died!" Therefore, in the face of several members of Ma Zhanlin's family, in order to survive, they had to peel off the skin and fur of Tibetan antelope in order to become fashionable internationally.

The mountain patrol who chased Ma Zhanlin's father and son fell to the ground because of pulmonary edema, but it happened that Ma Zhanlin's son saved him. Finally, saving Jinyu is also an accomplice of poachers.

Poachers poach Tibetan antelopes to survive, and mountain patrol members also sell antelope skins to entertain their teammates.

……

There is no absolute good or evil in the world. The wicked will choose goodness in some cases, and Ma Zhanlin will finally tell the surviving journalists to follow the footsteps of the sought-after people and go to expressway.

With the increasing abundance of materials, China's cars, fresh clothes and songs are everywhere in the world. People who climb mountains and mountains have dirty hands and faces, but their hearts are clean. People are used to measuring people by the nobleness of their souls, and then they are used to being scolded by Xiao Yu. How many people here can clap their chests and say that their hearts are cleaner than that Ma Zhanlin? -"Take a piece of 5 yuan money!" Maybe the difference really lies in whether there is a word "clothes".

In reality, "good" and "bad" can't be clearly distinguished, and more often morality is subordinate to survival.

Director Lu Chuan said: "Hoh Xil is a paradise and a hell, and it is also a holy place to witness life and faith!" In Mongolian, Hoh Xil means beautiful girl, which is probably an obscenity name and an unknown name.

The beautiful girl is very sad. Since ancient times, they have been occupied by wealth and power and become playthings or vases. There are too many sins behind wealth and power, so beautiful girls have lived in sin since ancient times. When morality and law lose their binding force, beautiful girls will be humiliated by ordinary men like you and me, killed by jealous eyes of old women and ugly women, and drowned. Such a story was written by Lars in Dogville. Von Thiel showed its nakedness with a magnifying glass; Even the beautiful young woman in Sicily's beautiful legend is born to die. In short, the fate of beautiful girls is mostly tragic, which also confirms the old saying that "beauty has been unlucky since ancient times."

Therefore, when a region is named after a "beautiful girl", it must be dangerous and doomed to be shrouded in desire, sin and death! For Hoh Xil, I would rather translate it into "beautiful Tibetan antelope", because it has been a paradise for Tibetan antelopes for tens of thousands of years; Now this beautiful Tibetan antelope's home has been trampled by human beings, and so have they.

So why do humans ravage this beautiful land and destroy these Tibetan antelopes? Because some women want to dress up more beautifully with wool,

They kill Tibetan antelopes to satisfy their desire for money, and some people just want to survive!

Hoh Xil, life and death, good and evil, violence, blood. It doesn't belong to human beings, let alone women.

"There are many good girls", which is ridiculous, but it makes me laugh. In Hoh Xil, they struggled in the forbidden area of life with the most determined strength, only accompanied by faith, and lived with the will we could not imagine. Facing the gun, Tairi can still swing one last punch, and then, with a bang, he fell to the ground, twitched, another bullet, and never twitched again. Jamba left; Dong Liu is gone; Even the strong Lausanne will struggle and cry in the snow and say "we can't get out", and the players will disappear one by one. Finally, the captain of Taiwan and Japan will rest in that land.

We think, then we understand, and then we suddenly realize that the world is not just full of traffic, and not everyone can enjoy coffee so comfortably. The spirit is getting tired day by day. In an era of lack of faith and a secular society where profits are everywhere, where can we find spiritual enrichment?

We know very little about life and beliefs, and we always do.

But now, I can finally say: "The portrait of Guevara printed on the jersey is out of date!" "

A small African refugee muttered "there will be bread" before he died. As listeners, should we sing elegy or pray-now, you say!
