The National Day holiday in 2022 is in bleakness, with box office and no box office, movie and no movie, but we "winned".
An official media wrote: Although the epidemic is frequent, the Chinese film market has shown super resilience... Overall, Chinese film still reflects a positive trend of continuous steady improvement...
is really awesome, which means there is still room for decline.
As a practitioner, I have hit a new low number of times this year. Whenever my friends around me ask what the movie theater is good, I will shook my hand: Forget it, don’t waste this time.
Since that's the case, today I will briefly organize some new foreign films worth watching in the near future. At the end of
, I have been working hard in the past few months.
1. " Hunting " Director: Lee Jung-jae
After becoming popular all over the world for starring in "The Squid's Game", Lee Jung-jae took out his director's debut work "Hunting".
This film is full of stars and familiar faces in various Korean movies, in addition to starring Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung , there are also Hwang Jung-min , Joo Ji-hoon , Park Sung-hyung , etc.
As we all know, Korean movies have a treasure that they have dug and dug, namely the political struggle between the north and the south.
"Hunting" tells the story of two important officials of the Ministry of National Security, Park Bing-ho (played by Lee Jung-jae) and Kim Jong-do (played by Jung Woo-sung), who pursued the leader of the North Korean spy lurking in South Korea, revealing the amazing truth.
It should be said that "Hunting" is better than "Harding from Evil" starring Lee Jung-jae and Hwang Jung-min two years ago, but it is far behind "New World" starring them ten years ago.
It can be seen that Lee Jung-jae, who was the director for the first time, put in full force. The entire "Hunting" has huge information, first-class audio-visual effects, the narrative rhythm is clean and neat, the movements are as hard as the flesh, and the reversals are also turning and turning, which is really exciting...
What is more regrettable is that the plot is too full and chaotic.
, just like netizens commented: Korean movies have all come and have a lot of talented people, and there is no reason to be bad in acting. The content scale is as large as ever, and I envy such creative freedom.
2. " New Ultraman " Director: Higuchi Shinji
top IP, gathering luxurious configurations of Anno Hideaki , Saito Kyu , Nagasawa Masami , Nishijima Hidetsu-, and Hiroshi Genshi and others.
In the movie, we will see the giant Nagasawa Masami...
The first Ultraman in Japan was born in 1966, and it has been 56 years since then. The story of "New Ultraman" comes from a combination of multiple plots in "The First Generation Ultraman".
It can be said that the sentiment is basically full, the sound effects and soundtrack are original, the pace is also very fast, and the monsters are hit one after another, but in essence it is a political entertainment perspective, completely an adult texture.
However, for viewers who do not have the background knowledge of Ultramen, they will feel a bit fragmented and dull.
3. "Athena" Director: Roman Gafras
filming the riot, but the French still have to come. This movie is a "screaming anger".
movies show the big picture from the small, showing the social scene of the entire France from the riots in a community, thus allowing us to see the violence, tear and conflict in the whole world.
I have to say that the audio-visual of "Athena" is shocking, and the long shots give people a strong sense of immersion, as if they are in it and have no chance to stop and breathe.
But I feel that the ending is too hasty, and it seems like a slash.
4. "Falling" Director: Scott Man
There is nothing to say about this movie. The only reason worth watching is to have an addiction in this high-altitude desperate situation.
Seeing some friends looking into bugs in detail, my idea is OK, but it is not necessary. This kind of movie is just an atmosphere, purely physiological reaction.
5. "Fast and Love" Director: Navapen Taron Guatanali
The biggest surprise of Thai comedy films in 2022. Navapen is also the Thai director I like very much in recent years. His previous works "Love Treatment", " Died Tomorrow " are all very worth watching.
movie "Fast and Love" tells the story of a world champion who lost his girlfriend, just like Batman without Alfred, the king of competitive cups, who seriously lacks self-care ability in real life.
, it is a nagging story about the growth of giant babies.
But the director made it interesting, kept playing with memes, made fun of classic movies, and often used magnificent bgm to render the trivialities of daily life. He was serious in the first second, but suddenly reversed the next second, and burst into laughter.
6. "The Girl in the Deep in the Swamp" Director: Olivia Newman
The new movie of the heroine in the popular drama "Normal People" two years ago is adapted from the best-selling novel "The Place where the Cicada Sings".
movie tells the story of Kiya, a young woman living alone in the depths of the swamp, who is suspected to be the number one suspect in the death case of a young man, and she struggles hard for this.
On the surface, this is a suspense film, but in fact its plot is very flat, focusing on the protagonist's love, but it is not only a romantic film, because the most touching thing about the whole film is the core of the heroine's growth and becoming stronger.
These days, I can tell stories quietly, and I don’t have much to enjoy the feeling of “beauty” after watching it. This is a movie.
7. "The Best Beer Delivery" Director: Peter Fareyri
Oscar Best Picture " Green Book " new work directed by director. The structure of
is similar to "Green Book". First, the funny plot begins, then the serious real problem, and finally the warmth sublimation. Although this film is not as good as "Green Book", it is very suitable for viewing at the moment and is in line with the context and emotions of today's world.
movie is actually a real story adaptation. The protagonist is an wine mingle , "Little Pink", who drunk and said he wanted to go to Vietnam in the war and give the beer from his hometown to his childhood friends on the front line.
Originally, he was just a verbal trick, but after being inspired by various people, he got on a steamship and went to Vietnam. He saw the hypocrisy of the country, the cruelty of the war, and the unnecessary sacrifices of his contemporaries...
However, the whole movie was filmed too ideal, and the reflection was also average, but fortunately, the whole beer delivery process was very interesting. There is a line in the movie
that says it very well: the truth will not hurt us, only lies will, and lies and conspiracy theories that distort facts are what hurts this country.
8. "Bullet Train" Director: David Reach
This year's very interesting entertainment blockbuster, adapted from Isaka Kotaro novel "Ladybug", with big names gathered.
The two most prominent features of this movie are: one is humor, American style, and keep talking; the other is action, Japanese style, short, flat and fast, and plasma splattering everywhere.
movie takes place on a train, with a bunch of killers on the train, and the killers cut each other to the end by accident due to various coincidences.
The style of the whole film is very crazy, with many characters and mixed characters, which looks a bit confusing at first, but the hot scenes come one by one. After a series of random fights, I finally got back by fate.
Its theme is actually very simple, just live. In a murderous contest, living is victory.
9. "Alcalas" Director: Kara Simon
This movie was also released. It defeated "Insidious Dust Smoke" in the 72nd Berlin movie and won the Berlin Best Picture Golden Bear Award .
Like "Invisible in the Dust", "Alcalas" also films the production and life of farmers. The difference is that the former is more of a kind of powerlessness that obeys others, while the latter is a struggle.
Most of the plots in the first part of the movie are dull and boring. They are basically the daily work of a large family of peach farmers, eating, chatting, playing, watching TV, dancing, going to the market, picking peaches and selling peaches...
Compared with that, although "Invisible in the Dust" was filmed more deliberately, the emotions conveyed are stronger.
, and "Alcalas" is more realistic and a very natural record, which truly presents a certain state of life in human life, which resonates with resonance and aftertaste.
10. "Holiday after the sun" Director: Charlotte Wells
Summer is over, and at the end I was deeply moved by the female director's debut work.
I can't even say what the story tells, but every shot of the movie is full of notes of life and the breath of memories.
The narrative of the whole movie is extremely light, the content is full of vitality and imagination, and the viewing process is very pleasant.
Anyway, go and see it.
In addition, I want to say something that has nothing to do with this article, which is what I think.
I believe that every time I can see my article at the end, the people who really care about me.
The short film I crowdfunded and shot before has now entered post-production in full swing. is very grateful for everyone's support, so I can get to where I am today. Please enter
. I have prepared this article for nine years and synced this information with you. The first is to let everyone know the progress of the project, and the second is to ask if there are any friends or companies that want to cooperate. After all, there are samples now.
The money I have in my hands can support editing, sound design, and color adjustment, but it may be more difficult to complete the soundtrack, film festival delivery, and English subtitles.
This time I will not place a separate support link. You have helped me a lot. I am very clear. I still have interested friends or companies who are welcome to contact me by email: [email protected]. It doesn’t matter if
doesn’t have it, after all, the lack of fees is not huge. If
really doesn't work, please answer more advertisements, but I just hope that when you see me posting advertisements, you will understand more and complain less.
I have not given up on my belief, our principles are still there, my ideals are hot and warm, everyone can rest assured.
Finally, I hope everyone can go well.
